Chapter 106 What Are You Waiting For?

After Jonathan finished reporting his work at the Pearson Group, he said, “President Pearson, if there’s

nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

“Wait.” Aidan stopped him and paused for a few seconds before raising his head and asking in a light

tone, “Has Leanna moved in?”

“No…”

Aidan put his pen down, a little displeased when he heard the unsatisfactory answer. “What is she still

doing?”

“Madam went to Highside Prison this morning to claim her father’s ashes and then went to the

cemetery in the afternoon. Now, she should be on her way back,” Jonathan said.

Hearing this, Aidan sneered softly and did not say much. “You can leave.”

That heartless woman actually wasted her feelings in such a worthless place.

At this time, his phone rang. It was Oscar.

As soon as the call connected, Oscar said, “I heard that you’ve returned to Highside?”

“Yes.”

“I didn’t expect this project to be so tricky. It even took you so long.”

Aidan did not respond to that and asked, “Do you have nothing better to do?”

This made Oscar laugh. “That’s not the case, and I just care about you. Can I know what you were

thinking? In the midst of the chaos with the Pearsons, you actually pulled away and started on a

dispensable project for the Pearson Group at Underwood Lane. Your old man must be delighted during

that time.”

“Don’t let him think that he has the opportunity to take advantage of this. What’s the point if he

suddenly stopped?” Aidan spoke in a neutral tone. “Also, Underwood Lane is an important project for

Pearson Group at the end of the year. Who said it was unnecessary?”

“All right, all right. You have the final say in this. What about we get together for a drink tonight?”

Aidan looked at the piles of documents in front of him and pursed his thin lips. “I’m busy.”

Oscar didn’t know what to say.

This b*stard was really stubborn.

After Aidan hung up the call, he looked deeply at his phone for a while before dialing Leanna’s number.

On the other side, she had just gotten home. Right before she sat on the sofa, she heard her phone

ring. She took her time answering the phone. “President Pearson, is there anything I can help you

with?” “Leanna, you should know that the Pearson Family is watching me very closely now,” Aidan said

indifferently. “Maybe…just a little.” She also read the financial newspaper that Naomi read. Maybe it

was because Aidan was getting increasingly difficult to control; it was obvious that Gordon was trying to

suppress him, and he had no intention of hiding it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have told Zayn and Anna

to get married. “Then, what are you waiting for?” Leanna was speechless at this man. “I’ve told you.

Once you’re discovered, there’s no use, even if you begged me,” Aidan added. “Thank you for

reminding me, President Pearson. I’ll pack my things now.” “Pack and stay where you are. I’ll get

Jonathan to pick you up.” “Okay.”

After she hung up the phone, she took out yesterday’s luggage and put her toiletries in, one after the

other. Almost half an hour later, Leanna received a call from Jonathan. Right before she left, she

noticed the paper bag at the door with the photos and the pocket watch found at Jethro’s place. After

long consideration, she decided to take the bag with him.

…

Once they had arrived at the Castor Villa, Jonathan said, “Ms. McKinney, President Pearson is

occupied with work today, and so he should be home very late.”

“Okay,” Leanna answered, rather confused.

Why was he telling her? She wasn’t going to wait for him.

Jonathan let out a light cough and helped her with her luggage before saying, “Then, I’ll leave first, Ms.

McKinney.”

She nodded lightly. “Yes, thank you.”

“It’s no problem. It’s my duty.”

As soon as he left, a servant came out when he heard the noise. When he noticed the luggage next to

Leanna, he was bursting with joy. He took her suitcase and walked inside. “Madam, you’re finally back!

Have you completely reconciled with Mr. Pearson this time? I told you, it is inevitable for young couples

to fight. That is what makes a relationship strong.”

his.

Her smile was a little awkward, and she wanted to explain that she was just here for a place to stay.

Nonetheless, she felt that if she were to explain herself, it would only get worse. Therefore, she was too

lazy to even say anything. Whatever, it doesn’t matter. On the second floor, the servant was just about

to bring her luggage into the master bedroom when Leanna quickly pushed the bedroom door next to it.

This stunned the servant. “Madam, aren’t you with—” Leanna quickly cut her off with a smile and said,

“I can unpack them myself. You can go.” When the servant heard this, he stopped inquiring further and

resumed his duties prior to her arrival.

She closed the door and let out a breath.

Leanna had never dreamed that she would come back and live here again. She recalled how resolute

she was when she left, yet ironically, she ended up back here again.

She had always felt that the way she wanted to raise this baby was away from Aidan. That was

because living around someone like him always made her feel like she was on the brink of exploding.

Considering the current situation, she had no choice.

That b*stard Aidan was scrutinizing her every move. She could only move in according to what he

wanted. As for the rest, she would take it one step at a time.

There were still five months to go before the baby was born. Throughout that time, she would think of a

way to leave unnoticed.

There were always exceptions to everything.

She just needed to wait for the chance to show up.

Leanna didn’t have much before she left, and now that she’s back, she has even fewer things. So after

briefly tidying things up, she decided to take a nap.

In her sleep, she vaguely seemed to hear a huge explosion followed by a monstrous fire, and a voice

was calling for her father piercingly.

Gradually, she realized that the voice was hers. She wanted to rush into the flames, but someone held

her back tightly.

In the next second, the sky was swallowed by the flames and the scorching heat prickled at everyone’s

skins.

Suddenly, Leanna snapped out of her sleep and shot up.

When she looked at the gray sky outside, she realized it was all just a nightmare.

At that time, she heard the servant’s voice from outside. “Madam, dinner is ready.”

Leanna lipped her dry lips and answered, “I’ll be right out.”

Afterward, she went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water; her uneven breathing finally

calmed down.

Leanna stood in front of the mirror for a while before turning around and leaving the room.

She wouldn’t have had that nightmare for no reason. So, it must have something to do with the photos

she saw today.

Therefore, she took out the photos again, but no matter how she looked at them, she couldn’t find the

missing piece in her memory, nor could she recall the scratched-out face of the man in the photo.

When she looked at the pocket watch next to her again, nothing of any sort also came to her mind.

According to these photos and Jethro’s diary, her mother must have brought her along when she

married him. But what happened before that? Why didn’t she remember what happened when she was

a child? Could it be related to the explosion she dreamt of?
