Chapter 559
Aidan's black eyes bore down at Leanna as he languidly said, "My birthday wish is for you to always be
by my side on this day."
Her first reaction was to tell him that birthday wishes wouldn't work if spoken aloud, but she restrained
herself because she didn't want to ruin the mood.
When she got up to get ready to leave, he gave her another passionate kiss. His kiss was intense, but
she was unprepared for it and could hardly breathe. A few seconds later, he let go of her lips and gave
her a chance to catch her breath, but the lust building in his dark eyes was undeniable.
However, when Aidan made another attempt to kiss her, Leanna quickly covered his mouth. Then, with
cheeks aflame, she demanded loudly, "Go home!" I'm unsure if there are cameras in the room, which
is... utterly humiliating.
He smirked and leaned down to whisper to her, "Can I do anything I want to you when we get home?"
She ignored his question and swiftly got away from him. After straightening her clothes, she grabbed
her bag and stomped out of the room. With one hand in his pocket, he calmly strolled behind her.
It was nearly 1.00AM by the time they returned to Castor Villa.
As she reeked of alcohol, Leanna immediately grabbed a change of clothes and headed into the
bathroom. She was already undressed when the bathroom door opened.
Aidan leaned against the door frame with a cloth hooked onto his fingers' end. "You forgot something."
She turned to blankly stare at him, speechless. This b*stard! So, she grabbed a towel and flung it at
him, but he easily dodged it.
Then, he strode into the bathroom and said, "No need to be so polite with me."
The room was soon filled with steamy fog as heavy, needy panting echoed within. Trapped in a corner,

covered in sweat as she sprawled out on the bed, too tired to move.
He leaned in and bit her ear. "Where's my birthday present?"
Finding his nibbling itchy, she tried to duck away from him but failed. "I haven't found the right present
yet. What do you want?"
"What do I want? Well, there's a lot I can name."
Those words gave her a bad feeling, so she turned around to shove at his chest. "D-Don't say
anything. Let me think."
Suddenly, Aidan pinned Leanna on the bed, trapping her between his arms as he peered down at her
with his eyes partially closed. "Do you want a child?"
Aidan's black eyes bore down at Leanna as he languidly said, "My birthday wish is for you to always be
by my side on this day."
She froze in shock, unable to comprehend why he was bringing up that topic again.
After a few moments of silence, she replied, "The doctor said it isn't likely for us."
"Opportunities are given to those who prepare."
That rendered her speechless. Moreover, she was even ready to curse him out now. I'd have much to
say about him if today wasn't his birthday.
A smile hung in the corners of his dark eyes as Aidan gently kissed Leanna on the forehead. "Didn't I
say I'll work hard? As long as you want one, we can always have a child."
"Do you want one?" she asked with pursed lips. "If you do, I'll head to the hospital tomorrow and ask
about appropriate treatments. Be it medication or injections, I will do it. If we can't have one, you should
find someone else."
He was shocked upon hearing that. "What are you thinking about?" he huffed. "That's not what I
meant."
"What did you mean by that, then?"
"Children will come naturally. The more you look forward to it, the less likely it will happen. Conversely,
happy accidents will always happen if you do not expect too much. Perhaps, you might get pregnant
one day."
"That's quite a bad comparison," Leanna said, sighing.
"Am I wrong?" Aidan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, no. You're completely right." She wiggled, trying to get out of his embrace. "I'm exhausted. I want
to sleep."
Suddenly, he grabbed her wrists. "Since I'm right, shouldn't you do something?"
By now, she could no longer bother to expose his plots. He said all that for that particular reason.
"We've already done it twice tonight. I—"
Before she could finish speaking, she was cut off by a kiss.
By the time they were done, it was already three in the morning. Tired out, Leanna immediately shut
her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
After tucking her in, Aidan grabbed his phone and exited the bedroom. He lit up a cigarette and called
Keaton. "Well?"
"He's still not talking."
Aidan scoffed. "Ignore him. Keep a close eye on the Pearson Family Estate. Since he has vanished,
the old man will surely notice it. Perhaps, they might move somewhere else. As soon as they make a
move, tell me."
"Yes." Keaton paused. "Oh, President Pearson, we have news of that streamer. Her friend said she
frequently met up with a guy before leaving Highside. I've looked into the surveillance footage of a cafe
they visited. The man is Nate Davis, a man from Jamesdon. He arrived at Highside three months ago
and works in the alcohol and tobacco industry. However—"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What?"
"However, everything we can find out about him is fake. I've tracked his movements, and he vanished
after arriving at Jamesdon. That means that detail is likely true."
Aidan narrowed his eyes before slowly commenting, "Everything now points to Jamesdon. How
interesting!"
"As for Jamesdon, since Old Mr. Woodley passed away from illness, the heir, Lachlan, has been in
charge. They have no cause or motivation to go through all that effort to mess around in Highside."
"I don't care if they are connected to this. Since someone wants me to go to Jamesdon, we'll seize the
chance to find the truth."
"President Pearson, I've heard that Lachlan is a vicious man who has never been seen before. If you
go there unprepared, would—"
"No rush," Aidan said, flicking the ash off his cigarette. "I'll go after we finish the issue over here."
Keaton instantly understood what he meant. "I'll have someone handle it now."
Aidan let out a hum. "Don't let anyone notice."
After hanging up, he stared out into the night sky. His cold face was stuck in an emotionless look that
did not betray his thoughts.
All these years, except when he was eliminating the spies the Pearsons had planted around him, he
had focused solely on his company's international expansion.
However, Jamesdon was far from Highside, and the Woodleys were the rulers. He had also never once
stepped foot in that entire region. Hence, when it came to Lachlan Woodley, he had only ever heard of
him.
Then, Aidan snuffed out his cigarette. While he was about to head back to the bedroom, he
remembered Leanna disliked the scent of smoke. Thus, he went to the bathroom and took a shower.
He had only gone to bed when Leanna squirmed into his arms out of habit, even though she was still
fast asleep. He smiled upon seeing that and wrapped his arms around her. Sometimes, these habits
are good! At least, this proves that she could not live without me.
