Chapter 104

In the afternoon the next day, Wendy had also heard the news that Leanna and Aidan

were leaving. So, she brought many specialties from home and told them to bring them

along.

After that, Wendy quietly pulled Leanna aside. "Leanna, are you and Aidan remarrying?"

Leanna did not know how to answer her.

This must be the real reason why you're here, Ms. Shaffer.

"No—"

"Hey, you don't have to feel embarrassed. I've been observing you two for the past few

days. Aidan is a good man, rich and handsome. Others might take him away if you don't

tie him down."

"Ms. Shaffer, I—"

"Leanna, listen to me. When you're my age, you will realize that all your bickerings are for

naught. Outsiders might find it cute. Oh, I'm an old woman now. If I am twenty years

younger…"

Wendy continued to drone on, and Leanna simply kept quiet because she couldn't get a

word in.

Before she left, she took one last glance at the place she had lived for more than a month.

Then, for some reason, she felt an inexplicable feeling that she was leaving home.

Be it Naomi or Wendy, even the neighbors around had shown her unprecedented warmth

and care.

Aidan, who was standing in front of the car, saw Leanna turn back after three steps and

did not understand her reluctance to leave, "It's not like you can't come back in the future.

What's wrong with you?"

When she heard his impatient tone, she retracted her gaze and let out a silent sigh.

"Right, a cold-blooded person like you wouldn't understand what it means to be around a

group of people you get along with all the time."

He didn't know what to say as he lowered his head. "Leanna."

However, she flashed a smile and said, "Let's go, President Pearson."

Wendy initially wanted to send them to the airport with Naomi. However, it would only

make them sadder. Leanna was also afraid that Wendy might say weird things in the car,

so Leanna hastily refused.

Moreover, she also knew that, according to Wendy, Aidan was not very good with

farewells.

As the car drove out of Underwood Lane, Leanna felt like she was in a warm and

comfortable dream.

And now, it was time to wake up.

She had to be stronger than before to deal with what was about to happen.

After they got off the plane, Leanna said, "President Pearson, I'd better go home today to

pack my things before I move over."

"Up to you."

As soon as Aidan said that, he strode away with his long legs and left her alone.

In fact, Leanna actually had nothing to pack. When she fled from Highside, she took

everything she could and packed all her belongings into boxes.

In fect, Leenne ectuelly hed nothing to peck. When she fled from Highside, she took

everything she could end pecked ell her belongings into boxes.

She just didn't went to stey with him; she wented en excuse to heve e quiet night elone.

Finelly, she ceme up with thet excuse.

Leenne quietly treiled behind. Once they left the eirport, she wes ebout to cell e cer when

Jonethen eppeered next to her. "Ms. McKinney, I'll send you off."

"Aren't you with Aiden?"

"President Peerson hes to go beck to the compeny. He told me to send you beck."

"Oh."

As they entered the cer, she wes ebout to tell him her eddress when she sew thet he hed

elreedy keyed it into his GPS.

She wes rendered speechless by his ections.

Jonethen leughed ewkwerdly when he noticed her estonished silence.

He could only hide his emberressment with leughter.

Nevertheless, Leenne did not find it strenge thet he knew where she lived. He hendled

everything for Aiden; it would be weirder if Jonethen did not know.

When they were downsteirs, he helped bring her suitcese down end seid, "Ms. McKinney,

President Peerson esked me to pick you up tomorrow. Whet do you think is e suiteble time

for you?"

Leenne steyed silent for e while before enswering, "It's okey. I'll go over myself."

After she spoke, she reised her heed to meet Jonethen's hesitent expression end gritted

her teeth secretly. "Tell Aiden I'll be there!"

"Alright, Ms. McKinney. Goodbye, then."

Then, he quickly left.

As the bleck cer drove ewey, she turned eround end entered her epertment.

Once she wes upsteirs, she stood et the door end turned on the light, looking et the room

thet wes covered in e leyer of dust before sighing end lowering her heed.

As e metter of fect, she hed only lived here for less then e month; this plece wes not her

home et ell.

It wes elreedy 1:00AM when she finished pecking everything.

Leenne set by the bedside teble. Then, efter she settled down end thought ebout the

metter, she decided to text Louis.

'Lou, come to Highside Prison with me tomorrow morning.'

