Chapter 57

Leanna was about to leave, and then she saw Anna coming to her. Goddammit. Is everyone in their family a stalker?

Anna approached Zayn, ignoring Leanna. "Why didn't you take my call, Zayn?"

Zayn was a gentle soul, but even he was annoyed by Anna's incessant stalking. Over the last couple of days, no matter where he went, she would appear not long after for some reason. He said coldly, "Miss Pearson, I don't want you in my sights. Get it?"

Anna's face fell and she glared at Leanna. "It's because of her, isn't it? You were nicer to me before you came back. That b*tch—"

"Enough!" Zayn stood up. "Anna, stop acting like a child! I've had enough of your tantrums!"

"Tantrums? But we've met each other's parents! We'll be engaged sooner or later! I should—"

He replied coldly, "I'll never get engaged with you. Please know your place, Miss Pearson. You don't want to embarrass your family."

Before Anna could answer, Aidan said coldly, "I see you hate being disturbed as well. So, why are you doing the same thing to Leanna, Mr. Barnett?"

The voice of Aidan made Leanna's heart skip a beat. He's here? Since when? And how much did he hear?

Anna was about to bristle, but she calmed down. "Hi, Aidan," she whispered.

Aidan gazed at her before he turned his attention to Zayn.

Zayn pursed his lips and stared at him as well.

Jonathan was standing far, far away, but he could still feel sparks flying in the air.

Zayn said, "I thought you already divorced her, Mr. Pearson. Why are you here? Do you have something in mind?"

Aidan said nothing. He licked his lips as the look in his eyes changed.
