Chapter 572

Chapter 572

On the other side, Leanna had finished tidying up and placed the baby, who had been playing in the

crib, onto the crawling mat.

The little one started crawling everywhere and pushed any toys that were blocking his path to the side.

Leanna sat nearby, watching him with a slight smile on her lips.

Louis returned after taking out the trash. "It's almost dinner time, so should we go out to eat?"

She looked away and replied, "Can you watch him for me? I'll make something."

"I'll go," he offered. "I'll pick up some groceries and fruit while I'm out as well."

"Hey." Leanna called after him, "When are you going back to school?"

"Today's Saturday," he answered.

She was speechless for a moment.

Shortly after Louis left, the doorbell rang. Leanna opened the door and saw Zoe leaning against the

door frame. She blinked in surprise before saying, "Hey, can I join you for dinner?"

Leanna smiled and welcomed her inside and mentioned, "Come in. Louis just went out to buy

groceries."

Zoe's eyes lit up at the news. "Well, I'm in luck then!"

Daniel arrived shortly after with a freshly brewed pot of soup. He placed the pot on the table and said,

"Leanna, I've taken care of everything you asked me to."



Leanna hesitated for a moment before replying, "Thank you."

"Not at all. After Pearson Family's press conference, public opinion did change. However, some people

still have doubts. However, ever since I posted the evidence you gave me, those voices have

disappeared completely," he explained.

Zoe was snacking on some treats and commented, "I never thought I'd see the day when Aidan, who

can be pretty ruthless, would show mercy on this matter."

Leanna replied calmly, "He didn't want to embarrass Justin."

If it was in the past, she might have taken Justin and Aidan's feelings into account, but ever since

Sienna and Polyn suffocated their child in front of everyone, she didn't have the patience for it. It didn't

matter what they did; as long as someone hurt her child, she would retaliate.

Daniel poured Zoe a glass of hot water and added, "It seems like Sienna had planned this in advance.

She probably knew she was going to die."

Zoe snorted. "Even in death, she won't leave us alone. Wait a minute... Do you think she'll pull a fake

death like that b*stard, Jethro?"

Leanna shook her head and said, "Many people saw her die."

Zoe patted her chest and said, "That's good. I have some after-effects from that time."

After a while, Leanna looked at Daniel and asked, "When did you find out?"

He chuckled dryly and said, "I only found out recently. I had suspected it before, but I didn't have any

evidence."

She asked, "Was it when you and Louis left the private room together?"




Daniel didn't deny it and nodded lightly.

It was Louis who had proposed it and made a deal with him.

Zoe spoke up again. "Nana, what about you and President Pearson..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Daniel coughed.

Leanna was busy preparing milk powder for the little one and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Zoe thought it couldn't be left hanging like this. Aidan had not appeared for several days, and they

didn't know what he was thinking. He might just end up falling deeper into the darkness, Zoe thought.

Soon, Louis bought some groceries and came back.

Leanna went into the kitchen and said, "Let me do it. You can wash the fruit."

He replied, "Okay."

Zoe, who was outside, shouted, "Nana, Daphne just told me that she's filming nearby. Should we invite

her to dinner tonight?"

Leanna glanced at Louis and smiled. "Sure, let's invite her."

Louis washed the fruit in silence.

She noticed and asked, "How are things on your side?"

"What's up?"

"Studying? Working? Love life?"

Louis was speechless.



He hesitated before saying, "Nothing much has happened lately. I've been mostly at school, and I'll

probably participate in a program during the summer."

Leanna asked, "Is it a talent show?"

She added, "I heard from Daphne that your company is going to do a talent show, and it's mainly going

to feature you."

He replied, "It's not that one."

"Why not?"

"I don't like it, so I turned it down."

Leanna thought for a moment and realized Louis was not the type to jump around on stage.

She asked again, "So, what program are you going to participate in?"

Louis paused for a few seconds before saying, "An escape room program."

She was confused. "What's the main focus of the program?"

"Just solving puzzles."

Leanna was speechless again.

How typical of him, she thought to herself.

Daphne finished work late, but dinner was ready when she arrived.

She assumed that it was Zoe's house and looked around. Seeing that everyone was present, she

asked, "Is President Pearson not here?"

Zoe cleared her throat and said, "Um..."

"Oh, by the way." Daphne looked at Leanna. "I saw the news today that President Pearson was injured

and cannot get out of bed. Is that true?"

Leanna replied, "It's fake."

Daphne breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it. That evil capitalist can't be seriously injured. It's usually

someone else who gets hurt in front of him."

Hearing this, Leanna was thinking about something and paused for a moment.

Beside her, Zoe had been tugging on Daphne's sleeve the whole time.

Daphne asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Haha, it's nothing... Do you want to eat an orange? Louis just bought some this afternoon, and they're

pretty fresh."

Daphne replied, "No, thanks. I ate a lot of oranges while filming this afternoon."

Then, she saw the little guy waving his toy in the air and immediately looked at Zoe's tummy. She

asked in shock, "Is it true?"

Realizing what she was thinking, Zoe patted her shoulder and whispered, "That's Nana and President

Pearson's child. Also, they're having some conflict, so please don't mention him again."

Daphne immediately shut her mouth. Oops, did I say something I shouldn't have earlier?

At this point, Louis placed a box of yogurt in front of her.

Zoe looked over and protested, "Why didn't I get one?"



He remained unfazed and said, "Yogurt helps with digestion, and I think your appetite is pretty good, so

you probably don't need it."

She was stunned upon hearing his words.

Daphne was also surprised. She had eaten a lot of oranges in the afternoon, but she hadn't reached

the point where she couldn't digest them.

Before she could speak, Louis had already moved on to something else.

She looked at the yogurt in front of her, which was her favorite flavor of yellow peach. She grabbed a

spoonful before suddenly meeting Zoe's curious gaze.

After locking eyes for a few seconds, Zoe suddenly leaned in and asked, "Have you started taking

action?"
