I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 564

Gordan pressed his entire weight against the cane in his hands as he demanded grimly, "You've been making a

ruckus here the entire afternoon. What exactly do you want?"

"Don't you know what I want?" Aidan retorted dispassionately.

"I don't know! All I know is that you're getting increasingly out of hand! You didn't even inform me, the owner of the

house, before barging in with so many people. Don't you know that the public already thinks that our entire family is

a joke?"

"A joke?" A snort escaped Aidan's lips. "Everything you do is a joke."

At this point, Gordon couldn't deny it anymore and said hotly, "Everything I do is for your own good as well as for

the sake of the entire Pearson Family!"

"Don't worry. Once you're dead, I'll definitely place a picture of you in the family house so that you can bear witness

to how the Pearson Family reached its doom step by step under your meticulous planning," Aidan said.

Gordon was so furious that he could barely stammer, "You… You're… a wicked son!"

"It's not the first time I've acted out. Aren't you used to it yet?"

Once Gordon's fury subsided, he sneered, "I knew that such a day would arrive. You've always been rebellious, and

the biggest regret in my life is bringing you back to the Pearson Family!"

"I'm sure it doesn't feel as satisfying as burying myself into the grave with my own hands."

Gordan restrained his fury as he snarled, "If this is how you're going to do it, then I'll make things clear with you. You

know what I want. That baby is the bloodline of the Pearson Family, so I won't hurt him. On the contrary, I'll give him

everything I have and make him the heir of the family."

Aidan had nothing to say to that and merely watched him expressionlessly.

"Trust me, you definitely won't lose out in this deal," Gordon continued. "That's your son, and you're going to give

the Pearson Group to him in the future as well, aren't you? So, what's wrong with what I'm doing? Furthermore, I

don't have many more years to live. Once I'm dead, he'll only be a few years old. Then, you can take him back to

your side at that time. Not only will you be able to secure your position in the company, but you can even inherit the

family without breaking a sweat. Isn't that perfect?"

"After all the evil deeds you've done, you still think that you have a few more years to live?" Aidan drawled

sardonically.

However, Gordon wasn't angered by those words as he replied, "You're still too young. I won't be standing here

today if I ever bothered worrying about retribution."

"Are you done with your bullsh*t yet?"

Gordon paused momentarily before growling, "You should give it up. I won't let you take him away unless you do it

over my dead body."

Aidan's lips curled into an icy smirk. "Are you threatening me or giving me an opportunity?"

Gordon merely tapped on his cane lightly and didn't respond. Right then, someone brought the unconscious Naomi

out of the house.

He didn't even turn his head at her as he said, "As long as you're willing, we'll each take a step back and

compromise. I'll let you take her away. Or else, you can forget about meeting her after this."

Back then, he wanted to look for Naomi precisely to deal with the situation today, and from the looks of it now, the

decision he made was correct.

The look on Aidan turned a few notches colder, but he didn't answer.

"Get your priorities straight," Gordon urged. "You should know that I'll provide the best for your child when he is

here with me. However, if you insist on doing this, nobody will benefit from this situation. Back then, your mother

allowed me to take you back to the Pearson Family because she considered your future and didn't want you to stay

in that place with her. She is far wiser than you."

Aidan refuted. "Is this how you threatened her back then?"

"This is not a threat. A smart person will know what the correct choice is."

"Really? Then, I may have to disappoint you."

Aidan raised his hand, and the men standing behind him immediately made their move. A shocked expression

flashed over Gordon's face as he didn't expect Aidan to be so stubborn.

"Do you have any idea where you are now?" he bellowed. "Are you going to take me down here?"

"Aren't you the one who has backed me into a corner?"

When Gordon wanted to say something, he was interrupted by the sounds of a baby crying behind him. He jerked

his head back anxiously and saw the nanny coming out of the house with the baby.

"He won't stop crying, and we can't do anything to make him stop…"

"Just let him cry his eyes out! Why the hell did you come out? Get back inside!" Gordon roared.

Right after he said the words, Aidan's men surrounded them and blocked the nanny's entrance into the house.

Nonetheless, she retreated a couple of steps backward as she held the baby tightly in her arms.

Gordon turned his attention back to Aidan as he threatened, "You better think before you act unless you think

nothing of their lives!"

"If anything happens to them, the Pearson Family will disappear from the face of the earth tonight," Aidan

answered glacially.

Gordon tried his best to suppress his anger, and it took a few seconds to calm himself before he began, "Think over

my offer. You've said it yourself that I don't have many years left to live. So, why can't you just wait a little longer?"

"You're right. I have nothing to consider. Since you don't have many years left anyway, why don't we just end it

tonight?"

Gordon gritted his teeth tightly together in anger and almost snapped his cane to pieces out of sheer rage. This

unruly, wicked son of mine!

Meanwhile, Leanna couldn't be bothered to continue watching the scene unfold a few feet away from them. All her

attention was on the baby now because she thought that his cries seemed to be getting weaker.

So, she sneakily shifted closer and got a better look under the streetlight in the backyard. Then, her eyes widened

in shock. That nanny had her back turned to everyone, but she was secretly covering the baby's nose and mouth,

and all that was left of his cries was just a weak blubber.

Her jaw tightened at the sight, and without thinking of the consequences, she lunged forward, snatched the baby

from the nanny, and into her arms before anyone else realized what was happening.

The nanny had utterly let her guard down, so she only noticed that the baby had been taken away from her when

she saw her empty hands. During this crucial second, someone from Gordon's side made a move, and the sound of

a gunshot pierced through the silent night.

Leanna held the baby tightly as she squeezed her eyes shut, but the pain she was awaiting didn't happen. Instead,

she was in someone else's embrace and heard a muffled grunt.

A commotion started to brew around her, and even Gordon struck the ground fiercely with his cane. "Stop! Who

gave you permission to shoot?!"

Even though he wanted to deal with Aidan, he wouldn't choose to do it at such a time with so many witnesses.

Besides, the baby was here, and he wouldn't let everything become a lost cause when he had already expended all

that effort to kidnap the baby. The instant someone started the fight, whatever happened afterward would be

irreversible.

Leanna panted heavily as she clutched the baby in her arms tightly. All she could hear was the sound of wind

whistling past her ears. While she was still in shock, she heard Aidan's voice asking worriedly, "Are you hurt

anywhere?"

She instinctively shook her head and checked the baby in her arms. Although his face was ruddy, he had started to

wail loudly once more, immediately setting her tense heart at ease.
