When Leanna heard this, she had the urge to ask Aidan what the hell was going on, but she could hold back the words long enough to prevent them from escaping her mouth. If the jerk was going to tell her the truth, he wouldn't wait for her to ask, and he wouldn't find so many people to lie to her.
After a long time, she suddenly said, with an unprecedented seriousness in her tone, "Aidan, let's have a child."
On the other end of the phone, he was completely stunned.
Not hearing his answer, she said lightly, "Don't you want to? Forget it then."
After a long while, he said, "I'm not saying I don't want to. You must first explain why you have this idea. If the reason is reasonable, I will accompany you to do it every day."
Leanna ignored the imprudence in his words and said slowly, "I had a dream last night."
"Huh?"
"I dreamed about the child we lost in the car accident. In the dream, he kept calling me Mommy and smiling at me. It was so real that it seemed to make me feel that he never left at all. Maybe he is somewhere in this world where I don't know and he's living healthily."
Aidan said, "It seems that you are indeed under too much pressure. When I come back, I will accompany you to interpret your dreams."
She replied, "Okay. I'm sleepy now. Goodbye."
After speaking, she hung up the phone without hesitation.
She looked at the phone in front of her, which still displayed the recent phone call. Then, she threw her phone aside and slept under the covers.
...
After sleeping all night, Leanna felt that going to bed early was much more comfortable than going to bed later. To avoid seeing Lloyd and Georgina, she went out early in the morning. After arriving at the studio, she put things down and went to the storage room to sort things out. When she came out, she saw a staff member approach her with a huge bouquet of roses.
"May I ask who is—"
Zoe stood in front of him. "I am the receiver and I don't accept it. Please return it to him, thank you."
The flower shop staff was stunned. Are couples quarreling so badly nowadays?
Zoe continued, "Have him stop sending these in the future. I will never forgive him, never!"
He seemed to be in a dilemma and finally said, "Miss McKinney, if you don't accept it, it's hard for us to do our job. Please don't be angry—"
"Wait," Zoe interrupted him with a confused expression. "Who is this for?"
The staff looked at the card on the flowers. "For Miss McKinney. Aren't you the receiver?"
Zoe was speechless. She covered her face with her hands and ran into Leanna's office. This was really embarrassing!
The flower shop staff scratched his head, looked around the studio again, and asked, "Excuse me, who is Miss McKinney?"
Leanna sighed silently. "Give it to me."
"Okay, please sign here."
After delivering the flowers, the staff completed the task and left quickly. Two girls gathered around and said enviously, "Leanna, President Pearson is so kind to you. He doesn't even forget to buy flowers for you when he's on a business trip. He's so romantic."
She laughed dryly. Romantic? What the hell does the jerk do this time?
When Leanna brought the flowers into the office, Zoe sobbed and buried her face in her desk. "It's really going to kill me."
Leanna placed the flowers on the small table next to her and asked, "Did something happen again that I don't know about?"
Zoe looked sullen. "My life is too hard."
Yesterday afternoon, since Leanna went out, Zoe had not been well. Daniel ordered afternoon tea for their entire studio. He then asked them if anyone wanted to learn piano, and he could teach them for free. In short, he treated the studio as his own home and went back and forth without hesitation.
When Zoe decided she could take it no longer and tried to converse with Daniel in person, he was nowhere to be found. After a while, someone came to her with a bouquet of flowers, saying that Mr. Daniel wanted to apologize. So when she saw someone coming to deliver flowers today, she thought…
Afterward, she lay on the table and whimpered, unwilling to face reality for a long time.
It was fine that Leanna saw it, but the other girls in the studio were watching, so her reputation had definitely been ruined!
Hearing this, she smiled and patted Zoe's shoulder. "Okay, it's not a big deal. You can rest here before going out."
After Zoe moped around for a while, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Oh, why did you and President Pearson quarrel again?"
Leanna almost didn't react in time to the sudden shift of topic. She paused before saying, "We aren't."
Zoe sneered, "I'm telling you, men are no good. He must have done something wrong to send flowers to you."
After thinking about it, she became vigilant again. "Is he having a fling with some blonde abroad?"
Leanna was speechless, but she agreed with Zoe's first sentence. She exhaled and said, "No."
"Then, why?"
"I always feel that Aidan has something to hide from me. Every time I feel as if I'm about to get close to the truth, what was placed in front of me seems to be an ironclad fact. In addition, the fact repeatedly tells me that I'm just thinking too much."
She felt she could never figure out the most important clue, so she could never be sure of the doubt in her heart—it was just a vague suspicion. There wasn't the slightest bit of real evidence, and there was no way for her to actually do anything.
Zoe adjusted her posture and rested her chin on her folded arms. "This is hard to say. If he deliberately hides it from you, you will definitely not know the truth of the matter, but if it is..."
Leanna sighed silently and continued with the rest of her words. "If it is me thinking too much, then I'm the one making trouble unreasonably."
Zoe comforted her, "That's not quite right either. Well, if you really doubt things, you can try checking again. If it doesn't work once, then just try again. If that jerk is really hiding something from you, it's impossible for him to hide it perfectly every time."
After hearing this, Leanna felt that it sounded very reasonable. She should try again. After all, she had only gone there last night, and they certainly wouldn't expect her to go again today.
She nodded. "Yes, I'll try again."
Moreover, Aidan was not in the country, so she had more time and opportunities. Zoe lay on the table weakly again and replied, "It's great that you've come to your senses. I'll lie down here and sleep for a while. You can carry on and be busy with your work; don't worry about me."
Leanna patted her head gently. "Go to sleep. I'll wake you for lunch."
