Chapter 623 Hearing You Say You Can’t Leave Me
After hearing her words, Aidan remained silent for a long while. His gaze was lowered and it was
unclear what he was thinking.
Leanna then stated, "You said you were tired. Go to sleep quickly so you don't overthink and say
something weird."
After a moment, Aidan answered with a deep and low voice, "These are your words."
Leanna was stunned for a few seconds and she couldn't help but wonder if she had said something
she shouldn't have.
I don't remember going that far. He didn't like it when I scolded him, did he?
Aidan looked up at her and repeated, "These are your words. From now on, don't look for excuses to
leave my side."
Leanna finally reacted and said, "Actually, I think these are two different things."
"I think it's the same thing."
"Alright, alright. You can think whatever you want. Go to sleep."
Aidan got up and took the tray from her hand, "I'll do it. You go take a shower."
"No—"
Before Leanna could refuse, Aidan had left the bedroom and headed toward the kitchen.
She sighed as she watched his retreating figure.
Well, as long as he is happy.
Sure enough, within two minutes, the sound of dishes and plates breaking came from the kitchen.
I'll just think of it as his way of venting.
…
Leanna came out of the shower and saw Aidan lying on the bed, working on his tablet with a focused
expression and his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Aren't you tired?" she asked.
"I heard you say you can't leave me, and suddenly I feel like I can hold on a bit longer."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeanna was speechless.
Truth was, she almost cursed at him.
He is really good at imagining things.
She sat on the edge of the bed and clicked on her phone to check the time. "Do you have to work late
tonight?"
"It's not work," Aidan mumbled.
This piqued Leanna's curiosity and she pressed, "If you're not working, why are you looking at your
tablet so seriously?"
She thought he had encountered some complex problem earlier from his expression.
Aidan didn't answer. He just tilted the tablet in his hand toward her.
Leanna put down her phone and looked at it.
What she saw were pictures of wedding dresses, rendering her completely stunned.
Aidan scrolled through the designs and commented lightly, "These are all famous international wedding
dress designers and they each have a unique style. I picked a few that look good. You can take a look
and choose your favorite. I will have Jonathan contact the designer and you can tell the designer the
specific details you want."
It took a while for Leanna to regain her voice. "Can you tell me how you went from saying nonsense to
trying to get me to stop bothering you emotionally to suddenly switching to this?"
Aidan corrected her, "I didn't ask you to stop bothering me. It's just that no one will bother you if I'm
sick."
"Is there a difference?"
"To avoid you badmouthing me behind my back, there is a difference."
Leanna suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't keep up with his thoughts.
Aidan continued, "Since you have already made it clear that it must be me, I can't just sit back and do
nothing."
Leanna reached out and placed her hand on his forehead. It was indeed a bit hot. Before she could say
anything, Aidan took her hand and enunciated clearly, "Let's get married."
"No, I…"
He then said slowly, "I know what you're worried about, but haven't you realized that the problems
you're worried about have already been solved?"
Leanna opened her mouth and was a little absentminded for a moment.
She had agreed to reunite with Aidan, but not to remarry. It was because she knew that marriage was a
matter between two families, and there was still an enmity between her and Sienna. Even the little guy
was a hurdle in her heart.
But now, Sienna was dead, the Pearson Family was gone, and the little guy was still alive.
Aidan continued, "I once said I would make up for the gifts I haven't given you during those three years
of marriage. The little…"
He paused before changing his wording. "The child is the last gift I gave you."
Leanna frowned. "But…"
She was not ready. Moreover, given the current situation of the little guy, how could she be happy to
get married?
Aidan pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Don't worry. I'm not asking you to marry me
immediately. I just want to hold a wedding. There are many things to prepare, including the wedding
dress, which will take several months from design to completion. Take your time to consider, okay?"
After a long time, Leanna nodded. "Okay."
He let her go. "Let's look at the wedding dresses first."
Leanna looked at the tablet before her, feeling that something was off. However, she couldn't put her
finger on it.
In the middle of the night, when she was half asleep, she finally realized what it was.
Aidan was setting a trap for her. They were already looking at wedding dresses, so how could she have
the chance to think things through?
B*stard! He could have put that much effort into something else.
Leanna became angrier and couldn't help but kick him. Aidan moved slightly, thinking she was having a
nightmare, so he pulled her into his arms and patted her back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeanna couldn't help the corner of her lips from lifting.
Forget it. I can't be bothered to argue with him.
…
On the other hand, Charlotte had just returned home and saw her father sitting on the couch, looking
unhappy.
She remembered the slap from earlier and couldn't help but shrink back. "Dad…"
Charles looked at her and said, "Weren't you kneeling in the ancestral hall? Who told you to get up?"
Charlotte lowered her head and stuttered for a long time, but in the end, she didn't reveal Lachlan's
name.
Charles sighed. "Charlotte, what have I taught you? How could you openly defy the elders in public?
Can't you give your great-grandfather some respect?"
Charlotte frowned at that. "But marriage is my own business. What does it have to do with them? Why
should I listen to their opinions?"
"Lachlan is the head of the Woodley Family. What's wrong with marrying him? Besides, would he dare
to bully you with us as your backing?"
"But I also want to find someone I like. Besides, according to our seniority, he is my uncle. I would feel
strange!"
Charles laughed. "The person you like? Are you talking about Aidan? You've only met him a few times
and already like him?"
Charlotte retorted, "It was love at first sight!"
"In that case, I have a few questions for you. Do you know whom that person kneeling in the ancestral
hall today was?"
Charlotte was stunned and she mumbled, "I heard Lachlan address her as 'Aunt Naomi'. From what
they said, she seems to have voluntarily removed herself from the genealogy. She should also be a
member of the Woodley Family, right?"
"She is indeed a member of the Woodley Family, and at the same time, she is Aidan's mother.
According to seniority, you have to call her 'Grandma'. Do you understand now? You also have to call
Aidan 'Uncle'!"
Charlotte was puzzled to hear that.
