I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 275

Aidan uttered, "I can tell you anything you want to know."

"If you intended to tell me the truth, you wouldn't have waited until now. Besides, even if I ask you, you

can always lie to me, and I can't even tell if it's true or a lie."

He chuckled. "It's not as complicated as you think."

Then, Leanna retorted, "It's not that I'm complicating it, but everything related to you is complicated. Or

maybe I should say you are a complicated person. Whether it was during our marriage or now, I never

understood you."

"That means you've never looked at me seriously." When Aidan looked at her, his dark orbs were quiet,

as if there were no waves. "Leanna, you have been avoiding everything all this while. When we

married, you were running away from yourself, and after the divorce, you started avoiding your feelings

for me."

She parted her lips, wondering how this b*stard thought of these distorted reasons.

Aidan then added, "Think about it carefully. What exactly do you want to know? I will definitely give you

an answer if you ask."

…

When Leanna came home late, Zoe was lying on the couch and checking her phone. Seeing Leanna

returning, she quickly asked, "Where did you go on a date? Did that b*stard let you leave so early?"

Leanna sat next to her and took a long breath.

Seeing her like this, Zoe knew what had happened, so she asked tentatively, "He didn't do anything

bad to you, did he?"

Hearing this, Leanna smiled faintly. "Of course not."

"Then, what's going on here?"

"I…"

Leanna didn't know what to say.

Instead, Zoe said, "That b*stard must've said something again. Nana, sometimes, you just have to look

forward. A relationship will get more complicated, and you suffer more when you overthink it. You no

longer need anyone's permission for a relationship now that the b*stard likes you or if you like him. You

should break up with him if you feel your feelings for him have waned or if you've developed feelings

for someone else."

"If you are reluctant to do that, you can hook up with a few other men too. Our purpose in life is to strive

to be a scumbag who slept with hundreds of men!" Zoe exclaimed and patted Leanna on the shoulder.

"Don't be a coward. Just do it!"

Leanna was at a loss for words.

In the aspect of relationships, Zoe was indeed more open-minded than her.

This time, the doorbell rang, and when Zoe went to look through the peephole, she quickly told Leanna,

"I'm going to sleep now. Let's continue our talk tomorrow."

The figure sprinted before Leanna in a few seconds and entered the bedroom.

Leanna walked to the door, saw Daniel standing outside, raised her hand, and scratched her brows.

She took what she had just said back. Indeed, people could only speak truthfully when they analyzed

someone else's feelings. Still, when it came to themselves, they were often stuck.

When Leanna opened the door, Daniel saw her and asked, "Miss McKinney... Haven't you slept yet?"

"I just came back. What's up?"

He handed her the champagne and explained, "When I came to your house for dinner yesterday, I

forgot to bring a gift. Here's one to make it up."

"Don't worry about it. It's just a meal," said Leanna.

"This is due courtesy, Miss McKinney. Please accept it."

Leanna knew Daniel always insisted on strange things, so she accepted it. "Thank you, then."

"I should be the one to thank you."

After Daniel finished speaking, he didn't leave.

Seeing him like that, Leanna thought he had something to say, so she didn't kick him out but tilted her

head while waiting for him to continue.

After a while, Daniel asked, "Sorry for being nosy, but are you and President Pearson getting back

together again?"

She probably didn't expect him to ask such a question, so she was slightly startled.

He smiled and continued, "Don't get me wrong. I just saw him taking you back, so I'm asking casually. If

you find it inconvenient to answer, you don't have to answer."

Leanna laughed. "It's nothing, but it's just that I don't know the answer myself."

"Are you worried about Elijah?" Daniel continued, "Even though Elijah and I are friends, personal

relationships have nothing to do with others. Your feelings are what matters the most."

His words were indeed unexpected.

Leanna only nodded after a few seconds, saying, "I got it, thanks."

Daniel then smiled. "Merry Christmas, Miss McKinney."

Everything was on its way.

"Merry Christmas."

After closing the door, Leanna placed the champagne in the kitchen and turned to the bathroom. By the

time she came out of the shower, it was already midnight.

She sat at the desk while drying her hair. When she saw the box in the corner, she thought about it

before reaching out to take it. It contained Aidan's first wedding anniversary gift and photos of her at

the love lock bridge in Weavside. Leanna took out the photo frame and watched it quietly. Just looking

at the appearance of that b*stard was indeed enough to make one tempted. At this moment, Leanna

suddenly knew what she wanted to ask Aidan.

On the other hand, something unexpected happened with the Crossley Group when no one was

expecting it. Someone had died in one of the projects that belonged to them, and before they could

suppress the news, it had already been leaked. Immediately afterward, other issues regarding the

project began to surface, one after the other. All of this seemed to go on continuously with no intention

of stopping. Soon enough, the issue of the funds behind the Crossley Group gradually surfaced. Within

two days, the entire Crossley Group struggled to survive amidst all these problems. In the face of these

issues, the Crossley Group did not have a plan for a counterattack, and their setback could only be

described as tragic.

At the same time, Carlile Mayer also released a statement targeted directly at Georgina in which she

claimed that the events that took place in Leanna's studio that day were premeditated. Leanna

appeared surprised when she saw the trending topics and had planned to deal with all this after

Christmas. To her surprise, the Crossley Group had already fallen into such a situation, and it even

involved Georgina.

Zoe chimed in, "What is this called? Karma! Georgina deserves it!"

On the other hand, Leanna placed her phone down and stated, "Someone is obviously behind all

these."

"Do you think it was Aidan?"

Leanna shook her head and glanced at the door. If she was correct, the incident that took place with

the Crossley Group was connected to Daniel. Leanna knew Daniel and Elijah were seeking revenge on

the Crossley Group. Still, she never expected it to be such a huge project.
