Chapter 793 The Matter of Having Children
After finishing their meal, Leanna thought that the desserts served at the restaurant were quite good, so she ordered another portion so that she could bring it home for Zoe.
When they reached the door, Aidan saw her heading toward the neighboring house and grabbed her waist, asking in his low and attractive voice, "Are you leaving me behind again?"
Leanna pushed him away. "Hey, I'm just going to bring some food for Zoe and I'll be back soon."
While slightly raising an eyebrow, Aidan gently brushed away a strand of her hair. "I'll take a shower first and wait for you."
Knowing what he meant, Leanna blushed. How could this b*stard have so much energy? He slept late at night last night, and her waist was still sore.
She pushed him toward the door and ushered him, "Go home."
After saying that, she quickly entered Zoe's house.
In the living room, Zoe sat silently in front of the coffee table, drinking liquor alone.
Leanna walked over and sat next to her. "Zoe, what's the matter?"
Hearing her voice, Zoe looked up and smiled at her. "Nana, did you finish your date with President Pearson?
Leanna nodded and placed the packed desserts on the coffee table. "This is quite delicious. You
should try it."
Rubbing her stomach, Zoe cheered, "That's great. I had some fruit for dinner tonight, and I'm hungry."
As she spoke, she opened the takeout box.
Leanna sat next to her for a while, watching her eat absentmindedly, and asked, "Did Daniel visit you?"
Zoe paused her actions. With no intention to deny it, she nodded.
After a few seconds of silence, she finally spoke up. "He told me that he's going back to Lachstein."
Leanna asked, "What did you say?"
"What else could I say? Of course... I wish him a safe journey," Zoe replied.
Not knowing how to comfort her friend, Leanna could only pat Zoe's shoulder.
Zoe said, "Alright, I'm fine. Haven't I already let go? And I have to say, this cake is really delicious."
Leanna suggested, "If you enjoy it, I'll buy more for you tomorrow."
"No need to go through all that trouble. I'll just order for it to be delivered." Zoe grabbed her beer and offered, "Would you like one?"
But Leanna rejected her, "No. I'm trying to conceive a baby."
"Oh, I forgot about that," Zoe said.
Leanna added, "You should drink less too. You're currently on medication too."
Zoe stuck out her tongue. "It's just for tonight. I won't drink anymore."
Leanna didn't feel at ease leaving her alone because she was already a little drunk, so she stayed by her side.
After a while, Zoe sighed, "Nana, my mom already knows that I broke up with Brandon, and she's on my side this time. The matter with Brandon... is finally over."
"What do you plan to do next?" Leanna asked.
"Next…" Zoe dragged her tone while leaning her head on Leanna's shoulder with the beer in her hand. "I don't know either. Let's see how it goes. I'll take it step by step."
Who could possibly know what would happen in the future?
Leanna stayed with Zoe for the whole night. It was only when Zoe finally fell asleep drunk that Leanna helped her into her bed and covered her with the blanket. Then, she gently closed the door and returned to the next door.
After changing her shoes, Leanna stretched lazily and entered her home.
She had just taken a few steps when she saw a man sitting in the living room, a man who seemed
unsatisfied.
Leanna didn't know what to say.
She forgot about him.
Aidan's face looked displeased as he repeated what she said earlier, "Just bringing her some food?"
Leanna remained silent.
Aidan continued, "Coming back soon?"
Leanna was still silent.
Aidan said, "Look at the time."
Feeling guilty, Leanna didn't argue but sat down next to him and took the initiative to ask, "Why aren't you in bed? You have to go to work tomorrow."
When Aidan heard that, he couldn't hold back his laughter and pinched her chin. His dark eyes were narrowed, "What are you saying?"
Leanna leaned closer and kissed his thin lips. "Alright, it's late, I'm going to take a shower, you should get to bed."
With her being sore in the first place, coupled with the late hour, she no longer had any ideas about other things.
But just as she was about to get up, she was pulled back into a particular someone's embrace.
Aidan wrapped his arms around her waist. His voice was tinged with danger. "Are you playing with me?"
Leanna's eyes flickered slightly as she tried to explain, "I suddenly remembered that I forgot something, I—"
Before she could do anything, she was pressed down on the sofa.
Aidan leaned over her, his nose brushing against hers and gently nudging against hers. "Don't want to have children anymore?"
His low voice went straight into her heart.
She couldn't help but grab the pajamas around his waist and whispered, "Such a thing shouldn't be rushed, especially since you've been busy lately. Let's just... let nature take its course."
Aidan asked, "How is this more important than work?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Leanna fell silent for two seconds before suddenly realizing something. "The reason you came back early today. Is it because…"
Even though she saw through him, Aidan still remained calm, "From now on, I'll come to pick you up at this time every day."
Hearing that, Leanna was both confused and speechless.
Not intending to let her speak another word, Aidan leaned in for a kiss.
Amid her confusion and infatuation, Leanna suddenly had a vague thought. Why did it seem like he was the one who got what he wanted when it was she who insisted on having children?
...
After implementing their plan for having a second child continuously for a few nights, Leanna was really starting to feel overwhelmed.
Every morning, the first thing she did when she arrived at the studio was to catch up on sleep.
During lunch, Zoe whispered, "President Pearson is quite impressive. He can still wake up early to attend meetings at the company."
Leanna's temples throbbed, and she felt a headache coming on.
She often complained about Aidan's excessive energy, not understanding how he was still so energetic every day.
Whenever she used the excuse of wanting to rest, he would retort, "Have you ever seen a woman giving birth stop halfway and push her child back into her womb so that she could continue after she's fully rested?"
Leanna couldn't argue with that and even strangely felt it somehow made sense.
No matter what, it was she who insisted on having another child.
Since Aidan was so cooperative, she couldn't back down now.
However, she wasn't sure if it were because she had been exercising more recently, but she discovered she had regained her appetite and was even eating more than before.
Her previously tired and haggard complexion gradually became rosy again.
Half a month later, "Starry Night" finally announced its brand ambassador, Daphne Shirley.
After the announcement was made, Daphne's fans immediately sent their blessings to "Starry Night's" official Twitter page.
Following the announcement was a jewelry advertisement.
Zoe personally filmed the advertisement. While working at Lux Magazine, she was a somewhat famous photographer and had taken many photos of celebrities for the magazine. The advertisement she shot this time had surprisingly good results.
Whether it was Daphne or the jewelry she wore, every frame and second of the advertisement was incredibly beautiful.
