Chapter 621 Just Feeling a Bit Tired

After arriving at the hotel, Leanna couldn't shake off the unease in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Jonathan said, "Miss McKinney, don't worry. We have our people outside of the Woodley Residence. President Pearson won't run into trouble."

"I'm not worried about that," Leanna whispered.

Her intuition told her that Aidan had heard the news, and the truth was not easy to accept.

Recently, Jonathan also learned about Naomi's relationship with the Woodley Family. Although he had been uncertain before, it seemed that Aidan had already found the answer today at the Woodley Family Estate.

Outside, the sky gradually darkened. It had started to rain at some point.

Aidan had not returned yet.

Leanna took a deep breath and couldn't wait any longer.

As soon as she left the hotel room, she ran into Jonathan.



Half an hour later by the river…

By now, the rain had started to drizzle, and there was a hint of cold in the wind.

Leanna watched Aidan's back and suddenly felt a lump in her throat. "Has he been standing here since he left the Woodley Residence?"

Jonathan nodded. "It's been several hours and yet, no one dares to go up and talk to him."

The reason why he had gone to find Leanna was to ask her to come over.

Leanna pursed her lips and opened her umbrella as she alighted from the car.

She walked up to Aidan and held the umbrella over his head.

It was only after a while that Aidan seemed to react slowly and turned to look at her. His voice was hoarse when he asked, "Why did you come?"

The rain had already soaked through Aidan, and water droplets were falling from his hair.

Leanna's voice was very light when she murmured, "It's raining. Aren't you going back?"


Aidan looked up and realized that it was already dark.

He withdrew his gaze and some emotion could be seen in his pitch-black eyes. "Let's go."

On the way back, Aidan's eyes were half-closed and he didn't say a word the entire time.

After they went inside the car, he was dead silent too.

Leanna tried to speak several times but held back her words every time they reached her lips.

When they returned to the hotel, Aidan went straight into the bathroom.

Leanna went to the bedroom to get him some sleepwear before quietly approaching the bathroom door. "I've put your clothes outside the door."

From the bathroom, Aidan responded with a low hum.

Leanna went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Fortunately, the ingredients she bought a few days ago were still there.

Aidan had been in the rain for so long that he was at risk of catching a cold. Hence, she made some ginger soup and started to cook some spaghetti.

When the soup was almost done, he emerged from the bathroom.

As Leanna poured the soup, she stated, "You came out at the right time. Drink this."

Aidan walked over and sat at the dining table.

After Leanna cooled the soup slightly, she put it in front of Aidan and said, "Drink this first. Dinner will be ready soon."

After saying that, she went to the kitchen to scoop the spaghetti out of the pot and prepare the sauce.

When she finished everything and turned around, she saw Aidan still sitting at the table in the same posture. Truth was, she did not have an inkling of what he was thinking.

Leanna paused for a few seconds before walking over and waving a hand in front of him. "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Let me go get some cold medicine for you."

Aidan's eyes moved slightly and he said flatly, "There's no need."

When he picked up the ginger soup before him and was about to drink it, Leanna grabbed his hand.

"This bowl has cooled down," she murmured. "Let me reheat it for you—"

Before she could finish that sentence, Aidan had already gulped it down.

Leanna looked at her empty hand, a chill lingering in her palm.

She frowned. "Why are your hands still so cold?"

Aidan put down the bowl and countered in an indifferent tone, "Do they?"

Her frown deepened as she grabbed his hand again, feeling the icy coldness.

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind.

She couldn't help but raise her voice as she asked, "Did you take a shower with cold water?"

Aidan replied flatly, "I don't remember."

Although Leanna was worried about him, his behavior also made her angry. "You got caught in the rain and took a cold shower, huh? Are you tired of living? Didn't you say that communication is vital for problem-solving? Your current behavior is making me…"

Leanna choked up as she spoke up and her eyes instantly turned red.

Aidan held her hand back and comforted her in a low voice, "I'm fine; just a bit tired."

Leanna had never seen him like this before, and she suppressed her urge to cry. "Then, have something and go to sleep. I'll go and buy some cold medicine for you."

"It's not that easy to get sick. Let's eat first."

Aidan tugged on Leanna's hand and had her sit next to him.
