I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 543














































After a pause, Leanna uttered, "Just like what you said, those are young women. Perhaps the one he's in love with is—"

"A man?"

Leanna was speechless for a moment before saying, "No, he's straight."

Daphne replied with a smile, "I know. I'm just pulling your leg. Anyway, your brother is truly handsome and intelligent, not to mention he's studying at a top university. Any woman would fall in love with him, so you don't have to worry about it."

Since it was Louis' personal affair, Leanna didn't think she had the right to break it to Daphne. As such, she only nodded gently. A moment later, she said, "Do you have any work arrangements?"

Daphne replied, "There's nothing much to do. I'll probably appear in some variety shows, and I'll be shooting a movie in two months."

With Daphne around, Leanna wasn't bored. The entire afternoon went by quickly as the ladies had a joyful conversation. Upon Aidan's arrival, Daphne tactfully left the place. Aidan entered the ward and asked, "What did you two talk about?"


"Nothing much. It was just casual talk," Leanna replied. "When will I be leaving the hospital tomorrow?"

"I'll pick you up in the afternoon; I have a meeting to attend in the morning."

Leanna said, "It's fine. I can leave the hospital on my own."

Naturally, Aidan wouldn't agree to it. "You're not going anywhere until I arrive."

Leanna couldn't help but murmur, "Will you stop being domineering for once?"

With a milder expression, Aidan said, "I'll ask your brother to come over and help get you discharged, then."

Leanna picked up a pillow and hurled it at him. "Stop being ridiculous!"

The man took it with ease as a smile played on his lips. "I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"

"Neither."

"Forget it, then."

Leanna was silent for a moment before turning to him. "Hey, tell me."

"Didn't you say you didn't want to know?"

Hearing that, Leanna hurled another pillow at him. Aidan looked smilingly at her as he decided to stop teasing her. "We found out that Jimmy has been transferring a lot of his assets to several overseas accounts."

"Is that good news or bad news?"

"Bad news," Aidan explained. "It means that Jimmy is ready to run away. Once he leaves Highside, the Crossley Group will have to take responsibility for the problems he's created."

Leanna frowned and asked, "What about the good news?"

"The good news is that Jimmy is involved in a murder case, so he's been barred from leaving the country."

Leanna was startled upon hearing that. "A murder case?"

Aidan asked calmly, "Do you remember Elliot?"

"Yes, but he…"

"We haven't found the murderer in that case, so it has been aptly used to keep Jimmy grounded in the country."

A smile appeared on Leanna's face. "Did you do it?"

Aidan arched his brow. "Although I love how you look at me with admiration, I'm sorry to tell you that it has nothing to do with me."

Leanna ignored him. A moment later, Aidan went on to say, "He'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to see him off?"

Leanna pressed her lips together. "Probably not. I don't have a reason to be there."

"It's easy to find a reason," Aidan said slowly. "As a business partner, it's only natural that I'll be seeing him off. Meanwhile, as my wife, you have every reason to come with me."

"Thank you very much," Leanna said scornfully.

"You're welcome. As your husband, that's the least I can do."

Leanna snuck under the quilt. "I don't know. Let me think about it and don't say anything else!"

The instant she finished speaking, she realized it was indeed quiet outside the quilt. Feeling stuffy a moment later, she stuck out her head, only to see Aidan going through some documents on the couch. She said, "Give one of the pillows back to me."

Aidan looked up without saying a word. Then, he lifted his chin and motioned for her to take it herself.

Left with no choice, Leanna got out of bed and walked over. The moment she picked up a pillow, she felt a grab on her wrist. The next second, she fell into the man's warm embrace. Before she could say anything, darkness descended on her as the man clenched the back of her head and locked lips with hers.

After the kiss ended, Leanna found it hard to breathe while feeling light-headed. She pressed her hands against the man's chest and snapped, "How… How could you do such a thing to me all of a sudden?"

Aidan then wrapped his arm around the woman's waist. "You told me not to say anything."

"Was that how you interpreted it?"

"How should I have done it, then?"

Leanna patted his hand. "Release me. I need to get some sleep."

"Can you even fall asleep at this hour?"

An unfazed Leanna said, "I'll doze off as soon as I close my eyes."

Aidan snorted. "Don't get any sleep yet. There's something you have to do."
