I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 245

Leanna didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she realized the sky was pitch black.

She sat up and wanted to move her tight neck to hear the sounds of it popping. Crack. Crack

She massaged her neck as she opened her office door and went out. "Louis, help me get the first aid kit out. There's some ointment inside. I think I sprained my—"

Before she finished her sentence, she saw the man sitting on the couch.

Suddenly, not only did her neck hurt, her head started to ache.

Aidan slowly looked up at her. "You're awake?"

She asked him, "Why are you here, President Pearson?"

He looked at the gift on the table. "I saw that you liked the pictures from last time. So, I got it photocopied. I'll let you have the original pictures."

"Thanks, but no thanks."

Where did he see that she liked it?

Aidan got up and strolled over to her with his long legs. "I remembered someone once told me that if a woman said she didn't want something, it means that she wanted it and that I should look for the person who said those words."

Leanna snickered, "Could it be Mia or Georgina? I didn't say that."

He stopped in his tracks and looked at her gloomily.

She didn't want to entertain him and went to look for the ointment in the utility room.

However, she didn't expect the first aid kit to be placed on the highest rack. Now that she sprained her neck, she couldn't reach it even when she tried to tip-toe.

She was about to grab a chair when a man's long arm was propped on the rack beside her while another hand passed her head to easily retrieve the first aid kit.

Leanna turned around and backed into the rack.

B*stard, why you gotta get so close to grab it?

Aidan returned her stance with a raised eyebrow. "What are you scared of?"

"W-Who's scared?" Leanna stuttered, but did not want to argue with him further. She snatched the first aid kit from his hands and returned to her office to lock the door in an attempt to prevent him from going near her.

She took off the jacket and tilted her head before spraying some ointment with one hand pulling down her collar. When she wanted to reach up and massage the area, she realized that she would tug on the muscle when she moved her shoulders because of her sprained neck. So, massaging it didn't relieve the pain and made it worse.

When she started to get frustrated, she heard something on the door. Knock. Knock. Then, Aidan's voice came through the door. "Do you need help?"

"No!"

"If so, I'm leaving."

Will you leave already? Ugh.

After sulking alone for some time, Leanna placed the ointment back into the first aid kit and grabbed her jacket with the thought of going to the hospital to check her neck.

However, she saw Aidan, who said he was going to leave, leaning against the wall and looking at her when she opened the door.

She snapped at him. "Didn't you say you were leaving, President Pearson?"

He replied without missing a beat, "Didn't you ask me to stay?"

"When did I…." Leanna realized what he was hinting at. "So, you heard my inner thoughts again?"

"Yeah."

Aidan grabbed her wrist and led her into the office before he mentioned for her to sit. He took out the ointment and sat at the edge of the table. "What else can you do besides scolding me? You can't even handle a small thing like this."

She replied, "I'm the type that discovers my potential depending on the people I meet."

Scoffing, he tugged at the collar of her sweater, but she instinctively backed up.

He grabbed onto the chair's handle and easily pulled her in. "Don't be so dramatic. Keep your energy for other things."

He remarked as he pulled on her collar again and sprayed the ointment on her neck after that.

The sudden cold made Leanna furrow her brow. When she wanted to say something, Aidan had reached out his palm and gently rubbed her neck, leaving no questions to be asked.

After a while, he asked, "You went back today?"

Even though he didn't specify where it was, it was obvious what he was talking about.

Leanna pursed her lips, but didn't answer.

Then, Aidan continued softly, "I asked you before. If you really like the baby, we can secretly take it away. But it's not possible now."

She didn't answer him.

"Well, there's one thing that we could do. I can work a little harder and give you another baby."

Leanna gritted her teeth. "Can you shut up?"

Aidan's hands stopped moving as his palm rested on her neck and he leaned in with his dark eyes. "I'm serious. Why don't you consider it?"

"Haven't you said that you're not thinking of having a child for at least two years, President Pearson?" she snickered. "You just want to sleep with me. You don't need to look for these high-sounding excuses."
