I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Has Anyone Ever Said That You Are Shameless Not feeling like going home after coming out of the concert hall, Leanna went on a stroll along the street. After walking for some time, she came to a small playground. Most of the people in the playground were children around two to three years old, running and jumping around with innocent and bright smiles on their faces. Looking at them, Leanna eventually stopped and stood outside the playground, the corners of her lips slowly raised. After a few minutes, the calm voice of a man rang out from beside her. “Is it fun to watch?”

The smile on her face was gone in an instant as she looked away. She then replied in an indifferent voice, “You will never know what I am looking at, President Pearson.” “And how do you know that?” He slid one hand into the pocket of his pants. “Because you wouldn’t be here making sarcastic remarks if you did.” Leanna didn’t want to argue with the man any longer, so she turned around and continued walking. To her surprise, Aidan followed after her rather leisurely. It felt like Weavside all over again. Feeling more and more irritated as she walked, Leanna came to an abrupt stop and turned her head to look at him with a cold gaze. He also stopped the moment she did. With his dark eyes staring intently at her, Aidan raised his eyebrows slightly. “What?” he asked. “Tell me, President Pearson—why do you keep following me?” From his past temperament, Leanna had a feeling Aidan was going to say something along the lines of “Is your name written on the road?”, or “Why can’t I walk here?” Unexpectedly, he only calmly uttered, “You are a gorgeous woman. I am worried that someone with bad intentions will do something to you.”

With that, she fell into a silence that lasted for a whole 30 seconds. She never dreamed there would come a day when she would hear such words coming out of his mouth. Wouldn’t he be the one with the illest intentions? Leanna fumed as she went mute. She could only continue with her walk. Only a few minutes had passed when Aidan spoke from behind again. “Your face turned red earlier, Leanna McKinney. Were you shy?” After a short pause, she muttered, “No!” I obviously was shocked, alright? “Then why were you getting all flushed for?” he asked again. “I feel warm.” “How can you feel warm with so little clothes on?” When she proceeded to ignore him, he asked again, “Did you get all dressed

up and made up just to go on a date with Elijah Parker?” She only continued to ignore him. “Can you tell that he is interested in you?” Leanna finally sucked in a deep breath before she sighed. “What are you trying to say, President Pearson?”

“Don’t tell him yes.” “Why?” she asked with a laugh. “Are you going to give me a weak and flimsy excuse saying you don’t like it, President Pearson?” Aidan stared at her for a moment and only uttered after a few seconds, “No.” “Then there is no reason for you to—” “It is because I like you.” “Oh.” Leanna’s reaction was surprisingly calm. He then pursed his lips and repeated, “Don’t tell him yes.” She let out a soft smile upon hearing that. “Why do you think that I will listen to you? Is there something I should be happy about hearing you say you like me? Or should I buy some fireworks to celebrate this?” “I have no objection if you think that makes you happy.” I almost forgot what a smart-mouth this b*stard has. Leanna was about to leave when Aidan suddenly spoke softly. “I am sorry for everything that happened in the past.” This was the first time that she had heard him say he was sorry in such a tone. Even his attitude seemed sincere. At least he wasn’t trying to escalate the situation by telling her to put the blame on him anymore. Still, she couldn’t understand why. “You don’t need to tell me this,” Leanna said indifferently. “I am just a woman who will do anything to get what I want. How can I possibly deserve an apology from you, President Pearson?”

“I have the final say on whether you deserve it or not,” Aidan growled. Leanna was speechless upon hearing that. D*mn b*stard and his shameless way of apologizing! Not wanting to continue going back and forth with Aidan, Leanna said, “Okay, I will accept your apology regardless of what you are apologizing for. Now that we have reached this agreement, there shouldn’t be a need for further contact between us. May I implore you to stop coming at—” Her view suddenly darkened before she finished speaking, and she felt cold, thin lips pressed against hers, stopping her from continuing her words. She was startled at first, but she quickly reacted by pushing him away. Her eyes had turned red at this point. “Have you lost your mind, Aidan?!” As though relishing the taste, Aidan licked his lips before he hummed, “You are the one who said you would accept my apology.” “Is that all you heard me say?!” “Mhm. I didn’t want to hear the rest.” She had started to think that he was a real lunatic. Not wanting to

continue the pointless banter, Leanna then turned around and stood by the roadside to get a ride. Aidan went and stood beside her as his eyes glanced at the road. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“It will be hard to get a taxi now. Let me send you home, alright?” She only balled her fists without giving him any response. Seeing this, he added, “You can kiss me back if you are angry. I am fine with it anyway. I am not as stingy as you are.” Leanna had no choice but to walk further ahead when she realized that it did seem impossible to get a taxi. The new heels she had on were starting to dig into her skin and coupled with her annoyance, she decided to take off her shoes and hurl them at the person behind her. “Stop following me!” she roared. Aidan managed to grab the shoes as she flung them his way. “Leanna.” He frowned as he stated, “The weather is only 7 degrees tonight.” “It doesn’t matter even if it is negative 7 degrees. I could die a human popsicle, and it still has nothing to do with you!” Leanna was now burning with fury from head to toe. Not only was she not cold, her body felt like a vessel for fire that couldn’t be released anywhere. After she walked a few steps, she suddenly felt a hand wrapped around her waist. The very next second, she was being scooped into Aidan’s arms. However, she looked at him without an ounce of emotion on her face as she deadpanned, “President Pearson, has anyone ever said that you are shameless?” “You are the first person to say that,” he mused. “It is an honor.” “You can get two boxes of fireworks now.” She sneered at that. “President Pearson,” she added quietly. “Even though I don’t know what you are thinking, I can tell you very clearly that I don’t like you, and I never will.” His face remained unchanging even after she said that. “Don’t draw conclusions so fast.” “You only need to recall how much you detested, loathed, and scorned me before we divorced. You will know exactly how I feel about you now.” “It is not the same,” he said. “How is it not the same?”

“I might have been… You still got in bed with me back then.” This was the first time Leanna felt such a strong headache hit her. She didn’t want to refute him at all. Aidan continued, “And even if I treated you like that before, I like you now. No one can guarantee that you won’t be tempted by me in the future.” Leanna’s voice was quiet when she mumbled, “Can you bring that child back to life, Aidan?” When he

didn’t answer her, she smilingly uttered, “What makes you so confidently say something like this if you can’t do that?” Like a dreadful river that couldn’t be crossed, that child was the reason Leanna could never go back to Aidan.
