Chapter 47
Aidan said, "Do they look like they're my stuff? Move them away. It annoys me just by
looking at them."
Aidan said, "Do they look like they're my stuff? Move them away. It annoys me just by
looking at them."
Leanna was silent for two seconds before she said, "President Pearson, I guess we'll just
have to throw them away if you don't want them."
After hearing that, he involuntarily reprimanded her after he heard her words, "Do you
think I hire servants just for the sake of helping you take out the trash? Take them outside
and throw them yourself!"
As soon as she heard that, she was speechless. Then, she grumbled after a while, "But
they're too much. I can't take that much."
Even so, he was still being insensitive. "Don't you know that you can come over every day
and throw them away little by little?"
Seeing that Aidan was in no way willing to compromise with her, Leanna took a deep
breath. "Fine. But I have some work on hand right now, so I hope you can be merciful and
give me a few more days to settle this matter."
Immediately after she spoke those words, silence took over the atmosphere surrounding
them. The silence continued after a few seconds until Aidan reluctantly hummed through
the tip of his nose.

"Well then, I shall take my leave first. Goodbye, President Pearson."
With that, Leanna moved her feet and walked away. However, Aidan's voice came from
behind just when she took a few steps forward. "Let the driver send you home."
Hearing his voice, Leanna halted her tracks for a moment. Then, she declined his offer by
saying, "There's no need to be so troublesome. I'll head outside and take a taxi by myself."
"Didn't you ever say that it's unsafe for someone so loveable and gorgeous like you to
walk on the streets alone at night?"
The words that escaped Aidan's lips surprised Leanna and made her unable to respond
swiftly. After a long while, she finally reacted and let out a hollow laugh. "Did I ever say
so?"
However, it was clear that Aidan wasn't interested in continuing the conversation. Thus,
he withdrew his gaze and ignored her.
Aidan said, "Do they look like they're my stuff? Move them away. It annoys me just by
looking at them."
When Leanna noticed that, she rubbed her nose awkwardly and left.
Once she arrived downstairs, the driver appeared in front of her just as she was about to
head outside. "Madam, Master has asked me to send you home."
Upon hearing the way the driver addressed her, Leanna patiently corrected, "Don't
address me as Madam anymore. Aidan and I have already divorced, remember?"
Nevertheless, the driver was obviously not as tactful as Jonathan. He held himself back for
a while before saying, "Yes… Madam."
On her way back, Leanna leaned against the car window while holding a paper bag.
Thinking about Aidan, she breathed out a long sigh.
Fortunately for me, that b*stard, Aidan's mind always functions very differently from
others. When he saw the folic acid, he suspected that Zayn and I were trying to get me
pregnant. Then, when he saw the baby clothes, he suspected that I wanted a child. In
short, he never once suspected that I might actually be pregnant right now. Regardless,
I'm glad I managed to escape another catastrophe again this time.
At the same time, Leanna also realized one thing through the lessons she learned after
she faced two incidents. It will be hard for me to keep this a secret from Aidan. He'll find
out sooner or later if I stay here any longer.
With that in mind, she wished to find Harvey and see whether she could ask for his
permission to leave Highside after she was done with the jewelry customization order this
time.
I'm basically just designing anyway, so it's fine for me to not go to work in the magazine
unless there's something major.
Although she didn't know how long she could hide this secret from Aidan this way, it didn't
matter much to her now. The most important thing now was to keep Aidan in the dark for
as long as she could.
Besides…
At that moment, Leanna remembered Aidan's words from tonight. He has clearly said that
he didn't want children, and if he ever finds out that I'm pregnant one of these days, the
life of this little bean in my belly will certainly be in danger.
When Leanna noticed that, she rubbed her nose awkwardly and left.

phone to call Zoe.
Once she got home, Leanna sat in front of her design for a while before she took out her
phone to call Zoe.
As soon as the call went through, Zoe asked, "Sweetie! What's wrong?"
In the meantime, Leanna could sense the tinge of happiness in Zoe's voice. Not only that,
she could also hear the noises coming from her side of the phone.
Holding her phone, Leanna said, "Oh, nothing much. By the way, where are you now?"
"I'm at the amusement park. It's rare that Anthony got off work on time and didn't have to
attend any social engagements today, so he decided to take me to have fun at the
amusement park. Would you like to come over and join us?"
Leanna declined after hearing those words. "No, it's fine. Have fun and enjoy yourself."
Ever since she found out that Anthony was cheating on Zoe, Leanna had always wanted to
find the right time to tell her friend. However, as Zoe's close friend, Leanna couldn't bring
herself to dampen Zoe's spirit and ruin her mood when she was feeling so happy. For
someone who had gone through a divorce, Leanna knew all too well the heartbreaking
feeling of being betrayed by your loved ones.
In the meantime, Zoe walked to a quiet place as there was something that she wanted to
tell Leanna. Covering her phone's speaker, she whispered to Leanna. "Nana, between us, I
have a hunch that Anthony will propose to me tonight. His behavior is just so unusual
today. Oh, what should I do? Do you think I should just agree to his proposal right away?
Or should I restrain myself and reject him?"
Just as Leanna was about to speak, Anthony's voice came from the other end of the
phone. "Baby, who are you on the phone with?"
