Chapter 37

It would only take a word from Aidan's lips for Leanna to give up her baby back then.

It would only take a word from Aidan's lips for Leanna to give up her baby back then.

It was just as easy as that.

So, tell me. What exactly have I terribly done wrong?

After leaving Lux Jewelry, Leanna took a cab to the Pearson Group.

Without any registration needed, the Pearson Group's receptionist had only asked her last name before leading her directly to the president's exclusive elevator as if they had been expecting her.

Leanna recalled the scenario when she was here to deliver some documents to Aidan a long time ago. At that time, she was afraid to tell any of the employees that she was his wife for fear that it would make his blood blood. Hence, what she ended up doing was standing quietly at the reception desk like a fool until the receptionist was available to tend to her. Only then was her arrival reported to their superior.

In the end, that b*stard even gave her an attitude.

When Leanna exited the elevator, Jonathan was already waiting for her.

"Madam, President Pearson is in a meeting. He invited you to wait in his office," he stated.

However, Leanna could not help but correct him, "Please refrain from calling me Madam. I don't deserve that title."

Struck by her words, Jonathan remained silent. Well, that was self-deprecating of her to say.

He tried to cough off the awkwardness before extending his arm. "Ma—Miss McKinney, please."

As she sat in Aidan's office, she said to Jonathan while looking at the coffee he brought, "Could you help get me a cup of hot water? The kind that can scald people if you spill it?"

"Miss McKinney… You have a great sense of humor."

"Not as great as President Pearson," she responded while smiling.
