Chapter 67 We Won’t Be in Touch Anymore Georgina asked thoughtfully, “Doesn’t Aidan hate her?” “Yes, but I don’t know what’s happened recently. Aidan warned me not to provoke her again.” After picking up the wine glass, Georgina said casually, “Perhaps it’s because she’s pregnant.” When she heard that, Anna suddenly widened her eyes in shock. “What?! She—” Georgina added softly, “I saw her going for a maternity check in the hospital before. My instincts say that she’s pregnant, but I can’t prove it.
I’ve tested my theory several times, and I can conclude that there’s at least an eighty percent chance that she’s pregnant. However, don’t announce anything yet, Anna. I know she and Aidan have divorced, so it’s still unclear as to who the child might belong to.” Although Georgina euphemistically said those words, she had successfully conveyed a hidden meaning. In an instant, hatred rose on Anna’s face. That shameless woman has been pestering Zayn recently, and she suddenly showed up again today! She must be planning to threaten us using the child in her stomach! I bet she’ll force Zayn to marry her in front of everyone! No! I shall never let this happen!” Enraged with her thoughts, Anna turned around and went to find Leanna. Meanwhile, Georgina stared at her silhouette and slowly drank the wine from the glass. Meanwhile, Leanna was still waiting to receive news from Zoe. As time passed, her panic and unease gradually grew stronger. At this moment, someone shouted to her, “Hey, you there!
Come over and clean up this place.” At that, Leanna looked over. When she saw the wine stains on the floor, she thought, Someone’s child must’ve accidentally knocked over the wine glass while playing, and the red wine stains are all over the floor now. The person noticed that she hadn’t moved, so they said again, “What are you doing? Don’t you know how important all the guests are today? Are you going to take responsibility if anyone slips?” “Leanna.” Suddenly, Zayn’s voice came from the side. When the person who was behaving arrogant earlier saw Zayn, their attitude changed drastically. Then, the person stepped forward to greet him, saying, “Mr. Barnett, I have long heard about you. I’m—” Zayn side-eyed him, and the gentleness between his eyebrows had long since disappeared. After walking up to Leanna, he then dragged her out of the front hall. When they got to the pool, Zayn said, “Why are you here, Leanna?”
Leanna replied, “I have some matters to attend to.” She contemplated if she should ask him the next question, and she paused for a while. Eventually, she asked, “Are you preparing to get engaged to Anna?” Zayn laughed upon hearing that. “Was Aidan the one who told you?” As he spoke, he looked at his surroundings. He stayed silent for a long time before saying, “For me, it doesn’t matter who I end up with if I don’t marry the person I like.” At that moment, Leanna didn’t know what to say to comfort him. “Zayn—” If Zayn gets engaged to someone else, I will sincerely congratulate him as a friend. However, I know Anna’s character all too well. No matter what, I still hope Zayn considers his decision. Sensing Leanna’s silence, Zayn quickly said, “Leanna, you don’t have to blame yourself. Last night, I learned that Anna isn’t actually the one who wants to get engaged to me. Instead, the Barnett Family is in dire need of this alliance marriage.” All of a sudden, Leanna became speechless as the realization hit her.
That’s right, how can feelings come first in business cooperations that easily cost hundreds of millions? The rich and powerful just look bright and beautiful on the surface, but they’re actually vicious and greedy on the inside. “Leanna, I hope you’ll find someone you like who’s equally devoted to you in the future.” Weren’t we like this before? We keep missing the chance to be together repeatedly. Lately, Zayn had been thinking about him and Leanna. If there was no such thing as breaking the Aeras agreement; if I had been less calm and rational; and if I confessed what was in my heart earlier, we might not have ended up like this. After a long time, Leanna smiled faintly. “There should never be such a person anymore.” Zayn was silent for a while before he said, “You and Aidan—” “There‘s no possibility between me and him.
