Chapter 500

Aidan raised his eyebrows. "Love needs to develop on its own. You cannot rush it."

"Just who was impatient before?" Leanna shot him an unhappy look.

He smiled. Unable to deny her pointed question, he gently bit her ear. "Well, I am also quite impatient now."

She stared at him, speechless.

His hands wandered into her clothes as he languidly said, "You don't need to worry so much. Their relationship might be progressing better than you imagined."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Play along and I'll sell you a piece of exclusive news."

A moan escaped her lips. She tried to pull his hands away, but it was useless. "What exclusive news?"

"Have you ever wondered why Zoe's ex-boyfriend never showed his face again?"

She had not wondered about that before. However, now that he mentioned it, she could not help but freeze. "Daniel did it, didn't he?"

He must have.

When Zoe told Leanna of Anthony barging into her home, she said he only left after Daniel beat him up.

Leanna had thought that it was the end of the incident.

She did not expect to hear that there was more to the story.

"Why else? Did anyone think he would've seen the light and amended his ways?"

"In that case, Daniel really..."

"Alright," he interrupted. "You have your piece of news. It is time for the payment."

His response rendered her speechless once more.

"I have to wake up early tomorrow," she whispered. Her mind was still reeling from the revelation.

"Work with me, and we will end early," he murmured back.
