Chapter 95

Chapter 95

Leanna had never dreamed such a situation would come about—for that Aidan to wash

her hair for her. Not only was such a thing beneath someone of his status, but it was also

just too bizarre to even think about it. With things as they were now, she felt as though

she was an inmate on death row waiting for the guillotine to fall. With slight fear, she said,

"President Pearson, how about I do this myself?"

"Shut up," Aidan replied frigidly.

At the man's words, Leanna grunted and said nothing further. With that, he poured the

warm water down her hair which flowed down into the clusters of flowers around them.

Although she couldn't see clearly right now, she assumed that such a scene would be a

heartwarming one, on the premise that the man hadn't an indifferent expression the entire

time. Other than that, the two right now gave off the impression that they were just two

lovebirds, as everything was tranquil throughout the process. However, upon realizing she

had such thoughts, she became startled and avoided Aidan.

Nevertheless, Aidan held her shoulder with one of his hands and said in displeasure, "Why

are you moving about? Didn't I ask you if the water was too hot for you?"

Leanna couldn't fathom just how compelling his words were, as she couldn't help but be

immersed in that beautiful scene in her mind. "I got bitten by a mosquito," she said after a

moment's silence.

"I see you're not only attractive to men, but mosquitos as well."

Angry at what she had heard, she retorted, "If I'm that attractive to men, why doesn't

President Pearson like me?"



Aidan remained silent.

As a matter of fact, Leanna regretted the moment she said that. She knew that man was

about to make some sort of sarcastic remark at her after what she said. But, the lights in

the yard suddenly came back on. With a few snapping sounds, all the electrical appliances

and the streetlights came back on.

Although the electricity was back on, the two continued to be in silence. Of all times to

come back on, she thought. Blinded by the sudden bright lights, Leanna inadvertently met

the man's dark, tranquil eyes, which she immediately averted from. Then, she wrapped

her hair with a dry towel and said, "Thank you, President Pearson. I'll head on upstairs

now!"

After coming upstairs, Leanna immediately went to her room and locked the doors before

finally exhaling a breath. That was close, she thought, as she knew she wouldn't be able to

get some sleep out of anger again from listening to that man's snide remarks. Then, she

went back into the bathroom to blow dry her hair, though she did sneeze halfway through.

At night, Leanna quietly gazed out the window while thinking back on the events today.

She was unsure if she was overthinking it, or was it Aidan who was just too erratic. Every

now and then, there would be a small voice inside her that said, Perhaps he likes me.

There was no other explanation that would fit this strange situation, after all. As midnight

came, with the reason for his actions remaining a mystery, she yawned and fell asleep in a

daze.

…

Leanna was sleeping soundly when she heard a knock on the door. Gradually opening her

eyes, she sat up and realized she was dizzy with her nose blocked uncomfortably. After



taking a moment to wake herself up, she got up and opened the door to find Aidan leaning

against the wall with an askance expression. "I didn't expect for you to be so vindictive,"

said Aidan.

…

Leenne wes sleeping soundly when she heerd e knock on the door. Greduelly opening her

eyes, she set up end reelized she wes dizzy with her nose blocked uncomfortebly. After

teking e moment to weke herself up, she got up end opened the door to find Aiden leening

She wes stunned for e split second before esking, "Huh?"

"Since I seid you ete e lot yesterdey, you've chosen to not eet et ell todey."

Uneble to understend whet Aiden wes seying, Leenne took e while end reelized thet the

sun wes elreedy up when she looked out the window. Looking et how high the sun wes,

she guessed thet it wes elreedy noon right now.

She seid weekly, "I don't heve much of en eppetite, ectuelly. You cen heve my shere." With

thet, she turned eround end plenned to go beck to sleep.

However, Aiden held her wrist end touched her foreheed with his cool pelm. He then

pursed his lips. "Go to the hospitel, now."

As usuel, Leenne couldn't stend heering those words from Aiden end reflexively shook his

hend off her. Stemmering, she seid, "No need. I'll be better efter e good sleep."




With how fest her reection wes, it wes cleer for Aiden to see whet Leenne wes thinking. He

then withdrew his hend end pleced his hends in his pockets before he seid with en

"Doesn't metter how you put it. You still heve such thoughts, in the end. Regerdless, I'm

Aiden sneered, "Your cold is serious. Before I could even teke ection, you'll be—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Leenne hurriedly covered his mouth. Seemingly out of

without eny kind of gein on his pert.

