Chapter 110
Leanna felt that since the days she and Aidan lived together, she would either die due to
the rage he invoked in her, or he would eventually be so fed up with her that he would
deal with her in a way that didn't involve killing. Then, he would bury her in a place where
she couldn't be found.
Fortunately, she b*stard seemed busier in the next few days. She didn't even know if he
would come back at night.
Leanna finally managed to relax and came up with a design.
After she emailed the sketch to Georgina, she left her desk and stretched.
Then, Leanna picked up the phone and noticed that it was the weekend. Immediately, she
texted Zoe to ask if she wanted to go shopping.
Zoe, who just happened to be lying in the apartment Leanna rented, immediately became
energetic after receiving Leanna's text. "Let's go. I'll leave the house after I change."
When they met, Zoe looked at Leanna with a meaningful smile on her face. "Nana, your
complexion seems to be getting better, and you're getting a little more chubby. It seems
like that b*stard is treating you well."
Leanan did not know how to react to this. "What are you talking about? The only reason
I'm surviving is that I've been lucky."
After the two chatted more, Zoe noticed a baby store next to her. Just as she was about to
drag Leanna in, Zoe was stopped by Leanna. "No, no, no! Please, don't!"
Zoe had no idea why Leanna was reluctant. "What's wrong? I saw a cute shirt in there."
Every time Leanna saw any baby products, she felt her head throb. Who knew what went
through Aidan's head the other day when he bought countless baby products? To make it
worse, Jonathan had brought all the boxes from Underwood Lane to Castor Villa in the past
two days.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe didn't know how to explain it to Zoe and just said, "I have enough of those. Let's look
at other things."
"Fine. I'll wait until the baby's born then."
After they strolled around the mall, Zoe noticed that there was a new apartment nearby
and dragged Leanna along to the viewing.
She had already given her previous house to a real estate agent and handed everything to
the agency. She would just have to sign the contract if the price was right.
And if she found a suitable place, she could also pay the deposit first.
The new development happened to be in the business district, with a good location and
surrounding facilities. Hence, a lot of people came to take a look.
This piqued Zoe's interest. But then, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Honey, I like
this one. Let's buy this, okay?"
Anthony might have agreed after hearing Jeanette's coquettish tone if it were anything
else. But, what she was asking, for now, was a house with a down payment of several
million.
He could only prevaricate, "Actually, I think it's nothing special. Let's look at something
else."
"I don't want to. I like this one. Look at this room. We can both live there. Then, this room
can be my dressing room. This would be the baby room. There's also a large balcony that
faces the central square. The view at night must be beautiful."
The salesman next to them began to upsell the apartment, "Sir, Madam, this apartment is
very popular. Unfortunately, there are only a few floors left. The later you buy it, the fewer
options you have."
When Jeanette heard this, she was keener on getting Anthony to pay the down payment
immediately.
The salesman continued, "Sir, since your wife loves it so much, why don't you just buy it?"
Anthony was embarrassed. He couldn't just walk away because of his pride.
Once Zoe had enough of the show, she sneered, "He needs to be rich if he wants to buy
it."
As soon as she said that, several people looked over.
When he heard the voice, his face lit up with delight. "Zoe, why are you here?"
Immediately, Jeanette grabbed him with an unhappy look on her face as she looked at Zoe
and Leanna. "What are you guys doing here?"
"What else can I do here? We're here to buy a house, of course. Unlike you, who's just here
to see."
"Who said we're not buying?" Contempt was apparent on Jeanette's face. "Can you even
afford it? If you can't, leave. Don't embarrass yourself here."
"Then, buy it. Why are you talking so much?" Leanna spoke lightly.
"Exactly. Show us what you can have," Zoe added on.
Jeanette grabbed Anthony's arms and acted coyly as she felt utterly provoked by the two.
"Honey, look at them…"
Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to buy the house right away. He didn't even have
enough money for the down payment. So, he changed the topic by directing it toward Zoe.
"Zoe, I heard you've sold our house on the Internet?"
"My house, not ours," Zoe corrected him.
"Whatever it is, it's still the house we married in. How can you just sell it without telling
me? You're too much."
Zoe was instantly amused when she heard his shameless reply. "Are you trying to save
yourself some face? My parents paid the down payment, and I repaid the loan myself. How
does it have anything to do with you?"
"In order to buy that house, I've reached out to a lot of people. The meals I spent on them
weren't cheap. While you paid the house loan, I paid for our living expenses. I've also
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbought you gifts. I should have a share of the house."
"Come, tell me, what kind of living expenses did you pay for? You spent all your money on
the mistresses. You really have the nerve to mention the gifts. Everything I get, your
mistress gets one too. You're truly a master at multitasking."
Since many people were already looking at the house, everyone gathered around to watch
the commotion between Anthony and Zoe.
Someone from the crowd said, "So this woman is a mistress. No wonder I feel so unsettled
looking at her. She's a vixen!"
"Nowadays, mistresses are really brazen. How shameless of her to coax the man to buy
her a house right after being a homewrecker?"
In the face of people's judgment, Jeanette's face turned red with anger. Then, she pointed
her finger at Leanna and said, "Anthony and I are truly in love. I am better than some
people who would settle with being someone's undercovered wife and not being able to
speak up about being pregnant. Yet, after all that, she still thinks so highly of herself. How
ridiculous."
After she said that, she turned to look at Zoe. "Instead of wasting your time on me, why
not take better care of your friend?"
Zoe immediately exploded when she heard this and went up to Jeanette, grabbed her hair,
and slapped her. "I'll f*ck you up!"
Of course, Jeanette didn't want to be outdone, and the two women began to fight.
Leanna held her stomach; she couldn't help even if she wanted to.
Fortunately, the sales office staff quickly pulled them apart. At this point, Jeanette's hair
was a mess as she screamed, "You lunatic! I'm never letting you go!"
Zoe sneered in disdain and instigated. "Come at me! We'll see who wins! I've long wanted
to get my hands on you two!"
Anthony, who stood at the side, had an unhappy look on his face. "Zoe, you—"
"What's with me? Anthony, as a man, you're really into bad-mouthing people. Aren't you
afraid that one day your mouth might rot with all the slanderous things you've spouted?"
"When did I bad-mouth her? I'm just telling the truth!"
