Chapter 478
Leanna shook her head. "Since he knew about it before I did but chose to keep quiet, he must have had his reasons."
"Are you saying that you've forgiven him?"
"He didn't do anything that hurt me, so there's nothing for me to forgive him about."
She was also relieved that they hadn't revealed the secret all along. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to imagine how things would turn out if Louis knew about it.
If that happened, it might put everyone in an awkward situation.
Aidan probably saw through her thoughts, so he frowned slightly and said, "You just need to know what you want to do. You don't have to consider everybody's feelings."
Leanna patiently repeated, "Louis is my brother, and he's also my only—"
"Leanna, it doesn't matter if he's the only one or one of the many. You need to know that you need to prioritize yourself; the others come after. There's nothing wrong with living for yourself just once."
At this moment, she parted her lips, seemingly wanting to rebuke him, but before she could say anything, he continued, "Do you know why you are under so much pressure? It's because you always care about others' feelings, and that causes you to overthink things. That's why you're living a tiring life."
"I don't always care about others' feelings. I just don't want to let Louis…"
"He's already 20. He's an adult. If he can't even accept and digest this little matter, do you think everything you've done for him is worth it?"
After some time, she said softly, "But that's what I want to do. No one is more important to me than Louis. If I need to choose one person in my life, I'll only choose him."
"Not even me?" He lifted his brows.
Hearing that, she looked him in the eyes and said softly, "Why must you invite humiliation upon yourself?"
Aidan had no comeback for that. After he turned off the light, he said, "It's time to sleep."
Leanna blinked in the dark. "Are you mad again?"
"No." His emotions at that moment couldn't be discerned from his voice.
"Why did you ask such a question when you already know the answer? Also, didn't you ask me to prioritize myself? I'm just following my heart."
Right then, he scoffed. "Huh."
When she saw him like that, a smile tugged on her lips, and it was evident that she was in a better mood. She no longer rejected the idea of Alice following her anymore and even said, "I want to go shopping tomorrow. What time will Alice be here?"
"She'll be here when you weke up."
