Chapter 238

For the entire afternoon, Naomi and Wendy did not return.

Meanwhile, Leanna was slowly getting the hang of things. She was not as clueless as she used to be during the day when it came to taking care of the baby.

In actuality, the baby slept most of the time. When he woke up, Leanna would either grab a toy and play with him, or get Aidan to make some milk.

Although the b*stard kept a cold expression throughout—albeit full of reluctance—he did not decline for some reason.

The afternoon sunlight shone on his face, and for a dazed moment, Leanna thought she was seeing things.

As if they were a family of three and everything was perfectly natural…

Sensing her gaze, Aidan looked at her. “What’s wrong?”

Leanna pursed her lips and rose to her feet. “Please help me take care of the baby, President Pearson. I’m going out for a bit.”

With that, she did not even wait for his approval before hastily walking out of the yard.

She walked along the street for a few minutes, then came upon the spot where she and Aidan used to cruise around the lake.

She stood under the shade of a tree as she gazed in the distance. Her expression was calm, but her thoughts were unfathomable.

Some time later, footsteps resounded behind her before the slender upright figure stood next to her.

Leanna took a deep breath. “Why are you here, President Pearson? You’re supposed to look after the baby.”

“He’s sleeping, so there’s not much to do. He can’t run anyway.” Aidan glanced sideways at her. “If I don’t come out, you’re the one who’s going to run away.”

“I just came out for some fresh air.” She lowered her gaze.

With that, she looked at Aidan again. “President Pearson, can you leave me alone for a bit? I don’t want to see you right now.”

He responded indifferently, “When have you ever wanted to see me?”

Leanna fell silent.

He had a point, but she was feeling irritable and sullen right now. Just the mere sight of him irritated her.
