I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 650 What Are You Up To?

When Aidan saw Leanna standing in a daze, he leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Alright. You don't have to

worry about him. He's an adult now. He must push through the mental barriers that stand in his way."

After hearing that, she shook her head in response. "It's not a mental barrier. Jethro is Jethro, and Louis is himself.

What Jethro did has no bearing on how Louis acted. Simply put, my brother cannot accept that fact. As a result, he

is constantly filled with guilt and believes that his existence was a mistake. He thinks of himself as detestable simply

because he is Jethro's son. This is the stumbling block my brother must overcome." Then, she looked into his eyes

and spoke after a brief silence. "What if he can't?"

"If he can't, he will be tied down to these things for life and will never be able to move forward."

"Does that mean he is now blaming himself for everything that happened in the past that had nothing to do with

him and trying to give up on himself to make amends?"

Meeting Leanna's eyes, Aidan softly hummed after a long while.

"Do you think Louis will be able to free himself from all these once he has done what he thinks he has to do?"

"Maybe."

After another long pause, she uttered, "Okay. I'll try to talk to him."

"Those thoughts have already taken root in his heart. You might be unable to persuade him even if you talk to him."

"I should still try."

After hearing that, Aidan pulled Leanna into his embrace. "That's enough. Your time is up. Now go to sleep."

Then, she snuggled into his chest without another word.

People were naturally good at seeing the big picture when they were on the sidelines, and that was how it has

always been. However, it was difficult to persuade oneself of anything when staring down the barrel of one's

problem. Who would have guessed her brother was also a character in his own world?

…

After Louis sent Daphne home, she exited the car and said, "You should go home now. It's late."

Then, he looked at her while gripping the steering wheel. "Is your driver going to come tomorrow?"

She did not comprehend his meaning, but she nodded nonetheless. "Yeah."

"See you tomorrow then," he responded.

After hearing that, Daphne waved at him. "See you tomorrow. Drive safe!" After saying that, she entered her house.

Then, Louis watched her figure enter the building before driving away.

After getting off the elevator, she saw a man at the entrance of her house and frowned. "Why are you here?"

The man crumpled his cigarette and responded, "I asked around and heard that your shooting had already ended.

Why are you back so late?"

"It's none of your business." While saying that, Daphne was about to use her fingerprint to unlock the door.

Seeing that, the man tried to grab her arm. "Can you please give me another chance, Daphne? I have already

divorced my wife. What happened back then was totally out of my control. I didn't know she would be so insane—"

With a blank expression, she uttered, "I have no interest in your family affairs, so please leave. I'm going to call the

police if you don't."

Then, the man snickered in response. "I don't mind if you wish to see news about us going to the police station

together in the middle of the night."

After hearing that, she furrowed her brows and questioned, "Are you out of your mind?"

"Yes, I am. Do you know how I survived for the past few years? I've missed you so much that I think I've fallen sick."

"Please seek a doctor in that case. Don't make a fuss at my place."

"I know that Pearson Group has provided you with numerous resources over the last two years, but I still have the

authority to speak with Aidan Pearson. Do you think you are more important than his interests? Besides, rookies are

everywhere down the street. What makes you think Pearson Group will not prefer to make other rookies famous?"

In a calm tone, Daphne rebuked, "I don't care whom Pearson Group plans to make a star, so go ahead and tell

President Pearson to keep me under the basement. I don't care. I want you to leave right now."

Narrowing his eyes, the man snorted, "Don't assume you can challenge me solely based on your growing fame.

Believe it or not, I can ruin your entire career with the snap of my fingers!"

"Then, what are you waiting for?"

Seeing how stubborn she was, he exploded into anger. Then, he yanked her arm violently. "Playing push and pull

with me, huh? Even if I took advantage of you right here, no one could do a thing to me, but you, on the other

hand, will have to back out like what you did a few years back!"

After hearing those words, Daphne slapped his face hard and sneered, "Sure. Let's go to hell together!"

Nevertheless, he was probably unprepared for the sudden slap and was stunned for a few seconds.

At that moment, the elevator door opened. A figure showed up in front of them.

While the man was dumbfounded, Daphne quickly withdrew her hand and turned around to fix her cardigan, which

had fallen off her shoulder during the dispute. Suddenly, his face turned as dark as coal. He intended to vent his

anger, but someone was looking at them. The man wanted to settle accounts with her after the boy had left. Much

to his dismay, the boy walked up to them.

Standing before her, Louis fished out something from his pocket. "You left your lipstick in my car."

Then, she took it and smiled at him lightly. "Thanks. You can go home now." Her response clearly showed that she

did not want him to get involved.

However, the man scanned them up and down and questioned meaningfully, "What relationship are you guys in?"

"It's none of your business. Now leave!" Daphne snapped.

When the man heard that, he smiled strangely, smoothed his collar, and entered the elevator.

Once he left, she stuffed her lipstick into her bag while turning to Louis. "It's getting late. Drive safe."

Hearing that, he nodded in response.

After saying that, she scanned her fingerprint again, unlocked the door, and shut the door immediately after

entering her house.

Then, Louis withdrew his gaze and strode away.

In the meantime, the man was leaning against his vehicle and puffing on a cigarette down in the parking lot.

Watching Louis coming out, he teased, "Are you the new artist under Daphne's company? Why did you come to her

house in the middle of the night to pass her her lipstick? What are you up to?"

Without answering him, Louis walked up to him.

Seeing that, the man clicked his tongue. "Well, what can I say about Daphne… She's pretty, has a great figure, and

is fun to play with in bed. No wonder you've fallen head over heels for—" Before he could finish his sentence, he

was struck in the face.

On the other hand, the man couldn't even defend himself before being tackled to the ground and repeatedly

punched in the face and body. Faced with such vicious assaults, he was utterly powerless to resist and could only

howl in agony. Eventually, a few security guards noticed the scene and pulled them away from each other. After

that, the man covered his face and called someone.

On the contrary, Louis stood on the spot with a darkened expression. Glaring at the man with obsidian eyes, he

threatened, "I dare you to approach her again."

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?!"

"I'm a worthless nobody, but I reckon you're not ready to die yet."
