Chapter 241

Leanna put the baby down in the crib before asking him to leave. “You should leave, President Pearson. I’m going to sleep.”

Aidan gazed at her as he slowly drawled out the words, “You can only call it resting if it’s one person. It’s called sleeping only when there are two people. Since you put it that way, does that mean you want me to sleep with you?”

What the f*ck is he talking about? she thought to herself.

Just as she was about to kick him out, her phone that was in the bag rang.

Afraid that it would wake the baby up, she rushed to pick it up.

She took a look at the caller ID. Then, she glanced at the man sitting on the couch before walking into the bathroom.

She picked up the call as soon as she was in the bathroom, but right before the bathroom door shut, she called out Elijah’s name and it didn’t go unnoticed by Aidan.

He put down the book in his hands as his lips pressed into a thin line.

In the bathroom, Leanna went over to the window and pushed it open after she had shut the door while asking, “What’s up?”

Elijah’s voice came from the other end of the line. “I heard Zoe say you’ve gone to Weavside. How is it?”

She smiled gently. “It’s pretty nice. The pace here is slower than at Highside. So, it’s relaxing.”

“That sounds nice. It makes me want to visit that place too.” He paused for a while before revealing his intention with the call. “Leanna, how… long more before your return trip?”

“Probably two or three days’ time.”

He continued to ask, “They’re setting up a class reunion this weekend. Would you go?”

Leanna answered, “I’ll see when the time comes, but didn’t we just have a reunion some time ago? Why another reunion so soon?”

“It was only a few of us the last time. This time it’s for the whole class. If you’re not going, I’m not going as well.”

Hearing his stance, Leanna felt pressured and thought about it before answering, “I’ll ask Zoe first and see what she says.”
