Chapter 275

Aidan uttered, "I can tell you anything you want to know."

"If you intended to tell me the truth, you wouldn't have waited until now. Besides, even if I ask you, you can always lie to me, and I can't even tell if it's true or a lie."

He chuckled. "It's not as complicated as you think."

Then, Leanna retorted, "It's not that I'm complicating it, but everything related to you is complicated. Or maybe I should say you are a complicated person. Whether it was during our marriage or now, I never understood you."

"That means you've never looked at me seriously." When Aidan looked at her, his dark orbs were quiet, as if there were no waves. "Leanna, you have been avoiding everything all this while. When we married, you were running away from yourself, and after the divorce, you started avoiding your feelings for me."

She parted her lips, wondering how this b*stard thought of these distorted reasons.

Aidan then added, "Think about it carefully. What exactly do you want to know? I will definitely give you an answer if you ask."



When Leanna came home late, Zoe was lying on the couch and checking her phone. Seeing Leanna returning, she quickly asked, "Where did you go on a date? Did that b*stard let you leave so early?"

Leanna sat next to her and took a long breath.

Seeing her like this, Zoe knew what had happened, so she asked tentatively, "He didn't do anything bad to you, did he?"

Hearing this, Leanna smiled faintly. "Of course not."

"Then, what's going on here?"


"I…"

Leanna didn't know what to say.

Instead, Zoe said, "That b*stard must've said something again. Nana, sometimes, you just have to look forward. A relationship will get more complicated, and you suffer more when you overthink it. You no longer need anyone's permission for a relationship now that the b*stard likes you or if you like him. You should break up with him if you feel your feelings for him have waned or if you've developed feelings for someone else."

"If you are reluctant to do that, you can hook up with a few other men too. Our purpose in life is to strive to be a scumbag who slept with hundreds of men!" Zoe exclaimed and patted Leanna on the shoulder. "Don't be a coward. Just do it!"

Leanna was at a loss for words.

In the aspect of relationships, Zoe was indeed more open-minded than her.

This time, the doorbell rang, and when Zoe went to look through the peephole, she quickly told Leanna, "I'm going to sleep now. Let's continue our talk tomorrow."

The figure sprinted before Leanna in a few seconds and entered the bedroom.

Leanna walked to the door, saw Daniel standing outside, raised her hand, and scratched her brows.

She took what she had just said back. Indeed, people could only speak truthfully when they analyzed someone else's feelings. Still, when it came to themselves, they were often stuck.

When Leanna opened the door, Daniel saw her and asked, "Miss McKinney... Haven't you slept yet?"

"I just came back. What's up?"

He handed her the champagne and explained, "When I came to your house for dinner yesterday, I forgot to bring a gift. Here's one to make it up."

"Don't worry about it. It's just a meal," said Leanna.

"This is due courtesy, Miss McKinney. Please accept it."

Leanna knew Daniel always insisted on strange things, so she accepted it. "Thank you, then."

"I should be the one to thank you."

After Daniel finished speaking, he didn't leave.

Seeing him like that, Leanna thought he had something to say, so she didn't kick him out but tilted her head while waiting for him to continue.

After a while, Daniel asked, "Sorry for being nosy, but are you and President Pearson getting back together again?"

She probably didn't expect him to ask such a question, so she was slightly startled.

He smiled and continued, "Don't get me wrong. I just saw him taking you back, so I'm asking casually. If you find it inconvenient to answer, you don't have to answer."
