I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 74 Aren’t You Overreacting a Little?
Leanna cleared her throat and shifted her eyes away unnaturally. Something like this which is clear to everyone should be left
unsaid, she thought. It’s so awkward to say it out loud.
Fixing his cold eyes on her, Aidan didn’t have a single shard of emotion on his handsome face.
A few seconds later, she lifted the blanket and said, “Sorry to trouble you today, President Pearson. I’m going home now...”
Standing in front of the bed, he had his hands in his pockets and a stoic face.
As she was dizzy and weak to begin with, she had almost exhausted all her energy trying to force herself out of the bed, and the
second her foot landed on the floor, her vision turned black. Subconsciously, she held on to something to stop herself from
passing out.
When she had recovered a little, her eyes traced along her arm and she saw the thing she had grabbed onto—Aidan’s shirt.
An awkward chuckle escaped her lips and she withdrew her hand, but after she lost her support, she couldn’t help but fall
backward. Raising his arm, Aidan held her around her waist, but the great inertia toppled both of them onto the bed.
Leanna blinked, her cheeks blushing brightly as her eyes teared up.
Supporting himself with both hands, he looked into her eyes and asked in a husky voice, “What do you mean with those eyes?”
Looking away, she asked herself, What eyes? I just feel my body burning, and I can’t help but want to... get closer to him.
Holding her chin, he forced her to look into his eyes. “Tell me, what would you like to do?” he said lazily.
However, Leanna didn’t answer him and merely thought that even though they were so close, she couldn’t seem to tell what was
on his mind.
At the office today, Aidan was like a block of ice which could never be melted—cold and feelingless. However, in a blink of an
eye, he rushed over to save her and appeared in a place where he shouldn’t be.
In an attempt to intensify his revenge against her, he had done all that was possible, and just a small ploy from him could make
her bear tens of millions in debt. Despite that, he never mentioned that Jethro had asked him for money.

Three years of marriage and Leanna thought that she more or less knew Aidan a little, but she realized now that she never knew
the man.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Aidan knitted his brows in annoyance. “Say something.”
Slowly, she uttered, “Nothing. I just suddenly feel that you’re quite good-looking, President Pearson.”
Aidan was speechless, and she suddenly raised her arms, circled them around his neck and lifted her head a little as she placed
her lips on his.
She had stretched out her arms and hugged him around his neck to kiss him as his dark eyes gradually dimmed. It had been
four months since she filed for divorce, and he hadn’t touched her for a very long time.
Everything proceeded naturally and at the last step, Leanna held his hands in reflex. “You... Be gentle.”
As he gazed into her teary eyes, his heart softened without a reason, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Okay.”
Since she was a little terrified and nervous, she couldn’t help but moan softly when he approached her.
An expressionless Aidan peered at her. “Aren’t you overreacting a little?”
“I’m not... It hurts.”
“You didn’t seem to hurt this much when it was your first time.”
“That’s different...”
At that time, she was drugged and had lost consciousness. So, how could she have felt the pain?
“Should I get you something to make things more thrilling for you?” he asked.
Leanna was quiet while thinking, This jerk is so demanding.
Kissing her forehead, Aidan softened his voice as he said, “Bear with it a little, okay?”
In reply, she whimpered from her throat and clenched his arms tightly.
...

When it was over, she was completely knocked out from exhaustion, and even when he carried her for a wash in the bathroom,
she didn’t look like she was going to wake up at all.
Pulling over the bath towel, he then dried her and placed her on the bed. Without the clothes as cover, the small bump on her
belly was now more obvious.
Lowering his eyes, he went on one knee next to the bed and placed his hand softly on it.
Even though Leanna was fast asleep, she lifted her hand subconsciously because she could sense someone drawing close.
Slap!
The crisp, clear sound of a slap echoed in the room and stunned Aidan. Immediately, he looked up with eyes so cold that it could
turn one into ice. However, Leanna didn’t notice it at all. After murmuring a little, she rolled over and curled up her body in a
protective position.
Gritting his teeth tightly, he sprang up and left in a huff. Initially, he wanted to slam the door loudly to wake up that heartless
woman who didn’t know what was good for her, but when the door swung close, he reduced his strength and closed it gently
instead.
After that, he went to the study and called a number.
Jonathan’s voice quickly echoed from the phone. “President Pearson?”
“How did it go?” Aidan asked curtly.
“It’s all clear. The illegal money lender wanted Jethro to pay up within three days, and after many fruitless attempts to look for
you, he started to have his designs on Madam again. Moreover... he had planned this entirely by himself.” Then, Jonathan
added, “There’s another thing, President Pearson.”
“Tell me.”
“Before this, the money lender first went to look for Madam’s younger brother, and they ended up in the police station after a
heated argument. As the money lender couldn’t find Jethro, he asked Madam for money instead, and that was the same night
when Madam’s brother went to Pantheon Club...”
And that was how the incident of selling admission notices came about.

Aidan gazed out the window with unreadable thoughts in his mind. After pausing for a few seconds, he said, “Don’t let him
appear before Leanna again.” Subsequently, he continued, “There’s a problem at Lachstein. Book a ticket for tomorrow because
I’m making a trip there myself.”
Even though Jonathan was aware that there was not a single problem with the collaboration in Lachstein since everything was
progressing smoothly, he didn’t expose Aidan and asked tentatively, “Tomorrow morning or afternoon?”
Without much emotion, Aidan answered, “Eight in the morning.”
“Okay, I’ll book it right away.”
“Hang on.” He paused for a while and said, “When I’m not around, send someone to follow Leanna and don’t let the Pearsons
find out that she’s pregnant.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, he stood in the study for quite some time before returning to the bedroom. On the bed, Leanna was balled up
on the side of the bed, taking up such a small space that it seemed like she would fall off any time.
Aidan went to the bed, lay down and pulled her over, which made her squirm in discomfort. However, he held her in his arms
firmly, and in the end, she could only stick her head out at a spot where she could breathe.
Watching her pitiful face, he smirked unwittingly, and his mood was incredibly good. A long while later, he said in a low voice, “I
hope that by the time I’m back, you’ll give me a satisfactory answer.”
