Chapter 78 I’ll Kill Her!

Zayn took a long look at Aidan as he was about to leave the house. He wasn’t sure if Aidan knew aboutLeanna’s pregnancy. “Mr. Barnett,” Aidan called. “I hope this doesn’t happen again,” he told Zayn.

Hearing Aidan’s words, Zayn halted his footsteps and contemplated Aidan’s words before responding,“Are you saying this because you’re worried about Anna?”

“She’s my cousin, after all. Don’t you think I should be concerned?” Aidan asked in return.

“Well, that’s surprising. You might not be a good husband, but it seems like you’re a good cousin, huh,President Pearson,” Zayn uttered. His words made Aidan’s gaze darken for a moment. While Aidanfixed his angry gaze on Zayn, Zayn simply nodded before walking away.

Then, Aidan turned back to replace Anna standing close to him. Gordon and Sienna were both sitting onthe couch, and they didn’t look too pleased. This entire incident was supposed to be Zayn’s fault, butafter the fuss they created, and since Anna didn’t have evidence, it now seemed as if the Pearsonswere just stirring up some drama.

“I want you to tell me everything from the start, Anna. Is Zayn hiding something, or are you creatingsomething out of nothing?!” Gordon growled.

“I—” Anna was afraid to overdo anything when Aidan was right beside her. Fortunately for her, Justinspoke up at that very moment to save her. “Anna’s young, and she places a lot of value on herrelationships. Misunderstandings are bound to happen in relationships, right? It’s great that we’veclarified things. The Barnetts no longer have an issue with this matter either,” he said.

Then, Justin shifted his gaze to Anna. “You shouldn’t do this in the future, Anna. Both you and Zayn areadults. If you want to be with him for a long time, then you should learn to communicate your issues

and talk things out with him. You shouldn’t get both families involved—you’d just be causing morehavoc,” he said.

“I got it,” Anna uttered with her head hanging low.

Since Justin had made his statement, Gordon felt like it was no longer appropriate to continue losinghis temper. Instead, he let out a cold scoff before he hobbled up the stairs with the support of hiswalking stick. He was still filled with anger, but he couldn’t replace an outlet for it.

After Gordon left, Sienna followed along behind him. As she stood up, she gave Anna a stare andturned to look at Aidan before walking away. She looked as if she were considering something as sheheaded off. “Send me back to my room, Anna,” Justin ordered. Anna looked as if she had just won aprize after she heard what Justin said, and she hastily agreed to his orders before pushing hiswheelchair to the elevator.

However, Anna had just calmed her nerves when she bumped into Aidan while on the way to Justin’sroom.

“A-Aidan…” she muttered. He had his hands stuck into his pockets, and there wasn’t any warmth in hisgaze. “Follow me,” he ordered. Anna followed him to the park, and she bit her lip in hesitation beforeshe finally spoke up. “I didn’t talk bad about her, and I didn’t mention how she’s related to—”

Aidan interrupted her words. “When did you replace out that she’s pregnant?” he asked icily. Anna wastaken aback as she hadn’t expected him to ask her this question. She panicked for a moment—sheknew that she couldn’t mention the recent birthday party. Leanna fell into the water that day, so Aidanwill suspect that something’s fishy if he replaces out that I found out on the same day.

“Just two days ago, I heard Zayn saying—” Anna uttered at an unusually quick pace. “Did he tell youabout it himself?” Aidan asked with the same emotionless look on his face.

Anna bit her tongue before nodding excessively. “He said that Leanna’s pregnant with his child and thathe wouldn’t leave her even if he married me.”

Aidan stood as still as a statue. There wasn’t even a hint of emotion on his face, so Anna couldn’t tell ifhe trusted her words or not. “Aidan…” Anna muttered in a cautious tone. “The baby in her belly belongsto Zayn. Are you going to let her give birth to it?

