That Doesn’t Apply to Him
Leanna looked in the direction of the 24-hour convenience store and commented, “I’m going to get a
bottle of water. Do you want anything?”
“Nope. I’ll wait for you outside.”
“Okay. I’ll be back quickly!”
After that, she jogged to the convenience store.
When she came out of the store after making her purchase, Aidan was standing beside the road while
staring into space. From the back, he looked cold and aloof.
Leanna watched him for a little longer before walking up to him.
Sensing her drawing near, Aidan withdrew his thoughts. “Let’s go.”
“Are you tired?” Leanna inquired.
Then, she continued before he could reply, “If you don’t mind, can we stroll around the area? I wanna
take a walk after the meal.”
Aidan hummed and strode forward in a leisurely manner.
Leanna walked up to him. “You mentioned previously that you’re free to go on a vacation after two
weeks, right?”
“Yeah.”
“I thought about it and I think I’d be able to find time to do that. Where do you want to go?”
Aidan’s lips curled upward. “Anywhere is fine. I’ll go along with your plans.”
“I’ll pick anywhere then? Don’t complain when the time comes.”
“When have I ever complained about you?”
Somehow, that statement felt a little weird to Leanna.
A hint of joy was present in Aidan’s dark orbs. Holding her hand, he explained, “I’ll go wherever you
want to go.”
“Hmm… When will your work be settled?”
“In a week, probably.”
“Okay.” Leanna nodded lightly.
Only a few cars were seen on the road as it was midnight, so the two held hands and walked under the
streetlights, their shadows gradually elongated.
After a while, Leanna suddenly stopped in her tracks. “Aidan.”
“Hmm?”
“Let’s register our marriage tomorrow.”
Aidan paused slightly and stayed mounted to the ground, suddenly unable to respond.
“It won’t take too long for the marriage registration. Just come when you have time.”
Aidan turned to look at her with obsidian orbs. “What makes you want to register our marriage now?”
Leanna looked sideways and pulled her hand out from his grasp before moving forward. “Well, I heard
someone calling me your wife today, but we’re not legally married yet, so I figured that I can’t be taken
advantage of like that. If you don’t want to, then forget it.”
Aidan hurriedly caught up to her and explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s not the right time
yet. Can we do it later?”
“Later? When? A month later? Three months later? Or a year later?” Leanna turned sideways to look at
him. “Tell me. Why can’t we do it now?”
Aidan went silent.
“Be honest. Are you hiding something from me?” Leanna questioned in a serious tone.
After a few seconds, Aidan replied, “I’m not trying to hide anything from you. I just want to tell you about
it after everything is settled.”
It was Leanna’s turn to go silent this time. Without prodding him any further, she decided, “Okay, then.
But remember, you were the one who rejected me this time. We’ll register our marriage only when I’m
in the mood to next time.”
Aidan was evidently confused.
“A month? Three months? Or a year later?” he asked.
Leanna quirked her brow. “I can’t tell for sure yet. Another three to five years could be possible.”
Aidan was speechless.
“Alright. I’m tired. Let’s head home.”
Even after arriving home, Aidan didn’t give up. “Is there no room for discussion?”
“Nope.”
“Okay. Let’s go tomorrow.”
Leanna grabbed the clothes and entered the bathroom. “Nope.”
“Didn’t you say—”
“Don’t you know that women are fickle?”
Aidan went silent.
Leanna waved her hand and shut the bathroom door, leaving Aidan standing on the spot with his arms
attached to his hips as he snorted.
…
At night, Leanna lay in bed and looked out at the bright moon outside, not at all sleepy. Instead, she felt
even more awake.
Her assumptions were right. Aidan was indeed hiding something from her. Moreover, it wasn’t an
insignificant one.
It could be related to the entire Pearson Group, and he was worried about implicating her. That could
be why he declined her request to register their marriage tomorrow.
What on earth is he up to?
Just as Leanna was lost in thought, Aidan wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her
ear, “What are you thinking, honey?”
“Nothing. I just can’t sleep.”
“Can’t sleep?” Aidan raised a brow.
Leanna said nothing.
All of a sudden, he seemed to be energetic.
Leanna shut her eyes. “Don’t talk to me. I’ll fall asleep soon.”
“I wasn’t even talking just now. Weren’t you awake too?”
Leanna stopped his hands from roaming around her waist and opened her eyes. “I have a question to
ask.”
Aidan planted a soft kiss behind her ear. “Hmm?”
Leanna hissed at him to express her disdain, making him stop his actions and turn serious. “What is
it?”
“You said you’ve noticed how Louis already fell for Daphne a long time ago, didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t young men in their twenties want to confess their feelings when they meet a girl they like? Don’t
they have… thoughts about being with her?”
“How did you come to this conclusion?”
“I think Louis likes Daphne, but his behavior sometimes seems so unpredictable. It’s like… he likes her,
but he’s only hovering on the edge all the time and doesn’t seem to have thoughts about taking the
relationship a step further.”
“What kind of progress are you trying to say?”
His statement made Leanna go speechless.
Angrily, she huffed, “Can you be serious with me?!”
Aidan’s palm stopped moving, indicating that he was listening to her.
Leanna continued, “I’m just trying to ask if boys in their twenties behave the same way. Do they stop
pursuing a girl they like after meeting them?”
“That doesn’t apply to him.”
“But…”
“Are you trying to say that Zayn didn’t confess to you either at 20?”
Unable to hold back, Leanna kicked him. “Get out.”
Aidan explained, “I’m trying to analyze this matter with you objectively and rationally. The reason Zayn
didn’t confess to you is that he knows that you reciprocated his feelings, and he wanted to have a
bright future with you. On the contrary, Louis didn’t confess because he knows that there’s no future
with Daphne.”
Leanna was initially upset, but upon hearing his explanation, she fell into a brief daze. “But why?”
“Do you think you’re the only one who hates Jethro?”
Leanna was dumbfounded upon hearing the mention of that name.
Instantly, she was enlightened.
Louis didn’t just hate Jethro, he even felt embarrassed for having the latter as his father.
Even though Jethro was dead now after doing all those nasty things, his spiteful acts were like a curse
that intertwined with Louis’ life, making it hard for him to get rid of them.
