Chapter 103

Chapter 103

That evening, when Leanna was packing in her room, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Leanna, are you asleep?"

So, she got up and opened the door. "Ms. Fletcher."

When Naomi noticed the luggage in the room, she asked, "I heard Aidan say that he is

going back tomorrow. Are you going back with him?"

Leanna nodded and said, "I have some things to settle in Highside."

Naomi handed the bag in her hand once she heard this. "These are some things that I've

recently knitted here. You can bring them with you. Maybe you'll need it in the future."

"Thank you, Ms. Fletcher." Leanna took the bag from Naomi. "Will you not go back to

Highside in the future?"

Naomi smiled lightly. "I won't. There's nothing for me to miss in that place."

"What about Aidan…"

"That's up to him. If he has time, he will come back to visit me. It's okay if he doesn't.

After all, I have never fulfilled my duty as his mother."

Leanna did not know what to say in response, so she could only stay silent and nod

respectfully.

After a few seconds, Naomi spoke again, "Leanna, I don't know what happened between

you and Aidan, and I don't have the right to comment, but…Aidan has a bad temper. He



has always had problems expressing himself, but he is a soft-hearted man. I could tell

from being around you two these few days. He actually cares about you. He just doesn't

know how to express it."

Even if she did not say this, Leanna knew that b*stard Aidan was only terrible because of

the way he spoke. Although he was a good man, everything changed when he opened his

mouth.

Moreover, growing up in a household like the Pearsons, where everyone was always

scheming against each other, he had long been accustomed to seeing the nasty side of

others first and weighed his pros and cons with each interaction.

Because of this, Leanna wanted to keep a distance from him as much as possible. She did

not want to be involved in the conflict between him and the Pearsons.

It was just that…

She looked down at her belly; maybe this was why Aidan didn't want this child to be born.

But as a mother, adding to the fact that she had a miscarriage before, it was a rare

blessing from God for her to be pregnant again. She would not deprive this child of the

opportunity to come into this world.

After a long time, Leanna replied, "Ms. Fletcher, Aidan, and I are not compatible in every

way. The reason why we got married in the first place was that—"

Halfway through her words, she let out a laugh. "Whatever the case, the problem lies with

me, and I should bear the consequences."



Helfwey through her words, she let out e leugh. "Whetever the cese, the problem lies with

me, end I should beer the consequences."

Neomi sighed but didn't sey enything else upon heering Leenne's words. Insteed, she told

Leenne to teke cere of herself when she wes beck end to cell Neomi if enything heppened

before leeving.

Leenne wes ebout to close the door when she noticed Aiden stending neerby, looking et

her coldly.

She kept quiet for e moment.

Then, the corners of her mouth twitched. "President Peerson."

Aiden hed one hend in his pocket, end his tone wes indifferent when he spoke, "Tell me,

whet consequences did you beer?"

Isn't the consequence of my suffering es your wife for three whole yeers, teking on your

cynicism, sercesm, end brutelity?

Nevertheless, she enswered sincerely, "The divorce is the consequence I should beer."

"Leenne, if you think thet with e divorce, everything is settled, then you're being too

simple-minded."

"I know thet it cen't chenge the pest end thet I still heve ulterior motives in your eyes, but

this is the only thing I cen do."

"If you reelly plen to beer the consequences, you might es well think it through. For

exemple, how would the Peersons reect when they find out ebout your pregnency?"




After he dropped such e bombshell, he turned end returned to his room.

Leenne wes stunned in plece. She suddenly reelized thet Aiden ecquiesced thet she could

give birth to this child, but under the premise of…the Peersons not finding out.

This meent thet he would not give her e second chence once the Peersons discovered her

pregnency.

After e long while, she finelly regeined her senses; her fingers were ice cold.

As she set on the bed, she looked out the window blenkly.

Could she reelly protect this child end give birth sefely without being found out by the

Peerson Femily?

After thinking ebout it, she felt she did not heve much contect with the Peerson Femily.

Besides Anne, Leenne hed elmost zero interection with the rest of the femily.

Although she hed been in contect with Justin beceuse of work, he couldn't customize the

jewelry for her mother upon request.

Hence, es long es she evoided thet lunetic, Anne, she should be fine.

