Chapter 560

The following day, when Leanna awoke, the room was filled with sunlight. Her entire body was aching. After lazily stretching, she checked her phone to realize it was nearly noon. The realization shocked her out of her sleepy haze. Why doesn't my alarm sound?

When she was about to scramble out of bed, she received a phone call from Aidan.

"Are you still sleeping?" he softly asked.

"I just woke up," she replied, dashing into the bathroom as she spoke. "Did you turn off my alarm?"

Aidan gave an affirmative hum. "You have Freddie at the Crossley Group. You can go in the afternoon."

Leanna then pouted and tilted her head to continue speaking on the phone while squeezing out some toothpaste, saying, "I see. I have to brush my teeth now. Talk to you later."

"Alice made lunch. Eat before you go."

She instinctively glanced out the doorway. "How do you know that?"

He smirked. "There is nothing I don't know. I'll pick you up tonight."

After hanging up, she freshened up as quickly as possible before changing. As soon as she reached the bottom of the steps, she was greeted by the scent of food.

Hearing her footsteps, Alice looked up at Leanna. "You're awake, Madam. Come eat."

Before Leanna moved back into Castor Villa, she somewhat disliked that place. After all, there were a lot of unhappy memories here. Still, perhaps it was because the whole home had been renovated, but that uneasy feeling had vanished. Presently, she only felt a sense of life and a comforting warmth. Moreover, she had lived in many places, but only this place felt like home.

After lunch, she drove to the Crossley Group. The assistant told her Freddie was out on business and would only be back an hour later. She nodded and sat down to wait.
