Maybe it was Aidan’s unrelenting pressure that pushed Leanna toward Elijah.
Thus, he had to change his game plan.
Oscar snickered. “Then… good luck.”
Aidan glanced at him in displeasure. “Is that how you look like when you’re wishing someone good
luck?”
Oscar wanted to roll his eyes.
“I think your new method doesn’t work either, Aidan. And it boils down to you not knowing how a
woman thinks.”
“But I know what Leanna is thinking,” Aidan replied.
Well, he does have a point, Oscar thought.
…
Leanna came out of the stall and got some tissues to wipe her hand. She was just about to leave the
washroom when someone brushed past her.
Then, she heard a woman’s voice calling out behind her, “Leanna McKinney?”
She stopped in her track and turned around.
Maya was startled at first, but she soon crossed her arms and eyed Leanna imperiously. “What are you
doing here? Did you come with Elijah Parker?”
“No.”
“How odd then. This is an expensive place. Don’t tell me you’re here with friends.”
Maya’s derisive tone made it clear that she turned her nose up at Leanna.
“It has nothing to do with you,” Leanna responded calmly.
Maya didn’t expect her to respond like that. Her expression shifted, and she scoffed, “I was just
reminding you out of the kindness of my heart. Perhaps you didn’t know, but the alcohol here starts at
four figures. I’m worried that all your hard-earned money would be wasted in one night. After all, people
in the service industry like you have a hard time making money.”
“So, after saying all that, what you mean is you’ll treat me to a drink tonight?”
Maya gulped. She couldn’t think of anything to say in response.
Her husband had a gathering with his friends here tonight. She had to plead with him for ages before
he relented and allowed her to come along with him.
She had barely squeezed her way into this place, so she was in no position to buy a drink for Leanna.
Leanna noticed her reaction and chuckled. “Just focus on yourself. Don’t butt your nose into other
people’s business.”
She was about to leave when Maya spoke up again. “Leanna, you’re a divorcee, right? One of my
husband’s colleagues got a divorce too. I think you two would make a good match. Why don’t I
introduce you to him?”
Before Leanna could respond, Maya continued, “People should learn to move on in life. You didn’t
meet someone good. That’s why your marriage failed. I looked into the guy for you this time. Although
he has two kids, he’s a decent and honest man. Most importantly, he dotes on his wife a lot, and his
salary’s not too shabby either. Once you get together with him, you’ll just need to stay home and look
after the kids. Doesn’t he sound great? I wouldn’t introduce him to just anyone, you know.”
“Since he’s so great, you can have him.”
“Why, you—”
Leanna didn’t bother to stick around for her. She threw the tissue in the trash can and left.
Maya stomped her feet in fury.
She saw no reason for a divorcee to still strut about so arrogantly. Does she still think she’s the star of
the school that everyone looked up to back then?
When Leanna returned to the room, she noticed that everyone else had left. Aidan was sitting alone on
the couch, drinking his alcohol.
It looked like he had drunk quite a lot by now.
“Is it over, President Pearson?” she asked.
He looked up at her. “Why don’t you just come back tomorrow instead?”
She pressed her lips together and retrieved her purse. “Since it’s over, I’ll take my leave then.”
“Come here.”
She didn’t move. “Did you still need something, President Pearson?”
“Sit down,” he stated plainly.
After a pause, Leanna sat down three feet away from him.
Aidan shoved a glass toward her. “Try this.”
“No thanks. I’m not drinking any alcohol,” she said.
“It’s sweet, and it has a low percentage of alcohol content.”
She looked at him warily—she didn’t trust him very much.
“If I wanted to do something to you, would I need to come up with an excuse?” Aidan asked.
B*stard.
Though, he did have a point.
The b*stard was pretty cold to her today. Maybe it was just as he said. His patience ran out.
Leanna picked up the glass and took a sip. She licked her lips after. It was quite sweet.
And then, she finished the whole glass.
However, as soon as she set it down, Aidan pushed another one over.
She was less inclined to cooperate this time.
Isn’t he pushing it a bit?
“As I said, if you have something to ask of someone else, you should act like it. To prevent you from
turning around and lashing out at me in the future, and to prevent you from owing me another favor,
let’s settle things now,” he stated coolly.
Leanna took a deep breath. Fine.
She downed several more glasses in a row and felt like she needed to use the washroom again.
However, she didn’t expect the room to start spinning as soon as she tried to stand.
Her head was heavy. She felt dizzy and sank back down onto the couch. Her pretty eyes flickered as
she stared blankly in front of her.
Aidan rested his hand against the table and propped his head up to stare at her. It was as if he had
been waiting for this to happen.
His eyebrows quirked up, and he called out softly, “Leanna.”
She turned toward him with a clueless expression.
“Do you still remember who I am?” he asked calmly.
Leanna paused a bit before answering, “I’m drunk, not daft.”
“Is that so?”
She took her purse and tried to stand again, but she couldn’t move at all.
Just as she finally managed to stand up with the help of the table, someone grabbed her wrist, and with
a slight pull, she crashed right back down.
This time, she didn’t fall onto the couch. Instead, she fell into his lap.
She tried to shove him away, but her body was limp, and it looked like she was just being coy instead.
Aidan placed his hands on her waist. It was a piece of cake for him to stop her from moving about.
“Leanna, I’m going to ask you one more time. Who am I?”
She stared at the hateful face in front of her. As her thoughts grew hazy, she acted on instinct. She
smacked him in the face and sniffled aggrievedly. “The b*stard!”
Aidan didn’t expect that.
He took her hand down and held it tight. “Take a closer look. I’m your husband.”
“You’re not. I’m divorced.”
“No. You’ve got it wrong.”
Leanna looked even more confused after hearing that.
Not divorced? How’s that possible?
She clearly remembered that she had gotten one.
Aidan continued, “It’s our first anniversary today. You were so happy that you ended up drinking too
much.”
He sounded certain, and her head was spinning, so she ended up caught in his web of lies.
“Leanna, it’s our wedding anniversary today. Don’t you have a gift for me?”
“Oh…” She looked around and felt her pockets before lowering her head. “I’m sorry. I forgot.”
“A word of apology isn’t sincere enough,” he said.
She looked up at him and hesitated for a moment. When she was sure that he didn’t look repulsed by
her, she gave him a tentative peck on the lips. “How about this?”
