Chapter 400

Leanna woke up far too early as her digital clock shone at her with the time of 6.00AM. She turned her attention to her window and saw that it was still dark. Still, she didn't get up as she remained deep in thought.

She spent the whole night trying to figure out why Aidan chose this time to bring her to meet Naomi.

It was definitely not because Leanna had mentioned it to him.

Before this, whenever she mentioned wanting to meet Naomi, he would always change the topic. So, she didn't expect him to bring her here directly this time.

She didn't understand what was going on in that head of his.

Since there was no way Leanna was returning to sleep with her hyperactive brain, she pushed off the covers after a while and headed to the garden.

When she quietly shut the door, Aidan slowly opened his eyes.

The sun slowly made its appearance and painted the dawn sky with a myriad of colors. When Leanna arrived at the garden, it was bright enough for her to make out a walking path.

Then, she sat down on a swing as it rocked gently.

The air was crisp and the breeze brought along the faint fragrance of flowers.

She had been a bundle of nerves due to recent events. It was relaxing to be able to sit there and let her mind wander.

She spent about an hour in the garden as her thoughts began to settle. By then, the sun was shining brightly.

When she took a look at her phone to check the time, she realized it was almost time for breakfast. So, she headed to the kitchen to prepare food.

That was because they would have to return to Highside right after breakfast. Even then, it would have been noon when they arrived.

When Naomi freshened up, she saw that Leanna had already prepared breakfast and asked, "Why didn't you sleep in, Leanna?"

Leanna smiled. "I had a good night's rest. Unfortunately, I couldn't fall back asleep once I woke up."

Naomi offered, "Leave the rest up to me. You should wake Aidan up."

"Sure," Leanna answered as she went up the stairs and pushed open the door to see Aidan putting on a shirt.
