Chapter 507

Leanna placed the bottle of folic acid in front of Zoe. "Although I know you don't want to keep the child, just take this for now. It won't harm you, anyway. If you decide to go ahead with the operation, you can throw it away."

With a depressed look, Zoe ran over and hugged her. "Sob. You're the best, Leanna."

She smiled and patted her back. "Alright, now. I know I'm in no position to persuade you, but there are still two weeks left. Mull over intently whether you want to break the news to Daniel. In my eyes, he's not an irresponsible person."

Nodding, Zoe replied, "I'll give it some thought."

After tidying up the contents of the fridge, Leanna thought about what Aidan had told her a few days ago. She licked her lips and asked, "Zoe, did Anthony meet up with you recently?"

"Nope. I think karma has finally got him."

Thinking about it, Leanna did not tell her that it was Daniel who took care of him. Zoe's already in a mess right now. If I tell her this, it would only further trouble her and leave her in more of a distraught state.

Soon, her phone rang from Aidan's call. He stated upsettingly, "Even by foot, you would've arrived there by now."

This made Leanna speechless since she had forgotten to send him a message. So, she replied, "I did arrive a while ago. It's just that I have some business to take care of."

He snorted subtly. "When will you be done?"

"I think it'll drag on for a while. I'll send you a message when everything's finished."

She wanted to leave after preparing dinner for Zoe. Without waiting for Aidan to speak, she hung up on him.

Zoe, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly had a burst of energy as her eyes glimmered upon the thought of gossip. "Is dear President Pearson inviting you on a date?"

Pursing her lips, Leanna explained, "N-No… He's always like this. When he's not busy, he'll start to monitor me."

Zoe replied with a sigh, "The Gods sure know how to joke with us. To think that the b*stard would act like this."

Leanna rose to her feet. "I'll cook. What do you want to eat?"

Zoe answered with a pitiful look, "I'll eat whatever you cook."

"Okay."

Since Zoe had not had a proper meal for the last two days, plus Leanna's cooking suited her appetite very much—not oily or heavy—she finished two plates of food before she was satisfied.

When she finished, Leanna was about to clean up the table when Zoe commented, "Just leave the rest to me. Go have your date with your man. Quick! Otherwise, he's going to have a temper tantrum again."

Noticing that it was late, Leanna replied, "I'll leave, then. Rest up properly. You hear me?"

Noticing that it was late, Leanna replied, "I'll leave, then. Rest up properly. You hear me?"

"I know. Just go."

Upon Leanna's departure, Zoe washed the bowls before cleaning the kitchen and eventually slumped onto the couch lifelessly.

After some time, she took her phone and found Daniel's number. Yet, she merely looked at it without calling him.

This persisted until the view outside slowly darkened.

Tossing her phone aside, she planted her head face-first into the couch. God, tell me what I should do!



During the meal and movie, Leanna's thoughts were elsewhere throughout the whole process.

Noticing this, Aidan asked, "Are you feeling alright?"

It was only when she heard his voice did she snap back to reality. "Huh? I'm fine!"

This made him frown instead. "You must not want to go on this date, then."

Leanna did not know how to respond to this, so she retorted, "When did I ever say that?"

"Your expression says it all."

She tried to explain, "It's not like that. I was just thinking about something."

"Oh? Care to share? I might be able to help."

She did not want to tell him initially, but upon recalling his experience in this sort of situation, she figured it would be nice to ask for his opinion.

After finding a remote spot, she asked him earnestly, "If, and this is hypothetical, let's say this concerns us. I like you, and you do feel something for me, but it's not love. Then, for some reason, we did the thing…"

Her words made Aidan's eyebrow raise. "Did what thing?"

Leanna stared at him. "What else could it be? Monopoly?"

Snickering, he replied, "Continue."

"Then, after some time, I found out I was pregnant. Would you want me to abort the child straightaway, or would you want me to tell you?"

This bewildered Aidan. "How is this still hypothetical?"

Leanna knew what he meant. "This is different from our situation."

"How?" He commented, "Didn't you like me, and I felt something for you too?" He chose to not continue his sentence.

With a smirk, she retorted, "I didn't like you back then. It was—"

Yet, he interrupted her, obviously not wanting to hear the name that would slip out. "Alright. Is your question finished?"

Noticing that it was lata, Laanna rapliad, "I'll laava, than. Rast up proparly. You haar ma?"

"I know. Just go."
