Chapter 240

Aidan's dark eyes glinted as he looked at her. Then, he said without warning, "They're gone now. If you

still want it, I can line up with you."

"It's okay. I was just kidding."

She just wanted to piss the b*stard off on purpose so that he would get mad and leave the love lock

alone.

However, she did not expect him to behave so unusually and she felt rather awkward about it now.

Aidan's thin lips curved ever so slightly as he held her hand again before walking forward slowly.

When he secured the lock on the bridge, Leanna was scanning her surroundings, trying to hide the

nervousness and remorse she felt inside her.

After the lock was attached, Leanna said, "It's getting late now. I should leave. You can stay behind on

your own if you want to, President Pearson."

With that, she hurriedly strode away.

Leaving the love lock bridge, Leanna felt that even the air was fresher now that the crowd had thinned.

She let out a long breath, then took her phone to hail a ride back when someone grasped her wrist.

"Here."

Leanna pouted. She had been running so fast, but the b*stard still managed to catch up to her.

After the extended delay at the love lock bridge, it was 10.00PM by the time they went back to

Underwood Lane.

In the past, Naomi would have been asleep at that hour.

Yet today, the lights in the yard were shining brightly as a baby's cries could be heard in the house.

Hearing that, Leanna hastily ran in.

In the yard, Naomi was holding the baby in her arms as she coaxed him.

"Ms. Fletcher, what happened to him?" asked Leanna.

Naomi answered, "It's okay, all babies are like this at night. They'll make a fuss, so you just have to put

them to sleep."

"Let me carry him." Leanna reached out after which Naomi passed the baby into her arms.

After a while of coaching, the baby's cries dwindled, but there were still a few uncontrollable sobs.

With the child in her arms, she asked, "Where's Ms. Shaffer?"

Naomi instantly answered, "She caught a cold when we went out this afternoon. She feared that the

baby might catch it too, so she wanted me to help her look after him for the night."

Hearing that, Leanna did not doubt her words at all.

Naomi and Wendy had always been close friends. They rarely had their own relatives visiting them, so

they were like family at this point. Hence, it was normal for them to help each other out.

Leanna nodded as she thought, No wonder the baby is wailing so much. He must've realized that his

own grandmother isn't here.

After holding him for a while, Leanna noticed that the baby's round gaze was glued to the side and his

hands were waving in the air.

She looked in the direction of his gaze, then licked her lips as she stepped forward. "President

Pearson, why don't you hold him for a bit?"

Aidan frowned as reluctance scrambled all over his face.

Leanna pleaded, "Just for a bit. Look how cute he is."

The man slightly raised his gaze while saying steadily, "Not as cute as you."

Remaining silent, Leanna blushed so much that even her neck reddened and she felt as if her entire

body was on fire.

In the distance, Naomi coughed upon making up an excuse to retire to her room.

Seeing that, Leanna felt so embarrassed that she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

As Aidan reached out, she immediately took a few steps backward and warned, "What are you doing?"

"You wanted me to hold him, right?" He raised his eyebrows.

Leanna took a long while to answer, "Oh."

The b*stard had interrupted her thoughts.

As such, she carefully placed the baby in his arms while whispering, "Support his head with this hand

and your other hand should support his butt."

"I know."

Leanna paused for a bit as she saw how Aidan was actually holding the baby in the perfect posture, a

stark contrast to his stiffness when he was changing the diapers earlier. She looked at him

suspiciously. "How do you know, President Pearson? Have you held a child before?"

He looked calmly at her. "You said I know everything, didn't you?"

Indeed, she did.

Leanna coughed. "Then, hold him for a little longer. I'm moving the things inside."

With that, she hastily moved the things from the yard into the house.

Soon, Aidan walked in with the baby, but his expression was grim.

Leanna quickly looked in Aidan's arms. The baby's tightly clenched fists were relaxing and a smile had

returned to his face as his tiny arms waved about happily.

By the looks of his posture, he must have pooped again.

Leanna suppressed her laugh as she said in all seriousness, "President Pearson, I think he likes you a

lot."

Yet before Aidan could get angry, she instantly took the baby from his arms, then went to look for

Naomi.

In the bathroom, Naomi had already prepared warm water for the baby's bath. When she saw Leanna

running over to her, she knew what had happened without asking about it.

Carefully, she took the baby and wiped his buttocks clean, then placed him in the bathtub.

The baby seemed to enjoy his baths as he kicked his feet happily in the water.

Leanna crouched at the side while lightly scrubbing him with a towel. Then, she looked around to see

that the place was fully equipped with children's necessities. She could not help but compliment, "Ms.

Shaffer is too considerate. She even brought all these things over."

Naomi smiled and explained, "It's a baby, after all. He'll need more stuff, and he might feel

uncomfortable if anything is missing."

Leanna nodded as she remembered the things she bought when she was pregnant. A few seconds

later, she asked, "How is Ms. Shaffer's cold? Is it serious?"

Naomi answered with ease, "Not too serious. The cold wind got to her, so she just has to rest for a few

days to recover."

As the two chatted, they finished bathing the baby.

After Naomi dressed the baby, she thought for a bit before asking, "Leanna, I'm thinking of letting the

baby sleep with you today. What do you think?"

"Me?" Leanna was stunned.

"He's alright with strangers. You've been taking care of him the whole day, so if he sleeps with you

tonight, he probably won't make too much of a fuss."

Leanna was a little hesitant. "I've never looked after a child at night on my own before. I'm worried that I

can't take care of him properly…"

Naomi assured, "It's okay, there's a first time for everything."

As she spoke, she placed the child into Leanna's arms. "Just hold him for a bit. I'll ask Aidan to move

the cradle to your room."

Leanna parted her lips to say something, but the baby in her arms seemed to have sensed something

as his tiny hand grabbed a button on her shirt with his eyes curving as he smiled.

The corners of Leanna's lips also turned up as a smile graced her face.

Fine. Since I've looked after him during the day, we should be fine at night.

As a result, she carried the baby and walked around for a bit downstairs. When the baby was nodding

off to sleep, she finally went upstairs.

The cradle was already located in the room she stayed in before. On the table was some baby formula

and a thermos flask, and a bunch of things she might need at night.

Yet, besides these items, there was another unexpected guest in the room.
