Chapter 23

Leanna held an IOU in her hand as she knocked on the door to his study room gingerly. Subsequently, she insisted repeatedly that she would definitely find a way to repay the money she owed him.

Leanna held an IOU in her hand as she knocked on the door to his study room gingerly. Subsequently, she insisted repeatedly that she would definitely find a way to repay the money she owed him.

Throughout the entire process, Aidan stared at her coldly with a hint of mockery and disdain in his eyes.

During that period, she had been practically bedridden every day as he left marks all over her body revengefully.

After he finally gave her the money, he did not mask his contempt at all as he said, "You don't have to repay me. I thought that was the main purpose of you scheming so hard to marry me?"

Of course, she did not respond to that. It's all thanks to that entrepreneur who criticized me for not having any goals. It's quite true that I don’t have the money to repay him right now.

It was one thing for Aidan to state that she was exempted from repaying him the money, but she insisted on leaving the IOU with him.

It does make sense for him to seek repayment from me after our divorce.

Zoe was happily catching up on a TV series in her room when she suddenly heard clanging noises in the kitchen.

Zoe went over and asked, "Sweetie, what are you chopping up there?"

"Aidan!"

"Huh?"

Leanna glanced at the piece of ginger in smithereens before her and finally, she regained her senses. "It's no big deal. I'm heading out later, so don't wait up for me. You should go to bed early."

Zoe knew without even taking a guess that it was Aidan causing trouble for Leanna. With a frown, she asked, "What does he intend to do again? You guys are divorced, so why can't he just leave you alone?!"

"Forget about it. I owe it to him in the first place."

"Well, it might be fine right now, but it won't be when your baby bump shows up in two months. You wouldn't be able to hide things by then."

Leanna held a knife in her hand and left it suspended in mid-air without any words coming out from her mouth.
