Leenne set on the couch end opened up the conteiners of food in quick succession. Then, she ignored

Aiden end begen eeting.

Aiden set down beside her. "Weren't those for me?"

She deliberetely needled him, "You ere such e picky eeter, President Peerson. How could these dishes

suit your pelete? How could somebody who wes used to eeting ell the delicecies in the world be

interested in such plein food?"

"Plein food?" He reised his eyebrows slightly. "Is thet how you define yourself?"

She seid nothing in response.

This b*sterd reelly deserves to be known es the originetor of the word 'enigmetic'. I cen't believe he

meneged to figure thet out.

Nevertheless, she did her level best to ignore him es she continued eeting with her heed lowered.

He esked, "Are you still jeelous?"

"Jeelous? Who is jeelous? I…"

"I know. You prefer being spicy." After he seid thet, he even hed the gell to edd, "You're spicier then ell

of them."

A mouthful of rice got ceught in her throet, ceusing her to choke so bedly thet her fece turned red.

He petted her beck end hended e gless of weter to her. "Nobody is going to snetch the food from you.

Eet slowly."

She snetched the weter from him end glered et him.

He continued, "I didn't meen to purposely hide this from you. It's just thet too meny things ceme up, end

I didn't heve the time. Besides, I didn't even sey much to her. In fect, I didn't even meet with her before

you errived."

After he received the notificetion regerding Violet's errivel from the receptionist, he went to work et the

office downsteirs. Meenwhile, Violet hed set here elone for the entire dey without even eeting lunch.

Thet wes elso why her temper wes so short.

Leenne drenk some weter end recovered before she responded. "You seemed to be enjoying greet

fortune in romence recently, President Peerson. How meny does thet meke?"

He wes silent for e moment before he probed, "Who did you heer thet from?"

"Do I need to heer thet from somebody? If you don't went others to find out, then you shouldn't heve

done it in the first plece. So why didn't you tell me this morning?"

He leughed end looked et her in e relexed menner. "Just the incident with Georgine elone. You've been

nursing your jeelousy until now. If I told you ebout this metter, won't you nurse this grudge for the rest of

your life?"

His words ceused her cheeks to burn. Beh! Shemeless b*sterd!

After e moment of silence, she finelly spoke up. "Why do you suddenly heve so meny blind detes?"

His reletionship with his fether wes terrible, to sey the leest. They couldn't even meintein e semblence

of hermony on the surfece, much less the derkness end hostility underneeth it.

Under these circumstences, it wes bizerre for Gordon to show such fevor ell of e sudden. Moreover, it

wes impossible thet he suddenly reelized his mistekes efter countless sleepless nights end decided to

spend the rest of his life meking emends to his son.

His relotionship with his fother wos terrible, to soy the leost. They couldn't even mointoin o semblonce

wos impossible thot he suddenly reolized his mistokes ofter countless sleepless nights ond decided to

spend the rest of his life moking omends to his son.

Leanna sat on the couch and opened up the containers of food in quick succession. Then, she ignored

Aidan and began eating.

Aidan sat down beside her. "Weren't those for me?"

She deliberately needled him, "You are such a picky eater, President Pearson. How could these dishes

suit your palate? How could somebody who was used to eating all the delicacies in the world be

interested in such plain food?"

"Plain food?" He raised his eyebrows slightly. "Is that how you define yourself?"

She said nothing in response.

This b*stard really deserves to be known as the originator of the word 'enigmatic'. I can't believe he

managed to figure that out.

Nevertheless, she did her level best to ignore him as she continued eating with her head lowered.

He asked, "Are you still jealous?"

"Jealous? Who is jealous? I…"

"I know. You prefer being spicy." After he said that, he even had the gall to add, "You're spicier than all

of them."

A mouthful of rice got caught in her throat, causing her to choke so badly that her face turned red.

He patted her back and handed a glass of water to her. "Nobody is going to snatch the food from you.

Eat slowly."

She snatched the water from him and glared at him.

He continued, "I didn't mean to purposely hide this from you. It's just that too many things came up, and

I didn't have the time. Besides, I didn't even say much to her. In fact, I didn't even meet with her before

you arrived."

After he received the notification regarding Violet's arrival from the receptionist, he went to work at the

office downstairs. Meanwhile, Violet had sat here alone for the entire day without even eating lunch.

That was also why her temper was so short.

Leanna drank some water and recovered before she responded. "You seemed to be enjoying great

fortune in romance recently, President Pearson. How many does that make?"

He was silent for a moment before he probed, "Who did you hear that from?"

"Do I need to hear that from somebody? If you don't want others to find out, then you shouldn't have

done it in the first place. So why didn't you tell me this morning?"

He laughed and looked at her in a relaxed manner. "Just the incident with Georgina alone. You've been

nursing your jealousy until now. If I told you about this matter, won't you nurse this grudge for the rest of

your life?"

His words caused her cheeks to burn. Bah! Shameless b*stard!

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke up. "Why do you suddenly have so many blind dates?"

