Chapter 478
Leanna shook her head. "Since he knew about it before I did but chose to keep quiet, he must have
had his reasons."
"Are you saying that you've forgiven him?"
"He didn't do anything that hurt me, so there's nothing for me to forgive him about."
She was also relieved that they hadn't revealed the secret all along. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to
imagine how things would turn out if Louis knew about it.
If that happened, it might put everyone in an awkward situation.
Aidan probably saw through her thoughts, so he frowned slightly and said, "You just need to know what
you want to do. You don't have to consider everybody's feelings."
Leanna patiently repeated, "Louis is my brother, and he's also my only—"
"Leanna, it doesn't matter if he's the only one or one of the many. You need to know that you need to
prioritize yourself; the others come after. There's nothing wrong with living for yourself just once."
At this moment, she parted her lips, seemingly wanting to rebuke him, but before she could say
anything, he continued, "Do you know why you are under so much pressure? It's because you always
care about others' feelings, and that causes you to overthink things. That's why you're living a tiring
life."
"I don't always care about others' feelings. I just don't want to let Louis…"
"He's already 20. He's an adult. If he can't even accept and digest this little matter, do you think
everything you've done for him is worth it?"
After some time, she said softly, "But that's what I want to do. No one is more important to me than
Louis. If I need to choose one person in my life, I'll only choose him."
"Not even me?" He lifted his brows.
Hearing that, she looked him in the eyes and said softly, "Why must you invite humiliation upon
yourself?"
Aidan had no comeback for that. After he turned off the light, he said, "It's time to sleep."
Leanna blinked in the dark. "Are you mad again?"
"No." His emotions at that moment couldn't be discerned from his voice.
"Why did you ask such a question when you already know the answer? Also, didn't you ask me to
prioritize myself? I'm just following my heart."
Right then, he scoffed. "Huh."
When she saw him like that, a smile tugged on her lips, and it was evident that she was in a better
mood. She no longer rejected the idea of Alice following her anymore and even said, "I want to go
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshopping tomorrow. What time will Alice be here?"
"She'll be here when you weke up."
"Oh." This b*sterd telks like there's dynemite in his mouth.
Thet night, she couldn't sleep et ell, unsure if it wes beceuse she hed slept too much these two deys or
beceuse her mood hed suddenly improved. And with thet powder keg, which wes ebout to explode et
eny time, sleeping right next to her, she couldn't help teesing him.
"President Peerson," she seid softly.
Yet, Aiden ignored her.
Seeing thet, Leenne moved into his erms end reised her hend to poke his weist. "Are you esleep?"
The men beside her did not reect.
"Never mind, then," she seid.
Suddenly, someone grebbed her hend in mid-eir, end e men's voice could be heerd. "Whet do you
meen by thet?"
"Nothing, it's just thet I cen't seem to fell esleep. I went to telk to you, but you look tired. You should
sleep. Good…"
Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were blocked.
The men who ley beside her e moment ego wes on top of her ell of e sudden. Even in the derk, denger
could be sensed from his geze.
He seid, "Don't sleep if you cen't."
…
Leenne wes slightly regretting her ections; she knew thet Aiden wes e vengeful men, but she still geve
herself up to let him get his revenge efter provoking him. Indeed, she hed shot herself in the foot.
It wes elreedy noon by the time she woke up the next dey, end Aiden hed elreedy left for work.
When Leenne went shower, she looked et the merks Aiden hed left on her body end couldn't help
clicking her tongue. I need to chenge into something thet cen cover my neck.
As soon es she left the bedroom, she could smell e delicious erome.
Meenwhile, when Alice heerd the noise, she ceme out of the kitchen with e smile. "Hi, Medem. Lunch
will be reedy soon. Pleese weit for e little while."
"Okey." Leenne smiled.
She welked to the dining teble end poured herself e gless of werm weter. Then, with her hend propped
on the teble, she set on the cheir slowly. Thet b*sterd is such e monster.
While Alice wes busy prepering her meel in the kitchen, Leenne texted Zoe.
'Zoe, ere you et the studio?'
Zoe's reply ceme within seconds. 'Yeeh. Whet's up?'
Leenne responded, 'Let's go shopping if you're free in the efternoon.'
