I'm Sorry My Love Novel

“I’m alright, Louis.” “I can tell that you have something on your mind. Did Aidan bother you again

recently?” Leanna gently shook her head and laughed. “What kind of trouble could he have looking for

me?” She was only… After all, Anthony’s remarks continued to linger in her heart. Indeed, what he said

was correct. A marriage that cannot be disclosed to others is fundamentally equivalent to having a

mistress who cannot reveal her identity. The only distinction is that the other mistress has money to

take whilst she merely suffers all day. Being pregnant is so annoying because it makes one emotional.

Leanna said, “It’s late, Louis. You should go home. I can take care of her myself.” Louis wanted to say

something, but Zoe woke up and hurled in the bathroom.

He sighed. “I’ll be going now, but call me if you need anything.” Leanna spent the night with Zoe and

Anthony returned once, but he couldn’t get in since Zoe had changed the passcode. As a result, he had

to knock on the door, to which Zoe wanted to dash out with a kitchen knife, but Leanna stopped her.

After Zoe finally fell asleep at around midnight, Leanna began to react to her pregnancy whereby she

threw up many times. Such a reaction was making things intolerable for her. She sat on the couch for a

while and after some time, she thought of the culprit. Then, she grabbed Zoe’s house phone and

dialled a number.

The call was answered after several rings and Leanna preemptively asked, “President Pearson, are

you awake?” A man’s deep, husky voice could be heard over the phone: “Hm?” “Let me tell you a joke.

Once upon a time, there was a toothpick walking down the road. He walked and walked and saw a

hedgehog. Then, he—” “Leanna.” In a raspy voice, the man interrupted her, “You can’t sleep?” “Thank

you for exposing the scumbag’s true face. My friend had too much to drink and threw up all night long. I

have to accompany her.” Aidan stayed silent. Just when she thought Leanna was going to hang up the

phone, he said softly, “Aren’t you going to tell your jokes?” She had already forgotten what her joke was

after he interrupted her. Then, she inquired, “Do you have any jokes you want to tell, President

Pearson?” “No.” “What about a bedtime story?” Come on. At least tell one to your son and make him

sleep. “No.” It was the same answer. Leanna could hear that he was almost awake.

Goal completed. Then, she yawned. “Forget it. I’m tired. Good night, President Pearson.” She hung up

before he could say anything. She even avoided returning the receiver to the cradle just to keep him

from calling back, after which she slept peacefully on the couch. The following morning, when Leanna

awoke, Zoe was still asleep. She made the hangover cure and poured it in a thermos. Then, she left a

message for Zoe and made breakfast before going to Lux Magazine. As soon as she helped Zoe file

for absence leave, she heard colleagues discussing that President Pearson of Pearson Group had

arrived.

Was this miserable man so petty to this degree? Didn’t she call him in the middle of the night yesterday

to wake him up? He didn’t even care about his company and came here first thing in the morning to

severely chastise her! Just as Leanna tried to sneak away, Harvey’s assistant came up to her and said,

“Miss McK, Mr. Mancini asked you to go to the conference room.” Leanna pressed her temples

because she felt that she was compelled to pay for his own stubbornness. In the conference room,

Aidan took a seat in the chair in stoicness without any sign of emotion. Harvey sat there and realized

for the first time that it would be arduous for him to back down from the scenario. It would have been

alright if he was unaware of Leanna’s relationship with President Pearson, but he was aware of the

connection. As a result, this was the conflict that the couple had to deal with. If President Pearson

obtained the position in an elegant manner, McK would still be hesitant to accept it, which gave rise to a

problematic overall situation. He had a feeling that this conference room would soon turn into a

battlefield. Soon after, there was a knock on the conference room door.

Leanna pushed the door open and deliberately disregarded the other person inside. “Mr. Mancini, are

you looking for me?” Harvey coughed and then introduced in a respectful manner, “This is President

Pearson of the Pearson Group.” Leanna looked at him. “Hello, President Pearson.” Aidan gave her a

glance but said nothing. This miserable man is very good at drawing attention to himself. “It’s like this,

McK. In the previous show, Pearson Group provided Lux Magazine with a spot where he could provide

support.

President Pearson is here about this matter.” Leanna stayed silent for a few moments, then she said,

“Thanks for the offer, President Pearson. I think my performance was mediocre at best. You should

give that chance to someone with more potential.” Aidan retorted coolly, “If you know your skills are

mediocre, then that’s all the more reason to improve yourself.” She thought, Who in the heck said my

skills are average? He continued, “Nobody’s good enough to get this slot except Daphne. Including

you. I don’t want to give this slot to mediocre designers, but I have a promise to fulfill, get it?”
