Chapter 437

Leanna had considered this too, but she would regret it if she gave up before even trying first. She’d feel as if she didn’t do right by Louis as well.

After a while, she said, “Even if he refuses to tell me, I can still try and dig something out of him. Plus, by staying at Crossley Residence, I can find out what Lloyd’s next move will be.”

Aidan stared at her quietly. His lips were slightly pursed.

She stared right back at him without backing down.

“I’ll keep in touch with you at all times,” she continued. “If I sense any danger, I’ll leave at once without wasting a single second. Is that enough?”

After a while, he stood up. “Let’s go.”

She sighed in defeat.

She’d wasted all that time trying to convince him.

Before she could say anything else, he spoke up, “Remember what you said, and don’t forget that you still have… a younger brother you need to raise.”

“Louis can earn enough to support himself,” Leanna retorted. “He doesn’t need me to—”

She immediately clammed up once Aidan gave her an icy stare.

He remained quiet the whole time they were on the road, and his expressionless face gave nothing away.

“Are you angry?” she asked tentatively.

“Yes.”

She didn’t know what to say.

She didn’t expect him to answer in the affirmative.

“Don’t you always claim to be less sensitive and small-minded than me?” she groused.

“So, you’re admitting that you’re sensitive and small-minded, then?” he shot back.

Leanna thought about it before answering, “Well, having a small mind means that it’s fully occupied by you alone.”

Aidan was speechless at her words.
