Chapter 608 Could It Be That He’s Handsome?

The night view in Jamesdon was beautiful, especially near the river, where the entire city's night view

reflected on the river surface could be seen.

The evening breeze was also pleasant.

The restaurant where they had dinner was located by the river. At a glance, there were ripples on the

river surface that were caused by the wind and created a shimmering effect.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Leanna wasn't very hungry and didn't eat much.

Aidan noticed this and ordered a dessert for her, to which she mentioned, "I can't eat anymore."

"If you eat that little, you'll be hungry at night." He pushed the plate of dessert toward her. "Hurry up

and eat, or you won't be able to gain even a pound, let alone five pounds."

"You were the one who said it, not me!"

Aidan's lips curved. "Mm-hmm, I said it."

Leanna was a bit full and couldn't eat anymore, so she had the dessert packed for takeout and took it

back to the hotel where she planned to eat it when she was hungry later.

He didn't say anything about it, either.

After dinner, they walked by the river for a while. Leanna lazily leaned against the railing to enjoy the

breeze.

Aidan asked, "What's wrong?"

"My legs are weak; I have no strength."

She slept the whole afternoon and didn't do anything, but she still felt tired for some reason.

The man turned around and squatted while facing away from her. "Come up."

She looked around and saw many people around her. Then, she whispered, "What are you doing?"

"Since your legs are weak, I'll carry you."

"I… just want to rest for a while. It's not like I can't walk."

Aidan turned his head back and pulled her arm, which caused her to be off guard and fall directly on his

back.

He carried her and said, "You should have listened to me earlier."

Leanna was speechless.

Although there were many people around, most of them were just walking around, and no one was

carrying anyone on their backs like they were doing. As a result, many people cast ambiguous glances

at them.

She buried her head in his shoulder and urged him in a soft voice, "Let's go back to the hotel."

"Don't you want to walk for a little more?"

"Am I even walking right now?"

As they walked toward the hotel, Aidan's lips curled into a wider smile.

It would take them about 10 minutes to arrive at the hotel, and as they got closer, there were fewer

people around.

Looking at their long shadows under the streetlights, Leanna suddenly spoke up, "Aidan."

"Hmm?"

"What do you think the truth from 20 years ago will be?"

When she found her mother's body, he told her that the people who helped Leroy with the plan 20

years ago and caused Justin's car accident were likely the same group of people.

Before coming to Jamesdon, she had always thought that everything was done by the Woodleys.

However, for some reason, that feeling was less intense now that she interacted with Waylen and

Lachlan and heard what they said.

Leanna's intuition told her they probably wouldn't stoop so low as to do such things. Be it 20 years ago

or now.

The Woodleys were not as heinous as others imagined them to be.

Aidan replied calmly, "Whatever it is, it won't be a happy revelation."

"What do you think the Woodleys' role was in the events from 20 years ago?"

"Definitely not any positive roles."

"Why is that?"

"The Woodleys couldn't leave Jamesdon for their entire lives. Yet, they were involved in those events

20 years ago. The Crossleys' fire, Leroy's subterfuge, taking advantage of that situation, and Justin's

paralysis after the car accident. Besides these, what good things happened?"

Leanna opened her mouth but was unable to answer for a moment.

Aidan continued, "Perhaps the Woodleys aren't the mastermind behind the scenes, but there must be a

link to these events somehow. Though, there's still one thing I can't figure out."

He added, "But I'm sure there should be an answer soon."

If the Woodleys could not leave Jamesdon, why did they participate in these events in Highside at any

cost?

Back at the hotel, Leanna only briefly washed up because she had just showered before leaving. Then,

she lay down on the bed and turned on her fully charged phone to check in with her friends at Highside.

Zoe answered her call while she was still out of breath. "I've been so scared for the past two days while

you were missing, but fortunately, President Pearson called this morning."

Leanna paused for a moment and looked outside the bedroom. "He called you?"

"He didn't intend to call me. Daniel sent someone to look for you, but President Pearson simply said

that we don't have to search for you anymore," Zoe explained. "Nana, what happened? How did you

suddenly disappear from the hospital?"

Leanna gently pursed her lips. "Lachlan's people took me away."

"Lachlan? Do you mean Lachlan the monster, who eats people and doesn't leave a trace of bones? Is

he as terrifying and creepy as the rumors say? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Looking at their long shadows under the streetlights, Leanna suddenly spoke up, "Aidan."

She smiled. "No. I met him, and he's completely different from what the rumors say. His appearance—"

Thinking of the figure she saw at the door that day, she remembered something flashing through her

mind, but she couldn't grasp it.

Zoe asked curiously, "Could it be that he's handsome?"

"Yes, he's quite handsome," Leanna acknowledged.

"How handsome is he? Is he as handsome as President Pearson?" Zoe asked excitedly.

Leanna's hand that was holding the phone paused, and the scene of seeing Lachlan for the first time

flashed in her mind once again.

She finally knew what it was that flashed through her mind.

After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Yes."

Zoe did not believe Leanna as she replied, "No way."

"Yes, he's almost as handsome as Aidan."

Zoe exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! There's actually someone in this world who's as handsome as

President Pearson! Ah, I want to see him, too! Can you secretly take a picture of him for me?"

"I don't think I can," Leanna admitted.

At that moment, Daniel's voice came through the phone. "I'm still here. Aren't you being a bit too

much?"

Zoe retorted, "Well, although President Pearson's tongue is a bit sharp, his face is very attractive.

When he's not speaking, his looks are off the charts!"

Leanna smiled at Zoe's words, but when she raised her head, she saw a man leaning against the

doorframe, and she didn't know how long he had been there.

She was speechless, but she coughed twice after a moment. "Zoe, I think—"

Zoe sighed. "President Pearson is a good person. It's just a shame that he has a sharp tongue."

Aidan walked toward Leanna with long strides.

Leanna quickly hung up the phone and stuffed the device under the covers while calmly looking outside

the window, trying to act as if nothing had happened.

As he approached step by step, she felt the temperature in the room had dropped a few degrees, and

she was almost out of breath from the pressure of his aura.

She decided to speak up first, "Zoe was just joking. She was complimenting you."

He stood in front of her. "I could tell. But…"

As he spoke, he grabbed her wrist and pressed her onto the bed. His dark eyes narrowed dangerously.

"What do you mean by 'almost?'"
