Chapter 179
Not feeling like going home after coming out of the concert hall, Leanna went on a stroll along the street.
After walking for some time, she came to a small playground.
Most of the people in the playground were children around two to three years old, running and jumping around with innocent and bright smiles on their faces.
Looking at them, Leanna eventually stopped and stood outside the playground, the corners of her lips slowly raised.
After a few minutes, the calm voice of a man rang out from beside her. “Is it fun to watch?”
The smile on her face was gone in an instant as she looked away.
She then replied in an indifferent voice, “You will never know what I am looking at, President Pearson.”
“And how do you know that?” He slid one hand into the pocket of his pants.
“Because you wouldn’t be here making sarcastic remarks if you did.”
Leanna didn’t want to argue with the man any longer, so she turned around and continued walking.
To her surprise, Aidan followed after her rather leisurely.
It felt like Weavside all over again.
Feeling more and more irritated as she walked, Leanna came to an abrupt stop and turned her head to look at him with a cold gaze.
He also stopped the moment she did. With his dark eyes staring intently at her, Aidan raised his eyebrows slightly. “What?” he asked.
“Tell me, President Pearson—why do you keep following me?”
From his past temperament, Leanna had a feeling Aidan was going to say something along the lines of “Is your name written on the road?”, or “Why can’t I walk here?”
Unexpectedly, he only calmly uttered, “You are a gorgeous woman. I am worried that someone with bad intentions will do something to you.”
With that, she fell into a silence that lasted for a whole 30 seconds.
She never dreamed there would come a day when she would hear such words coming out of his mouth.
Wouldn’t he be the one with the illest intentions? Leanna fumed as she went mute.
She could only continue with her walk.
Only a few minutes had passed when Aidan spoke from behind again. “Your face turned red earlier, Leanna McKinney. Were you shy?”
After a short pause, she muttered, “No!” I obviously was shocked, alright?
“Then why were you getting all flushed for?” he asked again.
“I feel warm.”
“How can you feel warm with so little clothes on?”
When she proceeded to ignore him, he asked again, “Did you get all dressed up and made up just to go on a date with Elijah Parker?”
