The b*stard isn't here, and there's nobody to bother me. I should be over the moon, but for some reason, it feels like something is missing instead.

Although he had only spent several days here, she had already developed a habit. A terrible habit that she should definitely break, yes.

She sat there, leaning against the bed frame for some time. In the end, she picked up her phone again and sent a message to Aidan asking whether he was busy.

Despite waiting for twenty minutes, Aidan did not reply to her message. It would seem that he was truly swamped with work.

So, she placed her phone on her bedside table, turned off the lights, and lay back on the bed. Then, she closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep. After all, she was going to visit the Crossley Family tomorrow. But there was no doubt that it would be an uphill battle tomorrow.

A long time passed. Her breathing finally slowed down, and she fell asleep.

She was deeply asleep when she felt a sudden chill behind her. Someone had pressed against her back and pulled her into an embrace. At the same time, a familiar scent filled her nose.

In her half-asleep state, she mumbled vaguely, "Didn't you say that you were not coming back?"

The man's voice was low. "You missed me." So, I came back.

She did not respond to his words. In any case, she was so sleepy that she did not have the strength to respond.

When she fell asleep again, Aidan kissed her on the lips once more.

The urgent news he received tonight was that the Crossley Group had successfully signed a contract with William. The project had also been officially handed over to William.

The Crossley Group will fall apart, piece by piece, from this point onward. Now, we will just have to see how long it will take for Lloyd to notice his downfall.

…

Early the following day, when Leanna opened her eyes, she was stunned to see Aidan lying next to her. She had thought that it was a dream.

She slowly got out of bed and made breakfast, careful not to wake him up. She was just about to wake him up when he walked out of the bedroom.

Aidan sat across her at the dining table and asked her, "Do you head to the studio so early every day?"

She replied, "Not really. Zoe went home, so there are many things in the shop that I have to handle personally. That's why I'm a little busier than usual, but…" After a long pause, she finally finished her sentence. "I probably shouldn't go to the studio today."

He asked gently, "Are you going to visit the Crossley Family?"

She nodded lightly. "I can't drag this on any longer."

Over the past two days, she had given herself a chance to relax. Well, one could also say that she was buying time for herself to prepare.

No matter how long it took, the outside world would gradually stop paying attention to this matter as long as she did not move into the Crossley Residence.

He said, "I'll send you there after breakfast."

She parted her lips to say something. Although she had originally planned to refuse his offer, she recalled having already encountered Georgina at the race course yesterday. Even if they weren't a couple, Georgina would undoubtedly hold a grudge against her.

"Okay."

Since she had already decided to live in the Crossley Residence, she would have to give up her lease on this place. She would need to move all her essential necessities and clothes that she would be using in the near future.

She packed two suitcases. Aside from these two suitcases, she still had many winter and summer outfits in her wardrobe. Unfortunately, they could neither be worn at this time nor be brought along with her. Therefore, she needed to figure out where to store them.

When he saw her standing in the bedroom with distress painted across her face, he leaned against the door and raised his eyebrows. "Why don't you leave them at my place?"

She said nothing for a moment, then refused his offer without hesitation. "Thanks, but there's no need for that."

In the worst case, I'll just hire two more movers to bring my things along when Zoe moves out.

After she finished packing her things, she had only just walked to the door when he took the suitcase from her. "Let's go."

Along the way, Leanna kept the car windows open and quietly enjoyed the wind blowing against her face.

She could not describe her current emotions.

Aidan glanced at her sideways. "It's not too late to regret now."

"No." Her hair was slightly disheveled from the wind, so she reached up to tidy her hair. "You're right. The truth is often extremely cruel. But, if I do nothing and back down out of fear, then that will truly be a cruel disservice toward those who Lloyd harmed."

Her biological father had died in the explosion because of Lloyd. On the other hand, her mother had gone incognito with her, married Jethro, and died after giving birth to Louis.

Lloyd had been the mastermind behind every tragedy she had experienced.

Even if she could not bring the dead back to life, she could not continue watching as he used somebody else's name to live in this world.

Aidan said, "Leanna McKinney, don't ever forget this. Don't ever force yourself to persist. If there comes a time when you can no longer hold on, you will still have me."

Leanna pursed her lips together, but she couldn't stop the smile that appeared on her face. "Okay."

Forty minutes later, the black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the gates of the Crossley Residence.

Aidan helped her with her luggage. Meanwhile, Leanna glanced at the building. "Here is far enough. I'll walk the rest of the way myself."

"The rest of the way will be very difficult."

She laughed and said resolutely, "Even if it's hard, I will eventually reach the end."

He smiled and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. His thin lips pressed against her forehead. "Protect yourself well. You can call me anytime if something comes up."

She nodded. "Okay."

"Go on. I'll watch you."

She gripped the handle of her suitcase and took a deep breath. Then, she walked toward the gates of the Crossley Residence. The two ornately-carved gates slowly opened, but not a single person was in sight.

As she stared at the long road in front of her, she felt as though she could not see the end of it.

Thus, she turned back and gazed at the man silently waiting. He stood beside his car with deep and serene black eyes. It seemed as though he would catch her at any time if she were to take a step backward.

She waved at him. "I'm going. You should leave."

The corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile, but he nodded lightly.

Then, she tugged her two suitcases and moved forward step by step. Once she went down this road, there was no turning back anymore.

After she had walked for nearly twenty minutes, she finally saw several buildings.

There was a large garden located in the middle of the buildings.

Several servants were pruning the flowers and plants inside the garden. It seemed as though they had received an order in advance as they all turned a blind eye to her presence.

She dragged her suitcases with her and walked toward the most prominent building. If her guess was correct, then that was the main building.

Sure enough, as soon as she walked through the door, she saw Lloyd and Georgina having breakfast together.

Leanna called out softly, "Mr. Crossley."

Lloyd looked over. "When did you arrive? Why didn't you ask the servants to guide you in?"

She smiled slightly, knowing that his words were nothing more than an insincere courtesy. Nevertheless, she did not back down. "I didn't see anybody else along the way, so I thought everybody generally came in alone."
