Chapter 340

When Leanna was done with her meal, she felt comfortable, a feeling that she seemed to have missed for the past couple of days.

Noticing that, Aidan asked, "Are the Crossleys not feeding you properly?"

Nestled on the couch, she replied, "I'm reluctant to eat with them. I'm afraid that I'll end up with an upset stomach instead." During her stay with the Crossley Family over the past few days, her schedule was basically coming into the office to have a meal in the morning and taking another meal in the evening before going back. It was already hard enough for her to stay with them under the same roof, let alone share the same table to have meals with them. To her, it was worse than death by a thousand cuts. Sighing as she mulled over these thoughts, she then said, "Alice's cooking is really good. It's so much more delicious than take-outs."

"You'll be able to have them every day once you move back in with me," he said casually.

Leanna cleared her throat as she knew just what the man was insinuating. As she didn't want to continue with that line of the conversation, she said, "By the way, Lloyd brought me to the cemetery to pay respects to his wife today."

"Did you?"

"Nope, but guess who I bumped into there."

"Who?"

"William Morris. It's quite a coincidence, isn't it? He has a friend who is also buried there."

"It is," Aidan replied indifferently.

"Actually, I feel that William is a mysterious man." After a brief moment of thought, she then continued, "Since he's a businessman, he should be well aware of what's going on with the Crossley Group. Yet, he still chose to collaborate with them at such a time. Either he plans to use Crossley Group as a stepping stone and use this short period of collaboration as an opportunity to expand his business, or…"
