Chapter 227

Aidan answered slowly and calmly, “No. I didn’t do this.”

Leanna chortled. She didn’t believe him at all. She approached the boulders and shone her flashlight around to look for a way out.

She ignored him. Leanna took her heels off and tried to climb over the boulders.

As Aidan watched her climb, he poked his teeth with his tongue and pinched his nose before going ahead.

She snarkily retorted, “And I have no idea how you can do something like this without feeling any shame.”
