Chapter 299

Leanna closed her eyes, and it took a few minutes before she felt the space next to her sink down for a moment.

Immediately afterward, a warm man's body laid next to her.

When Leanna was about to move to the side, Aidan put an arm across her waist and asked in a low voice, "Don't you feel hot covering yourself with the blanket with so many layers of clothes on?"

"… It's not hot." It was a lie.

Leanna was hot and stuffy and could hardly breathe.

Behind her, Aidan did not speak but hugged her firmly.

Leanna heard the man's even and steady breathing a moment later.

She turned her head slightly and whispered tentatively, "President Pearson?"

The only response she got was silence.

Looks like he's really asleep.

She breathed a sigh of relief and carefully pushed his arm away to get out of his embrace.

Then, she sat on the bed and looked at the sofa before shifting her gaze back to the sleeping b*stard. In the end, she gave in.

After taking off her jacket, Leanna laid back down and did her best to keep her distance from Aidan.

Her eyes were wide open. Although she was sleepy earlier, she didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy right now.

Come to think of it, I can't relax when I'm facing such a powerful opponent. Even if I enter the Crossley Residence, Lloyd and Georgina will be wary of me, and it won't be easy for me to find the truth.

Just when Leanna was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a weight on her waist. Aidan's arm was once again rested on her waist.

Leanna did not feel amused.

So, she growled, "President Pearson, stop leaning over. I'm going to fall off the bed."


However, Aidan didn't answer her.

Leanna continued, "I know you're awake. Hurry up and nudge over."

As she said, she reached out to nudge him.

In the darkness, Aidan slowly opened his eyes while grinning. He held her hand to pull her into his arms. "You won't fall down if you lean on me. You don't have to sleep on the edge of the bed."

Leanna felt that she couldn't argue with Aidan. So, she stayed silent and then said sullenly, "I'm sleepy. Let's sleep."

He hummed softly. Although he was hugging her, he did not act excessively.

After tossing about, the just-disappeared sleepiness gradually surfaced again. This time, Leanna was struggling to keep her eyes open. She wanted to sleep on her side, but Aidan pressed her against his chest.

So, Leanna fell asleep while listening to the man's calm and strong heartbeat.

In the end, Aidan kissed her forehead and whispered, "Good night."

It has been a long time since I last held her like this.

…

With the arrival of spring, the temperature continued to rise every day.

Time quickly passed, and soon it was the day of the bidder conference.

After Leanna changed her clothes, she put on bright and attractive makeup.

After she was done dressing up, it was already 2PM.

The bidder conference would start at 3 PM, and she would be just in time if she left immediately.

As she left, she picked up the pocket watch and placed it in her bag. After taking a deep breath, she walked out.

From now on, there's no turning back. I will stay on this path until the day I find the truth.

At the bidding site, Georgina looked at the people who kept coming over to greet her with a cold and mocking smile.

I know all too well what they are thinking. They are just trying to achieve their goals through pleasing me. Crossley Group is just going through a crisis, and they already can't wait to attack us. Even if something terrible happens to the Crossley Family, I am still the dignified daughter of the family. They are not worthy of me!

Soon, Georgina did not want to deal with them anymore. She got herself a glass of wine and found Daniel in the venue. Then, she asked lightly, "How's the investigation going?"

Daniel took a sip of the champagne and raised his brows. "About to be done."

Upon hearing that, Georgina turned serious. "Tell me about it now."

"Calm down. Let's wait until the bidder conference is over. You might not be ready for the truth."

Just as Georgina was about to speak, there was a slight commotion in the venue. Aidan had arrived.

Georgina wrapped her arms around her chest and looked at Aidan. No one knew what she was thinking about.

Daniel followed her line of sight as he swirled the glass of champagne. "If I'm right, I assume you still haven't given up on Aidan. He is a good choice, after all."

Upon hearing that, Georgina was stunned and withdrew her gaze. "Nothing of the sort."

Daniel smiled and did not say anything more.

Although Georgina denied it, Aidan was the only one who could help Georgina now.
