Chapter 197 I’m Not a Quitter Leanna was in no mood to engage in nonsense with him. “Whatever.” “Leanna, do you have feelings for Elijah?” Aidan asked while holding her shoulders. She went silent for a moment before asking with a frown, “What sort of question is this?” “Answer me.” After a few seconds, she replied, “I don’t.” He exerted force on her shoulder and asked slowly, “Then, do you like me?” “President Pearson, why did you stop me here to ask such lame questions?” “How are they lame?” At that moment, she raised her tone and yelled, “Everything is lame!

Despite the fact that… At that point, Leanna sighed, not wanting to revisit the past anymore. “I know you have feelings for me and you can’t deny it, Leanna,” Aidan asserted. “So what?” she asked calmly and continued, “President Pearson, we’re both grown-ups. There’s more to life than just dating and love. Let me tell you the truth, then; I never expected us to reconcile from the moment I filed for divorce.” Speechless, he pursed his lips and gulped. “I understand the way I forced you into marriage with a child is disgusting, so it is natural for you to despise me.
