Chapter 99 He Kinda Likes You
On the other end of the phone, Zoe fell silent. After a full ten seconds of silence, she said respectfully, “Nice to meet you, President Pearson. I’m Leanna’s new friend, Gigi Carter.”
Aidan’s tone was indifferent as he said, “Is that so?”
“Haha, yes, it was nice meeting you. I won’t bother you two anymore.”
Saying that, she hung up the phone as quickly as she could. After the dial tone sounded a few times, the whole room fell into a dead silence.
Leanna had never wanted to disappear from this world so much. The man’s eyes were dark and intense, as cold as ice. She slowly retracted her gaze and moved down little by little, as if she wanted to escape from the gap between him and the chair. However, as soon as she thought of this, Aidan folded his arms, causing her to nearly fall into his arms.
She stopped and quickly sat back in her chair, looking out the window. “Haha, President Pearson, look outside…”
“Why don’t you explain?”

Panicking, Leanna rolled her eyes from left to right. How could she explain herself? It wasn’t like she could tell him that that was what they always called him in private. He could’ve just taken the hint, but no. He just had to force me to say it out loud.
She pondered for a moment before saying seriously, “President Pearson, you didn’t knock.”
“I did.”
She was dumbstruck. Great. Now I can’t shift the blame on him.
Just as Leanna was racking her brains for a way to answer, Aidan suddenly retracted his hand and got up, saying in a low voice, “The milk is going to get cold. Drink it first.”
She hurriedly went to grab the cup of milk, as if grabbing a lifeline.

However, before she could let out a breath of relief, Aidan sat down on the couch and said, “Come up with an explanation after you’ve finished drinking.”
His words immediately caused her to choke on the milk.

her lips and saying in a serious and earnest tone, “I’m sorry, President Pearson. I was wrong.” Without even raising his head, Aidan asked, “Wrong about what?” “I shouldn’t have bad-mouthed you in private, much less let you overhear us.” “Are you saying that you can badmouth me as long as I don’t hear it?” Leanna waved her hand. “No, no, of course that wasn’t what I meant.” Why is this b*stard being so aggressive? Although she was to blame for this, he had said his fair share of slander toward her as well. Aidan couldn’t be bothered to deal with her, so he got up and left. As she watched him walk away, she finally felt alive again. A while later, Zoe called again, and she tentatively asked, “Sweetie, are you still alive?” Leanna

summarized everything that happened during this time, but she did not mention that Naomi was Aidan’s biological mother. Hearing that, Zoe gasped. “Sweetie, why do

“I don’t know how he feels. Either way, he’ll leave in a few days at most.”
“What about you? Aren’t you coming back with him?”
Leanna shook her head. She was about to say something, but felt that it had no meaning. She didn’t want to leave either. She just didn’t know if they would follow her wishes when the time came.
She said, “I’ll see. If I can help it, I won’t go back.”
When she was here, she could at least avoid those matters that troubled her.
After hanging up, Leanna looked at the time, and saw that it was already eleven o’clock. Her body was starting to ache after sitting for a long time, so she decided to head downstairs to get some exercise.

you to walk more. Your stomach isn’t showing much yet, but when it gets bigger in the future, it will be inconvenient for you to move around.” After chatting for a little longer, Naomi went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner. Wendy grabbed Leanna to take a seat at the stone table and asked concernedly, “Leanna, are things really impossible for you and Harry?” The corners of Leanna’s lips twitched. “Yes. Thanks for worrying about me, Ms. Shaffer, but I don’t plan on thinking about these things for
