I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 487

Chapter 487

In the middle of the night, just when Leanna almost fell into a deep slumber, she suddenly felt a dip in the bed behind her. Soon, she was wrapped in a warm embrace.

She kept her eyes closed, but her voice was laced with tiredness. "Did you just return?"

Aidan replied with a hum and gently patted her back with his big palms and murmured in his deep voice, "Go back to sleep."

Leanna turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist out of habit. Shortly after, she fell back asleep.

In the dark, Aidan planted a long kiss on her forehead.

They had gotten ahold of Georgina now, but Leroy was nowhere to be found.

He was like a ticking bomb, unsure when it would explode.

At the moment, the Crossley Group was a mess. Many of their financial statements did not add up, and multiple managers ran or jumped ship because of that. As such, only the oblivious employees were left behind.

If no one stepped up, the great family that once stood over Highside for hundreds of years through the blood, sweat, and tears of their generational leaders would fall to its feet overnight, never to be seen ever again. Many of the company's employees and their families would also suffer a major blow.

Everything happened because of Leroy. Due to his agenda, he caused harm to thousands of people.

He would not be able to repent for his wrongdoings even if he died.

…

The ringing of the alarm clock woke Leanna up the next day, but Aidan wasn't by her side.

She got up with a yawn and got ready before walking out of the bedroom.

When she went down, Alice was already in the kitchen making breakfast. "You're up, Madam. Breakfast is almost ready."

Leanna looked around the room before asking, "Where's Aidan?"

Alice replied, "Master had just left when I arrived. He said that something came up in the office and asked me to let you know that he'll be busy. Also, he doesn't want you to think about him."

Leanna was speechless.

Who's thinking about him?!

When she was halfway through her meal, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Alice, did our neighbor have a baby? I think I heard a baby crying yesterday."

Alice shook her head. "I'm not sure about that. I've never seen the neighbors."

"I've never seen them either."

Alice smiled. "If you like children, Madam, you could have one yourself."

Hearing that, Leanna paused and didn't speak.

Alice saw Leanna's reaction and assumed that she was thinking about the child from before, so she carefully asked, "Madam, did I say something wrong?"

Leanna assured her, "No, I just think that children are quite cute."

Aidan had not put on a condom during their last few sessions. She wasn't sure if she'd get pregnant and decided to just go with the flow.

After breakfast, Leanna headed to the studio.

Since she had taken a break for some time, a lot of work was waiting for her.

Even though fashion week was several months away, some things had to be confirmed and prepared in advance.

Time passed. In the afternoon, Zoe knocked on her door while asking quietly, "Are you busy, Nana?"

Leanna stretched her arms. "I'm not that busy. What's up?"

"There are two people out front saying that… they're from the Crossley Group. They want to meet you."

Leanna was stunned. "Me?"

Zoe nodded. "Yes. If you don't want to meet them, I'll reject them."

It had been a while since the Crossley Group's anniversary celebration.

Leanna didn't keep tabs on the Crossleys, but she saw the news last night whereby a few important projects of theirs had stopped. As such, many of their collaborators had gone up to the office and made a scene. However, there was no one left in the Crossley Group to give them an answer. It was a no-brainer that the employees were on pins and needles.

After staying silent for a while, Leanna ordered, "Let them in."

"Okay."

To her surprise, she knew the two people who came.

One of them was Jimmy, the guy who forced Maya to drink during one of their dinners.
