Chapter 47 Did I Ever Say So? Aidan said, “Do they look like they’re my stuff? Move them away. It
annoys me just by looking at them.” Leanna was silent for two seconds before she said, “President
Pearson, I guess we’ll just have to throw them away if you don’t want them.” After hearing that, he
involuntarily reprimanded her after he heard her words, “Do you think I hire servants just for the sake of
helping you take out the trash?
Take them outside and throw them yourself!” As soon as she heard that, she was speechless. Then,
she grumbled after a while, “But they’re too much. I can’t take that much.” Even so, he was still being
insensitive. “Don’t you know that you can come over every day and throw them away little by little?”
Seeing that Aidan was in no way willing to compromise with her, Leanna took a deep breath. “Fine. But
I have some work on hand right now, so I hope you can be merciful and give me a few more days to
settle this matter.” Immediately after she spoke those words, silence took over the atmosphere
surrounding them.
The silence continued after a few seconds until Aidan reluctantly hummed through the tip of his nose.
“Well then, I shall take my leave first. Goodbye, President Pearson.” With that, Leanna moved her feet
and walked away. However, Aidan’s voice came from behind just when she took a few steps forward.

Hearing his voice, Leanna halted her tracks for a moment. Then, she declined his offer by saying,
“There’s no need to be so troublesome. I’ll head outside and take a taxi by myself.” “Didn’t you ever say
that it’s unsafe for someone so loveable and gorgeous like you to walk on the streets alone at night?”
The words that escaped Aidan’s lips surprised Leanna and made her unable to respond swiftly. After a
long while, she finally reacted and let out a hollow laugh. “Did I ever say so?” However, it was clear that
Aidan wasn’t interested in continuing the conversation. Thus, he withdrew his gaze and ignored her.
When Leanna noticed that, she rubbed her nose awkwardly and left. Once she arrived downstairs, the
driver appeared in front of her just as she was about to head outside. “Madam, Master has asked me to
send you home.” Upon hearing the way the driver addressed her, Leanna patiently corrected, “Don’t
address me as Madam anymore. Aidan and I have already divorced, remember?” Nevertheless, the
driver was obviously not as tactful as Jonathan. He held himself back for a while before saying, “Yes…
Madam.” On her way back, Leanna leaned against the car window while holding a paper bag. Thinking
about Aidan, she breathed out a long sigh. Fortunately for me, that b*stard, Aidan’s mind always
functions very differently from others.
When he saw the folic acid, he suspected that Zayn and I were trying to get me pregnant. Then, when
he saw the baby clothes, he suspected that I wanted a child. In short, he never once suspected that I
might actually be pregnant right now. Regardless, I’m glad I managed to escape another catastrophe
again this time. At the same time, Leanna also realized one thing through the lessons she learned after
she faced two incidents. It will be hard for me to keep this a secret from Aidan. He’ll find out sooner or
later if I stay here any longer. With that in mind, she wished to find Harvey and see whether she could
ask for his permission to leave Highside after she was done with the jewelry customization order this
time.
I’m basically just designing anyway, so it’s fine for me to not go to work in the magazine unless there’s
something major. Although she didn’t know how long she could hide this secret from Aidan this way, it
didn’t matter much to her now. The most important thing now was to keep Aidan in the dark for as long
as she could. Besides… At that moment, Leanna remembered Aidan’s words from tonight. He has
clearly said that he didn’t want children, and if he ever finds out that I’m pregnant one of these days,
the life of this little bean in my belly will certainly be in danger. Once she got home, Leanna sat in front
of her design for a while before she took out her phone to call Zoe.

As soon as the call went through, Zoe asked, “Sweetie! What’s wrong?” In the meantime, Leanna could
sense the tinge of happiness in Zoe’s voice. Not only that, she could also hear the noises coming from
her side of the phone. Holding her phone, Leanna said, “Oh, nothing much. By the way, where are you
now?” “I’m at the amusement park. It’s rare that Anthony got off work on time and didn’t have to attend
any social engagements today, so he decided to take me to have fun at the amusement park. Would
you like to come over and join us?” Leanna declined after hearing those words. “No, it’s fine.
Have fun and enjoy yourself.” Ever since she found out that Anthony was cheating on Zoe, Leanna had
always wanted to find the right time to tell her friend. However, as Zoe’s close friend, Leanna couldn’t
bring herself to dampen Zoe’s spirit and ruin her mood when she was feeling so happy. For someone
who had gone through a divorce, Leanna knew all too well the heartbreaking feeling of being betrayed
by your loved ones. In the meantime, Zoe walked to a quiet place as there was something that she
wanted to tell Leanna. Covering her phone’s speaker, she whispered to Leanna.
“Nana, between us, I have a hunch that Anthony will propose to me tonight. His behavior is just so
unusual today. Oh, what should I do? Do you think I should just agree to his proposal right away? Or
should I restrain myself and reject him?” Just as Leanna was about to speak, Anthony’s voice came
from the other end of the phone. “Baby, who are you on the phone with?”
