Chapter 713 That’s Not How You Kissed Me This Morning

With her coat on, Leanna bumped into Zoe, who was yawning and waiting for the elevator, just as she walked out. Seeing her, Zoe said, "Nana? I didn't expect to see you up this early."

"I'm heading downstairs to get breakfast. Where are you going so early?"

"I lost my phone last night, remember? I'll buy a new one and get a replacement SIM card while at it."

Leanna said, "Then, I'll come with you."

"Don't worry. You're still recovering from your cold. I can go by myself. Plus, it's a good chance for me to stroll around."

Leanna nodded. "You might as well eat before you leave. I've already made soup."

Zoe yawned once more. "I'll just grab something on the way. Don't worry about me. You should rest at home today."

As they were talking, the elevator arrived on the first floor and Zoe pushed Leanna forward. "Go get your breakfast. Don't forget to take your cold medicine. I'll be going now."

Leanna stood outside and waved at her. "It's raining today, so drive safe."

Zoe replied, "Okay, got it."

The elevator doors closed, and it soon descended to the basement floor. Leanna shifted her gaze and walked outside. The rain seemed gentle, yet the raindrops drumming on the umbrella produced sporadic, muted sounds.

While buying breakfast, she overheard the conversations of passersby in the breakfast shop discussing Leroy's fatal fall from a building and the significant decline in Crossley Group's stock price.

Everyone could not help but sigh, as no one could have anticipated that Crossley Group, which once stood alongside Pearson Group, would find itself in such a predicament.

Contrary to the slight fluctuation in Pearson Group's stock price after Aidan's departure, Justin's efficient management resulted in an upward trend in the stock price instead of a decline.

In light of the significant drop in Crossley Group's stock price, many investors chose to sell its stocks and shift their investments to Pearson Group's stocks instead.


Holding her umbrella, Leanna listened to their discussions with an expressionless face. When the breakfast shop owner handed her the bag with her takeaway meal, she thanked him and departed.

As she arrived back, she found Aidan examining the stock prices of Crossley Group. She put down her things and uttered, "Let's eat first."

The soup in the pot was perfectly cooked in the meantime. As Leanna uncovered the lid, the delightful aroma of vegetables filled the air and awakened a slight hunger within her. After finishing the meal, she felt a noticeable improvement in her dizziness and stuffy nose and no longer desired to take more medicine.

Pouring her a glass of water, Aidan gently caressed her rosy cheek. "If you're staying in today, it's fine not to take the medicine. We'll see how things go for tonight." After some thought, she ultimately decided to take the medicine.

She gazed at the steaming hot water in front of her and turned to him, asking, "Aren't you planning to go out today?"

"I'm going to visit Crossley Group."

"Do I need to go as well?"

"If you want to."

She paused for a moment. "Never mind. Even if I go, I'm not sure what I can do. Zoe must be struggling with Daniel's situation, even if she doesn't express it openly. I should be there for her."

Aidan pursed his lips slightly but remained silent.

She asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. It's still uncertain for now. I'll tell you later tonight."

Leanna responded, "If you need me, just call me."

Aidan nodded. "Take your medicine. I'll drive you to your studio later."

"Okay." She touched her glass and found the water temperature to be just right. After she finished taking her medicine, he emerged from the bedroom with his clothes changed.

On their way to the studio, the rain intensified, indicating that it was unlikely to stop anytime soon. When they arrived at the studio entrance, Leanna unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "I should get going. Take care on the road. Goodbye."

Her wrist was held as she reached for the handle and fell back into the seat. Puzzled, she glanced at the man beside her. With one hand on the steering wheel, the serious-looking Aidan tilted his head slightly toward her.

She failed to comprehend his gesture.

Twitching his lips, he slowly said, "Repeat what you did this morning when you went out to get breakfast."

Baffled at first, she swiftly grasped the situation and burst into laughter. What a childish man. She leaned in closer and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. Just as she was about to alight from the car, his grip on her hand remained firm.

Leanna was confused. "What now?"

Aidan complained, "That's not how you kissed me this morning."

Speechless, she asked patiently, "How did I do it, then?"

He looked at her and explained, word by word, "You wrapped both hands around my neck and threw yourself into my arms. And when you kissed me passionately, you even emitted a sound."

Leanna was left speechless by his shameless audacity in uttering those words.