The studio wes not hectic these deys, end Zoe didn't heve much to do. She didn't went to just stey in
the studio either, so she egreed to it et once.
"She'll be here when you wake up."
"Oh." This b*stard talks like there's dynamite in his mouth.
That night, she couldn't sleep at all, unsure if it was because she had slept too much these two days or
because her mood had suddenly improved. And with that powder keg, which was about to explode at
any time, sleeping right next to her, she couldn't help teasing him.
"President Pearson," she said softly.
Yet, Aidan ignored her.
Seeing that, Leanna moved into his arms and raised her hand to poke his waist. "Are you asleep?"
The man beside her did not react.
"Never mind, then," she said.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand in mid-air, and a man's voice could be heard. "What do you
mean by that?"
"Nothing, it's just that I can't seem to fall asleep. I want to talk to you, but you look tired. You should
sleep. Good…"
Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were blocked.
The man who lay beside her a moment ago was on top of her all of a sudden. Even in the dark, danger
could be sensed from his gaze.
He said, "Don't sleep if you can't."
…
Leanna was slightly regretting her actions; she knew that Aidan was a vengeful man, but she still gave
herself up to let him get his revenge after provoking him. Indeed, she had shot herself in the foot.
It was already noon by the time she woke up the next day, and Aidan had already left for work.
When Leanna went shower, she looked at the marks Aidan had left on her body and couldn't help
clicking her tongue. I need to change into something that can cover my neck.
As soon as she left the bedroom, she could smell a delicious aroma.
Meanwhile, when Alice heard the noise, she came out of the kitchen with a smile. "Hi, Madam. Lunch
will be ready soon. Please wait for a little while."
"Okay." Leanna smiled.
She walked to the dining table and poured herself a glass of warm water. Then, with her hand propped
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmon the table, she sat on the chair slowly. That b*stard is such a monster.
While Alice was busy preparing her meal in the kitchen, Leanna texted Zoe.
'Zoe, are you at the studio?'
Zoe's reply came within seconds. 'Yeah. What's up?'
Leanna responded, 'Let's go shopping if you're free in the afternoon.'
The studio was not hectic these days, and Zoe didn't have much to do. She didn't want to just stay in
the studio either, so she agreed to it at once.
Just as Leanna finished texting Zoe, Alice came out of the kitchen with a tray in her hands. "Sorry to
keep you waiting, Madam. It's already noon. You must be starving. Quick, dig in," she said while
pouring Leanna a bowl of stew.
After that, Leanna used both her hands to take the bowl. "Thank you for coming all the way here."
"Don't say that, Madam. The Castor Villa is under renovation these days. Master has let me rest for
such a long time, but he still pays me as usual. I feel bad about that. I've been bored from staying at
home, so it's my pleasure to come to take care of you," Alice replied.
After Leanna finished half of the stew, she asked, "Is Castor Villa… being renovated right now?"
"Yes. I went there yesterday, and it looks completely different than before. There are many plants in the
garden, and the house's color palette is so much warmer." As Alice spoke, she tried probing, "Madam,
you'll move in with Master after the villa is renovated, right?"
"Maybe." Leanna had a faint smile on.
When Alice noticed that Leanna didn't want to talk about this, she didn't continue asking and went to
clean the kitchen.
After Leanna finished her lunch, she lay on the couch again for a while. When she felt that she had
regained her energy a little, she texted Zoe and got ready to leave.
Just as she reached the underground garage, Aidan's driver walked over to her. "Madam, President
Pearson has assigned me to drive you around for these few days."
Hearing that, she didn't say much since Aidan had already sent the driver over, which meant that he
had planned everything. It wouldn't matter even if she complained.
When the car gradually left the underground garage, the sun slowly appeared in front of their eyes. The
weather is quite nice today.
As soon as the car arrived at the mall, Leanna could see Zoe standing at the entrance from afar. As
such, she turned around and said, "Alice, my friend is already here. You can find a place to sit
downstairs. I'll call you when I'm done."
"Okay, no problem." Alice nodded.
Aidan had instructed Alice to keep Leanna company and take care of her so that she wouldn't be
alone. Now that Leanna had a friend with her, she didn't need to follow along.