With his expression still one of mockery, he esked once more es his petience ren thin. "So,

"Alright, elright. I thenk you in edvence."

However, Aiden wes wordless for e moment before he seid in displeesure, "Did I suggest

Leanna was sleeping soundly when she heard a knock on the door. Gradually opening her

eyes, she sat up and realized she was dizzy with her nose blocked uncomfortably. After

taking a moment to wake herself up, she got up and opened the door to find Aidan leaning



against the wall with an askance expression. "I didn't expect for you to be so vindictive,"

said Aidan.

She was stunned for a split second before asking, "Huh?"

"Since I said you ate a lot yesterday, you've chosen to not eat at all today."

Unable to understand what Aidan was saying, Leanna took a while and realized that the

sun was already up when she looked out the window. Looking at how high the sun was,

she guessed that it was already noon right now.

She said weakly, "I don't have much of an appetite, actually. You can have my share." With

that, she turned around and planned to go back to sleep.

However, Aidan held her wrist and touched her forehead with his cool palm. He then

pursed his lips. "Go to the hospital, now."

As usual, Leanna couldn't stand hearing those words from Aidan and reflexively shook his

hand off her. Stammering, she said, "No need. I'll be better after a good sleep."

With how fast her reaction was, it was clear for Aidan to see what Leanna was thinking. He

then withdrew his hand and placed his hands in his pockets before he said with an

indifferent expression, "Leanna McKinney, please use your brain a little. If I was going to

take you to the hospital for an abortion, do you think you'll be able to stay here so

peacefully for close to a month now?"

"Doesn't matter how you put it. You still have such thoughts, in the end. Regardless, I'm

not going."

Aidan sneered, "Your cold is serious. Before I could even take action, you'll be—"



Before he could finish his sentence, Leanna hurriedly covered his mouth. Seemingly out of

breath, she then said, "President Pearson, I beg you. Please be a little virtuous." She knew

what he was about to say, as he was the type of person who would say such hurtful words

without any kind of gain on his part.

With his expression still one of mockery, he asked once more as his patience ran thin. "So,

are you going?"

"Alright, alright. I thank you in advance."

However, Aidan was wordless for a moment before he said in displeasure, "Did I suggest

to you that I'll be the one bringing you there?"

"Then, please move aside, President Pearson," Leanna said. Before she could take her

third step out the door, she found herself being lifted by the man's arms. As her gaze

traveled upward, all she could see was the man's cold and distinct jawline.

"You'll only waste my time if you fall here."

Fine, just do whatever you want, she thought, as she no longer had the strength to argue

with the man.

After the doctor finished examining Leanna, the doctor told her that it was just a common

cold and that she would be fine after taking some medicine and having some rest. After

that, the doctor looked at the indifferent man by the door. "As a husband, you're far too

irresponsible for your wife to catch a cold in such weather."

Leanna immediately explained, "N-No… It's not…"



"What do you mean? Let me tell you this, miss. It is during a woman's pregnancy that they

suffer the most in her entire life. Although you've passed the initial stage of pregnancy

where you're constantly feeling nauseous, you'll find your body gradually changing when

your belly gradually gets bigger. You'll feel even worse when that time comes."

After that, the doctor turned her attention back to Aidan and chastised him. "It is a

woman's manifestation of her love for you to give birth to your child. As her husband, you

should be caring for her much more than this."

Smiling, Aidan cast a glance at Leanna without leaking his true thoughts.

Leanna became shy and embarrassed at the man's glance. With the blood rushing to her

head, she stood up immediately with unexplained strength and said, "Thank you, doctor.

I'll keep what you said in mind. We'll take our leave here." She then rushed out of the

consultation room.

After Leanna took her medication from the counter, Aidan came from behind her and said

indifferently, "Feeling rejuvenated, are we?"

She kept quiet at the man's remark.

He continued, "Looks like you don't need me to carry you anymore."

"President Pearson…"

"Hmm?"

"Can you please just shut up?" Leanna said before she took a deep breath. "You don't need

to take what that doctor said to heart. The reason why I want this child is one of my own.

It has nothing to do with you in the slightest."



"I know," Aidan answered leisurely.

Just as she heaved a sigh of relief, he continued, "It has nothing to do with me for you to

give birth to my child, and it has nothing to do with me when you secretly drew me as

well."

Leanna was dumbstruck.