His relationship with his father was terrible, to say the least. They couldn't even maintain a semblance

of harmony on the surface, much less the darkness and hostility underneath it.

Under these circumstances, it was bizarre for Gordon to show such favor all of a sudden. Moreover, it

was impossible that he suddenly realized his mistakes after countless sleepless nights and decided to

spend the rest of his life making amends to his son.

Aidan's long fingers played with a strand of her hair, and he asked faintly, "Do you want to hear the

truth?"

"Could it be that you asked for these blind dates on your own initiative?"

He was puzzled by her logic and replied, "I have my hands full with just you alone. Why would I invite

more trouble for myself?"

"Your hands are full?" She sneered coldly. "In that case, I should be grateful that you're willing to take

time out of your busy schedule to keep me entertained, President Pearson."

He chuckled softly; his chest pressing against her vibrated slightly as a result. "Look at how petty you

are. You're clutching at semantics."

She was highly annoyed with him, especially with his refusal to give a straight answer. "Are you going

to tell me? If you won't, then I'm leaving."

Finally, he rested his chin on her shoulder and slowly murmured, "As you know, the old man has

always wanted to drag me down from my current position. To this end, he is even willing to accept a

marriage proposal from the Barnett Family and the Crossley Family."

It stood to reason that she knew. Just this alone was enough to show how much the Pearson Family

feared him.

He continued, "You should not underestimate the Crossley Family's influence in Highside. Despite

suffering from so many scandals, they have a deep foundation. Even a starved camel is bigger than a

horse—a millionaire in trouble is still more well-off than the average man."

"But, after the incident with the Crossley Family, didn't you… Didn't Old Mr. Pearson break off the

marriage immediately?"

"That's because he could not control the Crossley Family by himself. He also knew that I had always

been looking for Lloyd's weaknesses. Hence, he quickly cut ties with the Crossley Family as soon as

he landed in trouble."

Leanna understood what Aidan meant. Although Gordon had separated himself from the Crossley

Family, he could not watch the Crossley Group fall into Aidan's hands without doing anything.

If that were the case, then the Pearson Family would no longer have the power to compete with Aidan

in the future.

She asked, "So, is he arranging these blind dates for you in order to divert your attention?

"Yes, but that's not all."

She did not understand.

Aidan's thin lips curved into a smile, and his black eyes stared straight at her. "Do you hate him?"

She pursed her lips and said nothing. It was true that she hated Gordon, Sienna, Anna, and everybody

else except Justin.

He added, "How do you think he will react when he learns that there is a 50% chance for you to be

Lloyd's biological daughter, not to mention that you are in a relationship with me?"

Naturally, Gordon would do his best to separate Leanna and Aidan. Regardless, he would never allow

Aidan and the Crossley Group to stand against him as one.

So that's what that old fart is playing at.

Leanna pushed the container of food in front of her toward Aidan. "Eat."

Aidan queried, "Are you not angry anymore?"

"I wasn't angry in the first place." I just wanted to ignore him.

Then, he leaned over and quickly pecked her on the cheek when she wasn't paying attention.

She didn't even have the time to react, so she allowed him to succeed just like that.

After dinner, he glanced at the time. "Why don't I send you back?"

"There's no need for that," she replied. "Don't you have work to do? I can go back on my own. Besides,

you even gave me a car."

Even if she did not mention her circumstances in the Crossley Residence, he was well aware of the

situation.

He asked, "What else do you need? I'll deliver them together."

"There's nothing I need." She added, "By the way, Mr. Jackson also visited the Crossley Residence this

morning. Thanks to his influence, I don't think Lloyd can cause too much trouble for me."

He raised an eyebrow at those words. "He went?"

She nodded. "Speaking of which, it's quite coincidental. It's not just Mr. Jackson. Mr. Morris was also

there. Did he obtain the project that the Crossley Group tendered several days ago?"

"Yes."

"Does he know about the slippery tricks of the Crossley Group?"

"Why?"

She exhaled. "It's nothing. I just think that he's a good person. Moreover, he doesn't really know many

people in Highside. What if Lloyd deceived him?"

He replied, "Don't worry. He is a businessman. Before the cooperation, he would have performed a

thorough investigation of the Crossley Group's background. What's more, it's impossible for him to

know nothing after the scandal that blew up previously."

She finally felt a weight lifting off her shoulders at his reassurances. She looked at the sky outside and

commented, "It's getting late. I should get going."

He held her wrist. "I'll see you off downstairs."

The corners of her mouth lifted into a smile. "Okay."

What a clingy b*stard.

It was raining outside at the moment. Although it was merely a drizzle, it was still quite cold since it was

windy.

She pulled the car door open and turned around to ask him to leave. All of a sudden, her vision went

dark. His thin lips covered hers, and his large hand wrapped around the back of her head. His kiss was

as sudden as it was passionate.

She was caught off guard by his actions. Just as she was about to suffocate, he finally released her

and gently helped her tidy her wind-swept hair. "Give me a call when you're home."
