I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 575

Leanna stared at his injured arm. In less than two seconds, she took the bag of stuff back. "Never mind, thanks."

Aidan pursed his thin lips as he asked quietly, "Are you still mad?"

She said expressionlessly, "It's in my nature to stay mad for as long as I can."

He was speechless.

At least she was still willing to talk to him.

Just then, the elevator doors opened. Leanna walked out with everything in her hand. She placed the bag of stuff at

the door so that she could free her hands to key in the password.

When the door opened, she took the bag of stuff inside.

She didn't close the door.

When Aidan saw that, he discreetly licked his lips.

Was she leaving it open for him? Wasn't this too good to be true?

After Leanna went in, she placed the bag of stuff on the table, then asked Louis, "How was he? Did he cry?"

Louis replied, "No, he's behaving quite well."

She raised the corners of her lips. She walked up to the little guy who was playing with his toys, then sat down in

front of him. "Go and get some rest. I bought some food, so you can reheat them if you're hungry."

Louis said, "I'm going to wash some fruits."

He had just gotten up when he noticed the person pushing the door open and walking in. He said, "Now that I think

of it, we seem to be running out of fruits. I'll buy more downstairs."

With that, he left in a hurry.

Aidan closed the door and walked up to Leanna, then sat leisurely on the couch.

When the little guy saw Aidan, he revealed two tiny teeth as he giggled.

Aidan curved his thin lips, then beckoned toward the child. The little guy immediately put down his toys and crawled

over to Aidan.

Leanna was speechless. Weren't the two at odds with each other before? It seemed like they had bonded quite well

recently.

She took a deep breath, then got up and boiled some water to make milk for the little guy.

When the water was at an appropriate temperature, Leanna poured it into the milk bottle and shook it. She was

about to turn around and walk back when a figure leaned into her.

Aidan supported himself with both hands on the table, trapping her in his arms as he asked, "Are you still mad?"

Leanna raised her head and met his gaze. "Enough to power an entire building."

Aidan fell silent.

He chuckled in a deep voice, then leaned in closer to her, the tip of his nose touching hers as he said, "I'm sorry.

Please stop being mad at me, okay? Forgive me."

Leanna stared at his injured arm. In less than two seconds, she took the bag of stuff back. "Never mind, thanks."

She was unaffected, her expression calm as she responded, "I've given you so many chances before, but you don't

seem to care about what I think at all. Do you know that when I look back on how I behaved, I feel like I'm a fool

being toyed with by you? Some time ago, I even suspected that I was sick and wanted to see the doctor. Even

under those circumstances, you didn't tell me the truth. Tell me, what am I forgiving you for? For treating me like a

fool and deceiving me?"

fool and deceiving me?"

Aidan said, "I didn't stop you from seeing the doctor, did I?"

"Yes, but after talking to the doctor, I was even more convinced that I was crazy."

She smoothed out her hair by her ear. "Even if you're crazy, you're still beautiful."

Leanna looked at him expressionlessly, thinking that she should get some dish soap.

Aidan's tone was low as he said, "I was originally thinking that I'd tell you everything when I brought him out of the

Pearson Family, but I didn't expect something to go wrong. I didn't intend to hide it from you for so long, but I didn't

know how to approach the subject. I'm scared that you'd ignore me if you knew—just like what you're doing right

now."

His voice was a little low with hints of desolation mixed in.

Leanna sneered. "Must be hard for you."

He said, "As a man, carrying responsibilities like this shouldn't be a big deal."

She couldn't be bothered with him as she reached out and pushed him. "Get off."

Aidan was unmoving as he gazed intently at her with his dark eyes. "Honey, give me one more chance, alright?"

"So, you're not moving, are you?"

Leanna stepped on his foot, and before he could react, she bent down and tunneled out of his embrace.

She sat next to the little guy, then poured some milk on the back of her hand. The temperature was just right. So,

she carried the little guy in her arms and began feeding him.

The little guy sat in her embrace, holding the milk bottle with both hands. He quickly finished the milk, then looked

up at Leanna as he waved the milk bottle in his little hands, saying happily, "Mama…"

Leanna curved her lips into a smile, then placed him next to the pile of toys. "Go and play."

Aidan walked over to them, then kneeled on one knee in front of the little guy. He scratched the child's chin as he

said, "Come on, say 'Daddy'."

The little guy glanced at Aidan. There was no reaction from him as he mumbled continuously, "Mama…"

Aidan felt his veins pop. Since when had the child learned to call 'Mama' and nothing else?

When Aidan saw that the little guy was focusing all his attention on his toys and had no intention of responding, he

grabbed the toy from the child's hands as he repeated patiently, "Say 'Daddy'."

When Aidan saw that the little guy was focusing all his attention on his toys and had no intention of responding, he

grabbed the toy from the child's hands as he repeated patiently, "Say 'Daddy'."

Noticing that his favorite toy was gone, the little guy pursed his lips, then turned around to hug Leanna's leg. Tears

welled in his eyes as he sobbed, "Mama…"

Leanna looked at Aidan. "What's wrong with you? Why are you bothering him?"

"He's not calling me 'Daddy'."

"Isn't that normal?"

Aidan frowned, upset. "How is that normal?"

She carried the pitiful child in her arms. "Children can tell if you're good or not. If he's not calling you 'Daddy', it can

only mean that you're not a good person in his eyes."

"Didn't you see how happy he was when I came in just now?"

"He was just being polite."

Aidan fell silent.

She was quick to pick up the skill of making things up on the spot.

Leanna gave the little guy another toy, and he instantly forgot about what just happened as he grinned.

Aidan looked at her, then said in a low voice, "I want to hold him too."

Leanna was speechless because he sounded like a spoiled brat.

Unwilling to witness that again, she was about to pass him the little guy when he pulled her into his embrace. A

familiar smell invaded her senses.

Before Leanna could say anything, Aidan's voice sounded. "You promised that you wouldn't ever leave me while I

was in the hospital, but after I woke up, I never saw you."

Leanna was quiet for a while. "Can you stop talking to me in that tone?"

She was getting goosebumps already.

"Can't you see that I'm trying to appease you?"

"I think you're trying to kill me."

Aidan harrumphed. "Where did your conscience go?"

Leanna replied, "I have none for you."

The little guy seemed uncomfortable getting squeezed between them, so he started making noises and trying to

get out.

Leanna pushed Aidan away, then held the little guy as she moved aside, putting more distance between herself and

Aidan.

Aidan took off his jacket and got up, then rolled his sleeves as he walked toward the kitchen.

She asked, "What are you doing?"

He said, "Just testing out how much longer you can be mad at me."

"Don't touch my—"

Crash!

It was the sound of plates breaking.

After all this while, Leanna had learned to stay calm as she listened to him breaking her tableware.
