Chapter 508

On the way back, Leanna asked Aidan, "Is the renovation at Castor Villa almost finished?"

He smirked. "You wanna move back?"

"No. I just wanted to know if Alice can take care of Zoe for the time being if she isn't busy."

"You can decide whatever. I have no opinion on it."

After getting his answer, she immediately called Alice to tell her about the situation before hanging up

and sending Zoe's address over.

Done with everything, she rolled the car window down as the cool night breeze blew into the car.

After some time, Aidan suddenly called her, "Leanna."

She turned around. "What?"

He licked his lips and stated, "Your period has been late for three days."

Stunned, she took her phone out and saw the red mark noted on the calendar. Indeed, it has been

delayed for three days. This man remembers it clearer than I do!

She gripped her phone tightly. "It's only three days. It's normal for menses to be delayed, no?"

"You're asking me?"

Speechless, she questioned herself why she would ask him that.

She did not believe that Zoe and she would coincidentally get pregnant. Since she was pregnant

before, she knew the symptoms of pregnancy.

A while passed before Aidan stated, "Let's go run a check at the hospital tomorrow."

"No need. What if my period comes in two days?"

"What if it doesn't?"

Leanna parted her lips and found that she had no reply. The man tilted his head and looked at her. "I'm

already at this age. Besides, didn't we do it a few times without any protection?"

Blushing, she turned around and steered the topic. "Just focus on driving."

Due to Aidan's words, her thoughts were not with her during the rest of the drive. She subconsciously

placed her hands on her stomach, not knowing what she was thinking of.

After arriving home, Leanna was about to get into the bathroom when Aidan followed her. "It's not safe

with you alone. I'll accompany you."

Perplexed, she could not grasp the meaning behind his words.

His expression was calm and collected with his gaze settling on her stomach. "The tiles in the

bathroom are slippery. We should be responsible for all life forms."

With twitching eyelids, she asked, "What if I'm not pregnant?"

"That means I didn't work hard enough."

Not wanting to play along, Leanna went into the bathroom, yet she was careless when closing the door,

and Aidan managed to slip in sideways.

As expected, the man started to get touchy in the middle of bathing.

She reminded him calmly, "If I'm pregnant, we can't do anything during the first three months."

He froze for a second before asking, "Didn't you just get pregnant when we divorced back then?"

"I think I was already four months in."

Losing for the first time, Aidan kept silent before he held Leanna's hands.

Feeling a migraine coming on, she clenched her teeth. "You—"

Suddenly, he bit her earlobes as his thumb slid across her lips. "If you want me to continue, stay put."

Facing his threats, Leanna could not help but scold, "B*stard!"

Aidan laughed, his chest trembled slightly.

When everything was done, she had no strength to even lift her arms.

The man carried her out of the bathroom and placed her on the bed before staring at her stomach.

"How about I whip up something for you?"

She responded, "Have some mercy for the kitchen."

"I can get takeout if you want."

"No, I'm not hungry."

Pursing his lips, Aidan did not say anything. He lay down and turned the lights off and hugged her with

his palm covering her stomach. "Just wake me up if you're feeling hungry at night."

He still remembers that I get hungry when I'm pregnant.

Closing her eyes, she grunted softly.

Perhaps Aidan's beliefs had permeated her brain, causing her to dream that Zoe and she were

wheeled into the delivery room at the same time with them cheering each other on.

Yet, after they both gave birth, only one baby was crying.

Leanna saw the baby curled up in front of her, lifeless, which made her wake up in fright.

It was still dark outside.

Flipping the blanket over, she got up and went to the kitchen for water.

Just as she put the mug down, Aidan hugged her from behind, resting his jaw on her shoulder while

saying somewhat sheepishly, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I can buy it for you."

She chuckled and replied, "I'm not. I was just thirsty."

"Go back to sleep, then," he said.

"Okay."

Resting on the bed again, Leanna struggled to fall asleep as she looked at the sharp features of the

man beside her, using a voice that was barely audible to call him, "Aidan."

He heard it and grunted deeply.

"Do you want a child?" she asked.

"I don't like children, but I like you."

"You've said that already."

In the darkness, Aidan smirked before slowly opening his eyes. "Hm?"

After a few seconds, she continued, "I'm asking if you want a child or not. I seem to remember you

saying that you don't plan on having one for these two years."

"Had I ever said that?"

This made Leanna pinch his waist.

Grunting from the pain, he grabbed her hand. "Didn't I tell you not to do that?"

She gazed into his eyes. "Had you ever said that?"

The man fell silent.

Not wanting to argue with him, she said, "I'm not sure what the situation at the Pearsons are like. I'm

afraid they'd use the child as leverage against you. If so, then I—"

"It's different now."

"What's different?"

He explained solemnly, "You have the entire Crossley Group under you now. Besides, you're also a

well-known designer. With that amount of attention on you, they won't dare to do anything to you."

Not to mention the number of people that were protecting her.

Leanna came to that realization as well. "You're right."

Before she was forced to stay at the Pearsons, she knew that only by becoming stronger could she

escape the fate of being locked up. She never thought that day would come without her noticing.

Aidan wrapped her head into his embrace and continued, "Don't think too much. Even without these, I

won't let them hurt you ever again. Leanna, do you know the Pearson Family won't last for another

year?"

"Aren't they—"

"My father's influence has long since waned. The power that's still propping the family up is the backer

behind Sienna. I've already let Oscar handle this. At most, one year. Then, everything will finally end."

She asked after a pause, "Then… Have you ever thought of how to deal with your brother after

everything settles?"
