Chapter 747 Why Rush

Leanna pondered for a moment before saying, "But those people aren't idiots. They would've figured out it was a trap the moment Philip appeared."

"Still on about this, huh?" Aidan flicked her forehead lightly.

"No, I just think it's risky. Also, Charlotte… What if something happens to her if things get out of hand?"

"It is indeed risky, but the patriarchy of the Woodley Family has never been obtained through stability."

Leanna parted her lips but didn't know what to say.

Aidan had a point. Since Charlotte's grandfather and father had banded together to plot the scheme, they would be confident about keeping her safe.

After a while, Aidan released Leanna and leaned against the railing behind him. "Whether it was Lachlan saving their lives in a critical moment and earning their gratitude or witnessing firsthand how Lachlan cornered Joseph step by step, they won't act recklessly anymore. At least for a short period, none of the Woodleys will have any objections to Lachlan," he explained curtly.

At that, Leanna bit her lip lightly and leaned next to him.

Their plan was indeed clever. First, they made the Woodleys believe Lachlan saved their lives. Then, when they began to sense something was amiss, they would witness how Lachlan dealt with Joseph, leaving them no room to complain. Even if they had grievances, they had no choice but to swallow them.

Moments later, Leanna smiled and said, "I finally understand how those rumors about Lachlan spread."

The man was indeed ruthless and artful, so it was natural people would tremble at the mere mention of his name.

"By the way, now that things have settled down in Jamesdon, can we bring the little one back home?" Leanna looked at Aidan with a hint of worry.

Previously, they thought the situation in Jamesdon was complex and unsafe with Philip's passing, which was why Aidan suggested bringing the medical team to Highside. But now…

Lachlan probably wouldn't agree with them taking away his medical team.

"Of course," Aidan said, ruffling her hair.

"Really?" Leanna's eyes lit up.

"Would I ever lie to you?" Aidan said slowly. "I've already told you, didn't I? It's your wedding gift."

"Thanks." Leanna beamed.

Aidan lifted his brows slightly and inched closer to her while suggesting, "Well, instead of talking about those two—"

Leanna wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. This time, she didn't pull away like before. Instead, she closed her eyes and slowly let her tongue explore as usual.

Aidan's gaze deepened, and he placed his hand around her waist. In an instant, he took the lead, deepening the kiss.

As the night grew darker, the chilling breeze became even colder. Thus, Aidan carried Leanna to the bedroom and placed her on the couch before resuming their kiss.

After being entangled on the couch for some time, Leanna suddenly spoke up. "Aidan."

"Hmm?" The man hummed.

"Let's have another child," she mumbled, tightening her hand on his waist unconsciously.

Aidan paused, looking at her. "Is it because of what Waylen said yesterday morning? Ignore him."

Leanna shook her head at that and gazed at the nearby bed. "I just think our little one wouldn't feel so lonely if he had a brother or sister to play with. Also, having two children would make our family livelier, don't you think? Just imagine how heartwarming it'll be."

"One is lively enough," said Aidan after a moment's silence.

"It's fine if you don't want another child," Leanna said, but Aidan argued, "Do you think I wouldn't want to? I just don't want you to… suffer too much."

She knew exactly what he meant. The doctor once told her that her chances of getting pregnant were very slim, and Aidan probably didn't want her to have high hopes only to be disappointed in the end, especially when the feeling would be difficult to digest.

"But didn't you say it yourself? Just because the chances are slim doesn't mean there are none," she whispered. "Things will look up if I listen to the doctor and heal my body."

However, Aidan only pursed his lips and said nothing, so Leanna resorted to provocation. "When I was pregnant with our little one, I was constantly on edge, and you mistreated me. I didn't have a single moment to calm down and take care of myself properly. After giving birth to him, I couldn't even watch him grow up. So, I want to have another child and experience those things I've overlooked, as well as the things I've missed…"

"And how have I mistreated you?" Aidan argued in a whisper, riveting his gaze on her.

"You're missing the point."

"I know what you're trying to say," Aidan said. "Did the doctor mention any specific methods for healing?"

His burning gaze was so intense that Leanna looked away guiltily. "Just eat and rest well and take good care of myself."
