friands to aach othar, sha falt tha naad to pravant Danial from finding out that Aidan was hara with

Laanna now. No mattar what, sha had to pravant that. Otharwisa, avan if nothing raally happanad

batwaan Laanna and Aidan, Elijah might still hava tha wrong idaa about that.

Aware of her gaze, Daniel raised his head. "What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing."

Zoe dropped her gaze and drank water from the glass slowly.

If she acted naturally, nothing would happen.

Indeed, after a while, Daniel excused himself and went to his study room.

…

In the living room of Leanna’s house.

Leanna was watching Aiden eating the take-out that he brought here with his typical poker face. In her

head, she was trying to figure out what her chance of success was if she tried to drag him out of the

house by herself.

Well, it was almost impossible at all.

After all, it was an undeniable fact that men tend to have much stronger physical strength than women.

To make it worse, the man she was facing was a shameless b*stard.

So, she had to give up on that thought.

Leanna could not bear to stay there for any longer as she felt suffocated by the vibe there.

As she was about to get up to return to her bedroom, a spoon reached her lips. She instinctively leaned

back and looked at Aiden with vigilance. "What are you doing?"

Aiden looked at the spoon and said briefly, "Eat it."

"I do not—"

"I'll leave if you eat it."

It was such a tempting and irresistible offer.

After Leanna weighed the pros and cons, she decided to compromise. However, when she was about

to reach for the spoon, Aiden said, "Open your mouth."

She refused firmly, "I can do it myself!"

Aiden didn't answer but stared at her with his black eyes.

Leanna stayed silent.

She turned her head away from him. "Fine, the deal’s off. I don’t want to eat anymore."

She thought to herself. “Don’t you try to threaten me.”

Aiden licked his thin lips. "Do you want me to feed you with my mouth instead?"

Leanna frowned as she was disgusted by what Aiden just said. "Are you crazy?"

"Then, eat it now."

Leanna looked at him unhappily while pursing her lips and clenching her fists.

Aiden stared at her with his deep black eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly leaned forward.

She felt panicked and hurriedly ate the food from the spoon.

Seeing this, Aiden grinned and continued to pick up the rest of the food from the container.

Leanna gritted her teeth and could only eat them one spoon after another.

Throughout the entire process, they did not speak.

The vibe was getting weirder.

However, Leanna’s fury was somehow easily eased. Then, she just stared at him in silence, which

made it difficult for anyone to tell what she thought.

After they finished the food, Aiden pulled a piece of tissue from the box and wiped her mouth.

His slender fingers lightly stroked her lips with a touch of warmth.

She was stunned. When she looked up and tried to say something to stop him, her eyes merely met his

pitch-black and calm gaze instead.

She couldn't deny that he was actually hot, especially when he was being so gentle.

This kind of tenderness was what Leanna used to dream of having from him.

However, at that point in time, he had always been so mean to her.

Leanna thought in her head. Sometimes, the world just liked to mess with us. The more you wish to get

something, the harder it will be for you to get it. But the moment you give up on that something, you’ll

just get it effortlessly and it would be hard to get rid of it even if you tried real hard.

Aiden raised his brows slightly. "Are you stunned by my appearance?"

Hearing that, Leanna quickly retracted her thoughts, slapped away the hand before her, and said

coldly, "Can you please leave now?"

Aiden chuckled. "You're so temperamental."

Leanna stayed silent at that remark.

He did not take her words seriously. It could even be said that he didn't care about them at all.

Then, he slowly asked, "What do you want to eat tomorrow? I will bring it for you."

Staring at him, Leanna asked thoughtfully, "May I know what you have been up to lately?"

Aiden countered, "Is it not obvious enough?"

"Please make it clear, President Pearson."

"After some thought, I decided to give you one last chance."

Leanna was speechless.

She thought to herself in a sarcastic way. Yeah, yeah. I must really thank God for that chance.

Leanna asked, "Didn't you say I have no more chances?"

Aiden gave a hum. "So, it's a rare opportunity. You should cherish it."

Leanna tried to lose herself, but she had had enough and could not stand it anymore. When she was

about to yell at him, he continued, "However, Oscar said that actions speak louder than words. So, I

have to do something to prove that I'm giving you another chance."

Leanna twitched her lips and thought to herself. "Oscar, right? I will remember him."

"President Pearson, you know what? I think you really shouldn’t be listening to others on this kind of

matter. You must follow your heart. You can't change the values that you have always adhered to just

because of some shallow words spoken by others."
