Chapter 299

Leanna closed her eyes, and it took a few minutes before she felt the space next to her sink down for a moment.

Immediately afterward, a warm man’s body laid next to her.

When Leanna was about to move to the side, Aidan put an arm across her waist and asked in a low voice, “Don’t you feel hot covering yourself with the blanket with so many layers of clothes on?”

“… It’s not hot.” It was a lie.

Leanna was hot and stuffy and could hardly breathe.

Leanna heard the man’s even and steady breathing a moment later.

She turned her head slightly and whispered tentatively, “President Pearson?”

The only response she got was silence.

Looks like he’s really asleep.

She breathed a sigh of relief and carefully pushed his arm away to get out of his embrace.

Then, she sat on the bed and looked at the sofa before shifting her gaze back to the sleeping b*stard. In the end, she gave in.

After taking off her jacket, Leanna laid back down and did her best to keep her distance from Aidan.

Her eyes were wide open. Although she was sleepy earlier, she didn’t feel the slightest bit sleepy right now.

Just when Leanna was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a weight on her waist. Aidan’s arm was once again rested on her waist.
