Chapter 101 There’s Someone Waiting
In the hospital, many women were there for maternity check-ups, and most were heavily pregnant.
In comparison to them, Leanna seemed more relaxed.
However, she was used to coming alone. This was the first time that someone was accompanying her.
Moreover, the place was crowded and noisy; pregnant women threw tantrums at their husbands. In
addition to her checkup, she also had to take care of Aidan, who looked entirely out of place and could
not find a place to sit.
This suddenly made Leanna think that it was useless to have a man. They did not benefit her in any
way; instead, they only added to the chaos. She would be better off coming here alone.
It was no wonder that those women who were longer into their pregnancy found their husbands
annoying.
Aidan was aware of her gaze and turned his eyes sideways before saying unhappily, “Why are you
looking at me?”
This made her smile. “There are a lot of people here. If President Pearson finds it unbearable, you can
wait outside for me.”
“When did I say it was noisy?”
When she heard this, she licked the corner of her lips. Your expression says it all.
She really shouldn’t have told him this morning. Nothing of such would happen if she came by herself.
“Then, I’ll go in first. If you’re tired of waiting, you can leave anytime,” she said.
Aidan continued to look at her coldly and didn’t say a word.
After Leanna went in, he withdrew his gaze and leaned against the wall near the door. His gaze
inadvertently fell on the pregnant woman sitting nearby.
Her belly was big; her baby should be due soon.
Her husband squatted beside her as he caressed her stomach with his hands and put his ears to it

“He kept sleeping and didn’t want to move throughout the examination,” the pregnant woman said.
“Then, it seems like I’ll need to accompany you next time.” Then, the man turned to speak to her
stomach again, “Baby, did you hear your daddy’s voice? I know you’re excited to see your daddy, right?
You can come out from your mommy’s stomach in just a few more days!”
Hearing this, the woman pushed the man and smiled. “Why are you saying this to him? He won’t
understand.”
“That’s not true. I’ve heard that babies in their mother’s stomachs can actually feel the joys and sorrows
of adults. We just have to talk to him more so that he knows that there are people out there looking
forward to his arrival. Then, when he’s born, he’ll learn how to walk faster and cause you less trouble.”
After a while, the young couple left.
When Leanna came out, she saw Aidan looking at the two empty seats with an unreadable expression
on his face. She didn’t know what he was thinking. So, she stretched out her hand and waved.
“President Pearson?” With that, he returned to his senses and glanced at her lightly. “Are you done with
your examination?” “Yup, I’m done. Let’s go.” Leanna woke up very early today and was a little sleepy
on the way back. However, as the car ride was silent, she leaned against the window and slowly fell
asleep. When she opened her eyes again, she found he had parked the car at a mall. Aidan unbuckled
his seatbelt and said, “Come down if you’re awake.” She rubbed her eyes and got out of the car before
fully understanding what was happening. Then, after walking with him for a while, he asked, “President
Pearson, are you here to buy something?”
Right after she asked this, she suddenly realized how redundant that question was. As a businessman,
he had to be visiting this mall to inspect its KPI. Although it didn’t make sense, he still did accompany
her to the hospital. Therefore, out of courtesy, she reluctantly accompanied him around the mall.
Leanna dutifully followed behind him like a personal assistant as she yawned. When Aidan finally
stopped in his steps, she realized that they were standing in front of the children’s section. At first, she
was a little stunned, but she suddenly remembered that the women and children were the best target
groups regarding their expenditures. Hence, it wasn’t surprising if he wanted to come here.
At this time, he turned back and said arrogantly, “Go and pick.”
Leanna was stupefied. What did he want her to pick? She looked around her and couldn’t help but ask,
“President Pearson, can you give me a hint?”
Aidan felt dissatisfaction rise in him when he heard her clueless question. “What else can you pick
here? A dress?”
Leanna didn’t know what to say.
She finally woke up as she looked around, and when she noticed all the baby supplies around and
understood what he meant. After a short pause, she said, “Thank you, President Pearson, but there’s
no need for this. I’ve prepared all these already…” He did not seem to want to deal with her nonsense
and went straight into the store, taking whatever he saw. She was rendered speechless by his callous
manner. Has this b*stard lost his mind? Then, she trailed behind him and took the things he put out of
the cart. “President Pearson, you—” His head snapped back, and he threw the things back into the cart
again. This gave Leanna no choice but to stop him in a roundabout way. “President Pearson, this toy
you’re holding is for children over three years old to play with.” The clerk hurried over and greeted,
“Hello, sir and madam. How old is your baby? I can recommend toys that are suitable for you.” “It’s oka
—” Aidan interrupted and answered, “In her growing belly.”
…
Until they left the mall, Leanna did not know what had gotten into that b*stard that he almost emptied
several baby stores.
As for the several shop assistants, they seemed to have never seen anyone so lavish that they would
spend money mindlessly. They all offered to deliver the items back to his house.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Aidan noticed Leanna’s hesitation to speak, he asked, “Do you want something?”
She quickly refused once she heard him speak, “No, I don’t. Thank you, President Pearson, for your
kindness. I don’t want to buy anything. I don’t want to buy anything at all.”
Aidan let out a snort before getting into the car.
When she saw this, she let out a sigh of relief.
The nightmare was finally over.
On the way home, Leanna was so shaken up that she couldn’t sleep. As she sat in the passenger seat,
she looked at the man several times before she couldn’t hold herself back anymore and asked,
“President Pearson, why did you buy all these for?”
Aidan did not even bother to look back at her. “For fun.”
His answer rendered her mute yet again but this was definitely like him to do such a thing.
Just like that, she couldn’t be bothered to ask further.
Unexpectedly, after a few minutes, he suddenly asked, “How many more months?”
She did not expect him to ask this; she was stunned, so she took a while before answering, “If it’s full-
term, then it’d be about 21 weeks, almost five months.”
After a deep hum from him, he remained silent during the entire journey home.
Then, she lowered the car window and looked at the passing scenery outside.
Since he asked, it must mean that he would let this child be born, right?
When she thought of this, the corners of her mouth curled up. Suddenly, she felt that her mood had
finally improved after a trying day.
As for Aidan, he squinted and saw her leaning on the car window through the rearview mirror with the
corners of her lips curled up, and his cold black eyes softened unconsciously.
In this world, although human emotions weren’t connected, they could still affect the people around
them.
