Chapter 77

The next day, Jonathan rushed over to speak to Aidan the moment Aidan came downstairs. "Bad news,
President Pearson," Jonathan uttered.

Zayn had always been cold and hostile toward Anna, even after they got engaged. Furthermore, both
the Barnett and Pearson families treated their marriage as a mere business partnership—no one cared
about Zayn and Anna's relationship. Anna was probably the only person who took the engagement
seriously.

Previously, Anna might have kept her behavior in check because she was worried that Zayn would call
the marriage off if she tested his limits. However, now that they were engaged, Anna no longer had
much to be afraid of. Leanna's pregnancy was like a thorn in Anna's heart, and she blamed Leanna for
how cold and distant Zayn acted around her. Leanna didn't get pregnant after being married to Aidan
for three years. How could she get pregnant right after she got a divorce? I suspect that the child might
be Zayn's, Anna thought.

So, Anna started a whole fuss about this matter at breakfast that morning. She was smart enough not
to bring up Leanna's name at all. She simply mentioned that there was a woman who was pregnant
with Zayn's child before begging Gordon to deal with this for her. If Gordon happened to find out that
the woman in question was Leanna, his realization would have nothing to do with Anna.

Gordon lost his cool upon hearing this news. He didn't care if Anna and Zayn were in love with one
another, but he cared about the reputation of the Barnett Family! Furthermore, for such a thing to
happen right after Zayn and Anna got engaged… The Barnett and Pearson families' partnership would
be affected if such an incident were to be exposed to the public.

"Old Master Pearson wants to discuss this matter, and the Barnetts are already on the way to the



Pearson Family Estate," Jonathan explained. The look in Aidan's eyes didn't seem to carry any
emotion as he spoke. "How did Anna find out about this?"

"I'm not sure. I'll investigate this matter," Jonathan replied.

"Forget it." Aidan parted his long legs to walk out. "We'll find out if we go over to question her," he
uttered with a tone as cold as ice.

…

Gordan sat on the couch in the Pearson Family Estate, with both his hands resting on his walking stick
and a grim look on his face. Anna was seated opposite him, and she had been crying for a while by
then. Soon enough, Gordon lost his patience. "What's done is done. What's the use of you crying? You
were the one who insisted on getting married to Zayn even when you knew he didn't fancy you. It was
only a matter of time before he started seeing some other woman."

Anna responded in a meek voice, "But that woman's the one who keeps pestering him. Now, they even
have a kid. They've never considered my feelings at all!"

"Why does the kid matter? I don't think Zayn will have the guts to actually have the child and bring it
into the Barnett Family!" Gordon barked. Right then, Sienna took a gaze at the front entrance before
she interrupted to make a comment. "Yeah. Not every illegitimate child lives a good life, you know."
Moments later, the maid's voice filled the hall. "Hello, Young Master Pearson!"

Aidan responded with an unimpressed grunt. There was no sign of emotion on his face, yet the whole
hall was filled with pin-drop silence the moment he stepped in. The air around them seemed to turn a
few degrees colder. Even Anna stopped crying when she saw Aidan walking in. She tried her best to



contain her sobs. This was the scene that Justin was greeted with the moment he came down. "Let's
take a walk at the park, Aidan. There are some things I'd like to talk to you about, anyway," Justin
uttered with a sigh.

After they left, Gordon frowned and glared at Sienna. "Did you have to trigger him at a time like this?!"

Sienna scoffed. "Who did I trigger? I'm just telling the truth." Then, she turned to Anna before she
continued speaking. "Regardless of what happens, you shouldn't overlook the capabilities of an
illegitimate child, Anna. You never know—an illegitimate child might snatch your entire life away at
some point in time."

Anna didn't know anything about their family's history, so she simply nodded in agreement. However,
she felt more determined than ever to get rid of the child that was in Leanna's belly.

Soon enough, the Barnetts arrived, with Zayn leading the way. Gordon tried his best to control his
anger as he confronted Zayn. "Tell me. What's this about? Who's that woman?"

Zayn shot Anna a glare. "There's nothing going on."

"You don't have to be in such a hurry to deny this matter. We're not trying to put the blame on you.
You're here because we want to come up with a solution for this," Gordon replied.

"I trust my son. He would never do such a thing." Douglas spoke up for Zayn.

"Tell us what happened. Was there some sort of misunderstanding, Zayn?" Marilyn added.

Anna immediately shot to her feet and shouted at them upon hearing their words. "How could this be a



misunderstanding?! I saw it with my own eyes! They've already had tons of secret meetings, and Zayn
is always so protective toward that woman!" she cried.

"You can't judge things based on your own observations, Anna. You need to provide concrete
evidence," Marilyn uttered exasperatedly.

"Well, the evidence is the kid in that woman's belly! Forget it. I'm not going to further pursue this matter
as long as that woman aborts the child. I can just forget that this ever happened," Anna uttered.

"Are you done, Anna?" Zayn couldn't hold his temper back for much longer. Tears trickled down Anna's
face when she heard the way he spoke to her. "Look at that, guys. He's still protecting that woman right
now. Why would he show such huge reactions if he didn't have something going on with that woman?
Why would he care if that child wasn’t his?"

Marilyn hastily tugged on Zayn's sleeve while frowning. "Calm down, Zayn. You should speak in a more
civil manner. Since Anna is making such claims, then I'm sure there's something going on. You should
just explain yourself."

"She's a friend. Sure, I do like her, but she has already rejected my feelings for her. Are you happy with
this answer?" Zayn shot Anna a glare.

Anna hadn't expected Zayn to openly admit his feelings for Leanna, and she felt both ashamed and
furious when she heard the words coming out of his mouth. "I knew it! I knew you liked her. What's so
great about that woman? She has gotten you completely mesmerized. Even Aidan is—" She knew that
she messed her words up the moment she uttered Aidan's name, so she hastily slapped her hand over
her mouth.



Gordon frowned when he realized this. "What are you talking about, Anna? What's up with Aidan?"

"What's up with me?" Aidan's voice came from behind the crowd. His tone was flat, yet it sent chills
down Anna's spine. She no longer spoke with the firm tone she had earlier. "I-It's nothing…" she
muttered.

"Well, we now know that it's all a misunderstanding, Anna. So, I don't think it's necessary to continue
fussing over this matter," Justin said. "You should apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Barnett for rushing all the
way here over such a tiny matter."

"But…" Anna protested.

"It's just an engagement. You can always call the wedding off," Zayn uttered calmly. Anna no longer
said anything after that, but her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. In the end, Justin had to apologize
to the Barnetts in order to make sure that there were no hard feelings. Although Justin didn't have
much of a presence in the Pearson Family, he was one of the kindest and most polite ones in the
household. If it hadn't been for the disability in his legs, the Pearson Family would be in a completely
different situation. Aidan wouldn't be the one calling all the shots.
