I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Don’t You Have Anything Better to Do? When Leanna returned home, she stood in front of Aidan’s room for a few minutes, wanting to check if he was in. In the end, she still did not knock on the door and just returned to her own room. Just as she was about to wash up, she received a call from Zoe. Zoe asked, “Nana, are you home already?” “Yeah, I just reached home.”

Zoe sounded excited. “I just heard something, and I just had to tell you! You have no idea how great I feel right now!” Then, she recounted the incident at Pantheon Club, from how Jeanette was trying to get something going with a rich man and bumped into Anthony, then finally to how Anthony denied their relationship and called Jeanette shameless. “Thanks to that ex-classmate, everyone knows what kind of person Anthony truly is now. Oh right! I heard that he went there to discuss a collaboration or something. With such a commotion, I’m sure the collaboration isn’t going to happen, so it’s only a matter of time before he gets fired.” “This shameless couple was just flaunting their relationship in front of me this evening, but karma hit them right after! Everyone who knows what went down would think they deserve what they got.”

As Zoe felt that vengeance had been had, she was in high spirits and blabbered at full speed. Suddenly, she said, “Nana, I heard that the low… your man, President Pearson, was there too.” Leanna didn’t know what to say in response to that statement. However, she corrected Zoe sternly, “He’s not my man.” “The both of you are staying together now, and he’s the father of your child, so why not? Nana, do you think it’s possible that he planned all of this?” Leanna replied, “I don’t think so since he seems busy these days. He usually comes home past midnight, so where would he get the time to do such things? Plus, there is no reason for him to do so

too.” Zoe couldn’t help but refute that. “Why not? That nasty couple is too good at sprouting nonsense and bad-mouthing others! President Pearson might’ve been angry for your sake after finding out what happened. It’s so cool of him to ruin their reputations and make everyone look down on them.” Leanna was utterly speechless by Zoe’s imagination. She wondered if she had missed anything. Zoe continued without pause, “What a good time to be alive. There are so many people texting me to ask about that shameless couple. Nana, talk to you later. Oh, right, thank President Pearson for me!”

Before Leanna could speak, Zoe hung up the phone. Her excitement and vindictiveness made Leanna feel rather helpless as she could barely get in a word edgewise. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

… So, she slightly shook her head as she placed her phone away, then took her clothes and went into the bathroom. After her shower, Leanna dried her hair while Zoe’s words rang in her ears. Aidan knew about the incident and even called her to reprimand her for it. However, the most he would have done was to get Anthony to shut up so the Pearson family would not find out about her pregnancy. No matter how she thought about it, she found it impossible that he would do so much just to get back at Anthony for the things he said to her. Once she was finished blow-drying her hair, she went downstairs to get herself a glass of warm milk. When she descended the stairs, she noticed that the lights in the living room were turned on. Aidan was there, sitting on the couch with his eyes closed. It appeared that he had fallen asleep. Hesitantly, Leanna walked over and said in a soft voice, “President Pearson?” He opened his eyes slowly and glanced at her. “What is it?” After she thought for a moment, she said, “I’m going to get some warm milk. Would you like a glass?” “No.”

“Okay.” From Aidan’s expression, Leanna felt that he did not want to talk to her. Therefore, she would not waste her time talking to him when he gave her the cold shoulder, so she just turned around and headed to the kitchen. As she opened the refrigerator, she turned to look at him, who was still sitting on the sofa. The moment she noticed that he was not planning to head back to his room soon, she pursed her lips and heated a glass of milk for him too. This j*rk changes his mind all the time. I better be prepared. Ten minutes later, Aidan looked at the glass of milk before him. He frowned and asked, “Didn’t I say that I don’t want it?” Leanna blinked innocently. “Oh really? Why did I hear the opposite?”

Her words made him speechless. He looked up at her and squeezed his lips into a thin line, but he still took the glass from her and said, “Why are you currying favor with me? What is it this time?” As she sat opposite him, she spoke earnestly, “President Pearson, I’d like to apologize to you about today’s incident. I know that it caused you a lot of trouble.” Aidan clicked his tongue. “It’s good that you know.” After she took a sip of milk, she asked, “President Pearson, were you working in the office until just now?” “What else would I be doing?’ “It’s nothing. It’s just a random question.” He finished the drink, placed the glass on the table, and then stood up to head upstairs. As Leanna looked at his retreating figure, she suddenly blurted, “Um, President Pearson…” Expressionlessly, he turned around and looked at her. “What is it now?” “President Pearson, you know Anthony, right? My friend’s ex-boyfriend. The one that cheated on her.” “Should I remember him?”

“No, you don’t… It’s just that I heard he was exposed for cheating tonight at Pantheon Club, and it ruined his reputation. I figured that he would lose his job after this.” Aidan’s expression remained unchanged. “What does that have anything to do with me? Are you planning to get him a new job?”

Leanna was so exasperated by this man that she couldn’t speak for a moment. Why is it so difficult to talk to him? Ugh! She stopped beating around the bush and said, “That’s not it. I also heard that you were at the place tonight, so I wanted to ask if you witnessed anything…” He interrupted her coldly. “No.” “Were you not there, or did you not see?” He probably did not expect her to ask such a question and only answered her after pursing his lips. “Don’t you have anything better to do? Why do you care so much?” Leanna motioned an okay and kept quiet. After Aidan went upstairs, she slowly finished her glass of milk. Actually, she got nothing out of him earlier. Nevertheless, she could guess that he was most probably the one behind what happened to Anthony. Otherwise, he would have called her whimsical upon hearing her questions. But this time, not only did he not do that but instead avoided her question. The answer was already pretty obvious.

It was just that Leanna did not understand why he did those things. It was impossible that he did it to avenge her. Personally, she didn’t care about the things Anthony and Jeanette said as they were both sprouting nonsensical words. The only person who could frustrate her was always Aidan. But then again, he was not someone with that much time on his hands. So, would he really waste a night of his time just because those two people insulted her? Why would he? She did not deserve it.

After she returned to her room, she patted her face to shake those thoughts away, woke herself up, and took out her draft to work on the final design. A moment later, someone knocked at her door.

She looked up, let out a breath, and then went to open her bedroom door. “President Pearson, do you need something?” Aidan looked at her before slowly saying, “About what you mentioned earlier, I think I have a vague impression about it.”
