I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 180

Chapter 180 Doesn’t Seem Like He’d Give Up Five minutes later, Jonathan stopped the car next to Leanna and Aidan, thereafter getting out of the car quickly to open the door to the backseat. After Aidan helped Leanna in, he went around the car and got in from the other side. When Jonathan was about to type in the address on the GPS, he suddenly thought of what happened last time, and he coughed and called out in a low voice, “Miss McKinney?” She only indifferently told him an address before she leaned into the corner of the seat and shut her eyes. After a while, she felt a shirt being used to cover her torso.

She neither moved nor spoke to him. Seeing her tilt her body and having her back toward him, Aidan instructed Jonathan to start driving. “Understood,” Jonathan replied. With how silent the car was the entire journey home, Aidan had a feeling that Leanna had really fallen asleep. As he quietly looked at her from the corner of his eye, he suddenly recalled the question she asked him earlier. Even though Little Pea was doing much better than at the beginning, there was still no guarantee that another accident wouldn’t happen again in the future. Aidan would send Little Pea back to Leanna after it was doing better after some time. Still, there was no point in letting her know all about this now. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Leanna must have felt the lingering gaze on her and she, initially like a person who was asleep, reached out a hand from the shirt and tugged it until it was covering her head. Aidan’s lips pressed into a thin line then, and he swiftly looked away. The car came to a stop outside the apartment half an hour later. At last, it was Jonathan who broke the deadly silence in the car. “We are here, Miss McKinney.” The person covered by the shirt moved, and she then peeled the shirt off her as she sat up. Leanna’s voice was very calm when she uttered her thanks. She then made a move to get out of the car. After she opened the car door, Aidan called out from behind. “You are not allowed to go tomorrow,” he demanded. Leanna’s temper immediately flared again when she heard his tone of voice, and she sassed, “I am going anyway!” She forcefully shut the door after throwing that out, and left without giving him another glance. Looking at her retreating figure, Aidan began to gnash his teeth angrily. … Zoe had waited at home for a long time and she was starting to panic when Leanna hadn’t gone home, and

neither did she pick up her phone the whole night. The former was about to head out to look around when the door suddenly opened from outside instead. Zoe hurried over and when she saw it was Leanna, she asked, “Where were you, Nana? Where are your shoes?”

“They weren’t comfortable.” Leanna shook her head and said, “I threw them away.” “And you walked all the way back like this? It is almost snowing outside. You—” “I’m alright. I only walked up like this. I came back by car. I am going to take a shower first, Zoe.” Zoe quickly nodded in reply. “Sure, sure. Off you go. I will make some hot soup for you.” She was in the middle of boiling the soup when she heard a knock on the door. After she turned the fire down, she went to open the door, whereby she saw Daniel standing there. She was caught off-guard at first, but she soon leaned against the door and greeted him. “Bonsoir! So we meet again.” Nodding in acknowledgement, he asked, “I heard from Elijah that you are a friend of his?”

“Uh-huh. Our relationship is pretty good.” She then added, “How did you and him get to know each other?” “Europe.” She took some time to realize that Daniel must have met Elijah back when Elijah used to be a student in Europe. Her smile stayed plastered on her face when she put down her hand as something hit her. “Do you… want to come in and have a seat?” “It’s alright.” Daniel’s eyes swept across the room. He spoke again after a short pause. “You said that you lived with a friend, yeah?” “Yup. Didn’t Elijah mention my friend?” “He did.” And that is why I came to see her. It doesn’t look like she is home, though. Daniel looked away then, and was about to leave when he caught sight of a woman toweling her hair dry walking into the living room. “Zoe, who are you—” Leanna looked over mid-sentence, only to see Daniel at the door. Zoe then began to introduce them. “Nana, this is Elijah’s friend. He is also our neighbor. You and him should have met before.” “Hello,” Leanna politely greeted. Daniel, in turn, gave a small smile and nodded before he said, “It is getting late. I wouldn’t want to continue disturbing your night. I will be leaving now.” “Hey… Should we have a meal together tomorrow?” Zoe asked. He thought about it for a brief moment, and eventually nodded. “Sure.” After Daniel went back to his place, he took a seat on the couch and started lightly tapping his phone on his knee. So that’s Aidan Pearson’s ex-wife. She is gorgeous, just like the rumors say.

But isn’t it a little too crazy for Aidan to break off his engagement with the Crossleys just because of a woman like her? It doesn’t seem like something he would do. Daniel’s ringtone went off after a while. He accepted the call when he saw that it was from Elijah. “Georgina Crossley’s birthday party is next Wednesday. Everything has been arranged,” Elijah informed. “Got it.” Daniel then asked, “Is Aidan Pearson’s ex-wife the reason you forced me back here to do that?” Elijah only hissed, “She has a name.” “Ça va, my bad. I forgot to ask earlier.” Daniel only continued after a moment. “I am sure he will not be happy if he knew that you have gotten close with Aidan’s ex-wife.” “I will tell him someday.” “Whatever floats your boat. It doesn’t matter to me anyway. He will be back soon if things go as planned.” … After closing the door, Zoe said excitedly, “Nana, I asked him out for a bite tomorrow and he agreed! Are you coming?”

Leanna smiled and went to the kitchen to turn down the stove. “You can go ahead. I told Elijah I will eat with him.” Upon hearing this, Zoe immediately dashed toward Leanna and stuck to her like glue. She then sighed. “Oh my, he has finally gotten wiser. The things I told him when we were in the car must have worked!” “What did you tell him?” Leanna turned to look at her. “Huh?” Zoe laughed awkwardly as she tried to move the conversation along. “What could I have told him? It was just a casual chat. Um… I am going to take a bath too. You should go to bed early after drinking the soup. The weather is freaking cold. Catch some beauty sleep so that you will be in good shape tomorrow!”

Zoe then scurried away after that. Smilingly, Leanna only looked away from Zoe as she took some soup from the pot into a bowl. She couldn’t seem to fall asleep the whole night she was in bed. All that came to mind was the words Aidan had told her earlier on. It didn’t make any sense to her how he had suddenly made a 180-degree change. She couldn’t get rid of him no matter how she went off at him. It was like he had turned into a completely different person. Aidan wouldn’t have allowed her to provoke his pride and test his limits if he still had his foul temper from the past. Furthermore, it didn’t seem like he would give up no matter what. The confusing part was that Leanna had no idea what his intentions were. The more she thought about it, the more annoyed and wider awake she became. She eventually

got out of bed and sat in front of the table, where she flipped open her scribbling pad. Her mood only further dampened when she flipped to the torn-out page and saw the uneven marks left behind.
