Chapter 649 That Doesn’t Apply to Him
Leanna looked in the direction of the 24-hour convenience store and commented, "I'm going to get a bottle of water. Do you want anything?"
"Nope. I'll wait for you outside."
"Okay. I'll be back quickly!"
After that, she jogged to the convenience store.
When she came out of the store after making her purchase, Aidan was standing beside the road while staring into space. From the back, he looked cold and aloof.
Leanna watched him for a little longer before walking up to him.
Sensing her drawing near, Aidan withdrew his thoughts. "Let's go."
"Are you tired?" Leanna inquired.
Then, she continued before he could reply, "If you don't mind, can we stroll around the area? I wanna take a walk after the meal."
Aidan hummed and strode forward in a leisurely manner.
Leanna walked up to him. "You mentioned previously that you're free to go on a vacation after two weeks, right?"
"Yeah."
"I thought about it and I think I'd be able to find time to do that. Where do you want to go?"
Aidan's lips curled upward. "Anywhere is fine. I'll go along with your plans."
"I'll pick anywhere then? Don't complain when the time comes."
"When have I ever complained about you?"
Somehow, that statement felt a little weird to Leanna.
A hint of joy was present in Aidan's dark orbs. Holding her hand, he explained, "I'll go wherever you want to go."
"Hmm… When will your work be settled?"
"In a week, probably."
"Okay." Leanna nodded lightly.
Only a few cars were seen on the road as it was midnight, so the two held hands and walked under the streetlights, their shadows gradually elongated.
After a while, Leanna suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Aidan."
"Hmm?"
"Let's register our marriage tomorrow."
Aidan paused slightly and stayed mounted to the ground, suddenly unable to respond.
"It won't take too long for the marriage registration. Just come when you have time."
Aidan turned to look at her with obsidian orbs. "What makes you want to register our marriage now?"
Leanna looked sideways and pulled her hand out from his grasp before moving forward. "Well, I heard someone calling me your wife today, but we're not legally married yet, so I figured that I can't be taken advantage of like that. If you don't want to, then forget it."
Aidan hurriedly caught up to her and explained, "It's not that I don't want to, but it's not the right time yet. Can we do it later?"
"Later? When? A month later? Three months later? Or a year later?" Leanna turned sideways to look at him. "Tell me. Why can't we do it now?"
Aidan went silent.
"Be honest. Are you hiding something from me?" Leanna questioned in a serious tone.
After a few seconds, Aidan replied, "I'm not trying to hide anything from you. I just want to tell you about it after everything is settled."
It was Leanna's turn to go silent this time. Without prodding him any further, she decided, "Okay, then. But remember, you were the one who rejected me this time. We'll register our marriage only when I'm in the mood to next time."
Aidan was evidently confused.
"A month? Three months? Or a year later?" he asked.
Leanna quirked her brow. "I can't tell for sure yet. Another three to five years could be possible."
Aidan was speechless.
"Alright. I'm tired. Let's head home."
Even after arriving home, Aidan didn't give up. "Is there no room for discussion?"
"Nope."
