I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 289

Chapter 289

Maya no longer seemed as high-spirited and haughty as she was before. She did not even have any makeup on and all that was left on her face was a weary countenance.

She walked over to stand in front of Leanna. Just as Maya was about to say something, she turned her head and met Zoe's curious eyes before snorting. "What are you staring at? Bedazzled by my natural beauty?"

Zoe was speechless beyond words as she thought, I'm gonna wash my eyes with acid.

Noticing that Maya seemed to have something to share with her, Leanna stated, "Zoe, why don't you head inside first?"

As a result, Zoe nodded before glancing at Maya. "You'd better not try anything funny because I won't let you get away with things!"

Surprisingly, Maya did not rebuke her words and merely turned her in the other direction, ignoring her.

As soon as Zoe entered the studio, Leanna asked, "Spill. Why are you here?"

Maya replied, "Let's go for some coffee. My treat."

Since her invite sounded sincere like never before, Leanna decided to go along with her to a nearby cafe.

After they had taken a seat, Maya stated, "You must be pleased to see me in such a state, huh?"

Leanna was amused by her words. "What is there to be happy about? What has this got to do with me?"

Maya responded, "Why didn't you let me know in advance that your ex-husband was the president of Pearson Group? I behaved like an idiot as I flaunted in front of you. You must have felt quite smug about it, huh?"

"Whatever floats your boat."

It was then the waiter served their coffee.

Maya took the cup in her hands and sipped on it before slowly mentioning, "My husband is in prison right now. I've been seeking help from everyone I can think of recently, but none of them have been decent to me. I've finally realized how superficial relationships can be. Anyway, let's cut to the chase. I came over to see you today to mainly say thanks. I know that you don't wish for other forms of gratitude, so this is just a token of my appreciation."


Leanna replied solemnly, "If you did want to express your gratitude, then you shouldn't have turned up today."

"You…" Maya seemed to have something to say, but in the end, she stifled her words and merely snorted. "Whether I express my gratitude or not is a decision for me to make while you are the one who gets to decide whether you accept it."

"You don't have to thank me and I won't have to accept it either. As for the situation that day, I wouldn't have stood aside and done nothing even if it was just an animal there. Besides, you're a living human. I just did what I thought was the right thing to do, so I don't need any form of gratitude or appreciation."

As soon as Maya heard that, her expression turned ashen. She was not dull, so she clearly could comprehend that Leanna was making a snide remark to say that she was incomparable to an animal.

As such, she inhaled a deep breath. "Anyway, this is all I have to say. Don't even expect me to say anything else other than this. I will never ever apologize to you."

In response, Leanna merely smiled without saying a thing.

After Maya left, Leanna headed back to the studio too.

As soon as Zoe saw her walk in, she ran up to her. "Nana, how did it go? Did she come to cause trouble for you?"

Leanna shook her head. "No."

Zoe replied, "Well, I didn't think she was here to cause trouble either. Did you notice that she looked like a completely different person from before? She used to be so haughty, but today, she seemed rather downcast and totally dispirited."

Leanna parted her lips and attempted to say something, but in the end, she did not mention the encounter she shared with Maya before. Instead, she merely patted Zoe on the back. "I'll start on some designs now. Come and get me if there are any issues."

Zoe nodded. "Okay."

Seated in front of the work desk, Leanna looked at the drafts in front of her, but she did not seem to feel at ease.

Although she knew that Jethro was ultimately after some money, she felt increasingly frustrated to be waiting endlessly for him to get in touch.

Furthermore, Leanna recalled the moment last night when she had mentioned to Jethro how her mother married him while she was already pregnant with Leanna, as well as his reaction to that. Precisely due to that, Leanna felt undeniably anxious.

Instinctively, she felt that Jethro must be aware of some secrets; perhaps it was something much more major than she could ever imagine.

After some time, she collected her things and stood up.

As soon as Zoe saw her walk out of the room, she asked, "Nana, what's wrong?"

Leanna responded, "I need to go somewhere. Zoe, can I borrow your car?"

Zoe flung the car keys at her. "Where are you headed to?"

"I'm going to see Ron."

At that moment, Zoe was caught by surprise. "Are you able to locate him?"

Someone like Ron would be difficult to locate if he went into hiding. In fact, Aidan's men had even taken a lot of effort to locate him, but they had not been able to come up with a single clue at all.

After a moment of silence, Leanna finally replied, "I've got a solution."

After all, every man had their weak spot and Ron should be no exception to this rule too.
