I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 196 Give Him a Chance As soon as Louis spoke up, there was no doubt about what everyone thought of Aidan. As someone who was used to feeling awkward on behalf of other people, Leanna felt very uneasy. However, Aidan acted as if he had heard nothing, as though their dislike for him was not clear. Seeing that, Leanna could not resist scratching her forehead from embarrassment. Why did Aidan insist on forcing himself over when he knew that none of them wanted him here? He was so annoying. Just as he picked up his cutlery, Leanna hurriedly took some kitchen towels to blot the oil away from his food. “Please make do for now, President Pearson. Do not force yourself if you cannot stomach…” “When did I say I could not stomach this?” Aidan then picked up the food on his plate and ate it without hesitation. Leanna frowned.

When they realized she was staring at them, they hurriedly cleared their throats and looked away. Some turned to their food while the others took sips of their drinks. She pursed her lips. In the end, she said nothing either. It did not matter. The more she tried to explain herself, the more guilty she would look.

Go!” As she said that, she gave him a push before dragging Daniel with her into the kitchen. Daniel protested, “I don’t know how to…” “You can learn. Come, I will teach you. How can you come for a meal and do nothing?” Back in the living room, Leanna was clearing the table. Aidan was about to offer his help when Louis dragged him away. “Let’s have a chat.” “What about?” Aidan asked, turning to look at him.

sorry,” she said, shooting him an apologetic smile. “I have something I need to talk to Leanna about. I need to borrow her for a while.” She then dragged Leanna away. Soon, he was the only person left in the room.

Did you not see how he looked at you? How different is his gaze? There is also President Pearson. There was so much jealousy flying in the air. If we had not all been talking, they might have been fighting in the end.” Leanna pursed her lips and kept quiet. “Leanna, pardon me for saying this,” Daphne said, “although I am not sure what exactly happened between you and President Pearson, I know him quite well after having worked for him for so long.
