I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 340

Chapter 340

When Leanna was done with her meal, she felt comfortable, a feeling that she seemed to have missed for the past couple of days.

Noticing that, Aidan asked, "Are the Crossleys not feeding you properly?"

Nestled on the couch, she replied, "I'm reluctant to eat with them. I'm afraid that I'll end up with an upset stomach instead." During her stay with the Crossley Family over the past few days, her schedule was basically coming into the office to have a meal in the morning and taking another meal in the evening before going back. It was already hard enough for her to stay with them under the same roof, let alone share the same table to have meals with them. To her, it was worse than death by a thousand cuts. Sighing as she mulled over these thoughts, she then said, "Alice's cooking is really good. It's so much more delicious than take-outs."

"You'll be able to have them every day once you move back in with me," he said casually.

Leanna cleared her throat as she knew just what the man was insinuating. As she didn't want to continue with that line of the conversation, she said, "By the way, Lloyd brought me to the cemetery to pay respects to his wife today."

"Did you?"

"Nope, but guess who I bumped into there."

"Who?"

"William Morris. It's quite a coincidence, isn't it? He has a friend who is also buried there."

"It is," Aidan replied indifferently.

"Actually, I feel that William is a mysterious man." After a brief moment of thought, she then continued, "Since he's a businessman, he should be well aware of what's going on with the Crossley Group. Yet, he still chose to collaborate with them at such a time. Either he plans to use Crossley Group as a stepping stone and use this short period of collaboration as an opportunity to expand his business, or…"


Aidan's eyes grew darker as he stared at her. "Or what?"

"Nothing." She shook her head. She suddenly had a thought that William specifically came after Lloyd. Not only that, but she felt an inkling that the former might even have something to do with Daniel. Very quickly, however, she thought the idea seemed ridiculous.

Just as she was slowly drowning in her thoughts, Aidan flicked her forehead with his finger and said, "You should finish your work before starting to worry about someone else."

She rubbed her forehead while looking at him with dissatisfaction. Then, she ordered him off the studio. "You should go now!"

"Are you still planning to continue?"

"Yeah. Haven't I told you before? I would often work without sleep when inspiration strikes."

"Is inspiration more important than your life?"

Before she could retort, she was pulled into Aidan's arms. Resting his chin on her head, he whispered, "Don't move. Stay with me and sleep for a while." There were heavy signs of exhaustion in his tone.

Forget it, she thought as she pursed her lips. Since she was done with the draft, the finalized design would be much better. Perhaps she was full from her meal, she was gradually overcome with sleepiness as she yawned and slowly closed her eyes. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Aidan said, "If you have nothing to do in the coming two days, try probing Lloyd's intentions."

Since she thought he was going to say something important, she sobered up and asked, "What intentions?"

"What are the chances of me moving into the Crossley Residence to stay with you," he answered slowly.

At this juncture, Leanna really wanted to pry open the man's brain just to have a look at what went on in his mind. She pushed the man away and said, "I think the chances of you getting killed are higher. You can try it if you don't believe me, President Pearson."

"That bad?"

"Obviously. Did you think that Lloyd would welcome you into their home by fetching you over there in a luxury car?"

He looked at her with his eyebrows slightly raised. "Then, when do you plan to allow me to welcome you into my home with a luxury car?"

Leanna could only stay silent as he touched her sore spot. In the end, she closed her eyes and said, "Go to sleep." At that, Aidan became silent. Amidst her drowsiness, she only felt the warm embrace by her waist as she drifted into a sweet dream.

…

The next morning, Zoe came to the studio door to find several ladies there, clearly hesitating in entering the studio. "What's wrong? Did you all forget your keys?" Saying that, she was about to open the door when one of the ladies tugged her hand and gestured for her to be quiet before directing her gaze at what was inside the studio with her finger.

Upon looking over, she widened her eyes in shock. What is with this situation? She cleared her throat and gestured for the ladies to go away before saying, "I'm sure all of you haven't had your breakfast this early, right? Go and have them. It'll be my treat. It doesn't matter what's on the menu as long as you bring one set back for me."
