Chapter 453

After finally breaking free from Aidan's shackles, Leanna walked to the kitchen. "What do you want to eat?" she

asked. "Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll make it for you."

The man let out a chuckle at that. "Is it because you want to eat something yourself, or are you going out of your

way to prepare food for me?"

She only ignored his question and urged, "Just tell me if you want to eat."

"Yeah." He gazed at her with his dark eyes. "I'm not a picky eater at all. I can eat anything."

Is that supposed to sound believable? she thought to herself.

She opened the refrigerator and saw that there were no ingredients that could be used. Fortunately, she still had a

few boxes of pasta that she had bulk-bought last time to save trouble.

I'll cook pasta then.

As she was filling a pot with water, she happened to catch sight of her luggage in the living room. "Aidan, help me

keep an eye out on the pot. Call me when the water starts to boil."

Aidan swiftly hummed in reply. Hearing his response, she turned her head in his direction, only to see that he was

on the phone.

It was probably a work-related call, but she was sure it wouldn't be a problem for him to talk on the phone while

watching the water.

She opened the suitcase and squatted on the floor to take out the clothes inside. Noticing how they were soaked in

the smell of smoke, she carried them in her arms and put the clothes in the washing machine.

She only returned to the living room after pouring laundry detergent and turning on the machine.

Aidan was standing in the kitchen while wearing a white shirt and black pants with the buttons at his collar left

undone. With one hand in his pants pocket and the other holding his phone, he continued to talk casually into the

phone while occasionally glancing at the pot.

When he saw that the water had started boiling, he slipped out the hand in his pocket and lowered the temperature

of the induction hob.

His conversation on the phone never ceased throughout the entire process.

Somehow, he managed to make something so trivial look natural.

Life suddenly felt miraculous to Leanna in this instant.

Aidan was the kind of person whom anyone would think was an arrogant man when they saw him for the first time.

It was as if he was a warmthless person everyone feared approaching.

But contrary to his cold appearance, one would find out after getting to know him that he had a potty mouth, and

he treated everyone equally. Anyone who stepped on his toe was bound to experience his sass.

Before Underwood Lane, Leanna always thought that Aidan was a superior being who looked down on everyone

and everything else. To her surprise, he got along well with the neighbors at Underwood Lane.

Despite his expressionless face, everyone liked him,

Leanna remembered him saying that he, too, grew up in such an environment.

In that instant, she had a feeling that Aidan was not born cold-blooded and ruthless. According to Naomi, he was

sharp-tongued since he was young. However, he had to bare his fangs to protect himself, growing up with the ogre-

like Pearson Family.

Then little by little, he became the now-feared president of Pearson Group.

It seemed like life was a b*tch to everyone, in one way or another.

Just when Leanna was lost in thought, the person who was standing in the kitchen had already finished his call and

was walking up to her. When he met her gaze, he smilingly teased, "Am I that good-looking?"

She snapped back to reality and, while grinning, let out a humorless laugh, "Are you only realizing today that you

look better than the average person, President Pearson?" She threw those words right back at him.

Before he could speak, she walked past him and cooked the pasta in the pot after she opened the pasta box on the

marble countertop.

The smile in the man's eyes deepened as he looked at the back of her torso.

After she made the pasta and brought it out, she realized that he was no longer in the living room, and there was

the sound of water in the bathroom.

What a slowpoke, she thought before setting their plates on the dining table and getting two glasses of water.

Sitting there with nothing to do, she took out her phone and gave Zoe a call after carefully considering it.

"Zoe? Are you sleeping already?" she asked right after the call got through.

"Not yet. I'm watching the news. That devil Lloyd—I mean, Leroy—has finally shown his true colors! Tonight has

seriously been such an exciting night. If I had known all this would happen, I should have gone and joined in the

fun!"

"Fun?" Leanna chuckled. "More like f*ckery."

After a slight pause, she continued, "What about Daniel? Is he with you?"

Speaking of this, Zoe immediately started pouting. "He is not. He probably won't come to me anymore."

"Huh? What happened?"

"I haven't told you this because I didn't want you to worry. Alas! But now that everything's come to an end, I'm sure

it doesn't matter anymore. Remember how Daniel pursued me back then? It was all an act. Llo—Leroy had

someone tail Daniel back then, and since Daniel didn't want to cause you any trouble, he claimed that he was

interested in me. That was also why he moved next to our studio."

"Zoe…" Leanna frowned, not expecting things to take such a turn.

"It's alright. You don't have to feel sorry. So many things have happened recently, but I couldn't help you with

anything. This is both the least and the most I can do for you." Zoe added, "Anyway, that's how things are. Daniel

and I were just acting. Now that Leroy no longer has eyes on us, our little play has come to an end."

Leanna's lips parted, but no word came out until a long minute had passed. "I'm sorry, Zoe."

"I told you not to say that to me. Ah, Mom's calling. I'm hanging up. Let's talk at the studio if there's anything else."

"Sure."

After the call ended, Leanna quietly held onto her phone before she decided to give Daniel a call.

Daniel only picked up right before Leanna reached his voicemail box. "Is something the matter, Miss McKinney?"

Hearing the background noise from his end, she asked, "Are you outside?"

"Yes. I'm still looking for Leroy Crossley after he escaped."

They had expected Leroy to escape on his helicopter, and so Daniel had been waiting there with some other men.

However, that old fox jumped out of the car halfway before he reached the helipad. He was a truly cunning man.

"Don't you worry, Miss McKinney. We will definitely find him." He gave her his word, reassuring her.

"Thanks, Daniel."

It wasn't the right time to ask about anything else. I'll ask him about the rest at the studio tomorrow.

She didn't take up more of his time and swiftly hung up. Aidan happened to come out of the shower right about

then.

Combing his fingers through the strands of his wet, raven hair, he asked, "Who were you talking to?"

"Daniel. He said he's hunting Leroy down."

Aidan took a seat across from Leanna. "It's a waste of time. Leroy must have made sufficient preparations for him

to escape mid-drive. How can we easily get him when he's probably hiding somewhere impossible for us to find?"

Leanna only spoke again after some time had passed. "Do you know who else is there with Daniel other than

Elijah?"
