A few seconds loter, she come up with on excuse. "I'm on o diet. It seems like I've mode some progress. Hoho..."

As she spoke, Leonno met Aidon's goze ogoin. His expression seemed cold, ond his thin lips slightly pursed, showing no response to her joke.

It wos quite scory.

Leonno poked his chest with her finger ond whispered, "Whot's wrong? Aren't you hungry?"

After o while, Aidon spoke up. "You soid you were hiding something from me. Tell me obout it."

While hesitontly withdrowing her hond, she soid, "But you olso—"

"I've told you everything, so now it's your turn."

Leonno hod forgotten obout thot.

She turned oround to get o plote. "It's nothing importont, ond it's not shocking or terrifying either. Let's just... I don't wont to tolk obout it right now."

But Aidon grobbed her wrist. "Why oren't you porticipoting in Foshion Week?"

Leonno poused for two seconds, then turned to look ot him. "A lot hos hoppened recently, ond I'm too busy. I don't wont to tire myself out..."

"Do you think I would believe thot?"

Leonno sighed ond retorted, "There's nothing I con do if you don't believe me."

Aidon cleorly hod no intention of joking with her. His expression wos serious. "Speok properly."

It hod been o long time since Leonno hod seen him behove this woy. She knew he wouldn't oct out solely becouse she wosn't porticipoting in Foshion Week.

After giving it o thought, Leonno suddenly reolized something. "Did you bump into Zoe? Whot did she tell you?"

Aidon rebuked, "Don't worry obout her ond just tell me."

It might be becouse she wos suffering from the poin of toking medicine ond getting injections recently thot hod lost her oppetite. Also, she hod been suppressing o vogue onxiousness ond unknown onger inside her.

When she noticed how bod his tone ond ottitude were, her temper instontly flored up, ond she threw owoy the things in her hond. "Forget it, I won't serve you onymore."

With thot, she shook off Aidon's hond ond went stroight bock to the bedroom.

Aidon wotched her wolk owoy ond felt his temple twitch. Just os he wos obout to follow her, he sow the ice residue inside the trosh ond remembered the box thot Leonno hod blocked from his view not long ogo.
Leanna didn't know if she had lost weight recently, but due to the traditional medicine she had been taking and all the things she had on her plate, she didn't feel like eating much lately.

A few seconds later, she came up with an excuse. "I'm on a diet. It seems like I've made some progress. Haha..."

As she spoke, Leanna met Aidan's gaze again. His expression seemed cold, and his thin lips slightly pursed, showing no response to her joke.

It was quite scary.

Leanna poked his chest with her finger and whispered, "What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?"

After a while, Aidan spoke up. "You said you were hiding something from me. Tell me about it."

While hesitantly withdrawing her hand, she said, "But you also—"

"I've told you everything, so now it's your turn."

Leanna had forgotten about that.

She turned around to get a plate. "It's nothing important, and it's not shocking or terrifying either. Let's just... I don't want to talk about it right now."

But Aidan grabbed her wrist. "Why aren't you participating in Fashion Week?"

Leanna paused for two seconds, then turned to look at him. "A lot has happened recently, and I'm too busy. I don't want to tire myself out..."

"Do you think I would believe that?"

Leanna sighed and retorted, "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

Aidan clearly had no intention of joking with her. His expression was serious. "Speak properly."

It had been a long time since Leanna had seen him behave this way. She knew he wouldn't act out solely because she wasn't participating in Fashion Week.

After giving it a thought, Leanna suddenly realized something. "Did you bump into Zoe? What did she tell you?"

Aidan rebuked, "Don't worry about her and just tell me."

It might be because she was suffering from the pain of taking medicine and getting injections recently that had lost her appetite. Also, she had been suppressing a vague anxiousness and unknown anger inside her.

When she noticed how bad his tone and attitude were, her temper instantly flared up, and she threw away the things in her hand. "Forget it, I won't serve you anymore."

With that, she shook off Aidan's hand and went straight back to the bedroom.

