Chapter 413

Aidan said, "Their entire family is going to migrate soon." A moment later, he continued, "I told you that, didn't I?"

The unexpected statement left Leanna completely speechless. You didn't tell me any b*llshit!

Then, he continued, "If you don't want to go, then forget about it. If I continue to bother them, I'm afraid they will also grow to dislike me."

She gritted her teeth and mused, This b*stard is doing it on purpose!

So, Leanna grabbed his arm, clung tightly, and whispered, "Sorry."

"What?"

She slightly raised her voice and said, "As I was saying, you're quite annoying!"

Aidan's gaze landed on her arm, and he leaned forward ever-so-slightly to whisper in her ear, "If I'm annoying, why are you clinging to me so tightly?"

She responded immediately by releasing her grip on his arm.

Then, he smirked as he took her hand and led her to the playground.

Celia was usually sitting in the parents' waiting area with her child. Leanna looked up and recognized the man who had picked up Celia previously, along with his child.

When Celia saw them, she greeted them, "Hello, President Pearson and Miss McKinney."

Leanna shifted her attention away from the man and smiled at Celia. After a brief conversation, Celia excused herself to get some water, handing the little guy she was holding over to Leanna before rushing off.

She carried the little guy over to the bench and sat down with him in her arms, her smile widening inexplicably at the sight of him. His hands wiggled in the air as he waved at her as if he was ecstatic to see her. Then, she pulled a toy from the stroller and gave it to him.

While the little guy was distracted by the toy, Leanna abruptly looked up at Aidan and said, "President Pearson."

"Yeah?"

"Do you think he has quite a bit of a resemblance to you?"

He looked deeply at the child in her arms and asked calmly, "Is he?"

She nodded and babbled gibberish in a solemn tone, "I didn't realize it then, but now that he's grown a little, I notice how much his features resemble yours."

"If that's true, you may want to worry about it."

"Why would I—" Halfway through her reasoning, Leanna suddenly understood what he meant. Consequently, she pursed her lips and turned her body to the side while holding the child in her arm to prevent herself from staring at Aidan.

He chuckled upon seeing her reaction and placed his hand on her shoulders. "I'm just kidding."

She was playing with him, and the child bore no resemblance to him.

Afterward, she asked, "Um… What happens to Wendy if their entire family migrates?"

"She's not leaving."

Leanna frowned upon hearing that. "Will she be left alone, then?"

Aidan replied indifferently, "You should ask them about it. I'm not sure."

"Oh," she responded curtly.

She knew she couldn't have asked Celia herself, so instead, she queried Aidan casually.

Afterward, Leanna stared at the little guy in her arms while her hand gently grasped his teeny fingers as she was reluctant to let him go. Although she had only known this child for a short time, she believed that it was kismet that brought her to him because it wasn't long after she had a miscarriage that the child happened to enter her life simultaneously. Despite that, she had always had a hunch that the little guy was her biological child. However, she needed to admit the reality of the situation.

Later, she carefully placed him back in the stroller, prompting Aidan to inquire. "She hasn't returned. Don't you want to keep cuddling him?"

As she stared at the little guy in the stroller, she had to take a lot of willpower to tear her eyes away from him. She shook her head and lamented with a sad note, "Since they are migrating, we won't be able to see each other again. Why should I try to hold on? The sooner I let go, the better."

Aidan stared at her, his thin lips slightly pursed. Moments later, he broke the silence. "It's not as if they will never return after migrating. If all else fails, I can take you abroad to see him."

Leanna rejected the suggestion. "It's fine. This is where I should formally bid him farewell." It was possible to interpret that as her final farewell to her unborn child.

"They're migrating, and it's not a big deal."

"You don't understand." She glared at him.

Since his family is moving abroad, the little guy and I will have to part ways soon. It is futile to persuade them to stay, as it will only cause trouble.

Perhaps, Aidan had picked up on her train of thought because, after a brief pause of silence, he asked, "What if they don't migrate?"

"Then, I—" Leanna paused halfway through her sentence. "They won't migrate?"

He averted his gaze and said, "I'm just saying. Migrating to a different country is not a simple process. They may be unable to leave for a variety of reasons."

She furrowed her brows and thought about how fickle he was.

At that moment, Celia returned with several water bottles in her arms and offered one to Leanna. "Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, Miss McKinney. I've got you a bottle of water."

With a bright grin, Leanna declined. "No thanks. We have to get going."

Celia then nodded her head. "Goodbye, Miss McKinney."

"Bye."