He shot Anna a side glare before responding in an icy tone. “Whether or not she gives birth to the childis none of my business,” he uttered.

“W-Well, that’s true. I just thought you guys might remarry since you seem pretty nice to her recently,”she replied. He scoffed in response to this, but he then parted his long legs to leave without sayinganything else. He had only taken a few steps before he stopped and spoke in a dangerous tone. “Idon’t want anyone else in the Pearson Family to know about the details surrounding her pregnancy,” hewarned.

She froze for a moment as an icy sensation spread from her toes all the way up to her face. “I… I won’tsay a single thing.” She only felt herself coming back to life after Aidan was long gone—she was toostunned to move before that. She was just about to head back to her room when she saw Siennawalking down the corridor.

“D-Did you hear everything, Sienna?” Anna felt like her heart was about to leap out of her mouth.Sienna crossed her arms in front of her chest before speaking in a hostile voice. “Were you planning tokeep this a secret from me if I didn’t overhear your conversation?”

“No, but it was Aidan who told me not to say…” Anna protested. Sienna scoffed—she didn’t care aboutAidan’s opinion at all. “If you’re so afraid of him, then where did you replace the guts to push Leanna downthe stairs?”

“Sienna!” Anna let out a sharp cry. She was worried that Aidan would overhear them if he was stillnearby. “Don’t worry. I’ve already settled everything that happened in the past, so he’ll never replace outabout it,” Sienna replied.

Anna bit her bottom lip. She was pale from the fear that she felt. Back then, when Leanna had beenlying on the ground, there was a pool of blood that surged out of her lower area. Even though Anna hadinsisted that Leanna’s pregnancy was a lie back then, Anna questioned her own words after seeing allthat blood… Aidan will kill me if he ever replaces out about this!

Sienna continued talking before Anna could respond to her. “You should know that this child ofLeanna’s has to be disposed of, right, Anna?”

…

Achoo! Leanna rubbed her nose after sneezing. The weather had been gloomy and wet over the pasttwo days, and the temperature in the city had gone down. However, all the clothes that Leanna packedwere short-sleeved outfits for summer, and she would need time to purchase new clothes.

So, Naomi passed Leanna a few of her own clothes, “I used to wear all of these, but you can havethem if they match up to your standards.” Although the clothes had relatively old and traditionaldesigns, they didn’t seem too out-of-trend when Leanna wore them. It looked more like a retro-themedoutfit.

All of the clothes were clean and neatly folded—they looked like they had just been brought out ofstorage. “Thank you, Ms. Fletcher.” Leanna’s good looks enhanced the overall aesthetics of her outfitafter she put on Naomi’s skirt and knitted outerwear. She looked like a country girl—she looked simpleyet beautiful. “How does it look, Ms. Fletcher?” Leanna lifted her skirt to make a full turn in front ofNaomi.

A look of satisfaction flashed across Naomi’s face when she saw how the other girl looked.

“Not too bad,” Naomi uttered with a nod.

“I’ll head out now, then. Is there anything that you need, Ms. Fletcher? I’ll help you run errands if youneed me to.”

“You can get me some yarn,” Naomi replied.

“Sure. What color do you want?” Leanna nodded.

“It’s up to you,” Naomi replied.

Leanna happened to leave the house at the same time as Naomi’s other male tenant. When he sawLeanna leaving, he greeted her with a friendly tone. “Where are you going, Miss McKinney?”

“I’m going to walk around and buy some stuff,” she replied.

“Well, it’s quite a long walk from here to the city. Why don’t I drive you there?” he offered.

Leanna rejected him with a smile. “It’s fine. I can walk over myself.” He had no choice but to leave witha longing look in his eyes. The weather was nice and cool after the rain, and there were glimpses ofsunlight that were peeking through the gaps in the clouds. The golden rays spilled all over the citystreets, giving life to everything that they touched.

After Leanna went to purchase Naomi’s yarn, she went to the hospital for a checkup.
