Chapter 361
On the other end of the line, Freddie stayed silent for a few seconds before saying in confusion, "That
can't be. Right now, you should be—"
"I am her boyfriend. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Of course I do. Isn't appeasing your wife on the agenda tonight?"
Based on everything he had done tonight, Freddie felt that he looked like an idiot. He tried his best to
argue, saying, "Blame Oscar. He was the one who gave me this phone number!"
With that, he hung up at the fastest speed possible, then made another call to scream and shout at
Oscar.
Meanwhile, as Leanna listened to the engaged tone over the phone, she couldn't help but fling her
hand before she slid her phone in her pocket.
At the sight of them approaching, the driver, who was waiting at the side, hastily opened the door for
them.
Aidan leaned over and plopped her inside, then said to the driver, "To Castor Villa."
Leanna refused. "No!"
He turned around and stared at her with his dark eyes. "In that case, where do you want to go?"
She replied, "I'm simply not going there."
Aidan pursed his thin lips, then told the driver another address.
As the car cruised along the road, Leanna felt that her headache was worsening, and she even felt like
throwing up.
She threw herself at the window and retched, but nothing came out.
Aidan patted her back gently, his thin lips turning up. "Now, you know how bad it feels."
Leanna ignored him as she silently enjoyed the cool breeze. A long while later, she said, "It was even
worse when I had morning sickness last time."
"Are you actually drunk or not?"
"Don't you know that people can get half-drunk?"
After saying that, Leanna fell silent and allowed the wind to tousle her hair.
A while later, Aidan pulled her inside and rolled up the windows.

Soon, the black Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of a luxury apartment in the heart of the city.
She said, "Are you walking on your own, or should I carry you?"
"I can walk on my own."
With that, Leanna opened the car door and walked out with wobbly steps.
Meanwhile, the tip of Aidan's tongue pushed against his teeth as he followed behind her.
On a few occasions, she seemed like she was about to fall, but she regained her balance after that.
After walking a few minutes like that, she finally sensed that something was wrong as she turned
around and asked, "Where is this place?"
Aidan stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace, guiding her to the side.
There was only one unit on each floor of this building, so the elevator doors opened to reveal a
spacious entrance.
He grabbed a pair of slippers for Leanna from the shoe rack. "I only have my own stuff here, so just
wear this first. I'll get some clothes for you."
As he spoke, he loosened his tie as he walked into the bedroom.
Leanna felt a little sleepy, and even changing out of her shoes felt like a chore.
As such, she just sat down on the soft cushion by the shoe rack.
When Aidan came out with a change of clothes, Leanna was already fast asleep while leaning against
the wall.
He placed the clothes on the couch, then walked up to her. He got down on one knee, then grasped
her ankle as he took her shoes off.
He had just worn the flip-flops on her feet when she felt a little annoyed. The movement was disturbing
her sleep, so she extended her leg and kicked him.
Aidan glared at her, his dark eyes narrowing dangerously. "By the looks of it, I think I should help you
shower."
Leanna was silent.
In an instant, her eyes shot open. She carelessly stuck the men's slippers on her feet, then took a few
steps inside the house. She grabbed the clothes on the couch and held them close to her chest.
"Where's the bathroom?"

Aidan lifted his chin. "Over there."
She walked over to the bathroom. To prevent him from barging in, she even locked the door on
purpose.
As she stood under the hot water, she rubbed her face furiously, trying to sober up a little.
After Aidan listened to the movements in the bathroom, he opened the fridge and swept a glance at its
contents. His temples throbbed as he closed the fridge again. Then, he picked up his phone and dialed
a number.
When Leanna was done with her shower and had dried her hair, it was around an hour later when she
emerged from the bathroom.
She was wearing Aidan's large and loose clothes. Her small face was flushed—it was because of the
alcohol or due to the hot steam in the bathroom.
Aidan placed a hangover cure on the dining table. "Come here."
Leanna walked over to him, staring straight at the mug on the table. "It's not poisoned, is it?"
"I didn't make it."
"Oh, that sounds fine."
She picked it up and drank it straight away.
He was speechless. Then, he reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Is there anything you
want to eat?"
After downing the entire mug, Leanna slowly let out a burp. "No, I don't feel like eating."
"Go to sleep, then."
Leanna blinked, her moist eyes gazing at him. "I can't sleep."
Seeing that, Aidan discreetly licked his thin lips as he swallowed. His voice turned a little deeper as he
said, "What do you want to do since you can't sleep, hm?"
She didn't reply. Instead, she turned and looked all around her. "Do you live here often?"
He answered, "Sometimes. I haven't been here in a long while."
After thinking for a bit, Leanna said, "In those three years before, you'd live here if you didn't want to
see me, right?"
Back then, Aidan didn't want to return to Castor Villa, much less the Pearson Family Estate, so of
course he would be living somewhere else. Leanna knew that, but she never asked about it.
Hearing that, Aidan suddenly regretted bringing her here.

He said slowly, "Not really. It's not that I didn't want to see you; it's just that I had a lot of business trips
back then."
Leanna responded, "Oh."
She obviously didn't believe him.
Aidan rubbed his temples. He shouldn't have tried to talk logic with a drunk woman.
"It's getting late. You have work tomorrow, right? Go and sleep."
Leanna stood up. "Where am I sleeping?"
Aidan brought her to the door that led to the bedroom.
After entering, she shut the door without hesitation. "Thanks. Goodnight."
He was speechless.
She was truly exhausted from the day. Leanna flopped onto the bed and closed her eyes, but the more
she tried to sleep, the faster her mind worked, and she couldn't be more awake.
Some time later, there were sounds coming from the door as if someone was unlocking the door with a
key.
Right after that, steady and firm footsteps sounded.
Leanna had finally gotten drowsy and was beginning to fall asleep when she felt something biting her
lip. It hurt a little, and it was itching a bit.
Soon, that prickly sensation made its way down to her neck.
She was going to reach out and push him away when her hands were lifted above her head, bound by
something.
The man's low and hoarse voice rang out in her ear. "Be good, baby."
Every time this b*stard called her 'baby', it would only mean trouble.
Leanna said quietly, "Aidan."
"Hm?"
"Do you like me?"
He kissed between her eyebrows. "I do."
Leanna asked, "Why did you lie to me, then?"
Aidan's actions paused for an instant as he said in a low voice, "I didn't lie to you."
"Do you dare swear on it? If you've ever deceived me, our entire lives—"
Aidan kissed her on the lips deeply, swallowing all the words she didn't manage to speak.
Hah, you b*stard.
