Chapter 241
Leanna put the baby down in the crib before asking him to leave. "You should leave, President
Pearson. I'm going to sleep."
Aidan gazed at her as he slowly drawled out the words, "You can only call it resting if it's one person.
It's called sleeping only when there are two people. Since you put it that way, does that mean you want
me to sleep with you?"
What the f*ck is he talking about? she thought to herself.
Just as she was about to kick him out, her phone that was in the bag rang.
Afraid that it would wake the baby up, she rushed to pick it up.
She took a look at the caller ID. Then, she glanced at the man sitting on the couch before walking into
the bathroom.
She picked up the call as soon as she was in the bathroom, but right before the bathroom door shut,
she called out Elijah's name and it didn't go unnoticed by Aidan.
He put down the book in his hands as his lips pressed into a thin line.
In the bathroom, Leanna went over to the window and pushed it open after she had shut the door while
asking, "What's up?"
Elijah's voice came from the other end of the line. "I heard Zoe say you've gone to Weavside. How is
it?"
She smiled gently. "It's pretty nice. The pace here is slower than at Highside. So, it's relaxing."
"That sounds nice. It makes me want to visit that place too." He paused for a while before revealing his
intention with the call. "Leanna, how… long more before your return trip?"
"Probably two or three days' time."
He continued to ask, "They're setting up a class reunion this weekend. Would you go?"
Leanna answered, "I'll see when the time comes, but didn't we just have a reunion some time ago?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy another reunion so soon?"
"It was only a few of us the last time. This time it's for the whole class. If you're not going, I'm not going
as well."
Hearing his stance, Leanna felt pressured and thought about it before answering, "I'll ask Zoe first and
see what she says."
She was never one for crowds. Moreover, she wasn't close with many of her classmates and lost
contact with them after graduation.
This type of huge reunion was a first for her in a long time.
So, she wanted to ask Zoe to see whether there was a reason for her to attend. If it was just a simple
reunion, she probably would not attend.
"Okay," Elijah answered. "I'll pick you up at the airport when you come back, Leanna."
"It's okay. I—" A knocking sound interrupted her.
Before she could respond, Aidan's voice came through the door. "Are you done showering? I've been
waiting for half an hour."
Leanna was speechless. That b*stard definitely did this on purpose!
For a brief moment, Elijah went silent on the other end of the phone before speaking, "Go do your
thing, Leanna. Let me know when you've decided."
After hanging up the phone, she pulled the door open and glared at Aidan. She was about to lash out
at him, but she suddenly remembered that the baby was in the room.
Gritting her teeth, she suppressed her anger.
On the other hand, Aidan casually leaned on the door frame with his hands crossed in front of his
chest. "You took a long time in there. I needed to use the bathroom."
Leanna gritted the words through her teeth. "Don't you have your own room, President Pearson?"
"The heater in my room isn't working," he said as he pulled her out of the bathroom. "Get me a change
of clothes, will you? Though, it's okay if you don't want to. I don't mind—"
Without waiting to hear his nonsense, Leanna pushed him into the bathroom and slammed the door
shut.
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
Who could she blame as things had turned out this way? It all started three years ago when she
grabbed his sleeve at Patheon Club.
So, in other words, the fault was on her. You reap what you sow, Leanna, she thought to herself bitterly.
She went to Aidan's room and could not find his luggage. Then, she opened the wardrobe to see it
filled with his clothes. It seemed like he would sometimes stay there for a long time.
Suddenly, she frowned when a thought crossed her mind. Could it be that he came back to stay after
he had left with me the last time?
After some thought, Leanna felt that it made sense since Naomi—Aidan's mother—was here, so it was
natural that he would come here frequently.
She picked a set of home clothes for Aidan and was about to leave the room, but right before she did
so, she turned around with a straight face and looked at the wardrobe as anger burned in her. He's
such an insufferable man!
After returning to her room, she placed the clothes on the chair outside the bathroom and knocked on
the door. She said impatiently, "Your clothes are outside, President Pearson."
The sound of the shower stopped before Aidan asked slowly, "You've got everything?"
Leanna clenched her teeth before uttering the words one by one, "Yes. Everything!"
If it weren't because she was afraid of him teasing her, she would have just ignored him.
Annoying b*stard!
She didn't want to entertain him anymore, so she walked to the bed and took off her winter jacket
before wrapping herself tightly with the blanket.
Soon, the bathroom door opened, and it was closed again in less than a few seconds.
Even with a thick layer of blanket covering her, Leanna could still hear the sounds of him putting on his
clothes.
Two minutes later, the bathroom door opened again, and Aidan walked out while drying his hair with a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtowel. His eyes glinted when he saw the bulge on the bed.
Suddenly, Leanna's voice came from within the blanket. "Since you're done showering, President
Pearson, please return to your room. I want to sle—rest now!"
Aidan then said, "You don't want to shower? Go take a shower. I'll look after him for you."
She hesitated before answering, "I'm not showering!"
"You've been out the whole day. Don't you feel dirty?"
"And yet, being dirty didn't stop you from taking advantage of me, though."
Aidan threatened her, "If you're still not going to shower, I'll take advantage of you right now."
That made Leanna jump up from the bed. She wanted to strangle him.
He sat on the couch and calmly assured her, "I'll leave after you're out of the shower."
"Really? I don't believe you, though."
He looked at her and chuckled. "If I really wanted to do something, did I need to wait until now?"
"Don't you feel ashamed for the things you just said?"
The b*stard said it like he's innocent.
He crossed his long, slender legs. "It's up to you to believe it or not."
After that, he merely sat there and it didn't seem like he was going to leave anytime soon.
Leanna looked at her baby in deep slumber beside her and made up her mind. I will not shower in front
of him! She then fell back into the bed and wrapped herself in the blanket again.
Aidan was speechless at her defiance.
Just as he was about to say something, she warned him, "There's always a line you should not cross,
President Pearson."
Even though she had been enduring him today, it didn't mean that he could push his luck.
He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Am I so unworthy of your trust?"
"This isn't about trust!"
"Then, what is it?"
She didn't answer him.
