Chapter 27

Aidan remained silent for a moment before replying, "That's not necessary."

Aidan remained silent for a moment before replying, "That's not necessary."

He was not keen to see her right now.

Ever since he was brought back to the Pearson Family as the illegitimate son, he had been disgusted by the so-called blood ties and bloodline.

That was even more so when he stepped through the doors of the Pearson Family Estate and saw Justin Pearson, who was paralyzed in a wheelchair with eyes that were nothing but darkness. The lavishness of the place could not even mask the corruption and inferiority that was radiated in the air. With that, Aidan was suffocated by the sight of it.

As such, Leanna's action of using her unborn child as a bargaining chip had undoubtedly crossed the line for him.

Aidan took out his phone and unlocked it once again before staring at the blank chatbox. Since he had deleted Leanna's contact previously, he could no longer look back on the precious texts sent by her. No concerning texts, no more incessant nagging words nor any 'I'm waiting for you' messages. Just… blank.

He tapped on the input box with his slender fingers and typed a sentence before slowly backspacing it again.

An hour later, the phone rang by Leanna's bedside just as she was about to go to sleep.

She glanced at her phone with half-opened eyes and noticed the cold words sent by the b*stard. 'You've got twenty-five days left.'

At that moment, she was rendered speechless. Does he really need to send me a countdown at this time of the night?

She considered the situation for a moment and could not be bothered to reply to that. She merely responded with an emoji of an OK sign. Her reply was proper and solemn, which signified her determination to repay him the money on time.

However, she was significantly displeased by his action of disrupting her sleep, so she instantly changed his name from 'b*stard' to 'stingy man'.
