I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 You Seem to Have Forgotten Something Leanna was confused. “Regarding the divorce.” “No, thanks. That’s not necessary.” After saying so, she turned around and left without any hesitation. As soon as she walked out of the door, she sensed a hateful look shot at her from the corner, however, she disregarded that and strode off purposefully. After heading downstairs, Leanna asked Zoe for the contact number of the staff in charge of the advertisement today.

After receiving the information she needed, Leanna instantly sent over a copy of the recording. She was not a generally kind person, hence, she was not here to solely bicker with Mia out of boredom this time round; she was determined to settle every score with each person that crossed her path. … Half a month later, the First Love series was officially released and the response from the public was positive. Everyone continuously pestered them to release the other pieces in the series as soon as possible. After several meetings that Leanna had attended, she stated that she was able to maintain her past record of producing three pieces of jewelry each month.

However, Harvey wanted her to relax for the time being. After all, each product would have its own market value and it was fine to just produce new pieces continuously over time. As for this stage, there was a more pressing matter, which was the International Fashion Week held next month. Lux Jewelry was the organizer for the event this year and Leanna was the designer for Lux Jewelry. Hence, if everything went perfectly with this event, then there would be a high chance that her design would be showcased on an international platform.

This would mean that international recognition would garner for her design. However, if this was the case, then not only would Leanna be in charge of the design for the subsequent pieces in the First

Love series, but she would also be in charge of all the jewelry designs in the show. That would inherently mean a significant increase in her workload. Fortunately, Harvey had assigned a personal assistant to her and she could just focus on coming up with new designs. Her personal assistant would deal with everything else related to the fashion show—from communicating with the costume models to the selection of gemstones. For the past few weeks, Zoe was slightly worried to see her working till the wee hours of the day. “Nana, don’t you feel exhausted from working so much? You’re currently pregnant too!” Leanna stroked her baby bump and smiled.

“This little one has been a good kid recently and hasn’t been fussing much, so I’m fine.” Zoe knew that Leanna had been forced to give up her dream of pursuing a career in design three years ago, which was why Leanna was exceptionally appreciative of this opportunity by giving her best foot forward. After a short while, Zoe mentioned again, “Other than focusing on work, you should consider things for yourself too. Zayn has contacted me several times lately. I reckon that he’s very close to appearing at the entrance of our magazine in order to get hold of me. Anyway, you’re already divorced from Aidan and Zayn’s quite persistent, so why don’t you…” Leanna shook her head.

“Things have ended between me and Zayn.” “Why don’t you reconsider him? Give him and yourself another chance.” “Zoe, I’m pregnant right now. Do you think that Zayn would accept being a stepfather?” At that point, Zoe was at a loss for words. She tried several times to say something, but she ended up remaining silent with a torn look. That b*stard Aidan is such a troublemaker even after their divorce! … Inside Patheon Club at the card tables, a person glanced in the direction of the man drinking silently by himself at a corner and whispered his question, “President Pearson seems to be in a foul mood lately. Each time he’s here, he would just be drinking by himself and not join our game at all. What happened?” Being the only person who knew the exact details of the scenario, Oscar replied, “What else could have happened? He’s gotten a divorce.”

As soon as everyone at the card table heard that Aidan had gotten a divorce, they could not contain themselves. The men tried to find out more information out of curiosity while the women were impatient to make a move. “President Pearson doesn’t like his wife, right? Shouldn’t he be happy after the divorce, then?” “Yeah, he’s very happy. He’s happily celebrating by himself, isn’t he?” At that point, the crowd was rendered speechless. Oscar flicked his deck of cards on the table and announced, “I’ve won the game. Pay up, guys.

” While getting bored of winning halfway through the game, Oscar gave up his spot for someone else and took a seat next to Aidan before pouring himself a drink. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you drinking by yourself here everyday? Don’t tell me that you’ve suddenly realized you can’t bear to lose your wife after the divorce.” Aidan paused in his action of lifting his glass and sneered, “You must be delirious.” “Then, what is this that you’re doing right now?” “I seem to have been tricked by her.” Over the past few days, Aidan had calmed down significantly and considered the situation. From the start of Leanna’s request for divorce, she had been the one manipulating the situation—including lying about the second pregnancy. She must have predicted accurately that he would be angered by that, so she had purposely done that to provoke him. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She knew him very well and this was evident by the moves she made. That was also why she got what she wanted and she succeeded in gaining a divorce. Oscar was confused. “Isn’t this great for you? She wasn’t after your money and she didn’t scheme for anything else other than getting a divorce.” Aidan

snorted, “When she needed money, she tried her best to trap me into a marriage. Now that she no longer needs me, she did everything she could to get a divorce. I’m just like an idiot who was tricked repeatedly by her.” There’s no other woman on earth as despicable as Leanna. Oscar racked his brain as he considered the situation. Finally, he came up with a fairly neutral opinion, “Why don’t you pursue her once more, and after restoring the marriage and allowing her to experience some sweet moments, ask for another divorce. That’s the easiest way to get back at her.

” As soon as Aidan heard the words ‘restore the marriage’, he swallowed a lump in his throat involuntarily and tightened his grip on his glass of drink. He found the suggestion to be plausible. He grunted an approval, “She deserves that.” As for Oscar, he thought, What?! I was just cracking a joke. Did he take it seriously?!? As the drunken Aidan arrived home at Castor Villa, his servant noticed his condition and quickly went to prepare a drink for his hangover cure. However, the servant opened the cupboard and realized that there was none left. The servant then revealed the bad news to Aidan, but he was unperturbed. He remained seated on the couch with a finger pressed in between his eyes. Subsequently, he spoke up calmly, “Give her a call.” Two minutes later, Leanna received a phone call from Castor Villa. “Mrs. Pearson, we’ve run out of the drink to cure hangovers…” Leanna pursed her lips and corrected her nicely, “Aidan and I are divorced, so please stop addressing me as Mrs. Pearson. I’m no longer in charge of his hangover cure.”

The servant replied awkwardly, “But then… Mr. Pearson said that the drink you bought is very effective and the others don’t work for him.” Suppressing her temper, she took a deep breath. Of course, it’s effective! I brewed it personally! That b*stard scoffed at it previously, didn’t he? Oh, now, he finally realizes how magically effective it is!? After Leanna calmed down, she took into consideration that they

had gone through an amicable divorce after all, therefore, she gave the servant the entire ingredient list and procedures to make her homemade hangover cure.

However, before she could finish her instruction, someone grabbed the phone away. Subsequently, Aidan’s cold and hoarse voice rang out, “Leanna, you seem to have forgotten something.” Forgotten to kill you off before committing suicide? He continued his sentence slowly, “I’ve got an IOU here from you for the two million you owe me.” At that point, Leanna was rendered speechless for at least three minutes. On the other end of the line, Aidan waited patiently for three minutes too. “I’ll prepare the drink right away and send it over. Wait for me.” After she had said that, she hung up the phone instantly and plopped herself onto her bed. She had nearly forgotten that matter.

Three years ago, after marrying Aidan, she had finally mustered up the courage and asked him for a loan. At that point, Jethro’s debt from the loan sharks had reached an astronomical figure of two million due to the compounding interest.
