I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 576

Aidan didn't get to spend even two minutes in the kitchen before Leanna chased him out.

As he listened to the movements in the kitchen, he had a small smile on his lips as he sat in front of the couch, saying to the child in an extremely patient voice, "Say 'Daddy'."

But the child acted like he hadn't heard anything as he played on his own and ignored Aidan.

When Louis came back with the fruits, Leanna had also plated the food she heated up, then placed it on the table.

Leanna said, "Louis, get Zoe to come over and eat."

Louis put down the fruits. "Okay."

Leanna turned to look at Aidan at the side. "Why are you still here?"

Aidan looked at her in bewilderment.

Leanna said calmly, "You can come whenever you want to see the child. This is your right as his father, but don't even dream about doing anything else."

Aidan's eyebrow twitched a little. "In that case, when can I exercise my rights as a boyfriend?"

Leanna gave him a perfunctory smile, then turned around and entered the kitchen.

Aidan looked at her receding figure, then licked his lips discreetly.

Never mind, we have all the time in the world, he thought.

When Aidan was about to leave, Zoe walked in at the same time. When she saw him, she was both shocked and surprised.

After watching Aidan leave, Zoe briskly walked up to Leanna. "Why is he here? And why is he leaving again?"

Leanna said, "He came to see his son, and he left once he was done."

"Huh?"

Was she entirely sure that he came to see the child and not her?

Zoe said, "It's almost time to eat, but you chased him out just like that. Isn't that too pitiful?"

Leanna didn't reply to that as she said, "The food's ready. Let's eat."

Zoe looked at the food on the table, her attention instantly drawn to the spread. "Nana, why did you get takeaway when you went out in the afternoon?" she asked.

Leanna fell silent.

It took a long while for her to say, "I just felt like it."

Downstairs, as soon as Aidan's figure appeared, Jonathan quickly rushed over to him. "President Pearson, there's something you should know."

"Speak."

"Just now, the receptionist called and told me that someone went to the company to deliver food for us. From their description, I think it must be Madam. However, the receptionist told Madam that we were not at the company, so she took the things with her and left."

Aidan paused for a moment as he remembered the takeaway boxes in Leanna's hand while they were in the elevator.

His eyebrows were slightly raised as he said slowly, "It's her." Aidan didn't get to spend even two minutes in the kitchen before Leanna chased him out. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Jonathan sighed in relief. There was still hope.

Jonathan sighed in relief. There was still hope.

Aidan asked, "Is everything packed?"

"More or less. They can be moved in tonight."

Aidan opened the car door. "Let's go to the apartment first."

In the afternoon, the person in charge of the apartment called him and said that those floors required another renovation.

Some of Leanna's belongings were still there, so he could go over and retrieve them right now.

In the car, Jonathan received a call. "President Pearson, I just received news that Jimmy has bailed Raymond out."

Aidan's expression remained the same as if he weren't surprised by this.

He said, "Raymond knows quite a lot of Jimmy's weaknesses, so it's not a surprise that Jimmy would bail him out."

Jonathan frowned. "But this time, when we investigated the Pearson Family, the person who helped Raymond forge an alibi and threw off our tracking wasn't one of Old Master Pearson's men. There must be someone else behind him."

Aidan said, "The men under Old Master Pearson aren't capable enough. He's also unable to find out any information about the child being alive, including their whereabouts."

"President Pearson, do you mean that it was the force behind Mrs. Pearson who got that information? Did they work with Raymond to set this up?"

"Both Old Master Pearson and Sienna are within control. As soon as they do anything, I will receive news about it right away."

Jonathan asked tentatively, "Is it a new party from outside, then?"

Aidan narrowed his dark eyes. "Where's the person who delivered the share transfer agreement to Old Master Pearson?"

"After arriving at Highside, he only went to the Pearson Family Estate once. There haven't been any abnormal activities from him."

"Don't you think it was too much of a coincidence? Not long after he arrived at Highside, the Pearsons set up a trap and seized the child."

"But he came back to Chiojan only recently. How would he know—"

Aidan tapped lightly on his knee. "Even until now, his history abroad is a mystery and no one knows where he came from. A man like him could actually escape the treacherous Lachstein and come back, then go into hiding in Highside. Do you think he's an innocent bystander who was just on an errand to deliver documents?"

Jonathan was stunned. If John had told the Pearsons about Madam Fletcher and the young master's whereabouts, where had he gotten the information from? More importantly, what role did he play in all this?

"President Pearson, we should—"

"Just wait. He will make another appearance." "Just wait. He will make another appearance."

Jonathan nodded. "Understood."

When they arrived at the apartment, the servant was packing the things in the closet.

Aidan stood in front of the French windows, gazing outside. No one knew what he was pondering.

Half an hour later, Jonathan went up to him and said, "President Pearson, everything is packed. Shall we move them right now?"

Aidan nodded calmly. "Ask them to make it as discreet as possible."

"Understood."

Aidan turned around and noticed the suitcase still in the living room.

It was the one Leanna brought back when she got discharged from the hospital.

Aidan said, "Take this too."

In an instant, the apartment turned cold and lifeless again. There wasn't even the slightest hint that anyone had lived here before.

Aidan went next door and looked at the house filled with things for children.

Jonathan asked, "President Pearson, shall we move these too?"

Aidan's expression didn't change. "What else should we do? Throw them away?"

Jonathan immediately understood what he meant. He got some people to disinfect and pack up all the things, then sent the box of things right up to Leanna's doorstep.

Looking at the huge box in front of her, Leanna didn't even have the chance to speak when the delivery people ran away swiftly.

Zoe came out upon hearing the noise. "Nana, what's going on… Goodness, what's with this huge box? Don't tell me someone hid a corpse in there!"

Leanna raised her brows. She didn't even have to think to figure out who was behind this.

Louis came over and moved the box inside. Then, he opened it with a small knife and took out a small toy.

When the little guy saw that, he immediately crawled over and reached out his tiny hand to grab it, mumbling something as if he were trying to speak.

Louis bent down and placed the toy in the little guy's hand. At the same time, he said, "They've been disinfected."

Leanna fell silent.

Zoe closed the door and walked in, clicking her tongue as she said, "Looks like that b*stard came prepared. He's even targeting this little kid."

Leanna let out a sigh. "I'm going out to buy something."

There were too many toys. She couldn't leave them in the cardboard box, nor could she just empty everything out onto the floor. She had to buy a few storage boxes.

Zoe said, "I'll go with you. It's about time I get in some exercise; I'm getting tired of just lying down for the past few days."

Leanna nodded. "Let's go."
