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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs 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.