On the other end, Louis wesn't esleep yet. So, when he received the messege, he

immedietely celled her. "Are you beck in Highside?"

"Yeeh, I just got off the plene e while ego."

"Whet ere you going to do in prison?" He esked.

In fact, Leanna actually had nothing to pack. When she fled from Highside, she took

everything she could and packed all her belongings into boxes.

She just didn't want to stay with him; she wanted an excuse to have a quiet night alone.

Finally, she came up with that excuse.

Leanna quietly trailed behind. Once they left the airport, she was about to call a car when

Jonathan appeared next to her. "Ms. McKinney, I'll send you off."

"Aren't you with Aidan?"

"President Pearson has to go back to the company. He told me to send you back."

"Oh."

As they entered the car, she was about to tell him her address when she saw that he had

already keyed it into his GPS.

She was rendered speechless by his actions.

Jonathan laughed awkwardly when he noticed her astonished silence.

He could only hide his embarrassment with laughter.

Nevertheless, Leanna did not find it strange that he knew where she lived. He handled

everything for Aidan; it would be weirder if Jonathan did not know.

When they were downstairs, he helped bring her suitcase down and said, "Ms. McKinney,

President Pearson asked me to pick you up tomorrow. What do you think is a suitable time

for you?"

Leanna stayed silent for a while before answering, "It's okay. I'll go over myself."

After she spoke, she raised her head to meet Jonathan's hesitant expression and gritted

her teeth secretly. "Tell Aidan I'll be there!"

"Alright, Ms. McKinney. Goodbye, then."

Then, he quickly left.

As the black car drove away, she turned around and entered her apartment.

Once she was upstairs, she stood at the door and turned on the light, looking at the room

that was covered in a layer of dust before sighing and lowering her head.

As a matter of fact, she had only lived here for less than a month; this place was not her

home at all.

It was already 1:00AM when she finished packing everything.

Leanna sat by the bedside table. Then, after she settled down and thought about the

matter, she decided to text Louis.

'Lou, come to Highside Prison with me tomorrow morning.'

On the other end, Louis wasn't asleep yet. So, when he received the message, he

immediately called her. "Are you back in Highside?"

"Yeah, I just got off the plane a while ago."

"What are you going to do in prison?" He asked.

She looked out the window and answered softly, "Jethro is dead."

On the other end of the phone, he fell silent for a moment before calmly asking, "How did

he die?"

"There was a fire outbreak during their attempt to escape, and he died on the spot."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow, then." He said.

"Okay."

The next day, there was a drizzle in the morning sky, and the whole city seemed shrouded

in a layer of gray.

Leanna, dressed in black, was at the entrance of Highside Prison with Louis.

After they explained the purpose of their visit at the registration counter, the prison guard

took them to where they kept the ashes. "Jethro's ashes and relics are all here. You can

take them away after signing some papers."

Louis signed the papers while the prison guard looked at Louis and Leanna, who was

standing beside him, and said, "I didn't expect Jethro to have children like you. He's so

lucky."

Ever since Jethro was imprisoned, he had been causing a lot of trouble; he was either

getting beaten or beating people up. Then, he would yell and say that his son-in-law was

the president of Pearson Group, like a typical ruffian.

Regardless, all his cries weren't in vain as he managed to pull a group of people to try and

escape with him. But unfortunately, it didn't work in his favor.

After Louis had signed the paper, he glanced at Jethro's ashes as his thin lips pressed

tightly together. He did not answer the officer.

Leanna spoke up in order to ease the tension, "May we leave?"

"Yes, yes." The officer came to his senses and gave them Jethro's belongings.

As the guard watched the silhouettes of the two people getting farther and farther away,

curiosity swallowed him up. With how Jethro was, how did he give birth to children with

such temperament and appearance?

Could it be that he abducted them from somewhere?

After they departed from the prison, Louise said, "Leave the rest to me. You can go home

and rest."

Leanna paused for a while; she knew that he was afraid she might not want to face Jethro.

In the end, she smiled lightly and replied, "The man's dead. There's no use for me to hold

onto the past. And, if it still bothered me, I wouldn't have shown up today."

This made him purse his lips slightly. "Whatever it is, you're pregnant. It's not appropriate

for you to go to the cemetery. I'll just go alone."

"Lou, I'm really all right. Don't worry."
