I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 415

After the movie ended, it was already 11.30PM.

Leanna was the first to speak. "I wanna go home now."

Aidan hummed and replied in a subdued voice, "I'll send you home."

"Okay."

Along the way, Aidan did not talk a lot. It seemed that the movie earlier had a big impact on him. Leanna lowered the car window, feeling the cold breeze, and smiled.

After a while, the car arrived at the entrance of Crossley Residence. Leanna unbuckled her seat belt and reached out to pull the car door. When she touched the handle, she suddenly turned around and said, "I'm leaving now."

Aidan replied, "If you want me to send you in, I can do that."

Leanna stayed silent for a moment before saying, "Forget it." With that, she opened the door and got out of the car.

After walking a few steps, she halted in her tracks again and turned her head, only to see his car still parked at the spot as if he had no intention of leaving.

If she wasn't hallucinating, she seemed to hear the sound of a lighter when she got out of the car earlier. After pondering for a moment, Leanna walked from the back of the vehicle to the driver's seat. Sure enough, Aidan was smoking.

Noticing her sudden presence, Aidan waved his hand to brush away the smoke in front of him while staring at her. "Why did you come back?"

Leanna placed her hands on the car window and looked at him without blinking.

Aidan looked at her with a puzzled expression.

It might be due to the movie earlier, but he felt her gaze was somehow meaningful. He felt uncomfortable by her stare, so he attempted to look away. At that moment, she suddenly asked, "Are you guilty?"

"Guilty of what?" Aidan licked his teeth discreetly.

Leanna then uttered seriously, "I read a test on the Internet. It said that if couples look at each other for 15 seconds, they usually can't help kissing each other, but you are avoiding my sight. Are you guilty or something?"

"Are you giving me a hint?"

"I…"

Before Leanna could speak, an arm hooked around her neck. Instantly, the man's thin lips that carried the smell of cigarettes sealed her lips. When the cigarette butt was about to be extinguished, Aidan let go of her, his voice was low and hoarse. "Why don't you come with me so we can kiss all we want?"

She pushed him away. "In your dreams!"

Aidan chuckled at that. "Weren't you the one who asked for it?"

"I just…" Unbothered to bicker with him, she landed her gaze on the cigarette box beside him. "I'm the one who should be sad. Why did you get emotional?"

Aidan held her hand and said, "I just feel sad for you."

Leanna pouted. "It's just a movie. Why are you so serious about it?"

Aidan replied lightly, "It's nothing. I just feel sorry for you sometimes."

"Sometimes?" Shouldn't it be all the time?

When Aidan looked at her, she immediately shut up.

After a while, she pulled her hand out. "That's enough. Let's not waste time here. I'm going in."

Aidan stared at her intensely, pulled her head down without warning, kissed her for a while, and urged, "Go on in."

Just as Leanna was about to leave, she seemed to remember something. "Stop smoking."

"Got it." He smiled.

Leanna was still worried, so she reached out to him. "Give it to me."

Grabbing the cigarette box and lighter, he placed them in her palm.

Seeing that, Leanna smiled. "I'm going in now. Drive home safely."

Aidan rarely smoked unless he was in an extremely bad mood, but she couldn't fathom why he would be emotionally affected by a movie.

"Okay."

Leanna shoved his cigarette pack and lighter into her bag before entering Crossley Residence.

However, she didn't drive home today, so she had to walk a distance before reaching the house. After taking two steps, the streetlights on both sides suddenly went dark following a loud snap. Thereafter, her surroundings turned pitch black without even a small glimmer of light.

Leanna stood on the spot for a moment, and just as she was about to take out her phone to turn on the flashlight, a dazzling light suddenly lit up behind her. She squinted her eyes and turned her head to see the bright lights emitted by a car. The smile on her face grew wider at the sight.

Turning back, she no longer fished for her phone as she walked on the road. The distance from the headlights was far enough for her to cover the entire road. Moreover, walking on the road alone didn't make her feel lonely at all.

Once Leanna entered the garden, there were lights around her, so she took out her phone and sent a message to Aidan, saying that she had arrived. After the message was sent, the car lights in the distance faded in a few seconds.

She then put away her phone, and when she went upstairs, she caught a glimpse of Lloyd's study door, which was open. She didn't know if it was his habit or to guard against her deliberately, but since she moved to Crossley Residence, Lloyd's study room was always locked except when he was around.

Leanna looked around, raised her brows indistinctly, and looked back. She then went back to her room, locked the door behind her, and took a shower.
