Chapter 43 It’s… Him? The next day after getting her house, Leanna moved into her rented place with
whatever little belongings she had. Zoe and Louis didn’t allow her to do the cleaning, as they told her to
sit and take a rest. Plopped on the couch, she ordered some afternoon snacks for them while thinking
that she was actually kind… With such a kind godmother and uncle, the baby will receive very good
care once it’s born.
With that thought in mind, she lowered her head and placed her hand softly on her abdomen. She
wasn’t sure if she had gained weight recently or the baby was growing, but her belly was slightly
swollen. As Zoe still had a shoot in the afternoon, she could only ask for a few hours away from work
for the day. Before leaving, she bought a bunch of daily necessities for Leanna. “Nana, I can’t take care
of you after this, so you must take good care of yourself. Don’t you ever starve yourself.” Coming out of
the kitchen, Louis said, “I’ll take care of my sister.” With a giggle, Leanna said, “That’s enough, both of
you. I’m not a child, so don’t worry about me.”
“You’re not a child, but you have a baby inside,” Zoe said, going closer to her belly. “Little baby, be
good and don’t give your mommy a hard time. Otherwise, I’ll smack your little butt once you’re born.”
Soon after she had left, Leanna said to Louis, “You should get going as well. I’ll take care of the rest
myself.” “No,” he answered. “I’ll stay with you for a few days and will leave after you’ve familiarized
yourself with the surroundings.” A chuckle escaped her lips. “Did you really take me for a child? I’m
your sister.
” His face was very earnest when he answered, “I’m only staying for a few days so that the others are
aware that there’s a man in your house and won’t bully you because you’re a girl living alone.” The
smile on her face stiffened, and she didn’t turn him down anymore. “I’ll buy a single bed for you, then.

It’s more convenient for your visits afterward.” “It’s okay. I’ll just sleep on the couch,” he said, taking out
a bag of trash. “I’m going home to pack some clothes. What would you like to eat? I’ll buy it on the way
back.” … A month later. “I’m so sorry to trouble you, Gina since I’m asking you to accompany me every
time.” Holding Carly’s arm, Georgina smiled softly and said, “Carly, you don’t need to be courteous with
me.
I have nothing to do at home, anyway, and I can take a breather outside when I’m out with you.” Carly
sighed. “Because of the marriage with the Pearsons, Zayn has been in an argument with the rest of the
family recently. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have agreed to this marriage at that time.
Look at the situation now, the Pearsons despise us and Zayn is unhappy as well. Neither side is
happy.” “You’ve got it wrong, Carly. Aidan doesn’t have anything against you guys; he’s just—”
Speaking about Aidan, Carly lowered her voice and posed the following question. “I’ve been wanting to
ask you something, Gina. I’ve heard rumors that Aidan Pearson is not Mrs. Pearson’s child, but rather
the illegitimate son of Gordon Pearson and an outsider.
Since you frequently visited Pearson Family Estate when you were younger, is this true?” Aidan was
seven when he was brought back to the Pearson Family, and they told others that Aidan had been
recuperating abroad because he was unhealthy since he was born. In addition, Gordon had used some
of his influence, and nobody spoke about this anymore after that. At the same time, when Aidan was
brought back to the Pearson Family, Justin was involved in a car accident that left him crippled on both
legs. As a result, Justin was unable to be the successor to the Pearson Group. All this happened within
two months.
If everything before this was just groundless accusations, then Carly had all the reason to have doubts
after witnessing the brutal situation at the Pearsons’ the last time. Casting her an apologetic smile,
Georgina answered, “I haven’t heard about this. You’re thinking too much, Carly. Actually, it makes
sense why Aidan doesn’t agree to the marriage between Zayn and Anna. Think about it, Anna is
infamous for being bossy and arrogant. If she doesn’t restrain herself after she marries Zayn and
becomes more brazen instead, there will be problems for two families and two companies at that time.
Aidan has always hated trouble. In addition, Anna is only his cousin, and he definitely doesn’t want to
take care of her mess for her.” Thinking that she has a point, Carly said helplessly, “I don’t like Anna
Pearson that much, either, but my dad thinks that it’s a good opportunity that our families can be tied by
marriage.
He was hopping mad with Aidan’s attitude previously, so I think this matter will just be forgotten in the
end.” Georgina nodded in agreement. “Zayn is an amazing person, and there must be countless girls
who like him. He’ll definitely find someone more suitable than Anna—” Before she could finish her
sentence, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure at the entrance. “What is it?” Looking away,
she uttered, “I think I saw a… friend.” “A friend?” Following her gaze, Carly only saw unfamiliar faces,
and she asked, “Is your friend here for a maternity check as well?” “What?” “This place is for maternity
checks. How long has your friend been pregnant? Should I introduce my doctor to her?” Shaking her
head, Georgina took her arm and led her out. “It’s alright. I’ve probably mistaken someone else for her.
Let’s go, Carly.” Without a doubt, she had seen it right; the person earlier was Leanna. Even though
she had only seen pictures of Leanna before, she could definitely recognize Leanna’s face. After they
reached the car, she stopped. “Carly, I suddenly remembered something and won’t be going back with
you.” “Okay, but where are you going? I’ll ask my driver to drop you off.” “It’s fine because it’s just
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomewhere nearby.” After saying goodbye to Carly, Georgina returned to the hospital, and when she
reached the obstetrics department, she happened to see Leanna coming out of the gynecologist’s
office. She had the identical obstetrics report folder in her hands as Carly. As Georgina watched
Leanna from the back, she frowned slightly. … In the meantime, Leanna had just left the hospital when
she received a call from Harvey.
A client went to Lux Jewelry and had specifically asked for her because he wanted a set of custom-
designed jewelry. “I’m coming over right now,” she answered. Following the debut of ‘First Love,’ Lux
Jewelry launched a number of new pieces of jewelry, all of which received enormously positive reviews.
Many magazine firms, including well-known jewelry brands, approached Leanna at this time period, but
she turned them all down. Harvey was akin to her lucky star; when she had nothing and needed
recognition the most, he had signed her up despite the risks. So, she wouldn’t leave Lux Jewelry at this
time. Harvey briefly described the scenario to her upon her arrival at Lux Jewelry as they made their
way to the VIP lounge.
“Even though we’ve never accepted custom orders before this, we had planned to develop in various
ways back then when we decided to set up our independent brand. But don’t worry, we’re only
accepting high-quality clients for custom designs.” To put it simply, the advantage of doing this was that
Leanna could open up a market for high-quality clients for herself and the company, and the
remuneration could also be very high. She nodded.
“I’ll do a good job.” At the door of the conference room, Harvey knocked and opened the door. “Mr.
Pearson, our designer is here.” When the person in front of her turned around, the smile on Leanna’s
face turned stiff. What … It’s him?