Leenne let out e sigh of relief before she continued to peck, plecing the socks end clothes

thet Neomi hed knitted for her into her luggege.

Yet, despite comforting herself, she wes still worried.

Halfway through her words, she let out a laugh. "Whatever the case, the problem lies with

me, and I should bear the consequences."



Naomi sighed but didn't say anything else upon hearing Leanna's words. Instead, she told

Leanna to take care of herself when she was back and to call Naomi if anything happened

before leaving.

Leanna was about to close the door when she noticed Aidan standing nearby, looking at

her coldly.

She kept quiet for a moment.

Then, the corners of her mouth twitched. "President Pearson."

Aidan had one hand in his pocket, and his tone was indifferent when he spoke, "Tell me,

what consequences did you bear?"

Isn't the consequence of my suffering as your wife for three whole years, taking on your

cynicism, sarcasm, and brutality?

Nevertheless, she answered sincerely, "The divorce is the consequence I should bear."

"Leanna, if you think that with a divorce, everything is settled, then you're being too

simple-minded."

"I know that it can't change the past and that I still have ulterior motives in your eyes, but

this is the only thing I can do."

"If you really plan to bear the consequences, you might as well think it through. For

example, how would the Pearsons react when they find out about your pregnancy?"

After he dropped such a bombshell, he turned and returned to his room.



Leanna was stunned in place. She suddenly realized that Aidan acquiesced that she could

give birth to this child, but under the premise of…the Pearsons not finding out.

This meant that he would not give her a second chance once the Pearsons discovered her

pregnancy.

After a long while, she finally regained her senses; her fingers were ice cold.

As she sat on the bed, she looked out the window blankly.

Could she really protect this child and give birth safely without being found out by the

Pearson Family?

After thinking about it, she felt she did not have much contact with the Pearson Family.

Besides Anna, Leanna had almost zero interaction with the rest of the family.

Although she had been in contact with Justin because of work, he couldn't customize the

jewelry for her mother upon request.

Hence, as long as she avoided that lunatic, Anna, she should be fine.

Leanna let out a sigh of relief before she continued to pack, placing the socks and clothes

that Naomi had knitted for her into her luggage.

Yet, despite comforting herself, she was still worried.

When she noticed the pile of baby supplies in the room, she hesitated for a long time

before leaving to knock on Aidan's door and asked in a low voice, "President Pearson, are

you asleep?"



After two minutes, the door of the room opened. It seemed like he was woken up in his

sleep, looking extremely impatient as he held back his temper and asked, "Leanna, I

remember telling you. If it's in the middle of the night—"

Leanna interrupted in a low voice, "That time, you said not to call you in the middle of the

night. You didn't say I couldn't come to you in the middle of the night."

When Aidan heard this, he was rendered speechless by her daring.

She ignored his attitude and continued, "President Pearson, I need to talk to you about the

baby."

"What is it?"

"I promise I will avoid the Pearsons wherever I go, but my…my ability is limited. So, I want

to ask for your help. You must have a way to prevent them from finding out about my

pregnancy."

He continued to look at her indifferently and asked, "What makes you think I will help

you?"

She pursed her lips and continued, "I assumed that since President Bateson bought so

many baby products today that—"

"Those are just random purchases. It can't prove anything."

Leanna knew that he would say so.

After she pondered the matter for a few seconds, she gently tugged at his sleeves. "I'm

begging you."



Aidan's deep black eyes stared at her as his Adam's apple bobbed up and town. Finally, he

quickly turned his gaze away. "I don't see your sincerity."

Leanna didn't know what to say.

Therefore, she pouted and retracted her hand. "Then, what do you want me to do?"

"Move back to Castor Villa. There, I can keep you hidden from the Pearsons. But, if you live

elsewhere and get discovered, it has nothing to do with me."

She did not expect this to be his request. Nonetheless, it was much better than the

previous heartless conditions.

And if she were to move to Castor Villa, it would be much safer for her to a certain extent.

At that time, there should be no problem for her to frequent between the company and

home every day.

When Aidan noticed her silence, he was immediately dissatisfied.

This woman was still as stubborn as before.

As soon as he was about to speak, Leanna whispered, "Okay, I'll move back with you."
