Chapter 178 It's Not Like You Never Cared for Madam A frown appeared on Elijah's face when he heard Leanna's words."Should we go to the hospital?" he asked. "No, no.

an old sickness. I will be fine after a short

I can go there myself. You should go back into the hall." He let out a smile at that. "It just so happens that I feel a little stuffy being in there, and I want to come out for a stroll. Let me walk you to the exit." Leanna couldn't refuse anymore after hearing his words, so the two walked outside together. Elijah spoke again after a while. "Leanna, if you're free tomorrow night, can I invite you to dinner?" She thought about it, and feeling somewhat embarrassed to abruptly leave like this today, she suggested, "I do have time, but let me buy you dinner instead. I am really sorry about today." "Don't worry about it. You really don't have to take it to heart." "Alright, I will let Zoe know when I get home. We will see you tomorrow." Leanna smiled at him. However, Elijah suddenly murmured, "Leanna, I want it to be just the two of us tomorrow. Don't ask Zoe to come along." Upon hearing that, Leanna was slightly startled and she froze. Meanwhile, Elijah observed her reaction and asked tentatively, "Is that okay?" Just as she was unable to come up with a response, a cold male voice came from behind them. "No." Hearing this, Elijah turned around, only to call out in surprise, "President Pearson?" Aidan walked to Leanna and stood beside her, his eyes shifting to Elijah as he spoke. "She has plans for tomorrow." "What plans do I have?" Leanna was the one who questioned. Seemingly dissatisfied with her not going along with him, Aidan immediately pursed his lips and peered at her from the corner of his eye. "Just know that you do because I said so," he muttered. She let out a forced laugh at that. She then smiled at Elijah and said, "Sure. Let's do it." Elijah seemed surprised at first, but he soon nodded. "I will come pick you up tomorrow, then." With a smile, she bid him farewell. "I am off. I'll see you tomorrow." Leanna then turned around and started to march away after saying that. Aidan was about to go after her when someone grabbed him by the arm. Upon being stopped, he sneered, "Let go." "Can I ask what are you doing now, President Pearson?" Elijah asked. "It has got nothing to do with you." "Why do you think so? I believe that you can tell I am pursuing Leanna. I can compete fairly with you if you are also pursuing her, but please stop acting so overbearingly. I hope you show her some respect, President Pearson." When Aidan heard that, he looked back at Elijah and chuckled coldly. "Who told you that I am pursuing her?" "If you are not, can you give a good explanation for your behavior?" Elijah asked in return. "Sure." Aidan then said slowly, "Let me remind you too that Leanna is my wife, President Parker. Please stay away from her." A small voice interrupted them right at this moment. "Ex-wife, you mean." When Aidan wordlessly looked over, Zoe immediately turned away and looked at everything but him as she pretended that nothing happened. There was no way anyone could break up the couple she had paired together! "So that is how it is." Elijah let out a chuckle, which prompted Aidan to look at him again. "Will you still continue sticking around now that you know what our relationship is, President Parker?" Elijah only commented, "I've heard that you have a wife whom you don't treat like one. Could it be that you are regretting it after the divorce? In my opinion, the person who is relentlessly sticking around is you, President Pearson." Aidan's expression gradually started to darken as he looked at Elijah coldly. Elijah then continued, "I am truly grateful that you are telling me this. I finally know what Leanna has had to go through in the past. In the future, I will treat her way
