I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 262

Zoe continued her analysis. "Elijah will most likely be with his parents. So, the only probable one would be Aidan."

All this thinking was giving Leanna a headache.

This wasn't the first time that b*stard had done such an unsolicited thing.

Brushing it off, she heaved a sigh. "Let's just eat."

As there was nothing to do in the studio for the upcoming two days, she had decided to give everyone a day off in advance and allowed them to go back to celebrate the New Year's ahead of time.

When shopping for New Year's goods, she had never thought she would bump into an acquaintance.

Mia was snuggled up in the arms of a chubby middle-aged man. She was caught off guard when she noticed Leanna. Immediately, she frowned. "What are you doing here alone?"

Leanna smiled. "Who else should I come here with, if not alone? Should I bring a ghost?"

That would definitely scare everyone to death.

Mia's face changed when she heard this. "No. What I meant was, why isn't President Pearson with you?"

"Why would he be with me?"

"Isn't he pinning after you?"

Leanna had no rebuttals this time.

In turn, the middle-aged man next to Mia spoke up, "Mia, who is this?"

"Oh, this is President Pearson's ex-wife. This woman has been the hot topic of the Internet."

His eyes lingered on Leanna a little longer before he spoke again in a suggestive manner, "It seems like President Pearson is very blessed."

As he said this, his phone started ringing. The middle-aged man frowned as a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes. Then, he said, "Excuse me while I take this call."

Mia immediately let go of his hand and reasonably said, "Go ahead."

After he left, she looked back at Leanna with a disdainful smile on her face. "Who would've thought that after everything you did to get him to marry you, he loathed you instead? Then, after finally getting a divorce, he decided to come running back."

"Maybe this is the twist of fate."

Mia let out a light snort. "Don't you celebrate too early, though. You know how President Pearson is. His taste is always changing. He divorced you so easily after marrying you, yet now, he is suddenly chasing you again out of nowhere. Who knows what he wants this time? Who knows when he'll disappear again? You better not get carried away by him."

"Thank you for reminding me," Leanna replied. As she said that, she glanced at the middle-aged man, who was still on the phone not far away. "I also have a piece of advice for you. Don't always think about destroying other people's relationships. One is more likely to be influenced when immersed in such an environment."

However, it seemed like Mia didn't take what Leanna said to heart as she crossed her arms. "We're just benefitting off each other right now. Even if it isn't me that's standing beside him today, it'd be another woman. Do you think these rich b*stards can stand being alone? If the women at home don't please them enough, what's stopping them from finding another woman outside? As the saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side…"

Leanna smiled lightly but did not speak.

What Mia said made a lot of sense.

Sure enough, all these b*stards were the same.

Leanna did not plan on continuing the conversation with Mia, so she gave a quick reply, "Then, I wish you luck."

After Leanna walked away, Mia watched her back as a trace of unwillingness and jealousy flashed across Mia's eyes.

She was originally a highly-sought model signed to Pearson Group with a bright future. However, since her contract with Pearson Group was terminated, no other companies dared to sign her. Thus, she could only opt for the acting industry and acted in some low-cost web dramas.

Her career had plummeted.

In turn, she had to depend on men like the middle-aged man to survive.

As for Leanna, she did nothing, yet she managed to get Aidan wrapped around her fingers again.

What did Leanna have that she didn't?

When the middle-aged man came back after his call, he looked around and asked, "Did President Pearson's wife leave?"

Immediately, Mia took his arms and teased him coquettishly, "What's wrong? Are you interested in her?"

The middle-aged man smiled and put his arm around her shoulder. "Everyone likes attractive people, but I don't have President Pearson's ability to marry such a beautiful wife."

"Although President Pearson married her willingly, she played a lot of tricks to get her this far," she said.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You're asking so much about her. It seems like you're really interested in her."

The middle-aged man laughed. "What are you talking about? I'm just curious about President Pearson."

However, his thoughts began to wander about how Leanna would act in bed. From the looks of her face and figure, she must be enchanting.

When Mia noticed the explicit look in his eyes, she immediately knew what he was thinking about and lightly said, "Then, you've definitely not heard about how much President Pearson hates her. He couldn't even stand to hear her name."

This was news to the middle-aged man. "Didn't you just say that he is chasing her?"

"I'm sure it's just a whim. If President Pearson really liked her, why would he have divorced her in the first place?"

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes as he answered thoughtfully, "So, that's the case."

…

After Leanna left the mall, she met up with Zoe, who had been shopping for other things.
