Chapter 180 Doesn’t Seem Like He’d Give Up Five minutes later, Jonathan stopped the car next to Leanna and Aidan, thereafter getting out of the car quickly to open the door to the backseat. After Aidan helped Leanna in, he went around the car and got in from the other side. When Jonathan was about to type in the address on the GPS, he suddenly thought of what happened last time, and he coughed and called out in a low voice, “Miss McKinney?” She only indifferently told him an address before she leaned into the corner of the seat and shut her eyes. After a while, she felt a shirt being used to cover her torso.

She neither moved nor spoke to him. Seeing her tilt her body and having her back toward him, Aidan instructed Jonathan to start driving. “Understood,” Jonathan replied. With how silent the car was the entire journey home, Aidan had a feeling that Leanna had really fallen asleep. As he quietly looked at her from the corner of his eye, he suddenly recalled the question she asked him earlier. Even though Little Pea was doing much better than at the beginning, there was still no guarantee that another accident wouldn’t happen again in the future. Aidan would send Little Pea back to Leanna after it was doing better after some time. Still, there was no point in letting her know all about this now.

Leanna must have felt the lingering gaze on her and she, initially like a person who was asleep, reached out a hand from the shirt and tugged it until it was covering her head. Aidan’s lips pressed into a thin line then, and he swiftly looked away. The car came to a stop outside the apartment half an hour later. At last, it was Jonathan who broke the deadly silence in the car. “We are here, Miss McKinney.” The person covered by the shirt moved, and she then peeled the shirt off her as she sat up. Leanna’s voice was very calm when she uttered her thanks. She then made a move to get out of the car. After she opened the car door, Aidan called out from behind. “You are not allowed to go tomorrow,” he demanded. Leanna’s temper immediately flared again when she heard his tone of voice, and she sassed, “I am going anyway!” She forcefully shut the door after throwing that out, and left without giving him another glance. Looking at her retreating figure, Aidan began to gnash his teeth angrily. … Zoe had waited at home for a long time and she was starting to panic when Leanna hadn’t gone home, and neither did she pick up her phone the whole night. The former was about to head out to look around when the door suddenly opened from outside instead. Zoe hurried over and when she saw it was Leanna, she asked, “Where were you, Nana? Where are your shoes?”

away.” “And you walked all the way back like this? It is almost snowing outside. You—” “I’m alright. I only walked up like this. I came back by car. I am going to take a shower first, Zoe.” Zoe quickly nodded in reply. “Sure, sure. Off you go. I will make some hot soup for you.” She was in the middle of boiling the soup when she heard a knock on the door. After she

met Elijah back when Elijah used to be a student in Europe. Her smile stayed plastered on her face when she put down her hand as something hit her. “Do you… want to come in and have a seat?” “It’s alright.” Daniel’s eyes swept across the room. He spoke again after a short pause. “You said that you lived with a friend, yeah?” “Yup. Didn’t Elijah mention my friend?” “He did.” And that is why I came to see her. It doesn’t look like she is home, though. Daniel looked away then, and was about to leave when he caught sight of a woman toweling her hair dry walking into the living room. “Zoe, who are you—” Leanna looked over mid-sentence, only to see Daniel at the door. Zoe then began to introduce them. “Nana, this is Elijah’s friend. He is also our neighbor. You and him

he would do. Daniel’s ringtone went off after a while. He accepted the call when he saw that it was from Elijah. “Georgina Crossley’s birthday party is next Wednesday. Everything has been arranged,” Elijah informed. “Got it.” Daniel then asked, “Is Aidan Pearson’s ex-wife the reason you forced me back here to do that?” Elijah only hissed, “She has a name.” “Ça va, my bad. I forgot to ask earlier.” Daniel only continued after a moment. “I am sure he will not be happy if he knew that you have gotten close with Aidan’s ex-wife.” “I will tell him someday.” “Whatever floats your boat. It doesn’t matter to me anyway. He will be back soon if things go as
