Chapter 254

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the apartment entrance and Leanna hopped out. When she wanted to walk in, she saw the b*stard’s car parked by the side of the street.

How did he manage to get here before me? she wondered, pouting her lips unwittingly as the door of the Rolls-Royce swung open and the tall, well-built figure of a man appeared before her eyes.

Nonchalantly, Aidan cast her a look. “Why did you leave so fast?”

“To have dinner at home,” she answered with a straight face.

“Well, I haven’t eaten as well. Let’s have dinner together.”

Dumbstruck, she said in annoyance, “Don’t you have a home for yourself?”

Aidan turned around and he paced forward leisurely. “It’s only a home when the place has your family. Otherwise, it’s just a cold house.”

“Are you studying kinship recently, President Pearson?”

Ignoring her, he stood at the entrance to the building and stuck his hand into his pocket. Then, he tilted his head, gesturing for her to open the door.

Taking a deep breath, she took out the access card from her purse, and after the door was opened, he held the door open to let her in first.

“I didn’t know that you had a gentlemanly side to you,” Leanna said.

His eyebrow shot up. “That depends on the recipient.”

A soft snort escaped her mouth, and she walked past him to go in. After stepping out of the elevator, she keyed in the password for the lock and Zoe’s voice boomed from inside when she pushed the door open. “Nana, how was your date with Elijah tonight? Did you—”

Zoe stopped mid sentence when she caught sight of the man behind Leanna.

She chuckled dryly a couple of times and turned around. “Why am I sleepy all of a sudden? I’m going to bed now!”
