Chapter 293

After that night, it was as though Jethro had vanished into thin air. Not only did he not contact Leanna

again, but he didn't even appear in any of the underground casinos.

However, Leanna wasn't worried, for she knew better than anyone that Jethro would come to her again

once he was short of money. It was only a question of when.

Another day at work drew to an end, and Leanna exited the office after a stretch only to find that Aidan

had already arrived some time ago and was looking through a document on the couch.

She couldn't help but smile at the sight as she stood in the doorway.

In moments like this, Leanna would always think the man was a sight to behold; too bad he had a

mouth, though.

Aidan, on the other hand, didn't seem to have noticed someone was approaching as his head was still

buried in the document in his hands.

Seeing how focused he was, Leanna decided not to bother him but went to sort things out at the front

desk.

These days, Aidan would come and pick her up every night to have dinner before sending her home.

Zoe had to wait for her in the beginning, but with time, she gave up and went home as soon as she

could. She wasn't having any of their PDA.

It wasn't until Aidan heard noises that he looked toward Leanna. "You done?"

"Yeah." She nodded and grabbed the keys. "Let's go."

Later, when they arrived at Leanna's after dinner, the young woman had just unbuckled her seatbelt

and was about to get out of the car when Aidan grabbed her wrist with a frown. "Do you have to go

back?"

"Why are you at it again?"

This had become a routine conversation of theirs every night.

"I don't think our relationship should stop here. It's time we take a step forward," Aidan urged.

Leanna fell silent for a second before exasperating, "Consider yourself lucky that I've not asked for a

step back, and yet you want to move forward?"

Is this b*stard even aware of how sharp-tongued he is? She swore that she was likely the only person

in this world who could tolerate him.

However, Aidan didn't share the same sentiment. "Enlighten me then. Have I not served you well in

bed? Have I done anything that deserves a step back?" he asked with a darkened gaze while brushing

his finger against her soft lips gently.

Despite knowing nothing good ever came out of his mouth, Leanna still couldn't help blushing when

she was suddenly faced with such dirty talk.

"Hm?" Aidan pressed on when she didn't answer.

"You…"

Meanwhile, he shifted his gaze to her lips and continued, "This is as far as I can go. You don't give me

chances to do anything else."

"Shut up!" Leanna had had more than enough.

He smirked in response and held her by the neck to bring her in for a kiss, finally shutting her up.

The air in the car was too thin, so Leanna began panting very quickly. She nudged at his chest with

displeasure, at which Aidan obliged and let her go. "Sated?" His deep, magnetic voice became hoarse

from the kiss.

However, Leanna had already used all the cuss words in her vocabulary on him.

"Move out within one week, or I'll move in," he demanded while fixing her hair for her.

"Do you have to do this?"

"Well, I can't do anything else without your permission, can I?"

Exasperated, she opened the door and left without looking back. Son of a b*stard! All you ever think of

is such sh*t!

Zoe was lying on the couch watching reality TV when Leanna entered. "Nana, you have to take a look

at this. This is really hilarious," she urged with a smile when she saw Leanna.

"You go ahead. I'm going to take a shower."

"Sure, you go ahead."

After Leanna was done showering, she blew her hair damp before slowly sitting down next to Zoe while

hugging a cushion.

"Would you like some fruit, Zoe?" Leanna asked tentatively after a while.

"I've already eaten," answered Zoe. "Do you want to?"

"I don't." Leanna smiled wryly and said after a pause, "By the way, what do you want for breakfast

tomorrow? I want to make preparations."

"Huh? I'm good with anything. I like whatever you make anyway. I swear, living with you is the best

thing that has ever happened to me!"

Leanna fell silent after hearing so and said nothing more.

Zoe thought something didn't feel right, so she pressed the pause button on the remote and turned to

Leanna. "Is there something you want to tell me, Nana?"

"Huh, what? No. I was just asking." While speaking, Leanna stood up. "I, um, I'll go and blow my hair

again. It's still a little damp. Rest early, alright?"

Zoe nodded. "Hold on. Let me go to the toilet first."

"Go on."

After Zoe went to the bathroom, Leanna went to the balcony to get some fresh air.

This b*stard has given me another puzzle of the century to solve…

Zoe had been by her side the entire time when she had just gotten the divorce. What kind of friend

would it make her if she abandoned Zoe right away after getting back together with Aidan?

She believed Aidan wasn't just saying it either. He could very well do something like that.

Ugh, this is infuriating!

Later, Leanna had just returned to her room when she got a call from the person she had asked to help

look into the pocket watch factory.

The caller said they had already contacted the person in charge and scheduled an appointment to

meet them in the afternoon the next day.

After the call ended, Leanna received the time and date of the rendezvous and the person in charge's

contact.

She looked out the window as she lay in bed, having trouble sleeping.

She had a gut feeling that she would be able to get a lead tomorrow, but it probably wasn't a good

thing.

It seemed that anything that had to do with the Crossleys was never good.

The uproar from last time had subsided by now, and the incident fizzled out with no further prosecution

after the Crossleys dealt with a few senior managers.

Actually, everyone knew the senior managers didn't have that much power. The problem itself lay in the

core of Crossley Group.

Lloyd came to Leanna's mind. It was tough to associate him, a gentlemanly middle-aged man, with

nefarious guys.

But she could tell from the Pearsons' stance that those people never regarded anyone but themselves

as human. To them, everyone else was just tools.

The following morning, when Zoe and Leanna were on their way to the studio, Zoe scrolled through her

phone while saying, "That reminds me. Nana, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Leanna nodded.

"I'm looking around for a new place. I'll move out once I find the right one," Zoe disclosed, rendering

Leanna stumped. "What? Why so sudden? Zoe, I…"

Zoe giggled at her and explained, "Relax. It's not because of you. I bumped into Daniel again at the

elevator and it was pretty awkward. Then, I thought that since you and that b—President Pearson have

reconciled, you'll be moving out sooner or later, so why don't we take this chance to move out

together? Who knows, we might even be able to rent a place in the same community."

To that, Leanna nodded. "True that. Alright, let's check some places out over the weekend."
