Aidan raised his eyebrows. “Love needs to develop on its own. You cannot rush it.”
“Just who was impatient before?” Leanna shot him an unhappy look.
He smiled. Unable to deny her pointed question, he gently bit her ear. “Well, I am also quite impatient
now.”
She stared at him, speechless.
His hands wandered into her clothes as he languidly said, “You don’t need to worry so much. Their
relationship might be progressing better than you imagined.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Play along and I’ll sell you a piece of exclusive news.”
A moan escaped her lips. She tried to pull his hands away, but it was useless. “What exclusive news?”
“Have you ever wondered why Zoe’s ex-boyfriend never showed his face again?”
She had not wondered about that before. However, now that he mentioned it, she could not help but
freeze. “Daniel did it, didn’t he?”
He must have.
When Zoe told Leanna of Anthony barging into her home, she said he only left after Daniel beat him
up.
Leanna had thought that it was the end of the incident.
She did not expect to hear that there was more to the story.
“Why else? Did anyone think he would’ve seen the light and amended his ways?”
“In that case, Daniel really…”
“Alright,” he interrupted. “You have your piece of news. It is time for the payment.”
His response rendered her speechless once more.
“I have to wake up early tomorrow,” she whispered. Her mind was still reeling from the revelation.
“Work with me, and we will end early,” he murmured back.
“H-How?”
“Did you forget what you owe me?”
In the end, she was forced to call out “honey” over and over again to end it early.
After she fell asleep, he glanced at the phone to see a call he had missed half an hour ago. He walked
out to the balcony before dialing back.
“President Pearson,” greeted Jonathan.
With a lit cigarette between his lips, Aidan calmly replied, “Speak.”
“The investigation is done. Celia’s boyfriend is an employee at Crossley Group. He is the man who has
been approaching Madam over the past few days.”
Aidan’s eyes darkened as he coldly barked out, “When did he show up by Celia’s side?”
“A long while ago,” answered Jonathan. “As our men followed him, we found no abnormal behavior
other than meeting up with Celia. He has two kids as well; an eight-year-old and a two-year-old.”
Aidan flicked his cigarette. “What a coincidence.”
“Are you saying he’s deliberately getting close to Celia, sir? He people know about the young master.
No one else can know about him.”
“Keep an eye on him for now.”
“Should we tell Celia?”
“No. Let us not alert him.”
“Yes, sir.”
Aidan hummed in acknowledgment before hanging up. Once his cigarette was on his phone and called
him.
…
The next day, Leanna woke up before her alarm went off.
She looked at the bright sky outside as she stretched.
Just as she was about to get out of bed, an arm wrapped around her waist. “It’s still early,” said Aidan.
His voice was hoarse and tinged with exhaustion. “Sleep for a while longer.”
Hearing that, she turned to pick up her phone from the headboard. There were twenty minutes left
before her alarm was supposed to go off.
“It is about time,” she replied. “I have to get up. Go back to sleep.”
She then pulled up the blanket to cover his head and patted his head through it.
For a moment, he was silent and still, as if he had fallen asleep.
However, before she could stand up, her wrist was grabbed.
The next thing she knew, she was lying in bed.
He loomed over her as his deep, dark eyes bore into her.
She had never seen that look in his eyes before, so it took her a moment before she could speak.
“What is it?”
His finger gently rubbed across her wrist as he rasped, “Nothing much. I just remembered something.”
On that morning years ago, she did the same thing too.
She covered his head with the blanket so that his eyes were shielded from the blinding sunlight. Then,
she gently patted him as if she were coaxing a child to go back to sleep.
Her voice was so gentle, so soft, and so very cautious.
In that instant, all of his anger vanished.
Later on, he thought about how he could have made her disappear back when she came knocking on
his door as a pregnant woman.
He did not do that, though.
Instead, he allowed the Pearsons to seize the chance to force them to marry.
While he said he hated Leanna, he was not against the idea of marrying her.
No one in the whole world could force him to do anything.
At most, he would drag them all down to hell with him.
She was likely reminded of that too as she watched the sun splay across his face. She blinked, then
hooked her arms around his neck and leaned up to kiss him on the lips. “Aidan Pearson.”
“Hm?”
“Did you fall in love with me a long time ago?”
He smiled and slowly answered, “Yes.”
She had not expected him to be so honest. Stunned, she stared at him for a moment before smiling.
“Am I your first love?”
He unhappily frowned upon hearing that. “Are you sure you want to ask me that?”
She cleared her throat and stopped fooling around. “It is getting late. I have to get ready.”
She then hurriedly squirreled out of his embrace and ran into the bathroom.
Although nothing had happened between her and Zayn, and that happened a long time ago, it did not
stop Aidan from being jealous of that for the rest of his life.
He watched her panicked figure escape from his sight before licking his lips and getting out of bed.
Her alarm only went off after she washed up. Then, she sat down before her dressing table and began
to put on her makeup.
Aidan leaned against the wall beside her with a hand in his pants pocket. “You didn’t put in this much
effort when you went on a date with me.”
“How is that the same?”
“Am I not as important as them?”
She stared at him, speechless.
Was he a jealous incarnation? He was always so jealous.
She reached out to give him a push. “Stop standing there. You are blocking the sunlight.”
Aidan pulled his hand out of his pocket and looked at the time. “How long do you have?”
“A few more minutes. You…” At that, Leanna then turned to look at him. “You do not need to drive me. I
can go by myself.”
“I have nothing to do in the morning,” he replied. “Anyway, everyone knows you will be in the Crossley
Group office today. They will be watching. No matter what promises they made, Jimmy will surely
threaten you one more time before you step foot into the office. If I go with you, he will not dare do
anything.”
Before she could reply, he continued, “It is called risk avoidance.”
Leanna was rendered speechless by his logic. It was evident she was not as eloquent as he was.
Aidan ruffled her hair. “I’ll wait for you downstairs. Once you are done, we can leave.”
