Chapter 129 I Believe What I See With My Eyes
Back in the room, Leanna opened the luggage and placed her stuff back in its place, one by one.
Once she was finished unpacking, she plopped herself on the bed in devastation. She had done nothing at all today, but she was incredibly exhausted.
While she was staring out the window in a daze, her phone started ringing.
She immediately sat up, searched the room, and found her phone on the desk.
It was a call from Georgina.
“Miss McK, I have to apologize to you on behalf of Anna for what happened today. That girl has been spoiled since she was young. Please don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s alright,” Leanna answered calmly.
Then, after a short pause, Georgina said, “Even though this may be a little abrupt, I’m still very curious whether the things Anna said are true. Please don’t misunderstand, I don’t mean anything else, but I would like to ask about your relationship with Aidan.”
“I’m his ex-wife.”
“I see… I’m so sorry. Previously, I’ve been rude to you when I didn’t know about your relationship.”
“You’re too kind, Miss Crossley. We’re already divorced, but I didn’t know that you’re actually his fiancée, so I should be the one to apologize.”
Georgina chuckled. “Yeah, I’ve liked him for a long time, and I thought I would marry him, but unfortunately…” Instead of finishing her half-complete sentence, she switched the subject and said, “Before I got to know you, I’d only heard the one-sided story from Anna, and I had a lot of misunderstandings about you. However, it’s different now. I’m glad to know you as a friend, and I believe you’re definitely not the kind of person Anna said you are.”
“Actually, Anna is right. I’m not a good person
, and I was the one who forced Aidan to marry me back then,” Leanna said.
“I believe what my eyes see,” Georgina insisted.
Leanna chuckled softly and thanked her graciously, “Thank you, Miss Crossley.”
“Before this, I said that I’ll buy you a meal when the finished item is completed, but I have all the more reason to buy you a meal now as an apology. When will you be free?”
…
After Leanna hung up the phone, she plopped back onto the bed with a heavier sense of weariness than before.
If she had known that Georgina was Aidan’s fiancée, she wouldn’t have taken up this deal nor accepted this order.
This is so frustrating! she thought.
As she stuffed her face against the pillow, she really wished that she could punch that jerk to death. If it weren’t because of him, she wouldn’t be caught in this dilemma.
Who knows? I might really be known as the homewrecker. That jerk! Assh*le! Scumbag! Go to hell! Be gone! F*ck you!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she decided to scramble out of bed. Then, she flipped open her draft book and drew a few swift strokes on the paper before stomping out of the room with tape. Lastly, she taped the paper on Aidan’s bedroom door.
After she managed to vent her frustrations a little, she finally felt her breathing becoming calmer.
Despite that, she was still unable to fall asleep later in the night.
It was no surprise that Aidan didn’t care about
