Chapter 95 Why Doesn’t President Pearson Like Me?
Leanna had never dreamed such a situation would come about—for that Aidan to wash her hair for her.
Not only was such a thing beneath someone of his status, but it was also just too bizarre to even think
about it. With things as they were now, she felt as though she was an inmate on death row waiting for
the guillotine to fall. With slight fear, she said, “President Pearson, how about I do this myself?”
“Shut up,” Aidan replied frigidly.
At the man’s words, Leanna grunted and said nothing further. With that, he poured the warm water
down her hair which flowed down into the clusters of flowers around them. Although she couldn’t see
clearly right now, she assumed that such a scene would be a heartwarming one, on the premise that
the man hadn’t an indifferent expression the entire time. Other than that, the two right now gave off the
impression that they were just two lovebirds, as everything was tranquil throughout the process.
However, upon realizing she had such thoughts, she became startled and avoided Aidan.
Nevertheless, Aidan held her shoulder with one of his hands and said in displeasure, “Why are you
moving about? Didn’t I ask you if the water was too hot for you?”
Leanna couldn’t fathom just how compelling his words were, as she couldn’t help but be immersed in
that beautiful scene in her mind. “I got bitten by a mosquito,” she said after a moment’s silence.
“I see you’re not only attractive to men, but mosquitos as well.”
Angry at what she had heard, she retorted, “If I’m that attractive to men, why doesn’t President Pearson
like me?”
Aidan remained silent.
As a matter of fact, Leanna regretted the moment she said that. She knew that man was about to make
some sort of sarcastic remark at her after what she said. But, the lights in the yard suddenly came back
on. With a few snapping sounds, all the electrical appliances and the streetlights came back on.
Although the electricity was back on, the two continued to be in silence. Of all times to come back on,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe thought. Blinded by the sudden bright lights, Leanna inadvertently met the man’s dark, tranquil
eyes, which she immediately averted from. Then, she wrapped her hair with a dry towel and said,
“Thank you, President Pearson. I’ll head on upstairs now!”
After coming upstairs, Leanna immediately went to her room and locked the doors before finally
exhaling a breath. That was close, she thought, as she knew she wouldn’t be able to get some sleep
out of anger again from listening to that man’s snide remarks. Then, she went back into the bathroom
to blow dry her hair, though she did sneeze halfway through.
At night, Leanna quietly gazed out the window while thinking back on the events today. She was
unsure if she was overthinking it, or was it Aidan who was just too erratic. Every now and then, there
would be a small voice inside her that said, Perhaps he likes me. There was no other explanation that
would fit this strange situation, after all. As midnight came, with the reason for his actions remaining a
mystery, she yawned and fell asleep in a daze.
…
Leanna was sleeping soundly when she heard a knock on the door. Gradually opening her eyes, she
sat up and realized she was dizzy with her nose blocked uncomfortably. After taking a moment to wake
herself up, she got up and opened the door to find Aidan leaning against the wall with an askance
expression. “I didn’t expect for you to be so vindictive,” said Aidan.
She was stunned for a split second before asking, “Huh?”
“Since I said you ate a lot yesterday, you’ve chosen to not eat at all today.”
Unable to understand what Aidan was saying, Leanna took a while and realized that the sun was
already up when she looked out the window. Looking at how high the sun was, she guessed that it was
already noon right now.
She said weakly, “I don’t have much of an appetite, actually. You can have my share.” With that, she
turned around and planned to go back to sleep. However, Aidan held her wrist and touched her
forehead with his cool palm. He then pursed his lips. “Go to the hospital, now.” As usual, Leanna
couldn’t stand hearing those words from Aidan and reflexively shook his hand off her. Stammering, she
said, “No need. I’ll be better after a good sleep.” With how fast her reaction was, it was clear for Aidan
to see what Leanna was thinking. He then withdrew his hand and placed his hands in his pockets
before he said with an indifferent expression, “Leanna McKinney, please use your brain a little. If I was
going to take you to the hospital for an abortion, do you think you’ll be able to stay here so peacefully
for close to a month now?” “Doesn’t matter how you put it. You still have such thoughts, in the end.
Regardless, I’m not going.” Aidan sneered, “Your cold is serious. Before I could even take action, you’ll
be—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Leanna hurriedly covered his mouth. Seemingly out of breath, she
then said, “President Pearson, I beg you. Please be a little virtuous.” She knew what he was about to
say, as he was the type of person who would say such hurtful words without any kind of gain on his
part.
With his expression still one of mockery, he asked once more as his patience ran thin. “So, are you
going?”
“Alright, alright. I thank you in advance.”
However, Aidan was wordless for a moment before he said in displeasure, “Did I suggest to you that I’ll
be the one bringing you there?” “Then, please move aside, President Pearson,” Leanna said. Before
she could take her third step out the door, she found herself being lifted by the man’s arms. As her
gaze traveled upward, all she could see was the man’s cold and distinct jawline. “You’ll only waste my
time if you fall here.” Fine, just do whatever you want, she thought, as she no longer had the strength to
argue with the man. After the doctor finished examining Leanna, the doctor told her that it was just a
common cold and that she would be fine after taking some medicine and having some rest. After that,
the doctor looked at the indifferent man by the door. “As a husband, you’re far too irresponsible for your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwife to catch a cold in such weather.” Leanna immediately explained, “N-No… It’s not…”
“What do you mean? Let me tell you this, miss. It is during a woman’s pregnancy that they suffer the
most in her entire life. Although you’ve passed the initial stage of pregnancy where you’re constantly
feeling nauseous, you’ll find your body gradually changing when your belly gradually gets bigger. You’ll
feel even worse when that time comes.”
After that, the doctor turned her attention back to Aidan and chastised him. “It is a woman’s
manifestation of her love for you to give birth to your child. As her husband, you should be caring for
her much more than this.”
Smiling, Aidan cast a glance at Leanna without leaking his true thoughts.
Leanna became shy and embarrassed at the man’s glance. With the blood rushing to her head, she
stood up immediately with unexplained strength and said, “Thank you, doctor. I’ll keep what you said in
mind. We’ll take our leave here.” She then rushed out of the consultation room.
After Leanna took her medication from the counter, Aidan came from behind her and said indifferently,
“Feeling rejuvenated, are we?”
She kept quiet at the man’s remark.
He continued, “Looks like you don’t need me to carry you anymore.”
“President Pearson…”
“Hmm?”
“Can you please just shut up?” Leanna said before she took a deep breath. “You don’t need to take
what that doctor said to heart. The reason why I want this child is one of my own. It has nothing to do
with you in the slightest.”
“I know,” Aidan answered leisurely.
Just as she heaved a sigh of relief, he continued, “It has nothing to do with me for you to give birth to
my child, and it has nothing to do with me when you secretly drew me as well.”
Leanna was dumbstruck.
