I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 272

When Leanna woke up from her nap, she noticed her dizziness had worsened. She patted her head, put on her clothes, and got out of bed.

In the living room, Zoe was ready to go. "Nana, do you want to eat something? Or should we just eat out?"

Leanna replied, "I want to have some meat. Let's have a barbecue after the movie."

"Sure. I'm craving for it too."

"Let me wash up, and then we'll leave."

The cinema was crowded in the afternoon.

When Leanna returned from picking up the tickets, she noticed Zoe holding three bottles of Coke, so she inquired, "Why did you buy so much? Isn't Louis not coming?"

Zoe chuckled. "I'm a little thirsty. One bottle might not be enough."

"What if you can't have more food after drinking all that?"

"Don't worry; there are still a few hours left. Besides, I'll be fine after going to the bathroom twice." Zoe looked at the time and said, "Let's go. The movie is about to start."

Leanna nodded. "Sure."

When they arrived at the screening room, Leanna had barely sat down when Zoe pulled her up. "Erm... Nana, the person in front of me is too tall. I can't see the screen. Can you take a seat outside?"

"Sure."

Leanna sat down and looked around. She saw that, except for the seat on her right, the entire cinema was extremely crowded. Later, the lights in the cinema began to dim, and movie trailers began to play on the big screen. Soon, the movie started.

Leanna took a sip of Coke and placed it aside. As she retracted her hand, she accidentally bumped into something. The vacant seat beside her earlier was suddenly occupied. Raising her head subconsciously, she was stunned to see who it was.

Aidan met her gaze and uttered in a very low voice, "Why are you looking at me? Watch the movie."

Leanna was at a loss for words. After awkwardly withdrawing her gaze, she glanced at Zoe. No wonder Zoe was behaving so strangely today. It turned out that she had planned it all out. Seemingly aware of her gaze, Zoe didn't dare to look at her, so she merely took a sip of Coke and pretended to get away with it. Leanna took a shallow breath and looked at the screen in front of her again.

Fine. That b*stard wasn't doing anything outrageous, so she could just treat him like a stranger and watch the movie.

Two hours passed quickly, and after the movie ended, everyone started to leave the hall.

Just then, Zoe covered her stomach and said, "Nana, I need to go to the toilet now. I'll go first and wait for you outside..."

She made an excuse to escape, but Leanna stopped her.

Leanna smiled. "I'll come with you."

Aidan sat in his seat and clasped his slender fingers together. "If you leave now, you will have to queue for at least ten minutes."

She replied, "Then, we'll go to the one in the shopping mall next door. If there's…" nothing else, you may leave first.

Before she could finish her sentence, he stood up and urged, "Come with me."

After coming out of the washroom, Zoe commented while washing her hands, "I really didn't expect Pearson Group to own a movie theater. I wonder what other industries have to do with Pearson Group."

Leanna responded, "Pearson Group has always been involved in the entertainment industry. So, it's not surprising that they have a movie theater under them, but there is one thing that I am quite surprised by."

"What is it?" asked Zoe naturally.

Leanna pulled a piece of tissue, wiped her hands, and turned to look at her. "Why is Aidan here?"

"Haha," the stunned Zoe probably didn't expect her to suddenly interrogate her, so she laughed dryly and clapped her hands again. "Well, it must be fate! Look at how wonderful fate is. In such a big city, with so many cinemas, screening halls, and seats in the screening hall, he sat next to you! This must be heaven's will!"

Leanna looked at her quietly to see how far she could make it up.

With a guilty conscience, Zoe touched her nose. "Fine. I just felt bad after eating such a sumptuous breakfast from him, so I invited him to watch a movie. We should be courteous and grateful, isn't it?"

Leanna was left speechless.

What Zoe said did make sense and led Leanna to almost believing in her. However, Zoe's approach was exactly the same as when she tried to matchmake Leanna and Elijah.

How could Leanna not tell? It was just that she didn't expect Zoe to suddenly matchmake Leanna and Aidan, making the situation unbelievable and unacceptable.

Zoe was a little uncomfortable by her stare, so she coughed, "Speaking of it, we have to thank President Pearson. We would have had to line up outside if he hadn't brought us here."

After speaking, she sighed again, "It's nice to be rich."

Rubbing her brows, Leanna urged, "Let's go."

In the corridor, Aidan was greeted by the cinema's person in charge, who had heard that Aidan had arrived.

While talking to him, Aidan looked sideways and saw Leanna coming out of the washroom, so he said lightly, "I have something up, so I'll have to leave now."

With that, the person in charge greeted, "Goodbye, President Pearson."

Aidan walked up to Leanna and inquired, "Where are we going now?"

Zoe replied, "We're going to eat..."

Leanna interrupted her quickly. "We're not going anywhere. Goodbye, President Pearson. We're going home now."

With that, Leanna yanked Zoe and ran off.

Aidan was speechless. His dark orbs squinted dangerously as he wanted to see how far Leanna could escape from his palm.

After they got out of the cinema, it was dinner time. All of the barbecue restaurants were packed with long queues outside. Fortunately, Zoe made a reservation, so they went in directly.

While looking at the menu, Zoe asked, "Did you call Louis?"

Leanna replied, "I sent him a message when I went out, but he said he'll be having dinner with his friends. We don't have to bother him."

Zoe sighed, "Seems like Louis is all grown up now. He has secrets that he won't tell us anymore."

Hearing that, Leanna pursed her lips and said nothing. To be honest, Leanna wasn't strict with him as long as he didn't do anything dangerous.

Yet, Louis was obviously hiding secrets from her. If she asked him, he would only feel annoyed. Therefore, she could only leave him for now.

This time, the waiter came to take the order. "May I know if it's only the two of you?"

"Yes—"

"There's… three."

The man's voice came from behind.

Leanna was speechless again. How could that b*stard follow them all the way here? Sitting beside her, Aidan took the menu from the waiter naturally.
