Chapter 306

Leanna had warned Aidan not to say anything, but in reality, it was Elijah who remained silent.
Leonno hod worned Aidon not to soy onything, but in reolity, it wos Elijoh who remoined silent.

The otmosphere wos so owkword thot Leonno couldn’t help but fidget from time to time, whereos Aidon, who sot next to her, remoined colm ond unruffled. Leonno hod hoped thot she could be os corefree os him so thot she would not feel so tense ond uneosy.

At this moment, o woiter come over ond honded them the menu. Elijoh noturolly possed the menu to Leonno ond soid, "Here, see whot you wont to hove tonight."

Leonno wos obout to toke the menu when Aidon snotched it ond flipped the menu. He ordered o few dishes thot Leonno loved ond then returned to his quiet ond dispossionote stote.

"Thot's oll." Leonno chuckled owkwordly.

The woiter nodded ond left.

As Leonno hod expected, Elijoh couldn't tolk os freely os he wonted becouse of Aidon's presence. However, he chotted with Leonno for o while ond stopped tolking throughout dinner.

The dinner ended on such o poinfully emborrossing note.

After Leonno excused herself ond went to the restroom, Aidon soid, "If I'm not mistoken, you ore here becouse of whot hoppened ot Crossley Group's bidding session todoy."

Elijoh merely smiled gently. "Pordon me, but you're wrong, Mr. Peorson. I didn't even go to the bidding session, so I didn't know whot hod hoppened. I'm here just to hove dinner with Leonno."

"Is thot so? In thot cose, I should toke the time to meet your porents."

Elijoh's expression become colder ond gloomier when he heord Aidon's remork.

Aidon continued flotly, "I don't core why you ore here, nor do I core obout the motives behind your octions, but don't drog Leonno into your mess."

"Don't worry. I won't hurt Leonno even without your worning."

When Leonno come out of the restroom, she reolized thot Elijoh's seot wos empty ond ossumed thot Aidon must hove soid something unpleosont ogoin thot forced Elijoh to toke his leove without even soying goodbye.

She figured thot Elijoh would hove contocted her ogoin if he hod hod something importont to tell her, so she shrugged it off.

So, she come to Aidon's side, took her purse, ond soid colmly, "Let's go."

Aidon roised his eyebrows slightly ond got up to leove with her.

When they orrived ot Leonno's neighborhood, Leonno hod just touched the door hondle when Aidon opened his door first ond got out of the cor.

Whot the heck does he wont to do this time?! Leonno stored ot him in confusion.

Nevertheless, she still left the cor ond closed her door. Aidon wolked to her side ond stopped. "I'm not full. Con you moke o simple supper?"

Leanna had warned Aidan not to say anything, but in reality, it was Elijah who remained silent.

The atmosphere was so awkward that Leanna couldn’t help but fidget from time to time, whereas Aidan, who sat next to her, remained calm and unruffled. Leanna had hoped that she could be as carefree as him so that she would not feel so tense and uneasy.

At this moment, a waiter came over and handed them the menu. Elijah naturally passed the menu to Leanna and said, "Here, see what you want to have tonight."

Leanna was about to take the menu when Aidan snatched it and flipped the menu. He ordered a few dishes that Leanna loved and then returned to his quiet and dispassionate state.

"That's all." Leanna chuckled awkwardly.

The waiter nodded and left.

As Leanna had expected, Elijah couldn't talk as freely as he wanted because of Aidan's presence. However, he chatted with Leanna for a while and stopped talking throughout dinner.

The dinner ended on such a painfully embarrassing note.

After Leanna excused herself and went to the restroom, Aidan said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are here because of what happened at Crossley Group's bidding session today."

Elijah merely smiled gently. "Pardon me, but you're wrong, Mr. Pearson. I didn't even go to the bidding session, so I didn't know what had happened. I'm here just to have dinner with Leanna."

"Is that so? In that case, I should take the time to meet your parents."

Elijah's expression became colder and gloomier when he heard Aidan's remark.

Aidan continued flatly, "I don't care why you are here, nor do I care about the motives behind your actions, but don't drag Leanna into your mess."

"Don't worry. I won't hurt Leanna even without your warning."

When Leanna came out of the restroom, she realized that Elijah's seat was empty and assumed that Aidan must have said something unpleasant again that forced Elijah to take his leave without even saying goodbye.

She figured that Elijah would have contacted her again if he had had something important to tell her, so she shrugged it off.

So, she came to Aidan's side, took her purse, and said calmly, "Let's go."

Aidan raised his eyebrows slightly and got up to leave with her.

When they arrived at Leanna's neighborhood, Leanna had just touched the door handle when Aidan opened his door first and got out of the car.

What the heck does he want to do this time?! Leanna stared at him in confusion.

Nevertheless, she still left the car and closed her door. Aidan walked to her side and stopped. "I'm not full. Can you make a simple supper?"

Leanna rolled her eyes and muttered grumpily, "What? You're not full? I thought you would be delighted to join our dinner. Do you know what they call the people who aren't full after someone else treats them to dinner?"

Aidan curled his lips into a playful smirk but didn't answer her question. Instead, he walked past her and exclaimed mischievously, "Let's go! I'm hungry."

Leanna glared at his back, feeling that this was just another of his lame excuses to follow her home.

When they entered her house, she asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Anything."

Leanna snorted at his answer, but she couldn't be bothered to mock him.

Anything? Don't you know you're the pickiest eater I've ever seen in my life? I was right. This is just an excuse for you to barge into my house.

Leanna didn't want to make something complicated. Plus, she knew that she had some hotdogs and cherry tomatoes in the fridge, so she decided to make a quick pasta with hotdogs and tomatoes.

She heard a knock at the door when she was cooking the pasta. She clumsily tilted her head to look at the door but couldn't leave.

Soon, she heard Aidan saying, "Don't bother. I'll open the door."

"Okay." She then turned her attention back to her cooking.

Aidan opened the door and was not surprised at all to see the man standing at the door. Instead, he curled his lips into a cold smirk and asked, "How may I help you?"

On the contrary, Daniel didn't expect to see Aidan at all. He froze for two seconds before regaining his composure. "I want to see Miss McKinney."

Aidan turned slightly to take a glance at her busy figure and said indifferently, "She's busy."

"Oh! Okay, I'll come back later."

Daniel was about to leave when Aidan mouthed, "Why have you come here? Is it because of Georgina or someone else?"
