Chapter 140 Multitasking

Just as Sienna was about to continue, Gordon interrupted unhappily, “Alright now, is this farce over?

Can’t we even eat in peace?”

Those at the table finally quietened down.

After dinner, Sienna and Gordon left while Leanna stood up as she wanted to return to her room when

Georgina blocked her path.

Standing in front of her, Georgina smiled subtly. “Miss McKinney, how are you considering my proposal

from this afternoon?”

Leanna replied, “Thank you for your gesture, Miss Crossley, but I think I won’t be going.”

“Are you worried that Mr Pearson won’t let you go? Or are you worried about Anna? I—”

“Miss Crossley,” Leanna cut her off. “A wedding is a very important event with a lot of things that need

preparation. If I go, I might just be wasting your time.”

Georgina paused before showing an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say those words

during the meal. It’s just because—”

“You don’t need to apologize to me, Miss Crossley. I don’t think you did anything wrong to me.” While

saying this, Leanna suddenly felt tired and at a loss for words, so she softly stated, “I only want to rest

now. Again, it should be me who should be apologizing to you for ruining your mood, Miss Crossley.”

Then, she nodded apologetically toward Georgina and went upstairs.

Leanna stood at the window for a while after returning to her room, only to sit down with a sigh of relief

after seeing the black sedan slowly drive away.

Then, someone knocked on her door after some time.

She composed herself before walking toward the door.

Opening the door, she saw Aidan standing in front of it with his hands in his pockets and a cold gaze.

Leanna was a bit shocked at this.

Yet, she still shut the door without a shred of hesitation.

The moment she did that, Aidan reached out and blocked the door, looking at her with a dissatisfied

gaze.

She could only ask him politely, “Is there anything, President Pearson?”

Retracting his hand back into his pocket, he replied, “I saw that you weren’t eating much, so I had the

chefs whip up some more food. They’ll send it up later.”

“Oh, thank you, President Pearson,” said Leanna and closed the door again.

Aidan looked coldly at her without speaking. Then, he asked, “Is this how you’re going to act?”

Pursing her lips, she replied, “Thank you for your goodwill, President Pearson. I will be sure to savor

the meal.”

Since she was not full from lunch, she accepted his gesture.

Aidan, who kept his gaze on her, questioned after a few seconds, “Why are you in such a terrible

mood?”

Leanna felt confused by his question. How am I angry in his eyes?

Taking a deep breath, she replied, “I think you’re mistaken, President Pearson. Since you’re going to be

married soon, you shouldn’t just appear in front of your ex-wife’s room and talk to her like this. If your

fiancée gets wind of this, I think she’ll be very upset.”

He was still emotionless when he asked, “Is it that you’ll be upset? Or she’ll be upset?”

Leanna only thought that she could not communicate any further with this man. Why is this b*stard

being so persistent? The wedding’s date has already been decided and the fiancée has even visited

him, yet he still intends to cheat on her.

Yet, it was just that this time around, it was her becoming the mistress.

The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. Then, she exclaimed furiously,

“President Pearson, what precisely do you want to say? If there’s nothing, I’m going back to rest.”

Aidan only looked at her in silence.

As Leanna was about to close the door, he finally asked, “What are you planning to do if I really marry

Georgina?”

After a pause, she replied, “Anything goes except for me giving you something as congratulations.”

She then emphasized, “I’m poor.”

Hearing such an unexpected answer made Aidan laugh dryly before he turned around and left for his

room, slamming his door hard.

Leanna, who was still standing on the same spot, could feel the shockwave traveling to her. I haven’t

even closed my door yet, but the b*stard had already closed his.

Lying on the bed, she felt frustrated and confused. Asking me what to do? What can I say? Tell him not

to go through with the wedding? Will he even listen? That b*stard only knows how to say ambiguous

sentences, but when I think that he might have feelings for me, he’ll just say that I’m overthinking it and

being delusional. Saying stuff like I didn’t eat much. He sure is observant. On one hand, he was

discussing with his fiancée about the wedding, and on the other hand, he was observing whether his

ex-wife was eating or not. How can there be such a detestable man like Aidan?

…

On the other side, Justin, who probably heard the commotion, went to find his brother.

When Aidan opened the door, the smell of cigarettes still lingered in his room.

Wheeling himself inside, Justin smiled helplessly. “Did you argue with Leanna again?”

Aidan sat on the couch before putting out his cigarette in the ashtray filled with water while saying,

“How can I win against her when she has such a sharp tongue?”

“Leanna has been staying here for one week now. Even though she isn’t saying anything, I can still feel

her loneliness. Since you came, she looks more upbeat now,” stated Justin. “But you’re not without

fault. Leanna is pregnant now, so why do you keep making her angry?”

Pursing his lips, Aidan replied, “I didn’t make her angry.”

From the start of the meal, he saw that Leanna had kept her head lowered with an upset expression,

which made him want to explain the matters of the wedding to her. Who knew that heartless woman

would react like she had eaten a dynamite? What a horrible attitude.

Justin continued, “No matter what, this is the toughest time. Especially for Leanna. Not only is she

pregnant with your child, you and Georgina even discussed the wedding openly in front of her. Anyone

would feel bad after that.”

Aidan replied after a moment of silence, “This is something that she can’t avoid.”

“Aidan.” Justin continued, “In fact, there are many other ways to say the same thing; you don’t have to

be so cruel.”

Aidan stated, “The truth is cruel. If everything is as ideal as she thinks, then she’ll never know how

much suffering others are going through compared to her situation.”

Sighing helplessly at this, Justin said, “Aidan, you think things are going too far. In reality, Dad only

wants Leanna’s child because he wants the bloodline within the family.”

Aidan, who did not deny his claims, smiled subtly. “What he wants is another puppet who submits to

him and is controlled by him, but it’s just that this puppet must have the blood of the Pearsons.”

Prominent families like the Pearsons placed paramount importance on bloodline. Otherwise, they

would not have picked him, the illegitimate child, up in the first place.
