Chapter 89

Chapter 89 My Ex-husband Isn’t That Great Either Leanna wasn’t surprised at the frantic accusations Anna threw at her. After falling silent for a moment, she asked, “Do you believe it, President Pearson?” “Whether I believe it or not depends on your answer.” “No, it’s not his.” Leanna didn’t seem to be in the mood for pointless explanations. She merely replied, “President Pearson, you can find out how many days I’ve been pregnant, as well as the time of Zayn’s return from abroad.” Aidan impassively withdrew his gaze without saying a word.

Leanna opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she thought it was futile to do so. A few seconds later, Aidan’s voice finally rang. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. It’s not that I believe you; it’s just that I don’t believe Anna.” Leanna was rendered speechless. What sort of bullsh*t is that? However, Aidan added, “Leanna, none of the Pearsons are kind.” Including me. Leanna didn’t refute him. He’s right about that. He’s the worst among them, after all. Still… She whispered, “I think your eldest brother is different from them.” Aidan asked, “How do you know that?” “I’ve come into contact with him several times. One’s character can be sensed from their behavior.” “In that case, why couldn’t I sense from your behavior that you were admired by so many people?” Leanna was lost for words. Taking a deep breath, she replied, “President Pearson, let’s discuss this on its own merits. Could you please not stoop to personal abuse?!”

Aidan’s lips curled almost imperceptibly. “I’m only discussing the topic on its own merits. What else do you have other than your face? Or are they too stupid to see your heart through the surface?”

“President Pearson, I think that if your opinion on something is different from everyone else’s, then you should consider if the problem is with you.” “Well then, tell me how I blamed you unjustly.” Leanna fell

silent; she was at a loss for a retort. She had forced him into marrying her after getting pregnant. Not only that, but she had repeatedly asked him for money or used her pregnancy to dare him to divorce her. Even though she might not be as scheming as he thought, all of this had indeed happened. Aidan let out a noncommittal sneer. Leanna said, “It’s getting late. Do you still wanna hang around, President Pearson? If not, I gotta go back.” “As you wish.” Leanna couldn’t wait for him to say that. “Well then, I gotta go. Goodbye, President Pearson.” Seeing how she left without looking back, Aidan had displeasure written all over his face. What a heartless woman. It wasn’t until Leanna disappeared from his sight that Aidan finally withdrew his gaze. However, just as he was about to leave, a figure emerged not far from him. “Aidan.” … When Leanna went back and saw that Naomi wasn’t around, she figured that the latter might have gone to meet Aidan, so she went upstairs and returned to her room. She had just finished taking a shower and was about to go to sleep when her cell phone vibrated with a text message from Harry. It read, ‘Leanna, could you come out for a minute? I’d like to have a word with you for one last time.’ She took a deep breath before going downstairs with her cell phone.

Harry was standing by the river with his head down when she came out. Upon hearing her footsteps, he looked up, saying, “Leanna, I’m really sorry for making you come out at such a late hour.” “It’s okay. What’s the matter?”

Harry said bitterly, “I’ve caused you a lot of trouble lately, so I’d like to apologize to you… I’ve been looking for a house to live in, so I’ll be moving away very soon.” In reality, there were a few reasons why he wanted to move away. The first reason was that the neighborhood was going to be demolished. Above all else, however, he didn’t have the cheek to stay after Leanna rejected him in front of so many people. He’d be leaving sooner or later, anyway; if he were to leave now, he could at least save some pride. Leanna pursed her lips, saying, “I’m sorry. I—” “You don’t have to apologize to me. It’s all my fault for thinking that you also have feelings for me.” Harry smiled. “If there’s such a chance, I really want to meet your ex-husband and see what kind of a great man he is that can make you unable to get over him.”

“Huh? Uh…” Leanna replied. “You got the wrong idea. My ex-husband isn’t that great either. He’s arrogant and self-important. Not only is he bad-tempered, but he says really awful things and likes to think about people in a bad way.” Harry was dumbstruck by her description. “Then you—”

Leanna replied softly, “Everyone has their own flaws, and I’m not perfect either. And besides… I just want to live alone, which has nothing to do with him.” Harry fell silent for a moment. “I got it.” “If there’s nothing else… I’ll head back in.” “Leanna,” Harry called out to her. “In that case, what about you and President Pearson…” The question had been lingering in his mind since the night before, but he hadn’t had the chance to ask it aloud. Furthermore, no matter how he thought of it, he felt that they weren’t simple acquaintances. However, he couldn’t figure out what the nature of their relationship was. Before Leanna could answer him, a cold male voice rang from behind. “Didn’t she tell you that I’m the arrogant, self-important, and bad-tempered ex-husband she just talked about who says awful things and likes to think of people in a bad way?” Leanna was rendered speechless. Did he put me under surveillance or something? Why the hell is he able to catch me bad-mouthing him every single time?

Harry looked like he had been struck by lightning. “P-President Pearson?”

Aidan stood next to Leanna with an inscrutable face. “Mr. Mills, I wonder how I should express my gratitude to you for wanting to help me raise my son.” Harry was rendered speechless. In the end, he moved away overnight without even having the time to look for a new place to live in. … Aidan looked sideways at Leanna, who averted her gaze guiltily, saying, “The moon is full, President Pearson. Don’t you see that?” “The moon isn’t visible today.” Leanna rubbed her nose. It went without saying that she felt deeply embarrassed. Aidan didn’t bother to talk to her anymore, though. He turned around and stepped into the house.

Leanna caught up to him. “President Pearson?” “Hangover cure.” “Okay.” Knowing that she was in the wrong, Leanna didn’t refuse him, so she silently entered the kitchen. It seemed that while Aidan was here, Naomi had yet to return. Wendy, their next-door neighbor, wasn’t in the house either. They were probably made to stay at someone’s home to say goodbye to the neighbors. The kitchen had all kinds of food ingredients, so it didn’t take long before Leanna made the hangover cure. When she came out with a tray in both hands, Aidan was sitting at the stone table. No one knew what he was thinking as he was holding the half-finished little socks in Naomi’s basket. Leanna said, “Here’s the hangover cure, President Pearson.” Aidan put down the stuff in his hand and took the bowl she handed to him. Seeing that he had finished drinking from it, she whispered, “President Pearson, if there’s nothing else, I’m gonna go to sleep.” Aidan gave her a look before replying in a low voice, “Mm-hm.” Leanna let out a quiet sigh of relief before quickly sneaking upstairs. At last, the bad day is coming to an end, she thought. Luckily, now that the acquisition process was almost done, Aidan probably couldn’t stay any longer, so he’d leave very soon. She didn’t know when Naomi and Wendy were going to finish chatting, plus she had used up a great deal of energy today, so she fell asleep soon after lying in bed.
