Chapter 507
Leanna placed the bottle of folic acid in front of Zoe. "Although I know you don't want to keep the child,
just take this for now. It won't harm you, anyway. If you decide to go ahead with the operation, you can
throw it away."
With a depressed look, Zoe ran over and hugged her. "Sob. You're the best, Leanna."
She smiled and patted her back. "Alright, now. I know I'm in no position to persuade you, but there are
still two weeks left. Mull over intently whether you want to break the news to Daniel. In my eyes, he's
not an irresponsible person."
Nodding, Zoe replied, "I'll give it some thought."
After tidying up the contents of the fridge, Leanna thought about what Aidan had told her a few days
ago. She licked her lips and asked, "Zoe, did Anthony meet up with you recently?"
"Nope. I think karma has finally got him."
Thinking about it, Leanna did not tell her that it was Daniel who took care of him. Zoe's already in a
mess right now. If I tell her this, it would only further trouble her and leave her in more of a distraught
state.
Soon, her phone rang from Aidan's call. He stated upsettingly, "Even by foot, you would've arrived
there by now."
This made Leanna speechless since she had forgotten to send him a message. So, she replied, "I did
arrive a while ago. It's just that I have some business to take care of."
He snorted subtly. "When will you be done?"
"I think it'll drag on for a while. I'll send you a message when everything's finished."
She wanted to leave after preparing dinner for Zoe. Without waiting for Aidan to speak, she hung up on
him.
Zoe, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly had a burst of energy as her eyes glimmered upon the
thought of gossip. "Is dear President Pearson inviting you on a date?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPursing her lips, Leanna explained, "N-No… He's always like this. When he's not busy, he'll start to
monitor me."
Zoe replied with a sigh, "The Gods sure know how to joke with us. To think that the b*stard would act
like this."
Leanna rose to her feet. "I'll cook. What do you want to eat?"
Zoe answered with a pitiful look, "I'll eat whatever you cook."
"Okay."
Since Zoe had not had a proper meal for the last two days, plus Leanna's cooking suited her appetite
very much—not oily or heavy—she finished two plates of food before she was satisfied.
When she finished, Leanna was about to clean up the table when Zoe commented, "Just leave the rest
to me. Go have your date with your man. Quick! Otherwise, he's going to have a temper tantrum
again."
Noticing that it was late, Leanna replied, "I'll leave, then. Rest up properly. You hear me?"
"I know. Just go."
Upon Leanna's departure, Zoe washed the bowls before cleaning the kitchen and eventually slumped
onto the couch lifelessly.
After some time, she took her phone and found Daniel's number. Yet, she merely looked at it without
calling him.
This persisted until the view outside slowly darkened.
Tossing her phone aside, she planted her head face-first into the couch. God, tell me what I should do!
…
During the meal and movie, Leanna's thoughts were elsewhere throughout the whole process.
Noticing this, Aidan asked, "Are you feeling alright?"
It was only when she heard his voice did she snap back to reality. "Huh? I'm fine!"
This made him frown instead. "You must not want to go on this date, then."
Leanna did not know how to respond to this, so she retorted, "When did I ever say that?"
"Your expression says it all."
She tried to explain, "It's not like that. I was just thinking about something."
"Oh? Care to share? I might be able to help."
She did not want to tell him initially, but upon recalling his experience in this sort of situation, she
figured it would be nice to ask for his opinion.
After finding a remote spot, she asked him earnestly, "If, and this is hypothetical, let's say this concerns
us. I like you, and you do feel something for me, but it's not love. Then, for some reason, we did the
thing…"
Her words made Aidan's eyebrow raise. "Did what thing?"
Leanna stared at him. "What else could it be? Monopoly?"
Snickering, he replied, "Continue."
"Then, after some time, I found out I was pregnant. Would you want me to abort the child straightaway,
or would you want me to tell you?"
This bewildered Aidan. "How is this still hypothetical?"
Leanna knew what he meant. "This is different from our situation."
"How?" He commented, "Didn't you like me, and I felt something for you too?" He chose to not continue
his sentence.
With a smirk, she retorted, "I didn't like you back then. It was—"
Yet, he interrupted her, obviously not wanting to hear the name that would slip out. "Alright. Is your
question finished?"
"It is. You can start voicing your opinion."
Aidan slowly formulated his answer. "Hmm. A reason? If it's you, I would never let you abort the child."
His words stunned Leanna.
He looked at her and continued, "Babe, the process isn't important. What's important is the outcome."
Leanna merely nodded in response. She understood what Aidan was trying to say. Even though he
kept opposing her to keep the child from her last pregnancy, he did not force her or resort to drastic
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmeasures. At times, she could feel that he was also genuinely looking forward to the child coming into
this world.
In the end, it never came to fruition.
Seeing that she was silent, Aidan knew that this could not mean anything good, so he clicked his
tongue and commented, "You also said that it's different from what we went through. I just want to
protect you."
Leanna replied, "I find that you're capable of saying just about anything nowadays."
In the past, this b*stard would say whatever was on his mind. His mouth had no filter. I don't know
when it started, but he knows how to speak sweetly and can even entice me with just his words now.
He laughed and explained, "It's because I found this to be effective on you. Besides, everything I said
was the truth."
She kicked him playfully. "Okay. Let's go back. I'm tired."
"Aren't you going to ask me more?"
"It's useless to do so."
"How about you ask Daniel instead? After all, my opinions are just for reference."
Confused, Leanna looked at him with a stunned gaze, prompting Aidan to add, "It wasn't that hard to
guess."
"Still…" He hit it right on the mark.
He continued, "You only have a few friends. The person that could make you worry so much would only
be Zoe since it can't be Daphne."
This made her ask, "What do you think his answer would be?"
"No matter what the outcome is, you've said that he has some feelings for Zoe, plus the fact that they
played 'Monopoly', means that the responsibility is for them to share. There's no reason that one
should shoulder it all."
Leanna stayed silent. Monopoly. Really? Then, she whispered, "I think you're the biggest monopolizer
of them all!"
Not only is he a heartless landlord, but he's also an evil capitalist! Stingy man!
