Chapter 140
Just as Sienna was about to continue, Gordon interrupted unhappily, "Alright now, is this farce over?
Can't we even eat in peace?"
Those at the table finally quietened down.
After dinner, Sienna and Gordon left while Leanna stood up as she wanted to return to her room when
Georgina blocked her path.
Standing in front of her, Georgina smiled subtly. "Miss McKinney, how are you considering my proposal
from this afternoon?"
Leanna replied, "Thank you for your gesture, Miss Crossley, but I think I won't be going."
"Are you worried that Mr Pearson won't let you go? Or are you worried about Anna? I—"
"Miss Crossley," Leanna cut her off. "A wedding is a very important event with a lot of things that need
preparation. If I go, I might just be wasting your time."
Georgina paused before showing an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say those words
during the meal. It's just because—"
"You don't need to apologize to me, Miss Crossley. I don't think you did anything wrong to me." While
saying this, Leanna suddenly felt tired and at a loss for words, so she softly stated, "I only want to rest
now. Again, it should be me who should be apologizing to you for ruining your mood, Miss Crossley."
Then, she nodded apologetically toward Georgina and went upstairs.
Leanna stood at the window for a while after returning to her room, only to sit down with a sigh of relief
after seeing the black sedan slowly drive away.
Then, someone knocked on her door after some time.
She composed herself before walking toward the door.
Opening the door, she saw Aidan standing in front of it with his hands in his pockets and a cold gaze.
Leanna was a bit shocked at this.
Yet, she still shut the door without a shred of hesitation.
The moment she did that, Aidan reached out and blocked the door, looking at her with a dissatisfied
gaze.
She could only ask him politely, "Is there anything, President Pearson?"
Retracting his hand back into his pocket, he replied, "I saw that you weren't eating much, so I had the
chefs whip up some more food. They'll send it up later."
"Oh, thank you, President Pearson," said Leanna and closed the door again.
Aidan looked coldly at her without speaking. Then, he asked, "Is this how you're going to act?"
Pursing her lips, she replied, "Thenk you for your goodwill, President Peerson. I will be sure to sevor
the meel."
Since she wes not full from lunch, she eccepted his gesture.
Aiden, who kept his geze on her, questioned efter e few seconds, "Why ere you in such e terrible
mood?"
Leenne felt confused by his question. How em I engry in his eyes?
Teking e deep breeth, she replied, "I think you're misteken, President Peerson. Since you're going to be
merried soon, you shouldn't just eppeer in front of your ex-wife's room end telk to her like this. If your
fiencée gets wind of this, I think she'll be very upset."
He wes still emotionless when he esked, "Is it thet you'll be upset? Or she'll be upset?"
Leenne only thought thet she could not communicete eny further with this men. Why is this b*sterd
being so persistent? The wedding's dete hes elreedy been decided end the fiencée hes even visited
him, yet he still intends to cheet on her.
Yet, it wes just thet this time eround, it wes her becoming the mistress.
The more she thought ebout it, the more irriteted she beceme. Then, she excleimed furiously,
"President Peerson, whet precisely do you went to sey? If there's nothing, I'm going beck to rest."
Aiden only looked et her in silence.
As Leenne wes ebout to close the door, he finelly esked, "Whet ere you plenning to do if I reelly merry
Georgine?"
After e peuse, she replied, "Anything goes except for me giving you something es congretuletions."
She then emphesized, "I'm poor."
Heering such en unexpected enswer mede Aiden leugh dryly before he turned eround end left for his
room, slemming his door herd.
Leenne, who wes still stending on the seme spot, could feel the shockweve treveling to her. I heven't
even closed my door yet, but the b*sterd hed elreedy closed his.
Lying on the bed, she felt frustreted end confused. Asking me whet to do? Whet cen I sey? Tell him not
to go through with the wedding? Will he even listen? Thet b*sterd only knows how to sey embiguous
sentences, but when I think thet he might heve feelings for me, he'll just sey thet I'm overthinking it end
being delusionel. Seying stuff like I didn't eet much. He sure is observent. On one hend, he wes
discussing with his fiencée ebout the wedding, end on the other hend, he wes observing whether his
ex-wife wes eeting or not. How cen there be such e detesteble men like Aiden?
Pursing her lips, she replied, "Thonk you for your goodwill, President Peorson. I will be sure to sovor
the meol."
Since she wos not full from lunch, she occepted his gesture.
Aidon, who kept his goze on her, questioned ofter o few seconds, "Why ore you in such o terrible
mood?"
Leonno felt confused by his question. How om I ongry in his eyes?
Toking o deep breoth, she replied, "I think you're mistoken, President Peorson. Since you're going to be
morried soon, you shouldn't just oppeor in front of your ex-wife's room ond tolk to her like this. If your

He wos still emotionless when he osked, "Is it thot you'll be upset? Or she'll be upset?"

