I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 39
I Don’t Want Anything Else “Speak.” In a straightforward manner, Aidan shot his words in a gruff voice. Leanna licked her lips
before asking cautiously, “I just found out that my gastric pills are gone. I wonder if I left it in your office...” “No.” Without waiting
for her response, he hung up the phone immediately after his brief reply. She was left speechless by his action. He could have
simply declined nicely. Why did the b*stard have to be so obnoxious? Although she deliberately referred to her bottle of folic acid
as gastric pills, she could not help but think that the b*stard would infinitely assume she was scheming her way to him again by
leaving her bottle of folic acid at his office.
I can already imagine his mocking face and tone, Leanna thought as she lay on her bed. For the entire night, worry got the best
of her as she was not able to sleep well at all. As such, she woke up early the next morning and went back to the cafe and
restaurant to inquire again but to no avail. She could only hope her medicine was dropped on her way home. In the afternoon,
she was not idle either. Instead, she scheduled some appointments to visit a few houses as she intended to sign a contract to
move in today if she found a suitable one. ... At the office of Pearson Group, Aidan sneered as the IOU and folic acid pills next to
him drew his attention away from the pile of documents. I can’t believe she described it as her stomach meds. With that thought,
he pursed his thin lips slightly and finally took out his phone to dial Leanna’s number after a long time. He was curious to see her
expression when she retrieved the ‘gastric pills’ bottle from him as well as to hear some new excuses she could concoct.
When the call was answered, a gentle female voice sounded, “Good day, this is Worthington Hotel. How may I assist you?”
Hearing that, he raised an eyebrow. Hotel? I thought she was staying at her friend’s house. Why is she in a hotel? Aidan’s
expression changed as he considered a particular possibility and his gaze went cold as if a thin layer of frost covered his black
pupils. After hanging up the phone, he rose to his feet and exited the office. Not forgetting to bring the medicine, he retraced his
steps back to the table and placed it into his pocket after reaching the door initially. Jonathan quickly followed Aidan upon seeing
him. “President Pearson...” “We’re going to Lux Jewelry,” Aidan uttered, with his voice slightly taut. “Yes.” In the midst of their
journey while Jonathan was driving, he received a call and his expression turned solemn.
“President Pearson, the Barnetts came to visit the Pearson Family Estate. They are said to be discussing Mr. Barnett and Miss
Anna’s marriage.” After a few seconds, Aidan replied, “Head there.” His chilling facial features were devoid of emotion. With that,

the Rolls-Royce made a U-turn and drove toward the Pearson Family Estate. ... Georgina was among those who visited the
Pearson Family Estate this time, in addition to Zayn’s parents and Carly. The Crossleys and Pearsons had known each other for
over two generations. Georgina was gentle, quiet, and knowledgeable, so Sienna had always liked her. After Georgina greeted
the elders, she knew that such an occasion was inappropriate for her to be present, so she said, “Old Master Pearson and Mrs.
Pearson, I went to Europe and bought a few classical records. I’m sure Justin will enjoy it. I’ll give these to him.”
“Go ahead and look for him in the garden. He hasn’t seen you in quite some time. He’ll sure be ecstatic to see you,” Sienna
gushed with a smile. Originally, this was a meeting between Anna and Zayn. By right, Anna was simply the daughter of Sienna’s
sister. Even though her last name had been changed to Pearson, she was not one of the Pearson Family. Therefore, her
marriage should be decided by her parents. However, both families were well-aware that Anna was just a pawn in chess; what
essentially would be facilitated and improved this time was the relationship between the Pearsons and the Barnetts. As a result,
it was natural for Gordon and Sienna to emerge and preside over the entire situation. Not to be strange, but this type of political
marriage was common among wealthy families. On the other hand, the sweet-mouthed Anna was also well-behaved in front of
the elders.
Zayn’s parents assumed her lack of cunningness was due to the fact that she had been spoiled since she was a child. However,
things might change after the wedding. The two parties discussed the marriage on their own terms and with the assistance of
Anna, the process moved quickly. Just as everything was about to be settled, Aidan appeared. Everyone went silent and frozen
upon his arrival as if someone had pressed the pause button. “Aidan, Zayn and I are about to get engaged and no one will be
able to steal him away from me anymore!” Anna cheered despite the silence. “I plan to schedule the wedding next month and the
location will be at the Pearson Group’s Harbor View Hotel,” Gordon stated, “What do you think, Aidan?” “I disagree.” Aidan, who
was sitting on the couch, replied softly. When Anna heard his words, she became anxious. “Aidan...”
“I’m not sure why President Pearson disagrees,” Carly said before adding, “Can you tell us more about it?” “Zayn is having an
affair, so he’ll be the most aware of what’s going on.” “You can’t blabber nonsense, President Pearson. Zayn is a man with moral
integrity who will never cause trouble outside of the house.” Mr. Barnett defended with a frown. “What’s going on?” Gordon asked
in a quiet voice. “It’s that woman who has been bothering Zayn. He was duped by her!” Anna blurted. “Which woman? Make it
clear, Anna.” Sienna demanded an answer. “It’s Miss McKi—” At that moment, Aidan locked his cold intense gaze onto her as
she was merely halfway through her words. “Anyway, Zayn has nothing to do with her. I will only marry him!” She gritted her

teeth while stomping her feet. “Although Anna is your cousin, the parents are in charge of the marriage matters. You appear to
be meddling too much, President Pearson,” Carly rebutted at the time. At that, Aidan’s thin lips twitched and his tone became
even colder. “I honestly don’t really care and I have no say in Anna’s marriage. However, once she’s married, all of her shares
will be returned to the Pearsons.”
As soon as these words were uttered, the entire living room fell silent again. He stated unequivocally that using this marriage to
consolidate their control over the Pearson Family with the Barnetts would be futile. This implied that the Pearsons would not
collaborate with the Barnetts. In the end, this political marriage would be for naught. Sienna’s expression was unappealing.
“You’re taking it too far,” she hollered.
The very reason why Anna had changed her last name at Sienna’s request was in order to obtain the Pearson’s shares.
However, Aidan’s actions undeniably shattered all of her plans. Still, the Barnett Family was rich and powerful. Although marrying
into the Pearsons was very advantageous for them, his words were too harsh for them to bear. “Since this is a family issue, we’ll
leave for you guys to discuss first,” Mr. Barnett said as he bid his farewell. Anna was worried, so she dashed over to make him
stay. “Aidan didn’t mean that, Mr. Barnett. Mrs. Barnett, if you can persuade Mr. Barnett, I will...” “Anna, let’s wait for your family
to discuss the matter before we settle the marriage.” Mrs.
Barnett yanked her hand away and proclaimed. With that, Zayn departed as well. After that commotion, only a few of them
remained in the living room. “I don’t want anything else, Aidan. I just want to be with Zayn...” Anna was enraged, but she could
only mutter uneasily. “Shut up, Anna,” Gordon yelled.