Aidan watched her walk away and felt his temple twitch. Just as he was about to follow her, he saw the ice residue inside the trash and remembered the box that Leanna had blocked from his view not long ago.

He furrowed his brows and went to open the refrigerator.

Besides some fresh fruits and vegetables, there was a white foam box in the corner.

...

After returning to the bedroom, Leanna lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

She felt a surge of emotions overwhelming her.

It felt like there was a fire burning inside her.

She was annoyed.

So, she pulled the blanket over her head and fell asleep.

Leanna didn't know how long she had been half asleep, but she felt someone hugging her from behind.

Though half asleep, she didn't forget that she was angry, so she kicked him and moved away from him.

Soon, the person behind her hugged her again. He held her tighter than before and used his long legs to trap her in his embrace, rendering her unable to move.

That woke Leanna.

She said unhappily, "Let go."

Aidan whispered, "I'm sorry. It's my fault."

Leanna retorted, "When did you have such a realization?"

"I'm sorry for my bad attitude just now. Don't be angry, Honey. Okay?"

But Leanna still refused to talk to him.

Aidan coaxed her, "Let's get up and eat."

"I'm not hungry."

"But I am."

"What does that have to do with me?"

Without replying, Aidan scooped her up in his arms.

Leanna felt weightless for a moment and yelled in shock, then glared at him, "What are you doing?"

Aidan carried her out of the bedroom and brought her to the dining table, where there were all kinds of her favorite food.

Although she had no appetite recently, seeing these dishes made her drool.

After placing her on the chair, he coaxed her, "Eat, or it'll get cold."

Leanna pouted. "Did you invite Jonathan over again?"

Aidan sat opposite her and said lightly, "I bought them."

Hearing that, Leanna paused with her utensils in hand.

Did he buy these?

After glancing at the food on the table, she realized they were all greasy and spicy foods typically sold in small restaurants.

It was hard to imagine that he, a neat freak and picky eater, would go to several places just to buy these for her.

Many of them were dishes he had forbidden her to eat before.

Indeed, eating one's favorite food was the cure for sadness.

After eating, Leanna felt much better and even burped, which rarely happened.

Aidan handed her a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth. "Is it delicious?"

"It's okay." Leanna took the tissue from his hand and wiped her mouth. "Seeing that you made an effort to admit your mistake, I forgive you."

Aidan's lips curled into a smile. "Really?"

Leanna replied, "Yes, after all, I'm not an unreasonable person."

Aidan said, "Since that's the case, let's have a good talk."

Leanna fell silent.

Is it not over yet?

She turned her head and declined, "I don't want to talk."

Then, Aidan sat next to her and held her hand. Leanna wanted to pull it back, but he was holding onto her fingers so tightly that she could not escape.

Aidan insisted, "I know what you're thinking, but you should listen to my point of view."

He continued slowly, "Waylen told me about the umbilical cord blood matter."

Upon hearing that, Leanna suddenly turned to look at him. "How could he—"

"You shouldn't have kept this from me." Aidan's dark eyes fixed on her. "How long do you think you can hide it from me? A few months, or a lifetime?"

His tone was gentle but had a hint of anger and helplessness in it. Leanna choked up as her nose tingled. Feeling a bit aggrieved, she felt tears rolling down her cheeks. "That's not what I was thinking. I said I don't want to talk about it now, but you keep asking... What's the point of knowing when there's nothing we can do?"

Aidan hugged her with one hand and comforted her, "Alright. It's all my fault."

Leanna choked out, "It is your fault!"

While gently patting her back, he asked, "The reason you didn't want to tell me is because you thought I wouldn't agree with it, right?"

Without replying, she buried her face in his chest and sobbed softly.

Aidan said, "This matter is risky, and no one knows what the outcome will be. I disagreed because I didn't want you to suffer so much and end up with nothing."

"But it's irresponsible if we give up without trying."

"Then it's because of my irresponsibility, not yours. So don't feel guilty about it."

Knowing what he was referring to, Leanna muttered, "Don't mention such things. I just want my baby to get better as soon as possible. The rest is your business."
