Chapter 412

After leaving the private room, Leanna frowned and questioned, “Why do you always give Elijah a hard time?”

After leaving the private room, Leanna frowned and questioned, “Why do you always give Elijah a hard time?”

Aidan slid his hand into his pants pocket and replied nonchalantly, “Why don’t you ask him? Why did he try to hit on you?”

“I-I thought that was all in the past.”

“Then, why does he show up here?”

Leanna parted her lips but was at a loss for words because she knew why Elijah had come, so she responded in a hushed voice, “Anyway, he’s only here for a meal. Moreover, many guests are here today, so it’s not like he’s the only person here.”

When he heard this, Aidan smirked but kept his cold expression as he bent down slightly and leaned closer to her.

“What do you want?” she questioned.

He tilted his head and fixed his gaze on her lips.

She was speechless, and after glancing around, she whispered, “There are many people here. Can’t we do it at home?”

“Then, tell Elijah to leave.”

Leanna could not help but curl her lips. What a b*stard! Then, she took advantage of Aidan’s distraction to steal a kiss from his cheek. “Happy?”

He straightened up and answered, “I guess so.”

As she snorted in response to his remark, the waiter approached them and inquired what they wanted to order.

As they walked to the private room after placing their order, Leanna grabbed Aidan’s hand and gently reminded him, “Remember your promise to me.”

“What did I promise you?”

She clenched her teeth and grunted, “Stop picking on Elijah.”

He arched his brow in response. “Have I said that?”

She took a deep breath and said, “Then, I’ll send you downstairs. Anyway, Jonathan hasn’t gone very far, so there’s a chance he can turn around and come back to pick you up.”

Leanna’s unexpected statement left Aidan speechless.

When they returned to the room, the tension had subsided. Since Daniel was the source of the problem, Zoe had no choice but to liven up the mood to avoid making it so awkward and formal. After the meal, she felt utterly wiped out. Zoe turned her head, but to her surprise, she locked eyes with Daniel smiling at her. She could not help but glare at him. What is so funny? It’s all your fault!