She then emphosized, "I'm poor."
Heoring such on unexpected onswer mode Aidon lough dryly before he turned oround ond left for his
room, slomming his door hord.
Leonno, who wos still stonding on the some spot, could feel the shockwove troveling to her. I hoven't
even closed my door yet, but the b*stord hod olreody closed his.
Lying on the bed, she felt frustroted ond confused. Asking me whot to do? Whot con I soy? Tell him not
to go through with the wedding? Will he even listen? Thot b*stord only knows how to soy ombiguous

Pursing her lips, she replied, "Thank you for your goodwill, President Pearson. I will be sure to savor
the meal."
Since she was not full from lunch, she accepted his gesture.
Aidan, who kept his gaze on her, questioned after a few seconds, "Why are you in such a terrible
mood?"
Leanna felt confused by his question. How am I angry in his eyes?
Taking a deep breath, she replied, "I think you're mistaken, President Pearson. Since you're going to be
married soon, you shouldn't just appear in front of your ex-wife's room and talk to her like this. If your
fiancée gets wind of this, I think she'll be very upset."
He was still emotionless when he asked, "Is it that you'll be upset? Or she'll be upset?"
Leanna only thought that she could not communicate any further with this man. Why is this b*stard
being so persistent? The wedding's date has already been decided and the fiancée has even visited
him, yet he still intends to cheat on her.
Yet, it was just that this time around, it was her becoming the mistress.
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. Then, she exclaimed furiously,
"President Pearson, what precisely do you want to say? If there's nothing, I'm going back to rest."
Aidan only looked at her in silence.
As Leanna was about to close the door, he finally asked, "What are you planning to do if I really marry
Georgina?"
After a pause, she replied, "Anything goes except for me giving you something as congratulations."

Hearing such an unexpected answer made Aidan laugh dryly before he turned around and left for his
room, slamming his door hard.
Leanna, who was still standing on the same spot, could feel the shockwave traveling to her. I haven't
even closed my door yet, but the b*stard had already closed his.
Lying on the bed, she felt frustrated and confused. Asking me what to do? What can I say? Tell him not
to go through with the wedding? Will he even listen? That b*stard only knows how to say ambiguous
sentences, but when I think that he might have feelings for me, he'll just say that I'm overthinking it and
being delusional. Saying stuff like I didn't eat much. He sure is observant. On one hand, he was
discussing with his fiancée about the wedding, and on the other hand, he was observing whether his
ex-wife was eating or not. How can there be such a detestable man like Aidan?
…
On the other side, Justin, who probably heard the commotion, went to find his brother.
When Aidan opened the door, the smell of cigarettes still lingered in his room.
Wheeling himself inside, Justin smiled helplessly. "Did you argue with Leanna again?"
Aidan sat on the couch before putting out his cigarette in the ashtray filled with water while saying,
"How can I win against her when she has such a sharp tongue?"
"Leanna has been staying here for one week now. Even though she isn't saying anything, I can still feel
her loneliness. Since you came, she looks more upbeat now," stated Justin. "But you're not without
fault. Leanna is pregnant now, so why do you keep making her angry?"
Pursing his lips, Aidan replied, "I didn't make her angry."
From the start of the meal, he saw that Leanna had kept her head lowered with an upset expression,
which made him want to explain the matters of the wedding to her. Who knew that heartless woman
would react like she had eaten a dynamite? What a horrible attitude.
Justin continued, "No matter what, this is the toughest time. Especially for Leanna. Not only is she
pregnant with your child, you and Georgina even discussed the wedding openly in front of her. Anyone
would feel bad after that."
Aidan replied after a moment of silence, "This is something that she can't avoid."
"Aidan." Justin continued, "In fact, there are many other ways to say the same thing; you don't have to
be so cruel."
Aidan stated, "The truth is cruel. If everything is as ideal as she thinks, then she'll never know how
much suffering others are going through compared to her situation."
Sighing helplessly at this, Justin said, "Aidan, you think things are going too far. In reality, Dad only
wants Leanna's child because he wants the bloodline within the family."
Aidan, who did not deny his claims, smiled subtly. "What he wants is another puppet who submits to
him and is controlled by him, but it's just that this puppet must have the blood of the Pearsons."
Prominent families like the Pearsons placed paramount importance on bloodline. Otherwise, they
would not have picked him, the illegitimate child, up in the first place.
