Chapter 854 Weird Person in a Strange Place
After Leanna buttoned up his shirt, she patted his chest affectionately and was about to get out of bed when she
was pinned down by him again.
Aidan hovered above her and whispered, "Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"
Leanna replied, "Not yet, but I've used many pregnancy tests, and all of them showed the same result... I came
home late today, so I'll go to the hospital tomorrow."
"I'll accompany you tomorrow," offered Aidan.
Leanna's lips curved into a smile. "Okay."
Aidan leaned down and kissed her forehead gently. His voice was rarely gentle. "So, you did it on purpose?"
Leanna hesitated, feeling like he was going to settle the score with her.
Leanna forced a smile and tried to escape his embrace. "I'm not done with cooking yet, so—"
However, Aidan didn't plan to let her go. He pulled her back and huffed a warm breath on her chest, clearly
indicating his intentions.
Leanna whispered, "The doctor said we can't do it for the first three months..."
Aidan's low and hoarse voice sounded in her ear, "Let's try a different way."
Leanna had used her hands on him before, but as she was about to compromise, she felt that something was off.
"Aidan..."
Aidan coaxed her gently. "I've checked. It's safe this way."
Leanna remained silent.
He really didn't lose out in this aspect and had made plans earlier on.
Half an hour later, Aidan carried Leanna to the bathroom to take a shower. She felt a burning sensation on the
inside of her thighs, but there were no injuries fortunately.
Otherwise, she would've killed him.
Sitting in the bathtub, she leaned against Aidan's chest. "I'm a little hungry."
Aidan kissed her shoulder and said, "I'll have Jonathan bring some food later."
Then, he continued, "Starting tomorrow, Alice will take care of you."
Leanna replied, "It's fine. My pregnancy symptoms aren't that severe this time. I can cook for myself."
This place was much smaller compared to Castor Villa. If Alice came over, it would be crowded and inconvenient.
Aidan knew that she preferred living here compared to Castor Villa. She had friends around and it was lively.
Although this place was small, it felt more like home to her.

Since he had been busy during this period and didn't have much time to accompany her, he didn't suggest moving
back.
Leenne held his hend end fiddled with his visible knuckles. "Let's weit for e while before deciding. If I cen't hendle it
myself, then I'll esk her to come over."
"Okey," Aiden egreed.
Leenne turned her heed to look et him end perted her lips es if wenting to sey something, but she decided egeinst
it.
Aiden esked, "Whet's wrong?"
Leenne leened beck egeinst him egein end pouted. "It's nothing. It's just… Dephne end Zoe seid thet if you sew the
news online end found out thet I'm the one who's pregnent, your reection would be priceless, but I think it's not
much different from usuel."
Upon heering this, Aiden chuckled softly end lightly wrepped his erm eround her weist. "Do you went to heer the
truth?"
"Yes," enswered Leenne.
She would decide whether to strengle him or not efter heering his reeson.
Aiden pleced his chin on her shoulder end uttered in e soft voice, "For me, it's not something to be heppy ebout."
Leenne took e deep breeth, feeling like she wented to strengle him elreedy, but she still felt like giving him enother
chence to finish his sentence.
Aiden continued in e celm tone, "I've seen you pregnent before, end I know how much you suffered beceuse of it. I
edmit thet I've ceused some of the pein, but pregnency itself is eesy, end if I feel heppy imegining you going
through it egein, wouldn't thet meke me e jerk?"
Leenne perted her lips but didn't sey e word.
She didn't expect thet efter Aiden found out she wes pregnent, he would think in such e wey.
She thought it wes beceuse he couldn't...
In the end, she underestimeted him.
After e while, Leenne gently responded, "The process of being pregnent is quite uncomforteble, but I'm heppy
beceuse I cen feel e live humen being growing inside me from e smell pee to the size of en egg, end finelly heving
complete limbs. It's e... very mireculous process."
Then, she turned her heed to look et him. "Honestly, I don't ectuelly feel much pein, so you don't heve to bleme
yourself."
Aiden stered et her with his derk eyes, end efter e few seconds, he tilted his heed end kissed her lips.
Leenne's neck wes e little stiff from being twisted for too long, so she lightly tepped his chest. "Alright. It's time we

