Chapter 14 You Refused A cold and indifferent voice that was devoid of emotion engulfed from behind.
Leanna sighed and closed her eyes. This is going to be a bloodbath. At the sight of Aidan, Anna’s act
of restraint only lasted a second before she added fuel to the fire, thinking that her cousin would back
her up. “Aidan, look at Leanna! She is so shameless.” With that, he gave Leanna a cold look. On the
other hand, Zayn stood in front of Leanna the moment Aidan cast a glance on her.
Seeing this, Aidan questioned with a chuckle, “What are you doing, Mr. Barnett?” Stunned and
speechless, poor Zayn had not even recovered from the fact that Leanna and Aidan were married.
Leanna then reached out her hand and gently pushed Zayn to the side before letting out a dry chuckle.
“Nothing, he’s just a friend. We’re just greeting each other. If there are no other issues, I’ll be the first to
leave.” She had only taken a few steps when her wrist was grabbed. She reacted quickly by retching
out loud. The hand was withdrawn within a second. Just like that, Leanna fled the scene like a flash.
Zoe was resting her eyes and listening to music in the car when she noticed the car door suddenly
opened. “You’re done so soon? I expected you two to talk a little longer.” “Don’t mention it. Anna knew
Zayn, then Aidan came. Fortunately, I ran quickly or else I might be dead on the spot.” Leanna sighed.
“Anna? The girl…” Zoe frowned and asked. Before she finished her words, Leanna understood what
she was trying to say and nodded lightly. “Didn’t she flee the country immediately after the accident?
She does have the guts to return, doesn’t she? Is she really not afraid of karma?” At that moment,
Leanna suddenly vomited again, so she quickly took out a peppermint candy from her bag and stuffed
it into her mouth. “Zoe, let’s go to the hospital,” she said. “Have you… thought about it?” … “Everything
is normal. The reason for your severe morning sickness this time is also due to your body. The reaction
will be relatively relieved if you eat lightly and go for more walks,” the doctor explained after Leanna’s

checkup. “There is no problem with the rest. Please return after twelve weeks for a pregnancy
checkup,” the doctor concluded and she nodded lightly. “I see, thank you.” When Zoe saw Leanna
exiting the doctor’s office, she ran over and asked, “Nana, how did it go?” “Everything is fine, according
to the doctor.” After hearing that, Zoe breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly remembered that this was
not what she wanted to ask. However, after seeing Leanna’s face, she did not ask any further. “Then,
let’s go back.” On their way back, Zoe received a call from the magazine stating that the total sales
volume had surpassed one million.
Lany mentioned that Leanna was the star of tonight’s celebration banquet and inquired as to where she
had gone. “She’s not feeling well, so I took her home. Please notify Mr. Mancini that we will not be
attending the afterparty,” Zoe told the editor-in-chief. She then turned to face Leanna after hanging up
the phone. “Nana, are you okay?” The pregnant woman leaned her head against the car window in
deep thoughts. It took her a while to come back to her senses after hearing Zoe’s words. “I want to
keep this child,” she uttered. Earlier on, she was lying in the hospital bed when she noticed a small dot
with the size of a soybean on the monitor; it was then when a strange feeling arose in her heart. It was
as if her child from three years ago had returned to her side. I can’t possibly kill my baby again. “Okay,
I’ll raise the child with you and when you get remarried in the future; let that b*stard’s child calls another
man ‘daddy’ to piss him off!” Zoe said in a relaxed manner. “Yeah, thinking about that face of his makes
me feel good,” Leanna said as a smile plastered on her pale face. Upon the decision of keeping the
child, her first thought was to keep it a secret from Aidan.
At least not right now. Despite the fact that their marriage was disgraceful, she hoped the divorce would
at least be pleasant. Leanna’s phone rang as soon as the car stopped downstairs. “Hello, who is it?”
she asked as she picked up the phone while looking at the string of unfamiliar numbers. “Hey, Leanna.
It’s me.” She remained silent while holding the phone despite hearing the familiar voice. “I was in a
hurry just now and I didn’t have time to say anything,” Zayn added. “Zayn,” she called out his name.
“What Anna said is true. I’m married and I wormed my way into the Pearson Family.” “Leanna, I know
that’s not who you are. I don’t believe Anna and it doesn’t matter to me why you married Aidan. I’m just
curious about what happened three years ago and why you decided to turn down the chance for Aeras.
I thought we promised.” “What’s past is past. It’s time we move on,” she responded. “Then… have you
moved on from us too?” “I’m married.” “I know there’s no love between you and Aidan. I can wait for
you.” At this moment, Leanna suddenly felt the phone becoming hot. Her eyelashes fluttered nervously
and she finally said, “Don’t. I’m not worth your wait.” She hung up the phone without hesitation after her
last word. Zayn used to be a beam of bright light in her barren life. He was self-maintained, excellent,
bright, and he often sparked her hope when she was about to give up. Perhaps she was dazzled by his
beautiful character, but she really dreamed of them being together. The Barnetts and Pearsons were
both well-known, therefore, how could they ever accept someone like her into their families? Three
years ago, both her dream and the fantasy she was deeply immersed in was dampened and destroyed.
When she awoke from her dream, everything between her and Zayn had ended. … Lux Jewelry
established its own brand and had been very successful in entering the jewelry market lately, despite it
being their first. Not only that, the launch had also won acclaim from all around the world.
Other than celebrating Lux Jewelry’s brave first step into the world, the discussion also centered
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaround McK, their up and rising contract designer. Everyone took notice of this young and vibrant
designer when she won first place in the Emerging Designer Competition three years ago. This time
round, the launch of Lux Jewelry’s First Love series had allowed her to stand out in the design world
once again; her comeback was indeed breathtaking. However, what everyone wanted to know was the
reason for her disappearance three years ago. While the rest of the world was debating, Oscar sat on
the couch in Patheon Club with his phone while eagerly watching the news. “Take a look at these so-
called exclusive juice; they can literally make up any story and let it stick till it becomes a fact.
Some claim that she was taken care of by wealthy businessmen after she became famous and that she
was an underground lover for three years. Soon after, the wealthy businessman’s wife tracked her
down, beat her, and drove her away. Her comeback was due to her loss of income after leaving the
wealthy businessman.” Aidan, who was sitting next to him, sipped his wine without uttering a word
while his chiseled jawline was showcased under the dim light. At this moment, a person inquired, “Mr.
Woodley and President Pearson, would you like to play?” In the midst of his hectic scrolling, Oscar
raised his head and smiled at the person. “You guys go ahead. President Pearson has just returned
from a business trip, so he’s tired. I’m just going to sit with him for a while.” Oscar was now engrossed
in the pleasure of reading the spilled tea, so he had no time to play cards.
These illogical revelations are getting more and more interesting. After a long while, Aidan asked
abruptly, “Did you mention that she made a request to the person-in-charge of the competition to
convert the study aid into cash?” “Yup, but you refused.” Just like that, Aidan remained silent and
pondered for the rest of the night with a wine glass in his hand.
