I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 559

Aidan's black eyes bore down at Leanna as he languidly said, "My birthday wish is for you to always be by my side

on this day."

Her first reaction was to tell him that birthday wishes wouldn't work if spoken aloud, but she restrained herself

because she didn't want to ruin the mood.

When she got up to get ready to leave, he gave her another passionate kiss. His kiss was intense, but she was

unprepared for it and could hardly breathe. A few seconds later, he let go of her lips and gave her a chance to

catch her breath, but the lust building in his dark eyes was undeniable.

However, when Aidan made another attempt to kiss her, Leanna quickly covered his mouth. Then, with cheeks

aflame, she demanded loudly, "Go home!" I'm unsure if there are cameras in the room, which is... utterly

humiliating.

He smirked and leaned down to whisper to her, "Can I do anything I want to you when we get home?"

She ignored his question and swiftly got away from him. After straightening her clothes, she grabbed her bag and

stomped out of the room. With one hand in his pocket, he calmly strolled behind her.

It was nearly 1.00AM by the time they returned to Castor Villa.

As she reeked of alcohol, Leanna immediately grabbed a change of clothes and headed into the bathroom. She was

already undressed when the bathroom door opened.

Aidan leaned against the door frame with a cloth hooked onto his fingers' end. "You forgot something."

She turned to blankly stare at him, speechless. This b*stard! So, she grabbed a towel and flung it at him, but he

easily dodged it.

Then, he strode into the bathroom and said, "No need to be so polite with me."

The room was soon filled with steamy fog as heavy, needy panting echoed within. Trapped in a corner, Leanna was

his to do with as Aidan pleased. When they left the bathroom, she still felt as if she was covered in sweat as she

sprawled out on the bed, too tired to move.

He leaned in and bit her ear. "Where's my birthday present?"

Finding his nibbling itchy, she tried to duck away from him but failed. "I haven't found the right present yet. What do

you want?"

"What do I want? Well, there's a lot I can name."

Those words gave her a bad feeling, so she turned around to shove at his chest. "D-Don't say anything. Let me

think."

Suddenly, Aidan pinned Leanna on the bed, trapping her between his arms as he peered down at her with his eyes

partially closed. "Do you want a child?"

She froze in shock, unable to comprehend why he was bringing up that topic again.

After a few moments of silence, she replied, "The doctor said it isn't likely for us."

"Opportunities are given to those who prepare."

That rendered her speechless. Moreover, she was even ready to curse him out now. I'd have much to say about

him if today wasn't his birthday.

A smile hung in the corners of his dark eyes as Aidan gently kissed Leanna on the forehead. "Didn't I say I'll work

hard? As long as you want one, we can always have a child."

"Do you want one?" she asked with pursed lips. "If you do, I'll head to the hospital tomorrow and ask about

appropriate treatments. Be it medication or injections, I will do it. If we can't have one, you should find someone

else."

He was shocked upon hearing that. "What are you thinking about?" he huffed. "That's not what I meant."

"What did you mean by that, then?"

"Children will come naturally. The more you look forward to it, the less likely it will happen. Conversely, happy

accidents will always happen if you do not expect too much. Perhaps, you might get pregnant one day."

"That's quite a bad comparison," Leanna said, sighing.

"Am I wrong?" Aidan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, no. You're completely right." She wiggled, trying to get out of his embrace. "I'm exhausted. I want to sleep."

Suddenly, he grabbed her wrists. "Since I'm right, shouldn't you do something?"

By now, she could no longer bother to expose his plots. He said all that for that particular reason.

"We've already done it twice tonight. I—"

Before she could finish speaking, she was cut off by a kiss.

By the time they were done, it was already three in the morning. Tired out, Leanna immediately shut her eyes and

fell into a deep sleep.

After tucking her in, Aidan grabbed his phone and exited the bedroom. He lit up a cigarette and called Keaton.

"Well?"

"He's still not talking."

Aidan scoffed. "Ignore him. Keep a close eye on the Pearson Family Estate. Since he has vanished, the old man will

surely notice it. Perhaps, they might move somewhere else. As soon as they make a move, tell me."

"Yes." Keaton paused. "Oh, President Pearson, we have news of that streamer. Her friend said she frequently met

up with a guy before leaving Highside. I've looked into the surveillance footage of a cafe they visited. The man is

Nate Davis, a man from Jamesdon. He arrived at Highside three months ago and works in the alcohol and tobacco

industry. However—"

"What?"

"However, everything we can find out about him is fake. I've tracked his movements, and he vanished after arriving

at Jamesdon. That means that detail is likely true."

Aidan narrowed his eyes before slowly commenting, "Everything now points to Jamesdon. How interesting!"

"As for Jamesdon, since Old Mr. Woodley passed away from illness, the heir, Lachlan, has been in charge. They

have no cause or motivation to go through all that effort to mess around in Highside."

"I don't care if they are connected to this. Since someone wants me to go to Jamesdon, we'll seize the chance to

find the truth."

"President Pearson, I've heard that Lachlan is a vicious man who has never been seen before. If you go there

unprepared, would—"

"No rush," Aidan said, flicking the ash off his cigarette. "I'll go after we finish the issue over here."

Keaton instantly understood what he meant. "I'll have someone handle it now."

Aidan let out a hum. "Don't let anyone notice."

After hanging up, he stared out into the night sky. His cold face was stuck in an emotionless look that did not betray

his thoughts.

All these years, except when he was eliminating the spies the Pearsons had planted around him, he had focused

solely on his company's international expansion.

However, Jamesdon was far from Highside, and the Woodleys were the rulers. He had also never once stepped foot

in that entire region. Hence, when it came to Lachlan Woodley, he had only ever heard of him.

Then, Aidan snuffed out his cigarette. While he was about to head back to the bedroom, he remembered Leanna

disliked the scent of smoke. Thus, he went to the bathroom and took a shower.

He had only gone to bed when Leanna squirmed into his arms out of habit, even though she was still fast asleep. He

smiled upon seeing that and wrapped his arms around her. Sometimes, these habits are good! At least, this proves

that she could not live without me.