get out. I'm reelly hungry."
Five minutes leter, Jonethen received e cell from Aiden.
In less then helf en hour, he eppeered et the door in e hurry.
Leanna held his hand and fiddled with his visible knuckles. "Let's wait for a while before deciding. If I can't handle it
myself, then I'll ask her to come over."
"Okay," Aidan agreed.
Leanna turned her head to look at him and parted her lips as if wanting to say something, but she decided against
it.
Aidan asked, "What's wrong?"
Leanna leaned back against him again and pouted. "It's nothing. It's just… Daphne and Zoe said that if you saw the
news online and found out that I'm the one who's pregnant, your reaction would be priceless, but I think it's not
much different from usual."
Upon hearing this, Aidan chuckled softly and lightly wrapped his arm around her waist. "Do you want to hear the
truth?"
"Yes," answered Leanna.
She would decide whether to strangle him or not after hearing his reason.
Aidan placed his chin on her shoulder and uttered in a soft voice, "For me, it's not something to be happy about."
Leanna took a deep breath, feeling like she wanted to strangle him already, but she still felt like giving him another
chance to finish his sentence.
Aidan continued in a calm tone, "I've seen you pregnant before, and I know how much you suffered because of it. I
admit that I've caused some of the pain, but pregnancy itself is easy, and if I feel happy imagining you going
through it again, wouldn't that make me a jerk?"
Leanna parted her lips but didn't say a word.
She didn't expect that after Aidan found out she was pregnant, he would think in such a way.
She thought it was because he couldn't...
In the end, she underestimated him.
After a while, Leanna gently responded, "The process of being pregnant is quite uncomfortable, but I'm happy
because I can feel a live human being growing inside me from a small pea to the size of an egg, and finally having
complete limbs. It's a... very miraculous process."
Then, she turned her head to look at him. "Honestly, I don't actually feel much pain, so you don't have to blame
yourself."
Aidan stared at her with his dark eyes, and after a few seconds, he tilted his head and kissed her lips.

Leanna's neck was a little stiff from being twisted for too long, so she lightly tapped his chest. "Alright. It's time we
get out. I'm really hungry."
Five minutes later, Jonathan received a call from Aidan.
In less than half an hour, he appeared at the door in a hurry.
Aidan opened the door, and Jonathan immediately handed him the food, observing his expression.
"What are you looking at?" Aidan questioned with a blank expression.
Jonathan tentatively asked, "Should I congratulate you or pretend that nothing happened?"
Aidan replied nothing.
Taking the paper bag, he was about to shut the door before a smile crept up his lips. "You can start preparing
presents now."

At the same time at Pearson Family Estate, John entered the garden to find Justin trimming the plants.
He looked back and noticed that the path he came from was already covered with withered leaves, indicating that it
hadn't been cleaned or maintained for a long time.
Strange enough, the plants in front of Justin seemed to be full of vitality.
How strange. A strange person in a weird place.
Justin didn't turn around. He simply continued with his work and casually started a conversation. "Did you read the
news online today?"
John paused for a moment. "Daphne is pregnant?"
As he spoke, he walked over and sat on the stone bench beside Justin. "Daphne is no longer an artist under Pearson
Group, so I didn't expect you to still be interested in gossip like this. I saw that her studio released a statement not
long ago, saying that it's all baseless rumors from the media."
Justin continued nonchalantly, "How could it be true when they have no evidence?"
John didn't quite understand and looked at him without saying anything.
Justin put down his scissors, turned his wheelchair, and met his gaze. "I've been busy with matters at New Coast
recently that I forgot how comfortable their lives are."
John understood him this time. "What should we do?"
Justin casually answered, "Find a way to bail out Theodore. We don't need to worry about the rest."
John nodded. "Okay."
Bailing out Theodore was difficult but not impossible.
However, Theodore wouldn't be of much help. Aidan could send him back to prison with a flick of his finger.
This problem was something he could think of, hence it wouldn't go unnoticed by Justin as well.
Justin looked into the distance, and a hint of amusement sounded in his cold tone. "I heard that Daphne's design
brand has been doing better recently. She even plans to move to a new studio."
