I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 237

Aidan's expression was way beyond foul at this point. His voice sounded like it was forced through gritted teeth as he said, "Leanna, you'd better not take things for granted."

She took a step backward and passed this very challenging mission to him. "Then, you do it. I'll dispose of it."

Aidan glanced at the little mischief on the couch, who was kicking his feet with some residue still sticking on his buttocks. He closed his eyes, suppressed his temper, then reached out and took the soiled diapers from Leanna. Soon, he turned around to look for a garbage can to toss it in.

"President Pearson, please fetch some hot water in a basin." Leanna's voice sounded from within the house.

With that, she began looking for wet tissues and clean diapers on the table.

Two minutes later, Aidan came in with a small basin while proceeding to place it on the coffee table in front of her.

She dipped the wet tissues in hot water, then lifted the baby's legs and began wiping his buttocks.

When she passed the used tissues to him, Aidan had already punted the garbage can next to her with his foot.

Seeing that, Leanna could not help but pout.

As she was wiping the baby's buttocks, she tossed the diapers to Aidan. "Don't just stand there. Help me figure out how to use this thing."

Aidan reached out and caught the item that fell in his arms. He looked down at it and his thin lips were almost forming a straight line.

Inhaling a deep breath in, he finally took out his phone from his pocket after a few seconds. His long fingers swiped and tapped on the screen as he began reading in earnest while frowning.

Soon enough, Leanna was done with wiping the baby's buttocks. She turned around and asked, "President Pearson, have you figured it out?"

Aidan tossed his phone aside and stepped forward with his long legs. "Move."

Realizing that he was about to do it himself, she hastily cleared a spot for him.

Aidan was indeed undeniably smart; he only had to skim through the tutorial once to learn how to change diapers. Although his actions were rather stiff, he successfully completed the task in the end.

When he was done changing the diaper, Leanna put the pants on the baby.

After everything was settled, she held the baby in her arms, then looked at Aidan and asked casually, "President Pearson, do you want to hold him for a bit?"

"No." His rejection was cold.

"I see. Then, could you help me prepare some formula for him? He just emptied his belly, so he's probably hungry now." Leanna continued, "Right, just now, Ms. Shaffer said that you have to use warm water, and you only need an ounce and a half. I believe you won't run into much trouble with a simple task like this."

Aidan stayed silent.

The corners of Leanna's lips turned up as she smiled radiantly.

At that moment, the sun shone through the clouds and spilled faintly onto the floor.

There was a spot in the yard where one could catch the sun.

"I'll leave this to you, President Pearson. We'll be waiting for you outside," said Leanna.

As she said that, she did not even give Aidan a chance to decline as she carried the baby into the yard. She placed him in the cradle, then pushed it under the sunlight.

The baby seemed to enjoy such weather as well. His little arms waved about in the air and he kicked his feet happily.

Leanna lightly touched his little face as the smile on her lips never once faded.

He's so tiny. I'm sure he's barely a month old.

Some time later, an icy-cold Aidan came over with a milk bottle.

"Thank you, President Pearson." Leanna took it and smiled sweetly.

He quietly clicked his tongue, but his gaze remained on her face, for he was unwilling to look away.

When Leanna sensed his passionate gaze, she felt a little uncomfortable. Hiding under the excuse of feeding the baby, she hastily turned around.

The baby must be starving, as he began drinking as soon as he wrapped his hands around the bottle. Soon, the bottle was emptied out.

As Leanna was wiping the milk from his face, Aidan's voice sounded from behind her. "Have you thought of a good name for him?"

"No, I haven't. Do you have any suggestions, President Pearson?"

"This is your mission, not mine."

Leanna fell silent as she put the bottle aside. "I need time to think, don't I? I'm not some name generator."

"But you're quick on your feet when you're insulting people," said Aidan.

Leanna turned around to glare at him. She was about to say something when he picked up the bottle she placed aside, then hastily strode into the kitchen.

I don't insult people willingly, had it not been because of you!

Also, his insults are much worse than mine.

When it was almost noon, Naomi and Wendy finally returned.

Wendy gathered her things and was about to head home when Leanna called her, "Ms. Shaffer, aren't you bringing the baby with you?"

"Oh, thanks for the reminder. I almost forgot, the child…" Wendy patted herself on the head.

As she spoke, she sent another SOS signal at Naomi.

Naomi added calmly, "Ms. Shaffer would be rather inconvenienced if she takes care of the child alone. Now that you're here, you can help look after him for a while longer." With that, she looked at Wendy. "Do stay for lunch. You won't have to make so many trips then."

Hearing that, Wendy nodded repeatedly and followed Naomi into the kitchen. She said to Leanna and Aidan, "Sorry for the trouble."
