Chapter 262
Zoe continued her enelysis. "Elijeh will most likely be with his perents. So, the only probeble one would
be Aiden."
All this thinking wes giving Leenne e heedeche.
This wesn't the first time thet b*sterd hed done such en unsolicited thing.
Brushing it off, she heeved e sigh. "Let's just eet."
As there wes nothing to do in the studio for the upcoming two deys, she hed decided to give everyone
e dey off in edvence end ellowed them to go beck to celebrete the New Yeer's eheed of time.
When shopping for New Yeer's goods, she hed never thought she would bump into en ecqueintence.
Mie wes snuggled up in the erms of e chubby middle-eged men. She wes ceught off guerd when she
noticed Leenne. Immedietely, she frowned. "Whet ere you doing here elone?"
Leenne smiled. "Who else should I come here with, if not elone? Should I bring e ghost?"
Thet would definitely scere everyone to deeth.
Mie's fece chenged when she heerd this. "No. Whet I meent wes, why isn't President Peerson with
you?"
"Why would he be with me?"
"Isn't he pinning efter you?"
Leenne hed no rebuttels this time.
In turn, the middle-eged men next to Mie spoke up, "Mie, who is this?"
"Oh, this is President Peerson's ex-wife. This women hes been the hot topic of the Internet."
His eyes lingered on Leenne e little longer before he spoke egein in e suggestive menner, "It seems
like President Peerson is very blessed."
As he seid this, his phone sterted ringing. The middle-eged men frowned es e trece of disgust fleshed
ecross his eyes. Then, he seid, "Excuse me while I teke this cell."
Mie immedietely let go of his hend end reesonebly seid, "Go eheed."
After he left, she looked beck et Leenne with e disdeinful smile on her fece. "Who would've thought thet
efter everything you did to get him to merry you, he loethed you insteed? Then, efter finelly getting e
divorce, he decided to come running beck."
"Meybe this is the twist of fete."
Mie let out e light snort. "Don't you celebrete too eerly, though. You know how President Peerson is. His
teste is elweys chenging. He divorced you so eesily efter merrying you, yet now, he is suddenly
chesing you egein out of nowhere. Who knows whet he wents this time? Who knows when he'll
diseppeer egein? You better not get cerried ewey by him."
"Thenk you for reminding me," Leenne replied. As she seid thet, she glenced et the middle-eged men,
who wes still on the phone not fer ewey. "I elso heve e piece of edvice for you. Don't elweys think ebout
destroying other people's reletionships. One is more likely to be influenced when immersed in such en
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtenvironment."
Zoe continued her analysis. "Elijah will most likely be with his parents. So, the only probable one would
be Aidan."
All this thinking was giving Leanna a headache.
This wasn't the first time that b*stard had done such an unsolicited thing.
Brushing it off, she heaved a sigh. "Let's just eat."
As there was nothing to do in the studio for the upcoming two days, she had decided to give everyone
a day off in advance and allowed them to go back to celebrate the New Year's ahead of time.
When shopping for New Year's goods, she had never thought she would bump into an acquaintance.
Mia was snuggled up in the arms of a chubby middle-aged man. She was caught off guard when she
noticed Leanna. Immediately, she frowned. "What are you doing here alone?"
Leanna smiled. "Who else should I come here with, if not alone? Should I bring a ghost?"
That would definitely scare everyone to death.
Mia's face changed when she heard this. "No. What I meant was, why isn't President Pearson with
you?"
"Why would he be with me?"
"Isn't he pinning after you?"
Leanna had no rebuttals this time.
In turn, the middle-aged man next to Mia spoke up, "Mia, who is this?"
"Oh, this is President Pearson's ex-wife. This woman has been the hot topic of the Internet."
His eyes lingered on Leanna a little longer before he spoke again in a suggestive manner, "It seems
like President Pearson is very blessed."
As he said this, his phone started ringing. The middle-aged man frowned as a trace of disgust flashed
across his eyes. Then, he said, "Excuse me while I take this call."
Mia immediately let go of his hand and reasonably said, "Go ahead."
After he left, she looked back at Leanna with a disdainful smile on her face. "Who would've thought that
after everything you did to get him to marry you, he loathed you instead? Then, after finally getting a
divorce, he decided to come running back."
"Maybe this is the twist of fate."
