Chapter 478

Leanna shook her head. "Since he knew about it before I did but chose to keep quiet, he must have had his reasons."

"Are you saying that you've forgiven him?"

"He didn't do anything that hurt me, so there's nothing for me to forgive him about."

She was also relieved that they hadn't revealed the secret all along. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to imagine how things would turn out if Louis knew about it.

If that happened, it might put everyone in an awkward situation.

Aidan probably saw through her thoughts, so he frowned slightly and said, "You just need to know what you want to do. You don't have to consider everybody's feelings."

Leanna patiently repeated, "Louis is my brother, and he's also my only—"

"Leanna, it doesn't matter if he's the only one or one of the many. You need to know that you need to prioritize yourself; the others come after. There's nothing wrong with living for yourself just once."

At this moment, she parted her lips, seemingly wanting to rebuke him, but before she could say anything, he continued, "Do you know why you are under so much pressure? It's because you always care about others' feelings, and that causes you to overthink things. That's why you're living a tiring life."

"I don't always care about others' feelings. I just don't want to let Louis…"

"He's already 20. He's an adult. If he can't even accept and digest this little matter, do you think everything you've done for him is worth it?"

After some time, she said softly, "But that's what I want to do. No one is more important to me than Louis. If I need to choose one person in my life, I'll only choose him."

"Not even me?" He lifted his brows.

Hearing that, she looked him in the eyes and said softly, "Why must you invite humiliation upon yourself?"

Aidan had no comeback for that. After he turned off the light, he said, "It's time to sleep."

Leanna blinked in the dark. "Are you mad again?"

"No." His emotions at that moment couldn't be discerned from his voice.

"Why did you ask such a question when you already know the answer? Also, didn't you ask me to prioritize myself? I'm just following my heart."

Right then, he scoffed. "Huh."

When she saw him like that, a smile tugged on her lips, and it was evident that she was in a better mood. She no longer rejected the idea of Alice following her anymore and even said, "I want to go shopping tomorrow. What time will Alice be here?"

"She'll be here when you wake up."

"Oh." This b*stard talks like there's dynamite in his mouth.

That night, she couldn't sleep at all, unsure if it was because she had slept too much these two days or because her mood had suddenly improved. And with that powder keg, which was about to explode at any time, sleeping right next to her, she couldn't help teasing him.

"President Pearson," she said softly.

Yet, Aidan ignored her.

Seeing that, Leanna moved into his arms and raised her hand to poke his waist. "Are you asleep?"

The man beside her did not react.

"Never mind, then," she said.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand in mid-air, and a man's voice could be heard. "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, it's just that I can't seem to fall asleep. I want to talk to you, but you look tired. You should sleep. Good…"

Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were blocked.

The man who lay beside her a moment ago was on top of her all of a sudden. Even in the dark, danger could be sensed from his gaze.

He said, "Don't sleep if you can't."



Leanna was slightly regretting her actions; she knew that Aidan was a vengeful man, but she still gave herself up to let him get his revenge after provoking him. Indeed, she had shot herself in the foot.

It was already noon by the time she woke up the next day, and Aidan had already left for work.

When Leanna went shower, she looked at the marks Aidan had left on her body and couldn't help clicking her tongue. I need to change into something that can cover my neck.

As soon as she left the bedroom, she could smell a delicious aroma.

Meanwhile, when Alice heard the noise, she came out of the kitchen with a smile. "Hi, Madam. Lunch will be ready soon. Please wait for a little while."

"Okay." Leanna smiled.

She walked to the dining table and poured herself a glass of warm water. Then, with her hand propped on the table, she sat on the chair slowly. That b*stard is such a monster.

While Alice was busy preparing her meal in the kitchen, Leanna texted Zoe.
