I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 455
"Uh-huh," Leanna mumbled softly. "What's wrong with you?"
Zoe let out a sigh before saying wistfully, "It's nothing. It's just that Daniel came to me just now and said he's leaving."
Leanna involuntarily frowned at her words. "When?"
"It still needs to be decided. He just said he'll probably leave after Lloyd gets arrested."
"Are you... Stop it!"
Zoe was puzzled. What's going on?
A noise could be heard on the other end. Then, Leanna finally continued, "I mean, no matter what, you've got to talk things
through with him instead of letting him go like this."
"Never mind. It's a good thing that he's leaving, anyway." Zoe lay down on the couch and took a swallow of wine to drown her
sorrows. "I'd better go out with someone younger than me instead. I've got plenty of money for that, after all."
"Zoe, I... Aidan!"
Zoe was rendered speechless. Suddenly, she realized that she might've made a grave mistake. She hastily said, "Alright, then. If
there's anything, let's talk about it at our studio tomorrow. I gotta go! Bye!" With that, she quickly hung up the phone, feeling as
though having saved herself from the brink of mortal danger.
On the other hand, Leanna couldn't help but frown as she turned to look at Aidan. "You're so annoying!"
The man looked up at her. "Don't you get annoyed for having to leave me behind halfway through our business?"
She was at a loss for a reply. Feeling somewhat guilty, she said in a softened voice, "Well, I can't ignore Zoe, right? She has said

that, after all."
He wrapped his arm around her waist, his thin lips pressing down on hers. In a deep and husky voice, he said, "There's no time
to lose, honey."
...
A long time had passed after the ringing of the alarm clock when Leanna woke up the next day. She rolled over, feeling sore all
over. All of a sudden, she regretted moving back in with Aidan. Nobody's gonna be able to stand being like this every single day.
She lay in bed for a while before pushing herself out of bed and entering the bathroom. After taking a hot shower, she felt much
more comfortable.
Aidan happened to have just returned from buying breakfast when she came out of the bedroom. He raised an eyebrow, saying,
"You're up?"
Leanna asked, "Why did you turn off my alarm clock?"
He placed the breakfast bag on the dining table. "Didn't you complain about being tired last night?"
"But I have to go to the studio."
"I asked about it. They said you don't have much work at the studio lately."
She curled her lips. This b*stard is so good at making excuses. She sat down at the dining table, eating the breakfast Aidan had
bought. Halfway through her meal, the voice of the man across from her rang without warning. "Have you made up your mind?"
For a moment, Leanna didn't realize what the man meant. She asked in puzzlement, "About what?"
Aidan's dark eyes were fixed upon her. "Moving back into the Castor Villa, I mean."
Leanna's lips twitched at the mention of this. She gave a dry laugh, saying, "Well, I've got to take my time to think about it, no?
And besides, have you given me time to think about it? It's just... Let's talk about it sometime later."

"Give me a deadline."
She pondered for a moment before venturing, "How about a week?"
He agreed without hesitation, "Okay."
Leanna was rendered speechless. Did he agree that easily? Had I known this would happen, I'd have said I needed a month so
that I could bargain with him.
A smile played across the man's lips when he saw how vexed she looked. "Go on with your breakfast. I'll send you to the studio
when you're done."
"Aren't you going to your office?"
"I'll go in the afternoon."
"Oh," Leanna replied. With that, she lowered her head and continued with her breakfast without saying another word.
...
It was noon when the black Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of the studio. Leanna unbuckled her seat belt, saying, "See you later,
then."
"Uh-huh," Aidan replied. Then, he said impassively, "I'll pick you up this evening."
Leanna replied, "It's really unnecessary to go to such trouble. I can just hail a cab..." However, seeing the man's imperturbable
gaze, she felt she was preaching to deaf ears, so she eventually bit back the rest of her words.
After she got out of the car, Aidan withdrew his gaze and dialed Keaton's number. "She's arrived at the studio. I'll pick her up this
evening, so keep a tab on the time."

Keaton replied, "Roger that, President Pearson." After pausing for a moment, he asked, "Are you sure you're not gonna change
places?"
Aidan replied, "It's not necessary." The Pearsons and Sienna's men have been watching me all this time. If I change places too
frequently, they'll get suspicious. After ending the phone call, he tossed the phone into the passenger seat and drove off.
Half an hour later, his car pulled up in front of the hospital. As soon as he got out of the car, Jonathan went up to him. "President
Pearson."
Aidan strode forward. "How is he?"
"His surgery was completed at six this morning, but he's still in the ICU and is still in critical condition."
Stopping in front of the ICU, Aidan, his expression frosty, looked at the man inside, who was on a ventilator while showing no
signs of life. He asked in an icy voice, "Have they been found?"
"Lloyd and Georgina have yet to be found, but we've found the person who sabotaged Madam's car. According to him, the
person ordering him to do so was... Georgina."
Unsurprised at the answer, Aidan let out a snort. After a couple of seconds, he asked, "Where have you searched?"
"We've searched all properties under the Crossley Group's name and everyone who's had connections with the Crossleys,"
Jonathan explained. Then, he continued, "Also, I have a feeling that they ran away separately, so we've got no choice but to
search for them separately."
"Mm-hmm," Aidan replied, "Just search for Georgina. Someone else will search for Lloyd instead."
"Roger that."
Aidan stood in front of the ICU for two minutes before turning to leave. He ordered Jonathan, "You stay here and wait till he
regains consciousness before going back to the office."

"Alright, President Pearson," Jonathan replied.
...
When Leanna arrived at the studio, Zoe was bent over her desk, letting out one sigh after another. She went over and sat down
across from the latter, asking, "Have you eaten yet?"
Zoe replied listlessly, "I guess I have."
Leanna suggested, "What would you like to eat? Let's go out for lunch."
"All I want to do is drink my sorrows away."
Leanna was lost for words.
Only then did Zoe collect her thoughts and pull herself together a little. "Oh, right, I forgot to ask you something. Have you...
moved back in with that President B*st—no, President Pearson?"
Leanna let out a cough before nodding slightly. "The Crossley Residence has burned down, so I—"
"You don't have to explain it. I understand," Zoe replied. She lamented, "Seems like I can't call you at night as I please anymore."
Leanna chuckled. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a young lady poked her head in. "Zoe, there are flowers for you."
Zoe was startled for a moment. "For me?"
The young lady nodded and came in before handing the flowers to her with a look of envy. "Daniel's so nice to you; he sends you
flowers every now and then. If only my boyfriend were one-tenth as romantic as he is!"
Zoe was stunned. After all, Daniel had said goodbye to her like that last night, so there was supposedly no reason for him to

keep on acting. Seeing a card attached to the bouquet of flowers, she opened it to take a look, only to feel like throwing up at
once.
