I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 240

Chapter 240

Aidan's dark eyes glinted as he looked at her. Then, he said without warning, "They're gone now. If you still want it, I can line up with you."

"It's okay. I was just kidding."

She just wanted to piss the b*stard off on purpose so that he would get mad and leave the love lock alone.

However, she did not expect him to behave so unusually and she felt rather awkward about it now.

Aidan's thin lips curved ever so slightly as he held her hand again before walking forward slowly.

When he secured the lock on the bridge, Leanna was scanning her surroundings, trying to hide the nervousness and remorse she felt inside her.

After the lock was attached, Leanna said, "It's getting late now. I should leave. You can stay behind on your own if you want to, President Pearson."

With that, she hurriedly strode away.

Leaving the love lock bridge, Leanna felt that even the air was fresher now that the crowd had thinned. She let out a long breath, then took her phone to hail a ride back when someone grasped her wrist. "Here."

Leanna pouted. She had been running so fast, but the b*stard still managed to catch up to her.

After the extended delay at the love lock bridge, it was 10.00PM by the time they went back to Underwood Lane.

In the past, Naomi would have been asleep at that hour.

Yet today, the lights in the yard were shining brightly as a baby's cries could be heard in the house.

Hearing that, Leanna hastily ran in.

In the yard, Naomi was holding the baby in her arms as she coaxed him.

"Ms. Fletcher, what happened to him?" asked Leanna.

Naomi answered, "It's okay, all babies are like this at night. They'll make a fuss, so you just have to put them to sleep."

"Let me carry him." Leanna reached out after which Naomi passed the baby into her arms.

After a while of coaching, the baby's cries dwindled, but there were still a few uncontrollable sobs.

With the child in her arms, she asked, "Where's Ms. Shaffer?"

Naomi instantly answered, "She caught a cold when we went out this afternoon. She feared that the baby might catch it too, so she wanted me to help her look after him for the night."

Hearing that, Leanna did not doubt her words at all.

Naomi and Wendy had always been close friends. They rarely had their own relatives visiting them, so they were like family at this point. Hence, it was normal for them to help each other out.

Leanna nodded as she thought, No wonder the baby is wailing so much. He must've realized that his own grandmother isn't here.

After holding him for a while, Leanna noticed that the baby's round gaze was glued to the side and his hands were waving in the air.

She looked in the direction of his gaze, then licked her lips as she stepped forward. "President Pearson, why don't you hold him for a bit?"

Aidan frowned as reluctance scrambled all over his face.

Leanna pleaded, "Just for a bit. Look how cute he is."

The man slightly raised his gaze while saying steadily, "Not as cute as you."

Remaining silent, Leanna blushed so much that even her neck reddened and she felt as if her entire body was on fire.

In the distance, Naomi coughed upon making up an excuse to retire to her room.

Seeing that, Leanna felt so embarrassed that she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

As Aidan reached out, she immediately took a few steps backward and warned, "What are you doing?"

"You wanted me to hold him, right?" He raised his eyebrows.

Leanna took a long while to answer, "Oh."

The b*stard had interrupted her thoughts.

As such, she carefully placed the baby in his arms while whispering, "Support his head with this hand and your other hand should support his butt."

"I know."

Leanna paused for a bit as she saw how Aidan was actually holding the baby in the perfect posture, a stark contrast to his stiffness when he was changing the diapers earlier. She looked at him suspiciously. "How do you know, President Pearson? Have you held a child before?"

He looked calmly at her. "You said I know everything, didn't you?"

Indeed, she did.

Leanna coughed. "Then, hold him for a little longer. I'm moving the things inside."

With that, she hastily moved the things from the yard into the house.

Soon, Aidan walked in with the baby, but his expression was grim.

Leanna quickly looked in Aidan's arms. The baby's tightly clenched fists were relaxing and a smile had returned to his face as his tiny arms waved about happily.

By the looks of his posture, he must have pooped again.

Leanna suppressed her laugh as she said in all seriousness, "President Pearson, I think he likes you a lot."

Yet before Aidan could get angry, she instantly took the baby from his arms, then went to look for Naomi.
