Chapter 811 Do You Believe What She Said?
After hanging up the phone, Zoe bought gifts for Leanna, Daphne, Louis, and the studio's employees.
She glanced at her phone to check the time—it was seven o'clock.
It was about time to board the plane now.
Soon, Zoe boarded the plane back to Highside.
She leaned against the window seat, gazing at the night scenery outside. She was lost in her thoughts.
This trip had been hurried, with little time for relaxation.
Moreover, there were unexpected things happened.
Although she acted impulsively, she did not regret it.
When she heard him say those words, it would be a lie to say she was not moved.
Moreover, a person should face their desires head-on. There was no need to escape from it.
However, she also knew that it would not change anything, even if Daniel liked her.
She knew he was anti-marriage and had never thought she was different from his previous girlfriends.
Believing a playboy would settle down was just foolish.
Even though she resisted blind dates arranged by her family, deep down, she knew she would
eventually get married.
Therefore, there was no need to waste any unnecessary emotions. A brief moment of happiness would
suffice—simple and uncomplicated.
The plane ascended into the sky, and everything grew quiet. Zoe closed her eyes and slowly drifted
into slumber.
...
Highside.
It was 8.30PM. when Aidan arrived home, and Leanna had just showered.
Aidan raised an eyebrow slightly and approached her. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Did you
know I was back?"
Leanna pushed him away lightly. "Stop teasing. I've heated your dinner in the pot. Eat it yourself. I'm
going to bed."

"Zoe's flight arrives at three tomorrow morning, and I need to pick her up," Leanna replied.
Aidan hesitated for two seconds. "Why not get Jonathan to do it?"
"Forget it. It's better if I go. Jonathan isn't familiar with her, which would be awkward."
"Then I'll go." Aidan insisted.
Leanna was speechless.
"It'll be even more awkward if you go!" she said.
"I'll go with you then."
Leanna was about to say something, but Aidan quickly interrupted. "Do you think I can trust you to
drive alone late at night?"
After hearing this, Leanna fell silent.
Well, it's true.
Aidan let go of her. "Alright, go get some sleep. I'll wake you up when it's time."
Leanna looked at him and hesitated for a moment before saying. "How about... you send someone with
me? You should get some rest."
"It's fine. I won't be able to sleep without you."
It was a completely normal statement, but Leanna could not help but smile. She did not rush to sleep
and instead brought out some warm food for him. "Have your meal first."
While Aidan ate, Leanna went back to her room and lay on the bed.
She was trying to fall asleep, but it was still too early, and she could not fall asleep no matter what.
When Aidan entered the room, he saw her tossing and turning on the bed.
He walked to the edge of the bed and leaned over her shoulder. "Can't sleep?" he whispered in a low
voice.
Zoe opened her eyes and was very discouraged. "Yes... what time is it?"
"Nine-thirty," Aidan replied.
Zoe was shocked and speechless. She spent an entire hour but still could not fall asleep.
Aidan lifted the blanket off Leanna and leaned down to kiss her. "If you can't sleep, then don't sleep."
Leanna quickly grabbed his wandering hand. "We have to leave at 2.00AM. There's no time..."
"We have enough time, just once."
Leanna was left speechless again.
In fact, never trust a man's words, especially Aidan's.
By the time they were done, it was almost midnight.
"Can you sleep now?" Aidan asked.
"I'm not really sleepy."
"Then let's continue?"
"Aren you trying to exhaust yourself?" Leanna whispered.
Aidan remained unfazed. "A little sacrifice is worth it to have a child."
Leanna fell silent when he mentioned this.
She had been taking those pills for so long. And almost every night, they would...
But still, there was no good news.
Although Waylen had told them not to rush, she still could not console herself, no matter how hard she
tried. She just could not remain calm.
Seeing her silence, Aidan knew what she was thinking and embraced her. "Have you ever considered
that the reason you haven't conceived is because we haven't tried hard enough? We need to do it more
frequently to increase our chances."
Leanna could not be bothered to respond and turned off the lights. "Let's go to sleep."
It was late, and combined with the intense exercise just now, Leanna settled for a while, and
drowsiness quickly engulfed her.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, Aidan was calling her.
Leanna turned over and buried her head in his chest. "I want to sleep a little longer," she murmured
softly.
Aidan gently rubbed her head. "It's already two-thirty."
Leanna seemed to fall asleep and did not answer him.
After thirty seconds, she suddenly wriggled out of Aidan's embrace. Her eyes were still sleepy and a bit
dizzy. "What time did you say it was?"
"Two-thirty," Aidan said and pulled her back again. "If you're really tired, I can send Jonathan to fetch

Leanna got out of bed and put on her clothes. "No need, I'll go."
As she looked for her underwear, a hand beside her offered it.
Leanna did not say anything and felt a bit awkward. When they left, Aidan handed her a jacket.
It normally takes forty minutes from their house to the airport. However, there were fewer cars at
midnight, so they arrived before three.
During the ride, Leanna could not resist falling asleep again.
When the car reached the airport, Leanna yawned and called Zoe. "Zoe, are you out?"
"I just got my luggage. I'll be out in a moment," Zoe replied.
"Great, we'll wait for you at the parking lot."
"We?" Zoe tentatively said, "Is President Pearson coming too?"
"He said he was worried about me driving alone at night, so he came with me," she explained.
"It's okay. It's my honor to have President Pearson personally pick me up. I'll come out right away!"
Leanna smiled. "Take your time."
After hanging up, Aidan rolled down the car window. "I remember she just left a few days ago. How
come she's back so soon?" he asked casually.
"She said she felt uncomfortable over there and missed home," said Leanna.
Aidan raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her. "Do you believe what she said?"
Leanna tilted her head. "What do you mean?"
"I heard that she and Daniel went to a photography exhibition and didn't come back all night," Aidan
said.
Leanna felt shocked but also very puzzled. "So, she was trying to avoid Daniel?"
"I'm not sure. You have to ask her yourself," Aidan said.
Leanna paused for a moment and then suddenly laughed. No wonder. She mentioned that she would
have some fun for a few days there but left overnight.
So that is the reason.
