Chapter 613 I Am More or Less Responsible
On the other side.
After Charles received the report from his men, he snorted coldly. "This is in Jamesdon, not Highside;
he's too arrogant."
His subordinates were silent.
A few moments later, Charles said, "Have you found out why he came to Jamesdon?"
"Not yet, but he has been investigating Mr. Woodley, so it is probably related to Mr. Woodley."
"Lachlan has never put people's minds at ease."
Since the death of Kian, Lachlan had assumed the position of the family head. On the surface, the
Woodley Family seemed peaceful, but in reality, it was in turmoil.
Many people in the Woodley Family felt that Lachlan was still too young to bear the heavy burden, and
they secretly did many things to obstruct him.
Although it was impossible to take down Lachlan ultimately, the existence of these people was always
a hidden danger. So, Lachlan's mother proposed that Charlotte marry Lachlan to consolidate the
relationship between the two families and keep the rest of the world quiet.
Charles belonged to Kian's clan, to begin with. Moreover, the child born from Charlotte and Lachlan's
marriage would become the next head of the Woodley Family.
After contemplating it, Charles consented to this request.
Yet, he did not expect Aidan to appear suddenly at Jamesdon.
Now, Charles was concerned that something would happen.
He mumbled, "Send someone to Highside to find out if anything has happened to the Pearson Group
or the Pearsons recently."
His subordinates nodded and immediately rushed to check.
Within half an hour, Charles received the news regarding the Pearson Family. Sienna had committed
suicide, and Gordon was paralyzed in bed, unable to move or speak.
The eldest son, Justin, had taken Gordon to Vinland a few days ago to seek medical assistance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was no one to influence Aidan in Highside now.
Charles frowned. "Why did you only find out such major news now?"
His subordinate replied, "Someone deliberately blocked the news before this. It was a bit lax in the
Highside now that Aidan had arrived in Jamesdon, so…"
Charles thought about it and suddenly got up. "No! The Pearson Family met with mishaps, and Aidan
visited Jamesdon. It's not that simple. I will go out for a little while. You keep an eye on Charlotte; do
not allow her to run around."
His subordinates answered, "Yes."
Charles hurriedly left.
…
In the next few days, Leanna didn't bother about Aidan, but the b*stard always came to mess with her
and often made her mad.
However, this also diverted the suffocating feeling in her chest, which stemmed from the little guy's
illness.
Zoe sent Leanna's design drawings to the factory promptly. She contacted the models for publicity
photo shoots as soon as the product was completed.
At first, Daniel wanted to look for another photographer, but Zoe insisted she could do it herself.
She became almost a good-for-nothing person once she discovered she was pregnant. She did
nothing and rarely came to the studio.
If she was not allowed to do it on her own, she really couldn't stand it anymore.
The studio officially onboarded all the major e-commerce platforms once they finished the publicity
pictures.
The brand name was 'Starry Night.'
Zoe had finally confirmed the name. She thought Leanna put a lot of effort into establishing the brand,
whereas she herself merely assisted with odds and ends. Hence, a brand name associated with the
designer would be better.
Furthermore, she liked the name 'Starry Night' very much.
However, Leanna felt it was not to her credit to open the studio and establish this brand. She tried to
change the name but was convinced by Zoe to remain as it was.
The brand was in the e-commerce channel, so aside from that sole tweet from the official Twitter
account, there was little to no publicity for the brand.
However, despite this, it was still discovered by many users.
These newly launched models were selling well.
Leanna was lying on the couch, looking at the pictures of models wearing her jewelry. She felt so
differently.
Designing was just a hobby during her college years; she never envisioned becoming a designer one
day.
If it weren't for the help and encouragement from Zayn, she would have been unable to hold on to her
design passion.
Leanna might have given up long ago.
Seeing her drift off at the tablet, Aidan flicked her forehead with his fingers and asked, "What are you
thinking about?"
Leanna rubbed her forehead and said flatly, "Zayn."
Aidan was lost for words.
Since it was getting late, she put down the tablet and prepared to take a shower before going to bed.
However, Aidan followed her in just as she entered the bathroom.
She turned her head to look at him. "What are you doing?"
"I feel that I am more or less responsible for you being able to think of Zayn at this time."
However, this also diverted the suffocating feeling in her chest, which stemmed from the little guy's
illness.
Leanna was somewhat speechless.
This b*stard is quite capable of finding reasons for himself, she thought.
Aidan closed the bathroom door and came forward. He held her wrist, pinned her against the smooth
wall, pinched her chin, and gently rubbed her lips. "I'll suffer for a while to help you get out of that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmapathetic crush."
She looked into his burning eyes and knew without thinking what he wanted to do.
The b*stard had been handsy with her during the last couple of days in the hotel. He occasionally
ventured too far but never reached the final step.
Leanna also knew deep in her heart that he was taking care of her feelings. As parents, their actions
were indeed inappropriate since their child was still lying in the laboratory.
However, Aidan's gaze now appeared to indicate that he intended to take action tonight.
She moved her wrist held by the man. "No. Looking at our child's condition, I—"
"Please be reasonable. His situation has improved, and a group of doctors is watching him. What do
you have to worry about?"
"But—"
Aidan said gently, "Leanna, no matter what happens, we must move on with life. There is always a way
to handle a situation, no matter how difficult it may be. You shouldn't run away and confine yourself to a
small space; neither be willing to come out nor let others in. You would find that you can't change what
has already happened, but we are heading in the right direction."
Leanna was still in a daze after hearing these seemingly philosophical words.
Of course, if he had said these words on another occasion, she would have believed him.
Leanna said seriously, "I think you are right."
The corner of Aidan's lips curled up slightly. When he was about to kiss her, he heard her add, "But my
period is here."
He did not want to speak anymore.
He then remembered something. She is indeed about to go through her period these few days, so
she's probably telling the truth.
Leanna broke free from his grip, escorted him out of the bathroom, and locked the door again before
taking a bath in peace.
Aidan stood by the door and put one hand on his hip. The tip of his tongue was against his teeth; he
seemed annoyed.
At this time, his phone on the couch rang.
He walked over and picked it up.
Jonathan said, "President Pearson, everything is ready."
