Chapter 441
"Can you stop asking me weird questions?"
"Huh?"
Leanna took a deep breath and looked at him. "You're making me think that kid is mine." That was the
first time she said something so straightforward to him. She had tried to see if the kid was hers before,
but every answer she got was opposite to her assumption.
For some reason, Aidan loved asking questions like that. He stared at her for a moment and finally
chuckled. "You're reading too much into it. I just think I can be that brat's godfather if you like him so
much. That way, you can see him anytime you want."
"Thanks, but no thanks."
He added, "I'm in no hurry for an answer. Take your time. Answer me when you're ready." Right then,
his phone rang, and he left the kitchen to take the call.
Leanna placed her pot on the stove and turned the heat on. She spaced out at the blue flames coming
from the stove. Eventually, her eyes started to hurt. I've probably been overworking my eyes. She
rubbed her eyes and turned her attention to the vegetables.
There's no way he would bring that kid up for no reason. Either the child is my son, or he's just trying to
fill in the void left by my unborn child. If it's the former, then everything he said so far would have been
a lie, and he didn't even flinch when he lied.
She spaced out again as she was deep in thought. She had forgotten to put her knife, so ultimately,
she cut her finger. The searing pain cut off her train of thought. The blade had cut her flesh open,

drawing blood. Right away, she turned the faucet on and washed her wound with cold water.
Aidan came back after the call and noticed the blood on the knife and chopping board. A frown creased
his forehead, and he strode up to Leanna. "You cut your finger?"
"Yeah. Would you get me some Band-Aid? It's not a deep cut. I—"
Before she could finish, he turned the faucet off and held her hand as he led her to the couch. "Sit." He
turned around and whipped out a medical kit from under the coffee table. He then took out a bottle of
iodophor and some Q-tips to disinfect her wound.
The pain made her gasp. "Gentler, please."
He pursed his lips slightly and did as she said. "I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow."
"For this? Nah, that's overkill."
"No. To get your eyes checked."
Dammit, Aidan. Can't you say something good for once?
Aidan finished cleaning her wound and wrapped it with a Band-Aid.
Leanna got up and was about to return to the kitchen when he suddenly said, "Sit back down. I'll do it."
"It's alright. I can do it." I don't want you to destroy the kitchen equipment, you know.
He shot her an icy look that said, Are you doubting me?
"Forget it. Just kill the heat. I'll get delivery. I'm now in the mood for some grilled stuff."
Without saying another word, he went into the kitchen and killed the heat.
Leanna then heard a sound coming from the kitchen. She was about to tell Aidan not to clean anything
up, but it was too late. Something was smashed. How the hell did he manage to break at least one
thing every time he goes into the kitchen? Not like she could do anything about it, so she threw it out of
the window and ordered delivery. He doesn't like spicy or grilled stuff, and he has gastric problems. In
the end, she got them something light. It was already late to start with. When the delivery arrived, it
would already be half past twelve. While she was waiting, she took her clothes and went to the
bathroom.
However, just before she could enter the bathroom, Aidan emerged from the kitchen and stood before
her.
Huh?
He asked, "You're hurt. Do you need my help?"
Without a second thought, she locked him out of the bathroom.
Aidan licked his lips and returned to the living room. After he plopped down on the couch, he made a
call.
Soon, the call was picked up, and Keaton's voice came from the other line. "President Pearson, I think
Miss McKinney saw Celia."
Aidan grunted. "But it's alright now."
"Will Miss McKinney stay around for long? Should I move Celia and her friends somewhere else?"
Aidan pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Let me think about it first."
"Of course."
"Has Celia been seeing her boyfriend lately?"
"She went out earlier and ran into Miss McKinney after that. Other than that, no."
Last week, Leanna stayed in the condominium as well. Celia and Naomi had stayed inside, and Celia
only met her boyfriend once in a few days. So, it was not much of a big deal.
"I see. Keep an eye on them," Aidan ordered. "I don't have time to see them right now. So, take care of
them."

Aidan hung up and looked at his drenched shirt. He went into his room to get his clothes before barging
into the bathroom.
Leanna was washing her hair when he came in. The foam blurred her sight, and the moment he
opened the door, she gasped, "What are you doing?"
He stood beside her and unbuttoned himself with one hand. "Mind some company?"
She was rendered speechless. Obviously, he wasn't there just to get showered.
She washed the foam off her hair and picked her towel up. She'd rather skip cleaning her body just to
get out of there.
However, before she could leave, Aidan pulled her back and whispered, "You need to clean your body."
"I—"
"I'll help. And you're welcome."
…
It was only when someone rang the doorbell that the couple stopped making out. Leanna had no
strength left even to move, so she kicked Aidan. "You go answer the door."
He cocked his eyebrow, but he got changed and went to take the delivery.
Leanna took another shower and slowly changed into her pajamas. She was hungry, to begin with, and
the activity earlier exhausted her further. It didn't take too long for her to finish all her food. Then, she
set her eyes on Aidan's portion.
Seeing that, he remarked, "If you wanna eat, you can always tell me. Not like I won't give you."
She then took his food without even saying a word. "Hey, I bought these. Of course, I can eat them."
She ordered a lot just in case he didn't have enough. The food was enough for both of them.
He looked at her, and a smile tugged at his lips. "Living with me is a lot more convenient than living
anywhere else, don't you think?" he exclaimed.
"Nope."
