Chapter 248

Leanna awkwardly touched her neck and coughed. "Um. I'll take a shower now."

Zoe looked at her and felt something was fishy. If she guessed it right, that b*stard must have taken advantage of Leanna again.

Soon, the delivery Leanna ordered arrived.

When Leanna exited the shower, Zoe just started eating and asked, "Do you want some, Nana?"

"Nope. It's all for you." She dried her hair as she walked to her room, but suddenly thought of something and turned around to sit on the couch. "Zoe, have you heard about the class reunion?"

She replied, "Yea. I think it was Maya who organized it. She probably wants to show off her husband who works as an executive. We don't need to go."

Leanna nodded. "Okay."

When she returned to her room, she sent a message to Elijah telling him that she and Zoe would not be attending the reunion.

Then, he called her soon after.

He warmly asked her, "Leanna, are you back in Highside?"

"Yeah. I got back yesterday."

"If you've got nothing this weekend, I've got two tickets for a Broadway show. Let's watch it."

"Elijah." She pressed her lips together before rejecting. "I don't like watching broadway shows. You should watch it with someone else."

On the other end of the phone, he was quiet for a few seconds then insisted, "It's okay if you don't like Broadway shows. We can watch something else. There are a few nice movies that just premiered. We—"

"It's okay." Leanna continued. "I'm really grateful to you for helping me, but I'm sorry. I think I have to be clear with you—"


Elijah interrupted her. "Leanna, I know what you're going to say. You don't need to feel sorry for me. Everything is of my own accord. I just hope that you'll give me a chance and not decide so fast."

She looked out the window. "The problem is with me. I probably will never…"

"If you decide to get back together with Aidan, then I will give you my best wishes. However, I will never give up before that happens."

"Elijah…" Leanna didn't know what else to say.

He then continued, "Don't feel pressured, Leanna. I just want to fight for my happiness. I let it slip past my fingers a few years ago and I don't want that mistake to repeat itself."

After hanging up the phone, she sat on the bed pondering.

Soon, her phone rang. It was Louis asking if she had returned home.

After he moved out of Daniel's house, he was still staying in the same apartment, but in a different unit.

Leanna answered him, "I'm back."

Then, she asked, "Where did you go? Did you just get back?"

He took his time to answer, "Daphne came looking for you at the studio."

"Then?"

"I saw that you were sleeping, so I went out to eat with her."

A smile flashed across her face. "Is that so?"

Then, he explained, "Didn't you say that she suffered a huge loss because of me? So, I had to thank her."

She encouraged him, "Yes. I did say that. You did a good job."

He didn't say anything else.

So, Leanna bid goodnight. "Alright. It's late. You should rest."

However, Louis had questions. "Aidan came looking for you, didn't he?"

"How did you know?"

"I guessed it."

She scraped her nose with her fingers and tried to explain, "He was here to hand me something."

Luckily, Louis didn't interrogate further and just acknowledged it and hung up.

Hearing the beeping sounds from the phone, she let out a long breath.

She hugged the pillow and lay on her stomach gazing to the front as her mind was in scrambles.
