I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 213 A Long-Term Plan In the private room. The moment Aidan stepped into the room, the temperature seemed to drop several degrees lower. The air was tense and rather uncomfortable. One of the men seated around the poker table muttered, “What’s with President Pearson?” Oscar glanced at the man knocking back glasses of alcohol on the couch. “My guess is he got bitten.” What? “That wild, huh? I didn’t hear about President Pearson getting close to any woman recently, though,” one of the other men commented. Oscar smiled knowingly without saying anything. Just then, the door opened again, and the perpetrator who did the biting came in. He looked toward the door and was taken aback when he saw Leanna walk in. He didn’t think that Aidan would’ve been able to bring her here.

Aren’t they at loggerheads right now? After catching Oscar’s eye, Leanna nodded lightly in greeting. Then, she walked over to Aidan and sat down beside him. Oscar quirked his eyebrows and looked away. “Who’s that? She’s quite pretty. Is she a new model or celebrity that President Pearson’s investing in?” someone asked. Oscar shuffled the cards and answered off-handedly, “President Pearson’s ex-wife.” Everyone was dumbstruck. Didn’t Aidan hate his ex-wife? He finally managed to get a divorce, so why were they hanging out together again? All this while, Aidan sat in his corner without talking. Leanna sat there in silence as well. In any case, he only said that she needed to accompany him to the poker game. He didn’t say she had to do anything. She glanced at the people around Oscar.

She was startled for a moment, but she quickly came to. “I’m not drinking tonight.” Aidan seemed to chuckle in the darkness as he

not cross him. True to Oscar’s words, after a few rounds, Aidan suffered heavy losses. He flicked the cards and turned to Leanna. “Come here.” She walked over to the table, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, “I don’t know how to play.” “I don’t have any money either,” she added solemnly after a slight pause. She was not going to lose her hard-earned money to these evil capitalists. Even Aidan couldn’t say anything to that. Oscar chuckled and assured her, “It’s fine. President Pearson likes doing charity. Just recently, he started tree-planting projects all over the

time, she kept reminding herself that she was here to resolve an issue, and not to get into a fight with the b*stard. Before she could respond, however, the b*stard finally said something decent. “I’ll teach you.” “Fine,” she said in response. Perhaps it was thanks to being around a gambling addict like Jethro that Leanna had never shown any interest in poker games. She didn’t know what was fun about it. Throughout the whole game, she was like a mindless robot that carried out Aidan’s instructions to the letter, doing whatever he told her to. However, ever since she sat down in the chair, the tides seemed to turn in her favor. She won several rounds in a row, and the atmosphere around the table became even more exciting, but she was getting drowsy. “Use that card.” It was unclear whether it was Aidan who failed to point at the right card, or if it was Leanna who misunderstood him, but when she took out the card that she thought Aidan meant and attempted to place it down on the table, someone caught her hand midway. His palm was warm and dry. The moment it wrapped around her hand, she felt as if she had been burnt. Her drowsiness vanished, and she immediately wanted to pull away from him. Before she could, however, Aidan had already released her.
