Chapter 95

Chapter 95 Why Doesn’t President Pearson Like Me? Leanna had never dreamed such a situation would come about—for that Aidan to wash her hair for her.Not only was such a thing beneath someone of his status, but it was also just too bizarre to even thinkabout it. With things as they were now, she felt as though she was an inmate on death row waiting forthe guillotine to fall. With slight fear, she said, “President Pearson, how about I do this myself?” “Shut up,” Aidan replied frigidly. At the man’s words, Leanna grunted and said nothing further. With that, he poured the warm waterdown her hair which flowed down into the clusters of flowers around them. Although she couldn’t seeclearly right now, she assumed that such a scene would be a heartwarming one, on the premise thatthe man hadn’t an indifferent expression the entire time. Other than that, the two right now gave off theimpression that they were just two lovebirds, as everything was tranquil throughout the process.However, upon realizing she had such thoughts, she became startled and avoided Aidan. Nevertheless, Aidan held her shoulder with one of his hands and said in displeasure, “Why are youmoving about? Didn’t I ask you if the water was too hot for you?” Leanna couldn’t fathom just how compelling his words were, as she couldn’t help but be immersed inthat beautiful scene in her mind. “I got bitten by a mosquito,” she said after a moment’s silence.

“I see you’re not only attractive to men, but mosquitos as well.” Angry at what she had heard, she retorted, “If I’m that attractive to men, why doesn’t President Pearsonlike me?” Aidan remained silent. As a matter of fact, Leanna regretted the moment she said that. She knew that man was about to makesome sort of sarcastic remark at her after what she said. But, the lights in the yard suddenly came backon. With a few snapping sounds, all the electrical appliances and the streetlights came back on. Although the electricity was back on, the two continued to be in silence. Of all times to come back on,she thought. Blinded by the sudden bright lights, Leanna inadvertently met the man’s dark, tranquil

eyes, which she immediately averted from. Then, she wrapped her hair with a dry towel and said,“Thank you, President Pearson. I’ll head on upstairs now!”

After coming upstairs, Leanna immediately went to her room and locked the doors before finallyexhaling a breath. That was close, she thought, as she knew she wouldn’t be able to get some sleepout of anger again from listening to that man’s snide remarks. Then, she went back into the bathroomto blow dry her hair, though she did sneeze halfway through. At night, Leanna quietly gazed out the window while thinking back on the events today. She wasunsure if she was overthinking it, or was it Aidan who was just too erratic. Every now and then, therewould be a small voice inside her that said, Perhaps he likes me. There was no other explanation thatwould fit this strange situation, after all. As midnight came, with the reason for his actions remaining amystery, she yawned and fell asleep in a daze.

…Leanna was sleeping soundly when she heard a knock on the door. Gradually opening her eyes, shesat up and realized she was dizzy with her nose blocked uncomfortably. After taking a moment to wakeherself up, she got up and opened the door to replace Aidan leaning against the wall with an askanceexpression. “I didn’t expect for you to be so vindictive,” said Aidan. She was stunned for a split second before asking, “Huh?” “Since I said you ate a lot yesterday, you’ve chosen to not eat at all today.” Unable to understand what Aidan was saying, Leanna took a while and realized that the sun wasalready up when she looked out the window. Looking at how high the sun was, she guessed that it wasalready noon right now.

She said weakly, “I don’t have much of an appetite, actually. You can have my share.” With that, sheturned around and planned to go back to sleep. However, Aidan held her wrist and touched herforehead with his cool palm. He then pursed his lips. “Go to the hospital, now.” As usual, Leannacouldn’t stand hearing those words from Aidan and reflexively shook his hand off her. Stammering, she

said, “No need. I’ll be better after a good sleep.” With how fast her reaction was, it was clear for Aidanto see what Leanna was thinking. He then withdrew his hand and placed his hands in his pocketsbefore he said with an indifferent expression, “Leanna McKinney, please use your brain a little. If I wasgoing to take you to the hospital for an abortion, do you think you’ll be able to stay here so peacefullyfor close to a month now?” “Doesn’t matter how you put it. You still have such thoughts, in the end.Regardless, I’m not going.” Aidan sneered, “Your cold is serious. Before I could even take action, you’llbe—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Leanna hurriedly covered his mouth. Seemingly out of breath, shethen said, “President Pearson, I beg you. Please be a little virtuous.” She knew what he was about tosay, as he was the type of person who would say such hurtful words without any kind of gain on hispart. With his expression still one of mockery, he asked once more as his patience ran thin. “So, are yougoing?” “Alright, alright. I thank you in advance.”

However, Aidan was wordless for a moment before he said in displeasure, “Did I suggest to you that I’llbe the one bringing you there?” “Then, please move aside, President Pearson,” Leanna said. Beforeshe could take her third step out the door, she found herself being lifted by the man’s arms. As hergaze traveled upward, all she could see was the man’s cold and distinct jawline. “You’ll only waste mytime if you fall here.” Fine, just do whatever you want, she thought, as she no longer had the strength toargue with the man. After the doctor finished examining Leanna, the doctor told her that it was just acommon cold and that she would be fine after taking some medicine and having some rest. After that,the doctor looked at the indifferent man by the door. “As a husband, you’re far too irresponsible for yourwife to catch a cold in such weather.” Leanna immediately explained, “N-No… It’s not…”

“What do you mean? Let me tell you this, miss. It is during a woman’s pregnancy that they suffer themost in her entire life. Although you’ve passed the initial stage of pregnancy where you’re constantly

feeling nauseous, you’ll replace your body gradually changing when your belly gradually gets bigger. You’llfeel even worse when that time comes.” After that, the doctor turned her attention back to Aidan and chastised him. “It is a woman’smanifestation of her love for you to give birth to your child. As her husband, you should be caring forher much more than this.” Smiling, Aidan cast a glance at Leanna without leaking his true thoughts.

Leanna became shy and embarrassed at the man’s glance. With the blood rushing to her head, shestood up immediately with unexplained strength and said, “Thank you, doctor. I’ll keep what you said inmind. We’ll take our leave here.” She then rushed out of the consultation room. After Leanna took her medication from the counter, Aidan came from behind her and said indifferently,“Feeling rejuvenated, are we?” She kept quiet at the man’s remark. He continued, “Looks like you don’t need me to carry you anymore.” “President Pearson…” “Hmm?” “Can you please just shut up?” Leanna said before she took a deep breath. “You don’t need to takewhat that doctor said to heart. The reason why I want this child is one of my own. It has nothing to dowith you in the slightest.” “I know,” Aidan answered leisurely. Just as she heaved a sigh of relief, he continued, “It has nothing to do with me for you to give birth tomy child, and it has nothing to do with me when you secretly drew me as well.” Leanna was dumbstruck.
