I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 118 He’s Cold to His Bones
Leanna was terrified. For Aidan to ask if I like him... That’s almost as scary as him asking me what time I’d like to die tonight or
how I’d like to die tonight! She licked her cracked lips and tasted a hint of alcohol on them. “You must be drunk, President
Pearson.”
Aidan fixed his dark pupils on her without responding. “You should be, right? Why else would you fool around with me?” she
asked carefully. He scoffed and gradually let go of her before he loosened his necktie. “Do you think I’m fooling around with
you?”
“Aren’t you?” Leanna tried to analyze the situation. “I don’t understand the purpose of you asking me this question. If I say I like
you, you’d think I’m crazy in love. If I say I don’t like you, you’d think I have bad taste. One way or another, I won’t be able to give
you an answer you’re satisfied with. Why don’t you tell me the answer you’d like to hear? I’ll just go along with it,” she offered.
He glared at her icily. “Do you also make such comparisons when you’re with Zayn?”
“No...” Because I’ve never been together with Zayn. Furthermore, only God knows what’s going on in this madman’s mind. So,
it’s only natural for me to want to protect myself! She explained herself once more. “There’s nothing between Zayn and me,
President Pearson. Furthermore, he’s engaged now, so I hope you can stop making assumptions about Zayn’s relationship with
me.”
“Is that so...” Aidan uttered thoughtfully.
“Of course!” she replied.
“Since you guys claim to be innocent, then what about that First Love series you designed? Who was that for?” he asked.
Leanna was speechless for a while. “That’s just a general topic that I thought the audience could relate to. I’m not designing it for
anyone. But, it seems like you keep finding issues with the title of my series, President Pearson. Aren’t you jealous too?” she
retorted.
Aidan pressed his thin lips together as his gaze darkened. At that moment, Leanna realized how her question seemed rather
abrupt—it felt like she was asking to be punished by uttering such a thing. She was just about to take her words back when she
heard Aidan’s emotionless voice. “So what if that’s true?”
“What?” Leanna was shocked. What’s going on?
“You know what I mean, Leanna,” he uttered in a thick voice. She was silent for a moment before she replied. “Liking someone
doesn’t prove anything. Didn’t you say this in the past, President Pearson?”
“That’s true. However, I can give you the spot as Mrs. Pearson. No one can take that away from you,” he uttered. “Even if that’s
the case, I still can’t have the public know about my child, right?” Aidan wasn’t done, but Leanna already had a clear answer in
her mind. He claims to like me, but he wants things to go back to how they were before we divorced. My guess is correct—he’s

just used to having me by his side. He’s used to me pampering him, and he’s used to having someone waiting for him when he
returns to the Castor Villa every day. Habits are such a scary thing.
“Well, can you answer this, President Pearson? What are you planning to do with the child in my stomach? Will it survive? Can
you be clear about this?” she asked.
He hesitated for a few moments before answering her question. “You can have the child, but you’ll have to send it away.” She
hadn’t expected this answer, so she froze for a moment before responding to him. “That’s on condition that the Pearsons never
find out about my pregnancy, right?”
“Yes.”
Leanna was quiet for a long while after that. “I know I might not be in a position to say such a thing, Aidan, but...” Her voice was
shaky as she spoke. “This isn’t just my child. Haven’t you ever considered allowing the child to be peacefully born into this
world?” she asked. His expression remained cold as ever. “I told you about this. I don’t plan on having children for the next two
years.” He had assumed that she wouldn’t get pregnant as long as they took the necessary precautionary measures. However,
he hadn’t expected such an accident to occur. He didn’t want the child to end up like a rag doll that they threw around after birth,
so he figured that the best solution was to counter the root of the issue. Leanna knew that there was no point in attempting to
change Aidan’s mind after he had made a decision. She sniffed before gazing at him with her bloodshot eyes. “Will... I get to see
the baby after sending it away?”
“No.”
“But...” she protested.
“You know you should’ve told me about your pregnancy the moment you found out about it, Leanna. You shouldn’t have waited
for me to find out about it on my own. Furthermore, you’re the one who insists on having the child, so you’ll have to bear the
responsibilities regardless of the outcome of this matter,” he spoke in a bone-chilling tone. He voiced this matter as if it were just
another unimportant task he had to deal with.
He might show some occasional care toward her, but deep down, he was still heartless as ever. No one could change that about
him. He continued speaking when Leanna was silent for a short while. “I promised that I would try my best to keep this a secret
from the Pearsons. Also, Leanna, you should remember that I’m your husband, not your enemy or some crazy beast. So, you
need to stop having your guard up against me,” he uttered.
“Ex-husband.” She corrected him. “You still think of me as your enemy, huh,” he said with a scoff. “Both of us will suffer in that
case,” he said. It was hard for her to fight back when he sounded like he was on her side after putting the blame all on her. I don’t
have the strength to argue anymore. He can say whatever he wants to, she thought.
“Well, if that’s all you have to say, then I’ll go to bed now,” she said with a mirthless smile.

Then, without waiting for his response, she turned and entered her room. Her tummy no longer felt bloated after their argument,
so she went back to lie on her bed. Yet, her eyes were wide open—she couldn’t sleep at all. She rested her palm on her belly as
she could feel the little one moving around. It seems like the commotion earlier woke it up. It’s flipping around in my belly.
Sometimes, Leanna could feel the baby’s arms fumbling in her belly. If she couldn’t find a way to leave before the child was born,
then Aidan would end up sending the child away, and she would never be able to see her baby again. It wasn’t that Leanna was
trying to go against Aidan after understanding his side of the story. On the contrary, she was very concerned about this whole
matter—that was why she didn’t want the child to be associated with Aidan or anyone in the family.
She didn’t care about the feuds and grudges held between people in the Pearson Family, and she couldn’t bring herself to fulfill
all of Aidan’s wishes. She was just a regular mother who wanted her child to come to this world safely. Nevertheless, it seemed
like they’d gotten to a point where she had no other choice.
What disappointed Leanna the most wasn’t the consequences she had to face after the Pearsons found out about the child—
what disappointed her the most was that b*stard’s callous attitude. Aidan had never thought about the baby from the very start. It
was almost as if he didn’t care about the baby’s life. He was like an observer on the sidelines who made a few sarcastic remarks
every now and then.
