Chapter 170

What Else Could a Man Seek in a Woman? Seeing that Leanna was silent, Zoe sort of figured out the reason for that. She patted her on the shoulder, saying, “Nana, what are you thinking about? If you think the work is exhausting, we can hire however many designers we want, but I won’t allow you to quit… Actually, to be honest, I think that b*stard doesn’t seem to be making things difficult for you on purpose. He seems to have an ax to grind.” She frowned. “What is he up to, then?” She thought about it for a while. Then, she said slowly, “What else could a man seek in a woman? You’ve got pretty looks and a nice figure. If I were him, I’d have the hots for you, too.” After being speechless for a while, Leanna snapped, “Just shut up.”

Meanwhile, at the Pearson Group, Aidan sank into his chair, propping his head with his right hand while tapping his temples in thought. After two minutes, he said on the intercom, “Come in.” Jonathan showed up in the office soon afterward. “What can I do for you, President Pearson?” Raising his eyes slightly, he asked impassively, “What is Elijah Parker’s relationship with Leanna?” He asked tentatively, “President Pearson, do you remember President Parker?” He sank back into his chair with his face devoid of emotion. “Constellation Tech has been aggressive since its return from abroad last May, and Elijah Parker is called the tech industry’s future. Do you think I shouldn’t remember him?” Jonathan curled his lips in secret. So, he did it on purpose when he said at the time that he had no impression of President Parker, he thought.

and President Parker were there today to attend their class reunion.” Aidan frowned. “She was classmates with Zayn, too. And here comes another ex-classmate named Elijah?” He corrected him, saying, “Mrs. Pearson and Mr. Barnett might not be ex-classmates, but he was definitely her first love.” He slowly looked up at him as a frosty look came over his stony face. Jonathan immediately said, “Mrs. Pearson and President Parker are probably just ex-classmates. President Parker is different from Mr. Barnett, after all…” Toward the end of the sentence, though, he sensed that something was wrong with the mood in the office, so he simply clammed up. Ignoring his words, Aidan continued, “Constellation Tech was

scientific researchers, but all of Constellation Tech’s capital comes from abroad—investments made by foreign companies, perhaps.” Aidan fell silent for a moment before suddenly looking up at him. He froze, feeling that he was breaking out in a cold sweat. “P-President Pearson, is there anything else?” “Have you ever courted someone?” Jonathan didn’t come to his senses for a moment. “H-Huh?” Aidan pursed his thin lips slightly before waving his hand. “Never mind. Get out.” Jonathan left in bewilderment, but it wasn’t until he stepped out of his office that he finally came to his senses. Did President Pearson just ask me if I’d ever courted someone? Baffled, he looked back. Haven’t I been helping him court Mrs. Pearson all this while? Meanwhile, in the office, Aidan held onto his cell phone while looking at Oscar’s name for a while. Just as he was about

In the past, kids were just an accessory to him. It didn’t make any difference whether he had children or not; he’d never change his mind because of a strange little thing. However, before he realized

his finger with precision without even being able to open its eyes, his heart melted for no reason. All of a sudden, he understood why such an ugly and all-consuming little thing would be so important to Leanna. After a while, he summoned Jonathan into the office. “Book the earliest flight to Weavside.” He nodded. “Yes, President Parker.” … Leanna had thought that Aidan wouldn’t just give up like that.
