I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 522

Chapter 522

As Aidan was returning by helicopter, Oscar dropped Leanna off directly at the private hangar.

"You should return to whatever you're doing. I can wait for him here myself," Leanna said.

He gave her a nod in reply; he did have a lot on his plate at the moment. "Call me if you need anything," he said.

"Sure."

After he left, she silently leaned against the car window and watched the scenery outside.

After all the commotion in the night, dawn had started to show in the sky, and it wouldn't be long before the sun would rise.

Leanna stared at the sky dazedly and didn't know when she had fallen asleep. Still, she only realized she had fallen asleep when the vibration of her cell phone woke her up. She groggily rubbed her eyes before squinting at the screen, only to see that it was Louis calling her.

She cleared her throat and picked up the call. "What's up, Louis?"

"Where are you now?" he asked solemnly.

"I…"

She quickly swallowed the words that were about to tumble out of her mouth as she thought, If Louis is calling me so early in the day with this tone, it shows that he probably already knew about what happened last night.

"I'm at the airport waiting for Aidan to return," she answered softly.

"Send me the location. I'm coming over," he said.

"It's okay," she replied. "I'm fine. You should just attend your classes."

Louis frowned. "It's such a big deal. How could you be fine?"

After Leanna left the Pearson Family Estate, she didn't check her phone besides giving Oscar a call. So, she had no clue that her disappearance had caused a considerable uproar.

Nevertheless, she chuckled and answered, "I'm fine, really. Otherwise, how could I answer your call? The Pearsons are merely bluffing. They didn't even dare to lay a single finger on me."


Louis pursed his lips without saying a word.

"Alright, just attend your classes. I'll look for you at your school in a few days."

"No," he said. "I'm going to the apartment in the evening."

"Oh, that's okay, too. I'll be back tonight as well."

After they ended the call, she scrolled through her phone and saw that Zoe had called her twice and sent her a barrage of texts.

Maybe she missed them because she slept too soundly.

When she noticed that her phone battery was running low, she decided not to reply to Zoe's calls but sent her a text to inform her that she was safe and sound.



Then, she opened her browser using her remaining battery power and quickly scrolled through the relevant topics.

There were a few headlines regarding her disappearance after she attended the party, but there was also clarification after that, saying that it was just a careless misunderstanding.

Obviously, the Pearsons had intervened.

Since this matter wasn't exposed with solid proof, nobody took it to heart; only the people close to her knew that this was not a misunderstanding.

And that was the reason behind Louis and Zoe calling her.

Before she could continue browsing, her phone died due to its flat battery. She sighed at her phone as she set it aside and closed her eyes again.

A while later, someone knocked on the car window. She was jolted from her thoughts and quickly rolled the window down.

The person outside passed her a bag. "Miss McKinney, there's food and drinks inside."

"Thanks." She took the bag from him and asked after a second, "What's the time now?"

"9.30 AM."

"When will Aidan be arriving?"

"He's probably landing around 3.00 PM."

She nodded in acknowledgment. "Please get me a power bank."

"Okay. Please wait a moment, Miss McKinney."

She placed the bag aside and got out of the car to stretch her body. When the man returned with a power bank, she thanked him and hopped into the driver's seat.

I might as well make a trip to the Crossley Group rather than waste my time waiting here, she decided, connecting her cell phone to the power bank, and drove off after she informed the man of her plans.

At the Crossley Group, she had just entered the office when Raymond came in. "Are you okay, Miss McKinney?"

She slumped against her chair as she smiled softly. "Yeah, I'm alright. What's the matter?"

"After news of your disappearance was released last night, Richard, me, and a few others went to the Pearson Family Estate, but Old Mr. Pearson claimed that you were not there. After that, we got wind that you were already home, so we left."

When she recalled the ruckus last night, she inquired, "Were there a lot of people there last night?"

Raymond nodded in reply. "There were also a few journalists in attendance. Other than that… I don't know who they were."
