I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 575

Leanna stared at his injured arm. In less than two seconds, she took the bag of stuff back. "Never mind, thanks."

Aidan pursed his thin lips as he asked quietly, "Are you still mad?"

She said expressionlessly, "It's in my nature to stay mad for as long as I can."

He was speechless.

At least she was still willing to talk to him.

Just then, the elevator doors opened. Leanna walked out with everything in her hand. She placed the bag of stuff at the door so that she could free her hands to key in the password.

When the door opened, she took the bag of stuff inside.

She didn't close the door.

When Aidan saw that, he discreetly licked his lips.

Was she leaving it open for him? Wasn't this too good to be true?

After Leanna went in, she placed the bag of stuff on the table, then asked Louis, "How was he? Did he cry?"

Louis replied, "No, he's behaving quite well."

She raised the corners of her lips. She walked up to the little guy who was playing with his toys, then sat down in front of him. "Go and get some rest. I bought some food, so you can reheat them if you're hungry."

Louis said, "I'm going to wash some fruits."

He had just gotten up when he noticed the person pushing the door open and walking in. He said, "Now that I think of it, we seem to be running out of fruits. I'll buy more downstairs."

With that, he left in a hurry.

Aidan closed the door and walked up to Leanna, then sat leisurely on the couch.

When the little guy saw Aidan, he revealed two tiny teeth as he giggled.

Aidan curved his thin lips, then beckoned toward the child. The little guy immediately put down his toys and crawled over to Aidan.

Leanna was speechless. Weren't the two at odds with each other before? It seemed like they had bonded quite well recently.

She took a deep breath, then got up and boiled some water to make milk for the little guy.

When the water was at an appropriate temperature, Leanna poured it into the milk bottle and shook it. She was about to turn around and walk back when a figure leaned into her.

Aidan supported himself with both hands on the table, trapping her in his arms as he asked, "Are you still mad?"

Leanna raised her head and met his gaze. "Enough to power an entire building."

Aidan fell silent.

He chuckled in a deep voice, then leaned in closer to her, the tip of his nose touching hers as he said, "I'm sorry. Please stop being mad at me, okay? Forgive me."

Leanna stared at his injured arm. In less than two seconds, she took the bag of stuff back. "Never mind, thanks."
She was unaffected, her expression calm as she responded, "I've given you so many chances before, but you don't seem to care about what I think at all. Do you know that when I look back on how I behaved, I feel like I'm a fool being toyed with by you? Some time ago, I even suspected that I was sick and wanted to see the doctor. Even under those circumstances, you didn't tell me the truth. Tell me, what am I forgiving you for? For treating me like a fool and deceiving me?"

Aidan said, "I didn't stop you from seeing the doctor, did I?"

"Yes, but after talking to the doctor, I was even more convinced that I was crazy."

She smoothed out her hair by her ear. "Even if you're crazy, you're still beautiful."

Leanna looked at him expressionlessly, thinking that she should get some dish soap.

Aidan's tone was low as he said, "I was originally thinking that I'd tell you everything when I brought him out of the Pearson Family, but I didn't expect something to go wrong. I didn't intend to hide it from you for so long, but I didn't know how to approach the subject. I'm scared that you'd ignore me if you knew—just like what you're doing right now."

His voice was a little low with hints of desolation mixed in.

Leanna sneered. "Must be hard for you."

He said, "As a man, carrying responsibilities like this shouldn't be a big deal."

She couldn't be bothered with him as she reached out and pushed him. "Get off."

Aidan was unmoving as he gazed intently at her with his dark eyes. "Honey, give me one more chance, alright?"

"So, you're not moving, are you?"

Leanna stepped on his foot, and before he could react, she bent down and tunneled out of his embrace.

She sat next to the little guy, then poured some milk on the back of her hand. The temperature was just right. So, she carried the little guy in her arms and began feeding him.

The little guy sat in her embrace, holding the milk bottle with both hands. He quickly finished the milk, then looked up at Leanna as he waved the milk bottle in his little hands, saying happily, "Mama…"

Leanna curved her lips into a smile, then placed him next to the pile of toys. "Go and play."

Aidan walked over to them, then kneeled on one knee in front of the little guy. He scratched the child's chin as he said, "Come on, say 'Daddy'."

The little guy glanced at Aidan. There was no reaction from him as he mumbled continuously, "Mama…"

Aidan felt his veins pop. Since when had the child learned to call 'Mama' and nothing else?

When Aidan saw that the little guy was focusing all his attention on his toys and had no intention of responding, he grabbed the toy from the child's hands as he repeated patiently, "Say 'Daddy'."

When Aidan saw that the little guy was focusing all his attention on his toys and had no intention of responding, he grabbed the toy from the child's hands as he repeated patiently, "Say 'Daddy'."

Noticing that his favorite toy was gone, the little guy pursed his lips, then turned around to hug Leanna's leg. Tears welled in his eyes as he sobbed, "Mama…"

Leanna looked at Aidan. "What's wrong with you? Why are you bothering him?"

"He's not calling me 'Daddy'."

"Isn't that normal?"

Aidan frowned, upset. "How is that normal?"

She carried the pitiful child in her arms. "Children can tell if you're good or not. If he's not calling you 'Daddy', it can only mean that you're not a good person in his eyes."

"Didn't you see how happy he was when I came in just now?"
