I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Hearing that made her throat go so dry that it hurt. She had no reply to that, and she could not speak

anyway.

Aidan surely detested her right now.

She closed her eyes and laid her hands on her abdomen. Immense despair overwhelmed her.

There was a chance she could not save this child.

…

Pearson Group.

Jonathon hurriedly knocked on the door before barging into the president’s office. “Bad news, President

Pearson,” he gasped.

“What has Leanna done now?” Aidan glared at him in impatience.

“Mrs. Pearson has been taken away by the Pearsons!”

Aidan’s face clouded over. “When did it happen?” His voice was as cold as ice.

“About ten minutes ago. Our people were nearby, but Mr. Johnson was there. Since she is pregnant,

we were afraid she might be hurt if a fight broke out, so…”

Aidan shot to his feet and strode out of the room as he coldly said, “He took Leanna because he

wanted to control me through the child she bears. Stay here and keep an eye on the office, Jonathon.

Once his men make a move, kick them out immediately.”

“Yes, sir,” Jonathon hurriedly replied.

“Call Georgina. Tell her I will do anything she asks as long as she heads over to the Pearson Family

Estate now.”

Jonathon paused. “Yes, sir.”

…

At Pearson Family Estate.

Gordon was staring at Anna from where he sat on the couch. He looked very upset. “Why did you not

tell me about something so major?”

“I only just found out, Uncle Gordon,” Anna said with a sad look on her face. “Anyway, that woman is no

virtuous woman. No one knows if her child was actually sired by Aidan.”

“What is the point of asking about all this now?” Sienna calmly interjected. “It is not Anna’s

responsibility, so why are you angry with her?”

He let out a sigh and went silent, leaning against his cane.

If not for Carly’s visit, there was no way he would have known about the baby. After all, he only knew

when he overheard Anna and Carly talking about Leanna’s pregnancy.

Anna quietly withdrew to stand behind Sienna. She had called Carly over for exactly this purpose. After

a few questions about Carly’s baby and some manipulation, Carly brought up Leanna’s pregnancy

without any prompting from her. Gordon had overheard their conversation because Sienna helped out.

Now, no matter who Aidan asked, Anna was not at all involved in letting Gordon know about the

pregnancy.

Furthermore, Leanna had fallen and nearly drowned because of Carly. If Aidan was itching for a target,

he would only be aiming at Carly.

A few minutes later, Leanna was brought back to the family’s residence.

She stood there, fidgeting and nervous, exactly like how she looked back then when she was first

brought back to the house. No one would have thought she would be back once more for the same

reason after three years.

Gordon shot her a look before coldly asking, “I will only ask you this once; is the child Aidan’s?”

Leanna clenched her jaw and remained silent. If she responded ‘yes’, there would be no hope left for

her. What if Aidan helped her out? What if…

Seeing that, Gordon sneered. “Okay, I don’t care if you keep quiet. You will be giving birth in a few

months anyway. We can have a paternity test done then. Before that happens, you are not allowed to

leave this house at all. We can afford a freeloader.”

She took a deep breath. “You cannot do that,” she said in a trembling voice.

This time, everyone in the room, including Sienna and Anna, turned to look at her.

“Aidan and I are divorced,” she continued. “You have no right to hold me prisoner.”

“Don’t you think it’s ridiculous for you to say that while you are standing in this house? If you want your

child to be born safely, you will obey me. Otherwise, I will spare no mercy for you!”

Just then, Sienna spoke up. “Aidan should be on the way back. Why don’t we wait for his answer? If he

is certain the child is not his, then there is no use in keeping her.”

“That’s right! Who knows whose oats are sown in her?” Anna said, fanning the flames. “We don’t even

know if that is Aidan’s. If she stays, she will only be a stain in the house.”

Gordon kept quiet, as if he agreed with their argument.

For a moment, the room was silent.

As Leanna stood there, it felt like she was waiting for her execution.

Soon, Justin arrived downstairs. As they had spoken loudly, he had heard everything. “Leanna, take a

seat first,” he said as he wheeled himself over.

“Ignore her, Justin,” said Anna. “Let her stand. It serves her right!”

Justin shook his head at her. “Stop fooling around, Anna. No matter what, Leanna is your cousin-in-law.

You should respect her.”

“They are divorced,” Anna corrected. “She is just some shameless woman…”

“Anna,” Sienna snapped as anger lurked in her voice.

It was only then that Anna went quiet.

“Leanna, please sit,” Justin repeated. “Aidan will be back soon.”

She was heavy with pregnancy; her time standing had been torture. Hence, she sat down after

thanking him.

“Serve us some hot water,” Justin then said to a servant.

The servant left after a grunt of acknowledgment.

Ten minutes later, Aidan appeared in the doorway.
