I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 254

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the apartment entrance and Leanna hopped out. When she wanted to walk in, she saw the b*stard's car parked by the side of the street.

How did he manage to get here before me? she wondered, pouting her lips unwittingly as the door of the Rolls-Royce swung open and the tall, well-built figure of a man appeared before her eyes.

Nonchalantly, Aidan cast her a look. "Why did you leave so fast?"

"To have dinner at home," she answered with a straight face.

"Well, I haven't eaten as well. Let's have dinner together."

Dumbstruck, she said in annoyance, "Don't you have a home for yourself?"

Aidan turned around and he paced forward leisurely. "It's only a home when the place has your family. Otherwise, it's just a cold house."

"Are you studying kinship recently, President Pearson?"

Ignoring her, he stood at the entrance to the building and stuck his hand into his pocket. Then, he tilted his head, gesturing for her to open the door.

Taking a deep breath, she took out the access card from her purse, and after the door was opened, he held the door open to let her in first.

"I didn't know that you had a gentlemanly side to you," Leanna said.

His eyebrow shot up. "That depends on the recipient."

A soft snort escaped her mouth, and she walked past him to go in. After stepping out of the elevator, she keyed in the password for the lock and Zoe's voice boomed from inside when she pushed the door open. "Nana, how was your date with Elijah tonight? Did you—"

Zoe stopped mid sentence when she caught sight of the man behind Leanna.

She chuckled dryly a couple of times and turned around. "Why am I sleepy all of a sudden? I'm going to bed now!"

Then, she dashed into the bedroom without looking back.

In the living room, Louis also kept away his laptop silently, picked up his bag, and said, "I'm leaving now."

Holding her forehead, Leanna let out a long sigh. When both of them had left, she said, "Now you know how unwelcomed you are, don't you?"

"Are you sure that they left because they didn't welcome me?" he asked.

Catching the meaning behind his words, she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't be bothered to argue with him. So, she took off her jacket and headed straight for the kitchen.

Checking the fridge, she saw that there was only some cheese left. Since she didn't plan to serve him any delicacies, so be it, and carbonara spaghetti came out of the kitchen ten minutes later.

When she came out, Aidan was already seated at the dining table.

Placing the plate in front of him, she warned him seriously, "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm allowing you to have dinner here because I've been a free-loader at Ms. Fletcher's place for quite a few days. There's no other meaning behind this."

Smirking, Aidan said, "Yeah, I know."

Hearing the extremely perfunctory few words from the b*stard, Leanna suddenly had the feeling that she shouldn't have explained herself because it didn't save her from anything at all.

She went into the kitchen again and came out with her own pasta before taking a seat diagonally across from him.

"Is that all you're eating?" he asked while looking at her.

Without lifting her head, Leanna simply answered, "I'm on a diet."

"Why are you having pasta when you're on a diet?"

Expressionless, she met his eyes. "You can leave if you don't want to eat. You're affecting my appetite."

"I'm just worried that you'll be hungry later in the night," he said.

Leanna's temples throbbed. How many times have I told him that I ate a lot that time because I was pregnant? Why does that b*stard make it seem like I'm a pig that's always hungry?

Seeing that she was about to lose her temper, Aidan said gently, "Bon appetit. I won't speak anymore."

The whole night, Leanna didn't eat a bite and even drank a little, so her stomach was feeling uneasy, but she immediately felt much better after having a plate of warm pasta.

The second she placed down her fork, Aidan said, "Why did you start a fight with Georgina today?"

Leanna probably didn't expect him to ask this out of the blue, and she only spoke after keeping mum for a few seconds. "She mocked me. Am I not allowed to talk back?"

"You used to be able to tolerate it quite well, didn't you?"

"I can tolerate it once, twice, and even thrice, but I'm not Saint Mary."

Aidan was quiet for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.

Initially, she had said it as the words just rolled out of her tongue smoothly, but she didn't expect that he would actually laugh, making her so embarrassed that her ears burned. "W-What's so funny? I'm just telling it like it is."

With one hand, he covered his mouth and cleared his throat as he wiped the smile off his face. "Yes, you're right," he said in a husky voice.
