I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 53

Do You Need a Partner After a long walk, Leanna felt a chill run down her spine. She never noticed that Aidan had so much free time on his hands. He actually went out of his way to ask if she had her dinner, if she had bathed, and even if she was dating someone. His behaviour was getting more confusing. She got a taxi and went to Zoe’s place. The front door was ajar when she came, and she heard sounds of quiet sobbing coming from inside. She waited for a few minutes and left silently. Leanna could understand because she would love to be alone too if she was in the same place.

She came back home and sat behind her desk, spacing out at a blank piece of paper. A feeling she never had before started bubbling within her. Zoe had dated Anthony for five years, so she probably never thought he would cheat on her. Leanna herself was the same. For three years, she acted as a good wife for Aidan in their marriage. She knew he despised her, so she knew what she should and should never do.

She never did ask for anything else. However, she was not an emotionless robot. She had lived with him for three years, and she might have done it for the rest of her life, until Mia showed up. Aidan was never hers. No matter how badly or nicely he treated Leanna, he was never hers. Looking back, she actually cared about the marriage, but she knew it was useless to care about it. She thought the divorce and new life would make things better, but Aidan had no plans on letting her go though with it. He was like a thorn inside her heart, but she could not remove it even though she knew it was there. …

The next day, she came to Castor Villa while Aidan was working. The maid was terrified when she saw Leanna coming in with some movers and gave an excuse. “Madam, we can’t let any unauthorised personnel in. It’s the master’s orders.” Leanna understood his temper and said, “They’re not coming in. I’m taking my stuff down.” She went upstairs with her empty luggage. The maid followed her, trying to calm her down. She thought they were just having a lover’s quarrel. “Why don’t you move after the Master comes back, Madam? We don’t want him to be angry.” “Is there ever a time when he isn’t angry?

He simply feels like my things are taking up his space and getting in his way, so I’m moving everything away to see what else he can say.” “But Madam…” The maid tried to dissuade her, but it failed. She sneaked away and called Aidan instead. Leanna entered the closet room and looked at her closet. She could feel her veins popping. The clothes that lined the wall were made to fit her, but she had never worn them before, and not a single one of them belonged to her. She could understand why Aidan wanted her to move these clothes, though.

Another woman might move into the villa soon, and she might get upset if she saw Leanna’s clothes still around in the closet. He’s a capitalist, alright. Don’t let anything go to waste. Her luggage was full just after she put some clothes in, and she had a lot left in the closet. She regretted being so impulsive and decided to move everything herself. She couldn’t even take the luggage downstairs, let alone move everything in the closet. Just when she was in a dilemma, the maid came back with the phone. “The Master wants to talk to you, Madam.” Leanna took the phone and said weakly, “President Pearson, I—” The man said warmly, “You don’t have to move anymore.” Leanna was surprised he would offer her that.

She froze for a moment. “Huh?” Aidan snorted coldly. “Zayn should have enough clothes for you.” He hung up before she could say anything. She held her phone, still out of the loop. What is he doing this time? A long while later, she heaved a sigh of resignation and took out the clothes from her luggage, then she hung them back on the closet. The maid said, “I know you two are still fighting. You know how the Master’s temper is, but I’m sure he misses you otherwise he wouldn’t—” She turned around and smiled. “We’re not fighting. We’re already divorced.” The maid froze up. She had no idea things were so serious.

While she was distracted, Leanna had already unpacked her clothes and went down with her luggage. She did not have to move anymore, but the movers did come with her. She paid them the money and asked them to go back. … At Pearson Group, Jonathan came knocking on the office’s door. “President Pearson, someone from the main house called. It’s the chairman’s wife’s birthday this Saturday, and they want you to be there.” Aidan grunted without even looking up. “Prepare the present,” he said. “Yes.” Jonathan hesitated for a moment, and he said, “Sir, Mr. Justin went to Lux Jewelry a while ago.”

The mention of Lux Jewelry made Aidan frown. Jonathan realized that it was the wrong thing to say. He quickly added, “It’s nothing big, really. I’ll be preparing the present now.” Aidan looked up at him. “Talk,” he said curtly. “Mr. Justin asked Miss McKinney to design a necklace for Mrs. Pearson. It’s probably a gift for her.” “And she designed it?” “Yes.” Aidan did not speak while tapping his fingers on the desk. A moment of tension later, Jonathan asked, “Should I get you a date for the upcoming birthday banquet, sir?” “I’m fine with anything,” Aidan answered, then he went back to his work. “Yes, sir.” Jonathan left, and the weight on his shoulders suddenly increased. No refusal? Then, that means yes. And he’s certainly not fine with just anything. Right, so the problem is how I should trick Leanna into going. Jonathan was unavailable for the afternoon and the receptionist called his assistant.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

They stated that a designer from Lux Jewelry had requested to meet with President Pearson. Since Jonathan was responsible for managing the connection and communication with Leanna and Lux Jewelry, the other assistants were at a loss for what to do and decided to head over to the president’s office for verification. Aidan put his pen down and massaged his forehead. “Let her in.” So, she’s surrendering. Good. She’s not a total idiot then. Someone knocked on his door ten minutes later. He said, “Come in.” When someone really came in, Aidan stood up and went to the couch without even looking at her. He was trying to intimidate the visitor. “Get me a cup of coffee.”
