Chapter 98

After another night of rest, Leanna's cold improved a lot, but as she had slept too much the day before, she woke up as early as eight the next morning.

When she went downstairs, Naomi was preparing breakfast. She probably didn't expect Leanna to be up so early. "Oh, Leanna, just give me a moment. Your breakfast will be ready in a while."

"It's fine, Ms. Fletcher, I'm not hungry yet. I'll go outside and walk around."

"Just come back when it's time."

"All right."

Recently, the weather had gradually turned cooler. Although a trace of sunshine passed through the clouds, there was no warmth to be felt. A small bridge nearby was covered with golden leaves, a sign that fall was coming. After Leanna walked around leisurely for a while, she returned home and was just about to enter when she was suddenly grabbed from behind.

She turned around. "Ms. Shaffer?"

Wendy sneakily looked inside the house before she made a shushing gesture to Leanna and pulled her to her house instead.

Seeing that, Leanna asked in confusion, "Ms. Shaffer, did something happen?"

Wendy closed the door before saying, "Leanna, I want to ask you something. What do you think of President Pearson?"

What did she think? If she talked about this, she wouldn't feel sleepy anymore. It would take her at least three days and three nights to finish bad mouthing that b*stard.

Leanna pondered for a moment before saying, "Why are you asking me this, Ms. Shaffer?"

Wendy asked, "Do you know that he's Naomi's son?"

Leanna nodded.

"Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence? As soon as this place is about to be demolished, Naomi's son suddenly showed up, and that son is even an unfilial child who hadn't visited her in 20 years."
