I Don’t Trust You
When Leanna returned home, it was almost 12.00AM, and the little guy was already asleep.
“I didn’t expect you to be home so late on the first day,” said Maya as she yawned tiredly.
“I have something urgent today. It won’t happen again,” replied Leanna.
“I know. Richard called me and told me that you guys had to deal with something. I’m just saying.”
Then, she took her stuff. I’ll be leaving then. See you tomorrow.”
After Maya left, Leanna entered the room. As she looked at the child, who was sleeping peacefully, she
could feel her bad mood lighten up.
At this moment, Zoe came out of her room. “You’re back, Leanna.”
Leanna nodded in response. “I thought you were asleep.”
“I just got home and took a bath.” As Zoe spoke, she sat on the couch. “You know, Maya sure has a
way of dealing with children. After you had left this morning, he kept crying. Maya cooed at him for
hours and wasn’t even the slightest annoyed.”
Leanna was startled. She subconsciously looked at the child. “He cried?”
In that split second, Zoe realized she had said the wrong words. Then, she chuckled dryly and said, “I
don’t think that counts as crying. Maybe he’s just not used to you leaving. After a while, he stopped.”
Leanna didn’t say anything. After some time, she asked, “Is Daniel not back yet?”
“He called me half an hour ago and said he would return by tomorrow morning. It’s better if he doesn’t
come, though. That way, I can be at peace,” replied Zoe as she leaned against the couch.
“Are you sure?” Leanna chuckled.
“Of course. He has been watching me closely, and I feel under pressure. I feel like a prisoner when he
is around.”
“What’s going on between you guys now?” asked Leanna as she sat beside Zoe. Since things had
been chaotic for the past few days, she didn’t have time to understand the relationship between Zoe
and Daniel.
Zoe sighed and said, “He told me to keep the baby and would take care of me. That… That’s just it.
Let’s see what will happen in the future. Maybe I will be like you, you know? Raising the kid myself and
not needing his help.” When she was at the hospital, she thought it through and knew she couldn’t bear
to get rid of the baby. Now that she saw the little guy crawling around the house, she was excited to
meet her unborn baby. She knew Daniel was a celibatarian, so she had never expected him to do
anything. However, it was he who let her make up her mind.
“Have you made up your mind?” asked Leanna.
“Yeah.” Zoe nodded. “It’s common nowadays to raise a child as a single parent. It’s better to live on
your own rather than be bound by someone you don’t love just because of a child. If my child wants to
see Daniel, they can stay with him for some time. I don’t mind.” After Zoe finished her words, she stood
up. “Alright, now. It’s getting late. I’m going to sleep. Get some rest soon, Leanna.”
“Okay. Goodnight, Zoe.”
After Zoe had left, Leanna sat on the couch for some time before standing up and heading to the
bathroom. At that moment, the doorbell rang. Initially, she thought that Zoe had forgotten something.
However, when she opened the door, she saw it was Aidan. In that split second, she blocked the door
and stopped him from entering. “The child is asleep. If you want to see him, you can come by
tomorrow.”
Aidan had one hand in his pocket as he spoke. “I know. I’m not here for him. I’m here for…” Before he
could finish his words, Leanna was about to close the door. However, Aidan put his hand on the door
and frowned. “I wasn’t done talking yet,” he said.
Then, Leanna stood by the door. She knew that he wasn’t going to say anything appropriate.
Looking at her, Aidan ran his hand through his wet hair and said slowly, “Can you lend me a hairdryer?”
“I don’t have one.”
“I don’t believe you unless I search for it for myself,” demanded Aidan.
However, Leanna didn’t budge. “You have two houses yet don’t have a single hairdryer?”
“Too bad. They are broken.” Aidan shrugged.
“Well then. You are an unlucky man.”
Aidan didn’t know how to respond. “Shouldn’t neighbors help each other out? Why won’t you lend me
such a small thing?” he asked.
“Because I am a selfish person. I’m afraid you won’t return it to me, and I am shy to ask for it back.
Thus, it’s better if I don’t lend it to you in the first place.”
“I’ll return it to you.” Aidan was irritated.
“I don’t know about it, though. I don’t trust you.” Leanna was calm.
“How will I be able to sleep then?” Aidan sighed.
“It’s windy outside. Your hair will dry if you stay outside long enough.” Then, she slammed the door
shut.
Aidan pursed his lips into a thin line when she shut him outside. Then, he went back to his house and
took out a hairdryer. As soon as he turned it on, an idea flashed across his mind. Then, he took a
screwdriver to loosen the screw and damaged the electrical circuit. After that, he took another cold
shower.
…
The next afternoon, Leanna got a call from Jonathan. “Miss McKinney, do you know where President
Pearson is? He still hasn’t arrived at the company, and I can’t get in touch with him.”
“How should I know about that?” replied Leanna.
“President Pearson had never gone missing without saying anything. I-I’m afraid that something might
have happened to him.”
“If you are so worried about him, you can go to his house and take a look,” Leanna said faintly.
“I have a meeting in ten minutes. Since he isn’t here, I have to take his place. Thus, I can’t leave now.”
Leanna hummed in response.
Jonathan cleared his throat and said sadly, “President Pearson had to leave the hospital before he fully
recovered. Plus, many things have happened these days. I wonder if he will be able to withstand the
high intensity. Who knows, maybe he fainted somewhere—”
“Don’t you have to prepare for your meeting that is due in ten minutes?” Leanna cut him off.
“Yes. Goodbye, Miss McKinney.”
After Leanna hung up the phone, she put it aside and looked at the design in front of her. However, she
didn’t draw a single thing on it. After some time, she sighed and grabbed her things.
At this moment, her assistant came in to give her some documents. “Are you leaving, Miss McKinney?”
Leanna nodded in response. “I’ll look at these after I’m back. Call me if anything happens.”
“Okay.”
After she had left the company, she went straight to Aidan’s house. Standing before the door, she
pressed the doorbell, but no one answered. Then, she looked at the combination lock. After hesitating
momentarily, she tried the password from the old apartment. Two seconds later, the door was
unlocked.
The passcode was the day of their wedding anniversary.
Leanna entered the house and saw that the curtains were closed. It was dead quiet. “Aidan?” she
called out softly.
However, the only thing that responded was silence.
She opened the window and knocked on his bedroom door. When she heard sounds coming from
inside, she opened the door and saw Aidan lying on the bed. Cold sweats covered his forehead as he
furrowed his eyebrows with his eyes closed.
