I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 214 Words of Apology Lack Sincerity Maybe it was Aidan’s unrelenting pressure that pushed Leanna toward Elijah. Thus, he had to change his game plan. Oscar snickered. “Then… good luck.” Aidan glanced at him in displeasure. “Is that how you look like when you’re wishing someone good luck?” Oscar wanted to roll his eyes. “I think your new method doesn’t work either, Aidan. And it boils down to you not knowing how a woman thinks.” “But I know what Leanna is thinking,” Aidan replied. Well, he does have a point, Oscar thought. … Leanna came out of the stall and got some tissues to wipe her hand. She was just about to leave the washroom when someone brushed past her. Then, she heard a woman’s voice calling out behind her, “Leanna McKinney?” She stopped in her track and turned around. Maya was startled at first, but she soon crossed her arms and eyed Leanna imperiously. “What are you doing here? Did you come with Elijah Parker?” “No.” “How odd then.

This is an expensive place. Don’t tell me you’re here with friends.” Maya’s derisive tone made it clear that she turned her nose up at Leanna. “It has nothing to do with you,” Leanna responded calmly. Maya didn’t expect her to respond like that. Her expression shifted, and she scoffed, “I was just reminding you out of the kindness of my heart. Perhaps you didn’t know, but the alcohol here starts at four figures. I’m worried that all your hard-earned money would be wasted in one night. After all, people in the service industry like you have a hard time making money.” “So, after saying all that, what you mean is you’ll treat me to a drink tonight?” Maya gulped. She couldn’t think of anything to say in response. Her husband had a gathering with his friends here tonight. She had to plead with him for ages before he relented and allowed her to come along with him. She had barely squeezed her way into this place, so she was in no position to buy a drink for Leanna. Leanna noticed her reaction and chuckled. “Just focus on yourself. Don’t butt your nose into other people’s business.”

him?” Before Leanna could respond, Maya continued, “People should learn to move on in life. You didn’t meet someone good. That’s why your marriage failed. I looked into the guy for you this time. Although he has two kids, he’s a decent and honest man. Most importantly, he dotes on his wife a lot, and his salary’s not too shabby either. Once you get together with him, you’ll just need to stay home and look after the kids. Doesn’t he sound great? I wouldn’t introduce him to just anyone, you know.” “Since he’s so great, you can have him.” “Why, you—” Leanna didn’t bother to stick around for her. She threw the tissue in the trash can and left. Maya stomped her feet in

you just come back tomorrow instead?” She pressed her lips together and retrieved her purse. “Since it’s over, I’ll take my leave then.” “Come here.” She didn’t move. “Did you still need something, President Pearson?” “Sit down,” he stated plainly. After a pause, Leanna sat down three feet away from him. Aidan shoved a glass toward her. “Try this.” “No thanks. I’m not drinking any alcohol,” she said. “It’s sweet, and it has a low percentage of alcohol content.” She looked at him warily—she didn’t trust him very much. “If I wanted to do something to you, would I need to come up with an excuse?” Aidan asked. B*stard. Though, he did have a point. The b*stard was pretty cold to her today. Maybe it was just as he said. His patience ran out.

down, Aidan pushed another one over. She was less inclined to cooperate this time. Isn’t he pushing it a bit? “As I said, if you have something to ask of someone else, you should act like it. To prevent you from turning around and lashing out at me in the future, and to prevent you from owing me another favor, let’s settle things now,” he stated coolly. Leanna took a deep breath. Fine. She downed several more glasses in a row and felt like she needed to use the washroom again. However, she didn’t expect the room to start spinning as soon as she tried to stand. Her head was heavy. She felt dizzy and sank back down onto the couch. Her pretty eyes flickered as she stared blankly in front of her. Aidan rested his hand against the table and propped his head up to stare at her. It was as if he had been waiting for this to happen. His eyebrows quirked up, and he called out softly, “Leanna.” She turned toward him with a clueless expression. “Do you still remember who I am?” he asked calmly. Leanna paused a bit before answering, “I’m drunk, not daft.” “Is that so?” She took her purse and tried to stand again, but she couldn’t move at all. Just as she finally managed to stand up with the help of the table, someone grabbed her wrist, and with a slight pull, she crashed right back down. This time, she didn’t fall onto the couch. Instead, she
