Chapter 264
Aidan sneered, "Send them a photo of Anna as a warning. If they try anything again, we'll send them
her finger."
"Okay." Jonathan nodded.
After Jonathan left the office, Aidan took out his phone and tapped lightly on his phone. A few minutes
later, he posted a story on his WhatsApp. 'This is my first time spending Christmas at my girlfriend's.
What gifts should I prepare?'
Oscar immediately replied, 'Is she your girlfriend yet? How can you casually call her that? You might
get slapped one day!'
'I think the best gift would be you not going over…' Daphne commented.
Aidan took a deep look at the replies he got and immediately archived the chats.
He didn't expect to get any useful answers from them either. This was his way to notify Leanna in
advance, lest she would come up with multiple reasons.
On the other hand, Leanna was so frightened by what she saw when the story popped up that she
almost dropped her phone.
This b*stard is really shameless! Where did he get his confidence from?!
When Zoe noticed Leanna's complicated expression, Zope immediately got curious, came over, and
asked, "What are you looking at?"
When she saw the story that Aidan posted, she laughed. "Haha. He'll get a reality check tomorrow
night."
If she were friends with Aidan on WhatsApp, she would definitely comment, 'Your girlfriend is going to
someone else's house for Christmas. Your love has been replaced.'
Leanna put down her phone. She was at a loss for a moment.
Zoe, who was peeling an orange, gave half of it to Leanna. "Are you going to tell that b*stard in
advance? At least he'd be mentally prepared. Otherwise, he would be coming here for nothing, and it'd
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdefinitely piss him off even more."
When Leanna heard this, her face instantly flushed as she stammered, "I-If I do that, won't that mean
I'm actually… his girlfriend?"
All this b*stard does is make people's life difficult!
Zoe seemed to agree with what Leanna said and sighed. "Then, I guess we have no other choice. How
lucky. I want to be caught up in such a situation as well."
Leanna was speechless when she heard this.
After taking a shower and returning to the room, she continued to toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep.
Her thoughts seemed to annoy her.
After an unknown amount of time, she sat up abruptly and reached out for her phone by the bedside.
Then, she dug out Aidan's number. However, when his number was displayed on the screen, she
hesitated and did not dial it.
Just then, the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated, startling her.
When Leanna looked down, the name that flashed across the screen belonged to that b*stard.
In a trance, she almost thought that she was the one who called him.
She held onto the phone for a moment before she slowly answered it. "Is there anything I can help you
with at such late hours, President Pearson?"
"Are you asleep?" Aidan asked in a low voice.
"I was woken up by your call."
"Great. I have something to tell you."
Leanna was a little annoyed by what she said and subconsciously spat, "I already know."
On the other end of the phone, Aidan was silent for a few seconds before he asked, "Know what?"
"I already know that you plan to come to my house uninvited tomorrow night. There's no need for you
to call me in the middle of the night to tell me again," she pressed.
This instantly made him chuckle. "I said I'm going to my girlfriend's house. Are you my girlfriend?"
Sh*t! I fell right into his trap!
In the face of her silence, he spoke again, "That's not what I want to talk about."
"Then, what is it?"
"I'll take you somewhere tomorrow night."
"Where?"
"You'll find out once we're there. You'll love it."
After considering for a moment, Leanna finally decided to tell him. "President Pearson, I have plans
tomorrow night. You should go back home for Christmas. If you really can't, you can celebrate it with
Ms. Fletcher."
Hearing this, Aidan's voice immediately turned cold. "What plans?"
"J-Just plans. I don't need to explain myself to you. It's my own privacy."
"Every time you have plans, other than being with Elijah, what else can it be?"
Annoyed by his aggressive tone, she retorted, "It doesn't matter who I'm with. I'm not doing anything
wrong. What does it have to do with you?"
"Why can't I control you?" He was incredibly displeased by this.
This whole conversation was ridiculous to Leanna. "President Pearson, you don't actually believe I'm
your girlfriend just because you said so, do you? Even in court, the judge has to ask the convict if he
admits to his crimes or not. How can you decide who I am to you?"
"Why are you comparing yourself to a criminal?"
"I—"
Leanna was so annoyed by his careless remarks that she directly hung up the phone. She didn't want
to talk to him any longer.
She regretted telling him her plans. She should have let him come all the way for nothing!
Then, she lay back on the bed, pulling the quilt over her head before falling asleep.
…
Because Leanna would be out with Elijah this evening, she got up early to prepare lunch for Zoe and
Louis.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt 11.00AM, she heard the doorbell and the security alarm ring. Can it be that b*stard?!
Zoe had just come out of the bathroom and walked over to the door. Unexpectedly, she saw Daniel on
the security camera.
Immediately, a frown formed on her face. "What is he doing here?"
"I invited him over," Leanna said when she came over.
Was this man attached to them just because he stayed here a few days?
"I bumped into him in the elevator yesterday. He said that he was still living alone, so I invited him
over."
When she heard this, Zoe pouted and said, "He can enjoy his canned food happily alone. Oh, maybe
today might be the day he has to fast because of his beliefs."
At this point, Leanna did not know what to do with this friend of hers.
Once Zoe opened the door, she immediately turned around and headed toward her room.
Daniel only saw her walk away before he could even say hi, so he asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"Nothing. Maybe she just woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Leanna answered.
He raised his eyebrow and said nothing as he came in.
After sitting on the sofa, Louis came into the kitchen. Leanna immediately pulled him and asked in a
low voice, "Why did you invite him? Don't you know that Zoe and him—"
"It's fine. Don't worry about it."
She retracted her gaze and asked again, "Speaking of which, I didn't get to ask you where you went
yesterday. Did something happen?"
"I just went to meet a friend. Nothing happened."
She pursed her lips and studied him. Seeing how serious he sounded, it didn't seem like he was lying.
So, she did not question him further.
However, it was Louis' turn to ask questions. "I heard from Zoe that you're going over to Elijah's place
tonight."
Leanna was speechless. That blabbermouth!
"I'm just returning a favor. It's not what you think," she answered lightly.
