Chapter 46 Do You Want a Child? After the kiss ended, Anthony left abruptly. When Leanna wanted to
keep her phone away, an indifferent voice came from behind her. “I didn’t know that you have an
interest like this.” At a loss for words, Leanna decided not to explain anything to him and hurriedly left
after chuckling stiffly. Just as Aidan was about to leave, he stepped on something, and he lowered his
head to take a look.
The brand of a certain maternal and child product company was printed on the paper bag. Without
flinching, he crouched down and picked up the bag. Meanwhile, after Leanna had left the hotel and
wanted to give Zoe a call, it struck her that the latter was in a shoot now. So, she opened the chat
window and typed in something, but every time, she would delete it. The longer time passed, the
heavier her heart felt. Zoe and Anthony had been dating for several years, and their relationship had
always been very good.
Anthony was a remarkable person and he did not lack admirers, but no matter how women threw
themselves at him, he only had Zoe in his eyes. At that time, there were even people joking that he was
Zoe’s tail, following her wherever she went, but he was happy about it. However, everything had
changed after he went abroad for only a year. Zoe is still waiting for his proposal. So, does love fade
away so easily? Leanna wondered. In the end, she lowered her phone lifelessly, as she had no idea
how she should break this news to Zoe. After taking a few steps, she suddenly realized that her hands
felt a little empty.
I should be carrying something in my hands… Suddenly, she looked down and saw that the baby’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtclothing she had bought earlier were nowhere to be found. Rooted to the spot in stunned silence for a
few seconds, she then slowly accepted the fact that she had left the clothes in the hotel room earlier.
Her head was about to explode. Finally, after one peaceful month, why were the unfortunate events
happening one after another? She had totally lost the courage to return to look for her stuff, not to
mention the mood to argue with Aidan. After she returned to her apartment, Leanna laid in bed for a
long time. When her emotions had subsided and calmed down, she got out of bed and started
designing the necklace for Sienna. In the evening, a servant from Castor Villa gave her a call.
“Madam, Master said that he picked up something belonging to you. If you still need it, then come over
to pick it up. Otherwise, he’ll dispose of it.” Leanna really wanted to say that she didn’t want them
anymore, but since that jerk had deliberately informed her, it showed that he had some ideas on his
mind again. If she didn’t go, it would just deepen his suspicions. In Castor Villa, the servant placed
down the phone. “Master, Madam says that she’s coming right now.” “Okay,” he muttered calmly. “You
can take a rest now.” Nodding, the servant bowed slightly and left. Loosening his tie, Aidan then picked
up the bag on the couch and went to the second floor. Half an hour later, Leanna pushed open the door
of Castor Villa.
The lights on the first floor were turned on, but there was no one around. She pursed her lips and could
only go upstairs slowly. Standing outside the bedroom door, she extended her hand and knocked on it.
“Are you in there, President Pearson?” When there was no reply, she suppressed her temper and
raised her voice a little. “President Pearson, are you in?” A few seconds later, a stoic voice of a man
came from inside. “Come in.” Pushing the door open, she then took a few cautious steps inside while
Aidan came out of the bathroom dressed in casual clothes with his hair wet. After peering at Leanna,
he went straight to the couch, took a seat and pointed with his chin. “That’s your stuff.” In hurried steps,
she scurried over and held the bag in her arms. “Thank you, President Pearson.
I’ll be leaving now if there’s nothing else. Have an early rest. Good night.” “Hold it right there.” Stiffly,
she froze in her tracks, and he lifted his gaze gently. “Aren’t you going to explain to me about the stuff
in there?” Holding her body in a stiff position, Leanna told him the lie she had prepared earlier without
even batting an eyelid. “Zoe is preparing for a baby, isn’t she? As the baby’s godmother, it’s… normal
that I’m buying these things.” Reasonable, well-founded and consistent, her story was so convincing
that she almost believed it herself. Chortling, Aidan asked, “Leanna McKinney, do you really think that
I’m an idiot?” His words made her heart skip a few beats, and she forced the plastered smile on her
face. “Everything I said is true, and I can’t help it if you don’t believe it.”
Aidan was quiet, while Leanna’s heart drummed against her chest. Unsure of how far his suspicions
went, she didn’t dare to open her mouth rashly. However, judging from his expression, it didn’t seem
like he was going to skin her alive. In contrast, there was an inexplicable sense of despondency and
gloominess. Some time passed before he finally asked slowly, “Leanna, do you want a baby?” When
she clearly knew that there was nothing going on between him and Mia and Mia wasn’t pregnant as
well, Leanna still insisted to divorce him and even lied to him that she was pregnant in order to provoke
him. Hence, Aidan thought that Leanna was most probably testing him at that time. She wanted a baby
but he couldn’t give it to her, so she threw a tantrum with him and wanted a divorce because of this?
The edge of her lips twitched, and Leanna’s heart, which had almost skipped out from her body, fell
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmback to its place. “I don’t have such a thought.” “Really?” Aidan asked nonchalantly, as though implying
that she shouldn’t deny it anymore because he could read her like a book. Dumbfounded, she then
said, “Even if I want a child, it has nothing to do with you, and I don’t know why you had to ask me over
to ask me about this now. However, I would like to remind you that you’re the one who said that you
won’t allow any woman to be pregnant with your child, including me.” A knot appeared between his
brows. “Did I really say that?” Speechless, Leanna thought, This *sshole really is shameless!
Then, he said, “Even if I said it before, that’s the truth. You should know very well that I don’t plan to
have a child.” “Oh,” she muttered. What the hell has this got to do with me? Hearing the disappointment
in her voice, he pursed his lips for a second and added, “At least not for the next two years, but I may
consider it in the future.” He would never allow his child to be someone else’s puppet after being born,
not to mention grow into a life that was already pre-planned. “You can discuss this with your future
partner, President Pearson. There’s no need to tell it to me,” Leanna said calmly. Casting her a
disgruntled look, Aidan once again felt that Leanna didn’t know what was better for her. He had already
made things so clear and even took a step back, but why was she still being so difficult? Indeed, give
this woman an inch and she will take a yard after having a taste of sweetness, he thought.
Although Leanna didn’t really understand the dangerous look in Aidan’s eyes, she didn’t want to ask
him about it either, and merely said with a smile, “I won’t disturb you then, President Pearson. Good—”
Harshly, he broke her off. “Take all your things with you.” “Huh?” she blurted. What else do I have? “All
the things in your wardrobe. Take all of them away.” “But those aren’t mine…” Basically, all the clothes,
bags and shoes in the closet were delivered directly from the stores, and she had literally not used
them before.
