Chapter 782 Are You Hiding Something From Me?
On the other hand, in the late afternoon, around 4.00PM to 5.00PM, Leanna called Zoe.
After hearing from Zoe that the filming was going smoothly and they might finish around 7 that evening,
Leanna went home to prepare dinner.
Just as she was about to leave the building, she received a call from an unknown number.
She answered the call and heard Ron's voice. "I found where she is staying, but she is very cautious
and keeps the curtains closed. We can catch her in the evening."
While holding her phone, she replied, "Okay, I got it. But I won't be able to come tonight. I'll give you an
address and a number, you can bring her there directly."
After hanging up, Leanna sent Daniel's number and the hospital's address to Ron.
This was originally a matter between Daniel and Amanda, but after Aidan was somehow implicated in
this matter, she decided to find the person responsible.
Therefore, she entrusted Daniel to handle it.
Back at home, Leanna took out the ingredients she bought in the morning from the refrigerator and
started cooking.
After washing everything that needed to be washed and putting everything that needed to be cooked
on the stove, she stood up and stretched.
The sun was slowly setting outside, and a few rays of sunlight shone through the window, quietly
illuminating the room.
Leanna glanced at the time and saw it was already 6.30PM.
She picked up her phone and saw the photos Zoe had sent her.
The filming might still need another two to three hours.
Then, she headed to the balcony and brought in the clothes she had hung out last night.
While folding the clothes, she heard footsteps from the hallway.
When she looked up, she saw Aidan walking toward her and asked somewhat surprisedly, "Why are
you home so early?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSitting next to her, Aidan nodded lightly. "I went to the studio, but you weren't there."
"I thought you would only come home after 8.00PM, so I didn't tell you."
Since returning from Jamesdon, Aidan had always returned home around 9.00PM.
Last night, Leanna had told him she would be inviting Freddie and the others over for dinner today and
asked if he could come home earlier, to which Aidan replied it had to depend on the situation.
Therefore, she didn't expect him to return so early.
Aidan asked, "Did you go to see Ron yesterday?"
Leanna was confused but said nothing.
Instead of answering his question immediately, she lowered her head and sniffed the clothes she had
just brought in.
Is his sense of smell as sensitive as a dog's?
She had washed her clothes twice, so there shouldn't be any smell of tobacco.
Seeing her shock and confusion, Aidan pressed his tongue against his teeth and asked, "What are you
thinking?"
Leanna quickly put down the clothes. "Nothing... How did you find out?"
"If you don't want others to find out, don't do it."
Leanna rolled her eyes. "That advice would be better for you."
Aidan raised an eyebrow, probably feeling guilty but didn't say anything.
After a while, he spoke again. "Why are you looking for Amanda?"
While folding the clothes, Leanna explained, "Didn't Elijah say that if we find her, we will know who she
gets her orders from, and everything will be clear? Anyway, finding someone is easy as pie for Ron, so
I asked him for help."
Aidan was quiet for some time. "Are you doing this for me?"
"Not really, I'm doing it for myself."
That answer somewhat confused Aidan.
Leanna replied, "I claimed that I trust you before Elijah, so I have to play the part and investigate this
matter, just in case it really has something to do with you. Otherwise, I would have embarrassed
myself. I have to take the opportunity—"
However, Aidan interrupted her by grabbing her face with one hand and leaning toward her, whispering,
"Can't you say something nice?"
Leanna patted his hand to motion for him to let go. "I learned it from you."
Before she could continue, Aidan lowered his head and bit her lip.
After a moment, he let go of her and said, "I learned that from you."
That rendered Leanna speechless.
"In the future, say something nice, and I'll reward you too."
She was not expecting that.
Blushing, she got out of his embrace and stuttered, "W-Who would want such a reward?"
Why did that sentence sound so ambiguous when he said it?
Leanna stood up and stuffed the folded clothes into his arms. "Put them in the closet. I'm going to cook
dinner!"
Aidan's lips curled into a smile as the happiness in his black eyes deepened.
After entering the kitchen and placing the rice on the stove, Leanna began chopping up the vegetables
and preparing the condiments.
Not long after, Aidan appeared behind her.
She looked at him and asked, "Did you take a shower?"
The other replied softly, "Yes."
Leanna said, "Then you shouldn't be here. I'm about to start cooking, so there would be a lot of
smoke."
Just as Leanna was about to open the refrigerator, she felt the man grab her arm.
She met his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
Aidan reminded her, "I remember I promised you that I would never hide anything from you."
Leanna replied, "I'm already used to it..."
She knew that Aidan was busy and had many things to deal with, so he couldn't tell her everything.
Also, she thought she already found out almost everything she needed to know.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBack then, her anger toward him was because she didn't know her child was still alive.
Other than that, everything was fine.
Now, her wish was simple. She wouldn't want anything else as long as her baby was doing well.
Aidan explained, "There are some things that I don't want to hide from you, but I don't know how to
bring it up."
Leanna replied seriously, "Then you can write it down."
This time, it was Aidan's turn to be speechless.
Seeing his reaction, Leanna suggested, "Or you can draw it on paper?"
Aidan put his hand back in his pocket. "Let's cook."
Leanna looked at him and thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, since you've brought it up, I can
give you another chance. But... Everyone has the right to equality, so since you're given another
chance, I should get one too."
Once Aidan heard that, he furrowed his eyebrows, immediately catching the key point. "Are you hiding
something from me?"
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know how to bring it up."
Leanna sincerely returned his words to him.
Aidan was at a loss for how to retort.
He said, "Then write it down or draw it."
Leanna suddenly found their meaningless conversation amusing and then pushed Aidan out of the
kitchen, saying, "Alright, stop fooling around. I need to cook, or else the dishes won't be ready before
they arrive."
While standing outside the kitchen, Aidan watched her figure and massaged his temples.
At this moment, his phone rang.
It was a call from Keaton.
Aidan came to the balcony and answered the call. "Speak."
Keaton reported, "President Pearson, we have found a lead. Now, we're just waiting for her to come
out."
Aidan replied, "Ron is already nearby. Make sure to avoid him when you make your move and don't let
him discover your whereabouts."
