Chapter 308

Leanna’s eyes flickered as she looked away, cleared her throat, and calmly remarked, “I just didn’t expect Louis’ clothes to fit quite well on you.”

“Really? But I feel they are a little tight.”

Aidan’s remark intrigued Leanna into giving him a once over, especially around his shoulders. “Where is it tight? I think it fits just right.”

“The pants,” Aidan quipped nonchalantly.

Leanna glared at him. What the hell?!

Leanna went to her room with a sniff and returned with pajamas. Since Aidan’s hair was almost dry, she didn’t hesitate to kick him out of the bathroom and locked the door. Then, when she was absolutely certain that he couldn’t get in, did she finally take a shower.

Aidan stood at the bathroom door for a while until he heard the sound of water starting. He coughed with one hand against his lips, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.

At this moment, there were another series of knocks on the door.

Aidan’s expression gradually became solemn because he had a good guess as to who was behind that door. Finally, he placed the glass down with a clink and walked to the door.

Daniel, who was standing outside the door with the bottle of olive oil, donned a stiff yet polite smile on his face. “Oh, hello, Mr. Pearson. You haven’t left.”

Aidan leaned against the door and sneered. “Yes. Is my presence bothering you?”

“No, of course not. I mean well. After all, Miss McKinney is my neighbor. I’m just keeping an eye on her safety, that’s all.”

Aidan huffed impatiently. “If you have something to say, just say it.”

“I—” Daniel looked at the bottle of olive oil in his hand and handed it to Aidan. “I’m here to return this.”

When Aidan reached out to take it, Daniel suddenly retracted the bottle and said, “Where is Miss McKinney? Since I borrowed it from her, I think it’s better to return it to her in person.”

“She’s busy.” Aidan looked at him expressionlessly, his gaze clear and cold.
