Chapter 191 I Told You to Stop Moving Needless to say, Georgina's words had made the situation uncomfortably awkward.
Leanna tried to speak up several times,but could not think of what to say. Well, it seems that things are going my way.
Seeing how allegedly chaotic Aidan's private life is, perhaps William would take a step back to reconsider the cooperation.
I guessthe universe favors me afterall, Leanna thought. Aidan narrowed his eyes but remained silent. At that moment, William looked at
Georgina and asked, "May I ask that you are...?" "Hello.
My name is Georgina Crossley.
Nice to meet you!" She smiled and introduced herself. "Hello, Miss Crossley," he greeted and nodded slightly.
"I won't take up more of your time.
I have something to handle, so I’ll leave first," Georgina responded. "Let's go, Mr.Daniel," she added while motioning Daniel to leave. With
that, Daniel took a brief glance at Leanna before nodding and walking away.
"I presume she is Miss Crossley, the daughterof the Crossley Group," William stated after they had left. Aidan averted his gaze and asked,
"Do you know her, Mr.Morris?"
"No, I don't. I've only heard about her," William responded with a smile. After leaving the restaurant and bidding goodbye to
William, Leanna turned her head and could nothelp but glance at Aidan several times. He then met her gaze and his stern facial
features were devoid of emotion. "Do you have anything to say?" he asked. Nervous, she licked her lips before working her
thoughts.
Since you’ve asked, I'll go along. "Like I've always said, you shouldn't treat relationships like a gymmembership that you can just
cancel and leave anytime you like.
Look at you earlier like the cat's got your tongue; you can't even refute when your ex-fiancé is giving youa hard time." "Whom do
you think I did that for?" Aidan queried. "How would I know?" she answered while laughing dryly. "Does Georgina visit you
often?" After a moment of silence, Aidan asked again with the tip of his tongue pressing against his teeth. "I agree with Miss
Crossley's words earlier.
Who are you to interfere with my private affairs now that we're divorced—"
Before she could finish her sentence, a pair of arms hugged herwaist tightly. She lunged forward and landed on his chest.
At that moment, she instantly raised her hand to create a distance between two of their bodies. "President Pearson, what areyou
doing?" Leanna fumed as she frowned. "I didn't answer Georgina because her private affairs have nothing to do with me and I
have no right to interfere," Aidan said solemnly before continuing, "But you are different." "Ever heard of equality? Why should I
be any different?" "Simply because you've been my wife for three years... Or should I say, you've slept in my bed for three years?
Are these two reasons enough? I can give you more if you think it's not enough to make my case." His words rendered her
speechless. She knew he would never say good things about her, therefore, she simply ignored him. However, not far away from
them was Georgina who was standing at the restaurant's entrance staring coldly at the two of them. This b*tch told me she
wouldn't get close to the Pearsons again! So, this is how you wanna play it, huh? You cunning b*tch, thought Georgina as she
averted her gaze and stomped away. On the other hand, Leanna was still struggling to break free from Aidan's hug. No matter
how hard she tried, the b*stard seemed to have no intention of letting loose; instead, his hand tightened around her waist. At this
point, the snow had stopped falling and the street lamps were glowing in orange, adding some warmth to the chilly winter day.
"Don't move," Aidan growled as he locked eyes with her. Why would she stop moving just because he said so? Leanna
continued to struggle while saying, "I won't move if you let me go." To that, he pursed his lips slightly and went silent. After a few
more attempts, she became aware that something was off. No one knew about his biological reaction better than she did. "Are
you insane? What... We're on the streets now!" Leanna froze in place while staring at him incredulously. "I told you to stop
moving," Aidan grunted with his voice, which was a little hoarser than usual. Leanna kept her mouth shut. Classic Aidan, classic
bastard move.
I cannot believe he just blamed it on me. After a short while, he cleared his throat before suppressing the rising heat in his body
and let go of her.
"Get in the car." Leanna did not dare to object any further; she opened the car door, bent down, and hopped inside.
The journey on the way home wasfilled with both silence and a sense of mystery. Jonathan, who was in the front seat, felt the
weird atmosphere and could not help but be intrigued. Now, why are they suddenly all flirty and shy with each other? Weren't
they just fighting like cats and dogs earlier?
Feeling a little stuffy, Leanna rolled down the window and let the cold air in. After ventilating the car, she hurriedly rolled up the
window.
Comfortable with the cold air, she exhaled and subconsciously turned her head over to Aidan, who was looking out the window
with a calm and indifferent expression.
Hiscold and chiseled jawline stood out in the dim light. While she was looking at him, her eyes could not stop themselves from
going down.
As her gaze was drawn to his thighs, she felt like her eyes had been stabbed.
Retracting her gaze instantly, she was now uneasier than before. Aidan looked at her the next second as if he sensed something
was off with her.
"How longwill it take for us to arrive?" She pretended that there was nothing wrong and inquired. "There's accumulated snow on
the road, so I'll be driving slower than usual.
We'll be there in about thirty minutes," Jonathan answered. "Okay, thanks." With that, she leaned against the seat with both
hands on her knees and her back pencil-straight.
After the briefconversation, the strange atmosphere that had been lingering in the car had finally dissipated. "Ignore Georgina if she
approaches you again.
Just let me know if she's bothering you," he reminded Leanna.
"Well, Miss Crossley is not bothering..." she said without hesitation.
At that moment, she turned and gave a meaningful look tohim. In response, Aidan stared back at her coldly. Her lips immediately curled
and she gave him a half-hearted smile. About half an hour later, the car arrived at the apartment downstairs. When Leanna was about to
alight from the car, an epiphany suddenly struck her.
She then turned around and said, "Please wait for a few moments, President Pearson.
I've got something for you." As such, he raised his brows in interest with his mood clearly elevated. After receiving his affirmation, she
quickly exited the car and went upstairs.
Zoe,who was sitting on the couch at home watching TV, looked over when she heard the door open.
"Why did you come back so late, Nana? Why are you dressed in this manner?" Leanna took off her high heels and coat before tyingher
hair into a ponytail.
Subsequently, she went into the room to get changed while explaining, "I'll tell you later, Zoe.
Could you help me retrieve all the jewelry that Aidan sent me? I'll return them all to him right now." "Thatb*stard's downstairs??" she
questioned.
