I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 230

Chapter 230

The snow that fell overnight covered the resort in a white mist. The good weather that appeared days ago seemed to be a distant memory now. Elijah was helping Leanna into the car. Before they left, she turned around and vaguely saw the villa in the mountains.

Elijah looked in the direction she was staring at, and he pursed his lips. "Time to go."

She looked away and nodded before getting in the car.

After they were gone, Jonathan knocked on Aidan's door. "Sir, Mr. Parker and the madam have left," he said.

Aidan grunted and got up. "Let's go."

Jonathan followed. "Sir, we've received news about the Zielinskies' plan. They're going to send Miss Anna overseas in about two days. Through the Crossleys, of course. Itinerary unknown."

Aidan sneered. "So there's the continuation of their little show."

"Sir, you're saying…"

"Sienna's strength lies in her family. Do you think she's going to go against them just for Anna?"

What happened back at the house was just a show for me. Anna managed to leave with the Crossleys helping her, and it's all thanks to Sienna.

Jonathan got what Aidan was saying. "I've told the men to keep an eye on Miss Anna the moment she leaves the Zielinski Residence."

After a short pause, Aidan asked, "What about Lloyd? Any news on him?"

"Mr. Crossley has been acting weird lately. He's looking into the case of… the madam's father."

Aidan stopped in his tracks and frowned. "Jethro?"

"Yes," Jonathan said. "And one more thing, sir. When I was investigating Lloyd, I found out that his underling paid a private investigator a big sum of money recently. The last client of this investigator was the madam's brother, who went to some magazine publishers to post a missing persons poster."


"Let me see the photo."

Jonathan whipped his phone out and handed it to Aidan.

The photo showed a young girl of about two or three years old sitting in the center. He enlarged the photo and realized the girl looked just like a mini version of Leanna. The woman who held her looked a little like Leanna too. However, the man who got his face blurred out was obviously not Jethro.

Aidan narrowed his eyes. "Did Lloyd start looking into Jethro's case before or after Louis posted the missing persons notice?"

"After," Jonathan answered.

A few moments later, Aidan handed the phone back to Jonathan and walked ahead. "Keep an eye on Lloyd and see what he's up to."

"Yes, sir."

A moment of silence later, Aidan continued, "Leanna's not Jethro's real daughter. I want you to find out who the other people in the photo are."

That reply caught Jonathan by surprise.

They were standing in front of the elevator, and Aidan put his hand in his pocket. "Surprised?" He looked at Jonathan.

"No. I…"

"Of course she's not his daughter. That b*stard can't sire someone like her."

Jonathan nodded. "I'll tell my men to do it right away."

…

Leanna was finally back at her condominium. Zoe helped her out of the car before looking at Elijah. "Thanks for giving her a ride home. Wanna come up?"

Elijah shook his head with a smile. "Sorry, but I have work to do." He looked at Leanna. "You need to get that looked at, Leanna. Don't want to get any infections now."

Leanna nodded. "I know. Thank you."

Elijah said, "I'll… be going now. You ladies go home."

When he was gone, Zoe finally helped Leanna upstairs. She asked curiously, "Hey, I feel like you guys are getting a bit distant with each other. What happened?"

Leanna smiled, but she said nothing.

Zoe continued, "Hey, you didn't tell me what happened last night either. What did that arse do to you?"

Leanna gave it some thought and whipped a piece of chocolate out of her bag. She unwrapped it and popped the candy into her friend's mouth. "What do you think?"

Zoe chewed on it, and her eyes shone. "Whoa, this is good. Where did you get it?"

"It's a gift from Aidan.

Zoe understood what she was saying, and she kept quiet. All she did was slowly swallow the chocolate.

Leanna wasn't reluctant to tell her anything, but she had no idea how to word this. Or more precisely, she had no idea what to do with Aidan.
