I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 57

Only I Can Decide Leanna was about to leave, and then she saw Anna coming to her. Goddammit. Is everyone in their family a stalker? Anna approached Zayn, ignoring Leanna. “Why didn’t you take my call, Zayn?” Zayn was a gentle soul, but even he was annoyed by Anna’s incessant stalking. Over the last couple of days, no matter where he went, she would appear not long after for some reason.

He said coldly, “Miss Pearson, I don’t want you in my sights. Get it?” Anna’s face fell and she glared at Leanna. “It’s because of her, isn’t it? You were nicer to me before you came back. That b*tch—” “Enough!” Zayn stood up. “Anna, stop acting like a child! I’ve had enough of your tantrums!” “Tantrums? But we’ve met each other’s parents! We’ll be engaged sooner or later! I should—” He replied coldly, “I’ll never get engaged with you.

Please know your place, Miss Pearson. You don’t want to embarrass your family.” Before Anna could answer, Aidan said coldly, “I see you hate being disturbed as well. So, why are you doing the same thing to Leanna, Mr. Barnett?” The voice of Aidan made Leanna’s heart skip a beat. He’s here? Since when? And how much did he hear? Anna was about to bristle, but she calmed down. “Hi, Aidan,” she whispered. Aidan gazed at her before he turned his attention to Zayn. Zayn pursed his lips and stared at him as well. Jonathan was standing far, far away, but he could still feel sparks flying in the air. Zayn said, “I thought you already divorced her, Mr. Pearson. Why are you here? Do you have something in mind?” Aidan said nothing. He licked his lips as the look in his eyes changed. God. Why’d I even jump into this feud anyway? And why’d Aidan show up out of nowhere? Leanna whispered, “Let’s go, Zayn.”

Zayn looked away. “Okay.” They were about to leave and Anna wanted to chase after them, but Aidan hissed, “Hold it right there.” She turned around. “But Aidan…” She was in a hurry. Aidan looked at her. “This is your final warning. Don’t insult Leanna and don’t give her an attitude either.” He went around her and left the restaurant. Leanna and Zayn had left the restaurant. Then, she remained silent for a moment and bade goodbye, “I’ll be going now.” “Leanna.” He stopped her. “Please consider my proposal.” She smiled at him. “I’m honored that you’re still on my side even now, but a lot has happened over the years. Sometimes I wish nothing ever happened.” A long silence later, Zayn asked, “Leanna, do you like Aidan?” “Sorry?” Leanna froze. She had no answer for that. However, her silence was as good an answer for him as any. He smiled because he could finally let go.

“I see. I won’t bring this up again, but I’ll still be your friend. That will never change.” A long time later, she said, “Thank you.” … Leanna went to Zoe’s place after they went their separate ways. She texted her a few times, but Zoe did not answer. Probably still asleep. She leaned against the car window, spacing out at the scenery outside. Leanna was out of it all the way. She was still thinking about Zayn’s question and almost missed a step on the staircase.

By the time Leanna arrived at Zoe’s place, she stood outside for a few moments and smacked her cheeks to sober up. Zoe had changed the passcode ever since she found out about Anthony’s affair. They unlocked the door with her fingerprint the night before, so she did not know what the passcode was. Leanna rang the doorbell a few times to wake Zoe up. She might not hear that. She took her phone out and was about to call Zoe, but someone held her wrist before she could make the call. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Aidan then pinned her against the wall, and her eyes widened in disbelief. “What are you doing?” He had a dangerous look in his eyes while he held both her wrists with one hand and raised her chin with the other. Then, he squinted. “Zayn didn’t give you a ride home?” What the hell is he talking about?

Leanna struggled to break free. “None of your business!” “Pity. He should have taken you home himself.” “Why you—hmmph!” He pressed his lips against hers and chomped down on her lips. Leanna cried from the pain, but she could not escape his grasp.

She was too weak. Is he mad? Aidan noticed her tears and he loosened up a little. He nibbled on her lips and slowly deepened the kiss. Zoe suddenly opened the door. Her hair was unkempt and she looked groggy, but when she looked up, what she saw shocked her. He stopped the kiss and shot her an icy glare with a hint of impatience. A few seconds later, she said stiffly, “Whoops. You guys can go ahead.” She closed the door, after which Leanna pushed Aidan away with tears that swam in her eyes. “Are you crazy, Aidan?” Aidan wiped the blood off his lips and slowly looked at her. “I gave you a lot of chances to turn back.”

But you smacked it away every single time. “I don’t need your stupid chances. We’re divorced! Which part of ‘divorce’ don’t you get? You don’t get to kiss me without my consent!” A frown of displeasure furrowed his brows. “But you brought the divorce up, not me.” “Yeah, and you signed the papers, you prick!” “And I am taking that decision back,” he said without missing a beat. Leanna froze. She did not expect him to give her that answer. Her tears hung on her eyelashes for a moment, as if they too were too shocked to fall. Aidan continued coldly, “Only I get to end this marriage, not you.”

“Sorry, but we’re way past that point now,” she said as she was starting to compose herself again. He pursed her lips. He was about to say something, but Zoe opened the door again. She had woken up completely and pulled Leanna inside before Aidan would do anything. Then, she closed the door and locked it. “Are you alright, Leanna?” she whispered as she shot Leanna a glance. Leanna’s hair was

unkempt while her eyes were red and her lips were swollen. She did not look alright at all. She shook her head. She wanted to say something, but she was too tired to do so.