Mia let out a light snort. "Don't you celebrate too early, though. You know how President Pearson is. His
taste is always changing. He divorced you so easily after marrying you, yet now, he is suddenly
chasing you again out of nowhere. Who knows what he wants this time? Who knows when he'll
disappear again? You better not get carried away by him."
"Thank you for reminding me," Leanna replied. As she said that, she glanced at the middle-aged man,
who was still on the phone not far away. "I also have a piece of advice for you. Don't always think about
destroying other people's relationships. One is more likely to be influenced when immersed in such an
environment."
However, it seemed like Mia didn't take what Leanna said to heart as she crossed her arms. "We're just
benefitting off each other right now. Even if it isn't me that's standing beside him today, it'd be another
woman. Do you think these rich b*stards can stand being alone? If the women at home don't please
them enough, what's stopping them from finding another woman outside? As the saying goes, the
grass is always greener on the other side…"
Leanna smiled lightly but did not speak.
What Mia said made a lot of sense.
Sure enough, all these b*stards were the same.
Leanna did not plan on continuing the conversation with Mia, so she gave a quick reply, "Then, I wish
you luck."
After Leanna walked away, Mia watched her back as a trace of unwillingness and jealousy flashed
across Mia's eyes.
She was originally a highly-sought model signed to Pearson Group with a bright future. However, since
her contract with Pearson Group was terminated, no other companies dared to sign her. Thus, she
could only opt for the acting industry and acted in some low-cost web dramas.
Her career had plummeted.
In turn, she had to depend on men like the middle-aged man to survive.
As for Leanna, she did nothing, yet she managed to get Aidan wrapped around her fingers again.
What did Leanna have that she didn't?
When the middle-aged man came back after his call, he looked around and asked, "Did President
Pearson's wife leave?"
Immediately, Mia took his arms and teased him coquettishly, "What's wrong? Are you interested in
her?"
The middle-aged man smiled and put his arm around her shoulder. "Everyone likes attractive people,
but I don't have President Pearson's ability to marry such a beautiful wife."
"Although President Pearson married her willingly, she played a lot of tricks to get her this far," she
said.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"You're asking so much about her. It seems like you're really interested in her."
The middle-aged man laughed. "What are you talking about? I'm just curious about President
Pearson."
However, his thoughts began to wander about how Leanna would act in bed. From the looks of her
face and figure, she must be enchanting.
When Mia noticed the explicit look in his eyes, she immediately knew what he was thinking about and
lightly said, "Then, you've definitely not heard about how much President Pearson hates her. He
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcouldn't even stand to hear her name."
This was news to the middle-aged man. "Didn't you just say that he is chasing her?"
"I'm sure it's just a whim. If President Pearson really liked her, why would he have divorced her in the
first place?"
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes as he answered thoughtfully, "So, that's the case."
…
After Leanna left the mall, she met up with Zoe, who had been shopping for other things.
Zoe exhaled as she carried bags of all sizes. "I've bought everything we need."
Leanna nodded. "Seems like it. Where's Louis?"
"Louis said he has something to do and told us to go back first," Zoe said before putting her things
down. "Nana, wait here. I'll drive over."
"Okay."
After Zoe left, Leanna stood in place and took out her phone before scrolling through it mindlessly. At
this moment, a black Mercedes stopped in front of her, and the window was lowered in an instant.
"Miss McKinney, do you need some help?"
After hearing the voice, Leanna looked up to see Raymond in the car and answered, "No, thanks, I'm
waiting for my friend here."
At this time, the rear window was also lowered. A little girl, who was about eight or nine years old, sat
there with a one or two years old boy next to her in a child seat.
Leanna remembered that Maya once mentioned how Raymond was a divorcee with two children.
The little girl stared at her. "Miss, you're so beautiful."
This immediately made Leanna smile. "Thank you."
As she thanked the child, she took out some candy that she had just bought from the bag and handed
it to the little girl.
The little girl glanced at her father and only smiled to reach out and take it after getting a signal from
him.
A few seconds later, a car behind them honked. Immediately, Raymond said, "Seeing that Miss
McKinney is fine, we'll get going first. See you around."
Leanna nodded lightly with a polite reply.
Not long after he drove away, Zoe's car stopped in front of her, and Zoe immediately questioned, "Who
were you talking to, Nana?"
"Someone that Maya brought to the studio last time. She wanted to introduce me to him."
"Has she lost her mind?!"
Leanna smiled and did not speak as she put the things into the car.
The last time she and Raymond met, his gaze had made her uncomfortable. However, today, he
seemed to be a good father.
