I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 127 Honesty and Responsibility Are the Most Important
The smile on the edges of Leanna’s lips fell a little, and she nodded gently.
Zoe couldn’t help but curse in her heart before asking in a low voice, ”Then, did you give the stuff to her?”
”I did, but Anna threw it out.”
Zoe sighed at that and responded, ”Forget it. Since it’s thrown out, so be it. Anyway, you’ve already received the design fees, so
they can do whatever they like with it.”
Even though that was what she said, she knew that every design was unique and the brainchild of the designer. So, it would be a
lie to say that the designer didn’t mind when they witnessed their design being thrown out.
”Let’s go,” Leanna said.....
Right after she had told Leanna that, she saw Aidan marching out of the hotel with an emotionless face, and a layer of cold air
encapsulated him as he strode in large strides toward the Rolls-Royce parked at the side.
He didn’t even glance once in their direction the entire time.
Jonathan followed behind him and couldn’t help but cast a hesitant look at Leanna, unsure whether he should ask her to come
along with them. In the end, he nodded at her in acknowledgment and left in a hurry.
”What’s up with that jerk? He’s the one who’s being greedy by wanting more than one woman. How can he act so justified? I
really misjudged him. Hmph!”
Leanna merely chuckled softly. ”Let’s go.”
...
Back at Castor Villa, Leanna was about to go upstairs when the servant, Alice, approached her and said in a hushed voice,
”Madam, did you have an argument with Master again? I saw that he had a long face when he returned earlier. It looks like he’s
furious.”
”It’s okay. He’s always like this.”
Before Alice left, she advised Leanna a little more, and when Leanna returned to her room, she took out her luggage from the
closet and simply tossed her clothes into it. Then, she strolled out of the room with it.
Outside the bedroom, she saw Aidan leaning against the doorframe with his hands stuck in his pockets and looking at her
expressionlessly. ”Where are you going?”
”Since you’re going to get married, there’s no more reason for me to stay here any longer, President Pearson,” Leanna
answered.
However, he let out a mirthless laugh before he said, ”Just one word from her, and you took it for real, but when I said so much,
you didn’t give two hoots about it. Leanna McKinney, this is just your excuse, isn’t it?”

”You can think whatever makes you happy, President Pearson.” She couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on him, so she
sashayed forward with the luggage behind her. Nevertheless, she stopped in her tracks when she was at the staircase. I was too
impulsive, she realized. Aidan didn’t move from his spot, not far from her, as he watched her with composure. Then, with an
inexplicable fury swirling in her chest, it was as though she was squabbling with him without words, and after thinking about it for
a few seconds, she went downstairs. ”Alice, will you please help me to bring down my stuff?” Just when Alice was about to
agree, she caught sight of Aidan at the top of the staircase, wearing a stoic face. So, she came up with an excuse on the spot as
she placed a hand on her back for support. ”Oh my, Madam. My back has been hurting for the past couple of days from an old
pain, and I can’t lift anything heavy,” she said, scurrying away from the scene. Leanna was rendered speechless by her daring
but thought, Forget it. I don’t want my stuff anymore. Thus, she turned and left, but Aidan’s voice echoed behind her, saying,
”You should think about the consequences of leaving.” The moment the words left his lips, Leanna really stopped in her tracks,
and he came downstairs slowly before taking a seat on the couch. She looked at him calmly, asking, ”Are you threatening me,
President Pearson?”
”If it makes you happy to think like this, then go ahead.” Leanna was stunned as she quietly wondered, This jerk probably has
some issues.
Finally, she pursed her lips before trying to reason with him, ”President Pearson, Miss Crossley probably doesn’t know about our
relationship, and neither does she have any idea that we’re currently living together. If she finds out—”
Aidan lifted his eyes to look at her. ”What will happen if she finds out?”
Having been interrupted by her suddenly, she forgot what she wanted to say, but he continued, ”Leanna McKinney, I think you
should explain why you appeared there tonight and not question me who I’m marrying.”
Who’s questioning him? she asked herself. He’s the one who’s being a two-timer.
She took a deep breath and said, ”President Pearson, it wasn’t my intention to show up tonight. Miss Crossley is my client, and I
was there to deliver something. But, afterward, something cropped up at the auction, and that’s why I went to clarify the situation
to Mr. Barnett.”
”Did he listen to your explanation?”
”Uh... No.”
”Did your clarification help?” “Also, no.” Aidan fixed his indifferent gaze at her as he asked, ”Then tell me, what were you doing
there?” After a few seconds of silence, Leanna answered, ”President Pearson, there was an issue with my design, and I have to
be responsible as the designer. So, I can’t skip the explanation just because it doesn’t help.” ”I didn’t see you being responsible
for anything. All I saw was Zayn Barnett going against his father because of you,” he said, sounding so nonchalant that it was as
though he was enjoying the show.

Leanna was out of words because she knew that Zayn must be under tremendous pressure to clarify for her against everyone’s
opinions.
Then, Aidan added, ”Leanna McKinney, do you think that now that the Barnetts had found out about your existence and already
had an arranged marriage with the Pearsons, they’ll still act like nothing had happened after they witnessed how Zayn Barnett
defended you against all odds? Will they just let you be?”
For a moment, she couldn’t really understand him. ”What do you mean?”
”I mean, your enemy now is not only the Pearsons but also the Barnetts. Once you leave this door, whatever happens to you is
unrelated to me.”
A moment of silence passed by before she chuckled. ”That’s right. After all, you’ve never been interested in caring about these
things.”
Aidan smacked his lips at her accusations, then fixed his eyes on Leanna.
He had never bothered to explain himself to others, and people could misunderstand the situation as they liked. Yet, he wanted
to open up this heartless woman’s chest to look at her heart to see if it was truly made out of stone.
”If I don’t care about you, do you think you can speak so freely with me?” he asked.
She laughed indifferently at his comment as she didn’t want to continue the conversation and merely said, ”No matter what,
since you’re engaged with Miss Crossley, you should take some time to clarify things with her. In a marriage, honesty and
responsibility are the most important.”
He glanced at her when she spoke those words and asked, ”Do you mean to imply that I wasn’t honest, nor did I uphold my duty
as a husband?”
Well, you’re the one who admitted it, she answered silently.
”I just think that since you’re going to marry Miss Crossley, then you shouldn’t hide anything from her. Otherwise—”
”Leanna McKinney, are you jealous?”
”Huh?” Leanna blurted.
After that, Aidan rose from his seat and started to stalk closer to her, step by step. ”The whole night, you keep bringing up
Georgina and marriage. Isn’t it because you’re jealous?”
She couldn’t help but move a step back as her cheeks flushed crimson. ”I’m not! I just think that what you’re doing is very
shameless!”
While she was stepping back, she bumped into something and was about to fall. Out of panic, she flailed her arms around and
grabbed the shirt in front of her.
