Chapter 727 Acting Fast

When Leanna returned to her studio, it was already close to noon.

Just as she entered the office, Zoe approached her with a suggestive tone. "Where's your Mr. Pearson?"

"He went to Crossley Group to deal with the follow-up collaborations," Leanna replied.

Seated across from her, Zoe arched an eyebrow and inquired, "Didn't you two have any plans for a date or something today?"

Leanna flipped open her notepad and replied, "A date? In the middle of the day? I've got a heap of piled-up work waiting to be done."

"How can it be the same? Didn't you two register for marriage today?"

Leanna remained silent for a moment before asking, "How did you know?"

"It's all over the internet," Zoe replied, pointing at her phone.

Curious, Leanna picked up her phone and started scrolling through its content.

The photos were taken from the side and back of her and Aidan. Although the pictures were slightly blurry, it was still possible to make out their identities.

There was a photo of them taken on the steps of the Civil Affairs Bureau after they obtained their marriage certificate.

The warm and radiant sunlight was ascending behind them. In the photo, she wore a beaming smile on her face, while Aidan tilted his head to gaze at her as his lips curved into a gentle smile.

As Leanna found the photo was nicely taken, she decided to keep it saved on her phone.

"The last time I saw you smiling so happily was when you got divorced," Zoe commented, her voice tinged with nostalgia.

At once, Leanna was rendered speechless.

How rare it is to see Zoe and Aidan on the same page about this.

After contemplating for a moment, she questioned, "Was I truly happy when I got divorced?"

Zoe rested her chin on her hand as she recalled. "You were all smiles, but it was more like a huge weight off your shoulders. At that time, you were filled with anticipation for the future, clearly exhausted and done with your old life."
