Chapter 1298
At dinner time, they went to a hotpot restaurant recommended by Lennon.
Leona seemed to be very dissatisfied with the restaurant. There was an impatient look on her face.
She ate a little and then stopped.
Aleigha, however, enjoyed it. She knew that Lennon did this for her, but she still refused to talk to him.
After dinner, Aleigha left and took a taxi back to the Xiao Residence.
Adrian had been waiting anxiously at home. Just as he was about to go out and look for Aleigha, she came back. Aleigha smiled awkwardly and said, "What, are you afraid I was hitting on young guys?"
"How dare you!"
Adrian chuckled and took her into his arms. "Aleigha, if you dare to do so, I promise I'm gonna imprison you.
"In my bed."
"Pervert! Hey, look. I bought this for you. I was hoping you would like it."
Adrian took the shopping bag from her and put it on the table. Then, he whispered in her ear.
"I like everything you bought for me, but now I feel like we should do something more important. Aleigha, I've been working so hard.
"When can I be a dad?"
Aleigha blushed. She quickly covered her face and said, "Adrian, you rascal! Can you stop talking about this? I'm too young to be a mom." "It's driving me crazy! You know, my parents loved each other even more after they had children. I want my child."
His parents were on a trip again. It was as if their time together would never end.
"Humph. I'm going to take a shower."
Aleigha pushed him away and trotted upstairs.
The next day, Aleigha took Adrian's car to the office. When she arrived, she saw Leona pacing back and forth down her office.
"That is Leona Woods?" Adrian parked the car nearby, rolled down the window and lit up a cigarette.
"Yes. I don't know why she's here again. I want to know what she's up to, so I didn't turn her down."
"Be careful. Meet a client with me at noon."
Aleigha got off the car. Adrian didn't leave until he saw Aleigha and Leona come into the company. "Aleigha, I'd like to invite you to lunch."
"Lunch? I'm sorry, Adrian asked me to meet a client at noon."
Leona was slightly stunned and suddenly grabbed Aleigha's arm. Then, she began to act like a spoiled child.
"Aleigha, take me with you, please. I'm alone and bored. I don't have any friends except you."
"I promise I won't make any trouble, okay?"
Aleigha felt uneasy. "I'm gonna give Adrian a call and see if he's okay with it."
"Go ahead." Leona urged her.
Aleigha took out her phone and called Adrian.
"Adrian, here's the thing..."
"Hello, Adrian. I'm Leona. Can I have lunch with you and Aleigha?"
Before Aleigha could finish her sentence, Leona grabbed her phone.
"I only talk to Aleigha."
Adrian's voice was ice-cold, and there was an undoubted disgust in his tone.
Feeling a little wronged, Leona returned the phone to Aleigha.
"Aleigha, take her with you. Let's see what she
wants to do."
"Okay, I will. See you then."
Aleigha blinked at Leona and said, "He said yes."
Leona was very happy, and there was a smile in her eyes. It seemed that she was not acting.
Aleigha felt that she was getting on with who Leona really was. She thought of a flamboyant figure.
At noon, Adrian personally came to pick Aleigha up. The car he was driving wasn't the one from this morning.
Leona sat in the back seat and was full of curiosity towards Adrian's car. She asked all sorts of questions in a good mood.
Because of Leona, Adrian canceled

to a Italian restaurant he
frequented.
The sound of the piano reverberated through the restaurant, and the three of them sat by the window.
Aleigha sat next to Adrian and Leona sat across from them.
Adrian handed the menu to Leona, his cold eyes softened at this moment.
"Miss Woods, please."
Leona was very happy. She took the menu, glanced around it, and ordered several specialties.
Even though Aleigha was a regular here, she didn't know what the specialties were. Usually, she ate what Adrian ordered. "Aleigha, what do you want?" Leona asked Aleigha.
"I know what she likes." Adrian took
the menu and ordered some of
Aleigha's favorites. In the end, b.net
had the cook make a dessert of her choice.
Adrian's thoughtfulness made Leona really jealous of Aleigha. She

couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect
Aleigha, you're really lucky
"Well, I guess you're right. He is always cold to everyone but me. I'm really lucky."
Aleigha leaned against Adrian, blushing like a little girl in love.
She was showing Leona that there would be no third wheel between her and Adrian.
"I'm so jealous of you. You know what? I always feel inferior to Lennon." Leona looked down, as if she was thinking of something unhappy.
Aleigha and Adrian looked at each other, and then Aleigha said with a smile, "Lennon is a little private, but he is a nice guy. "Leona, how did you know Lennon?"
"I met him when I was working abroad. He was down at that time," Leona answered in a low voice, with her eyes lowered even more. "You used to work abroad? I didn't expect that."
As they talked, the dishes were served one after another. Leona basically ordered the most popular dishes here.
Aleigha smiled and only ate what Adrian ordered.
After lunch, Adrian sent them to Aleigha's company. Leona said she was going somewhere far away and asked if he could give her a ride.
After he agreed, she took the passenger seat.
"Adrian, you and Aleigha aren't married yet?"
"Miss Woods, you might want to ask Aleigha about that. There's a subway station up ahead. You can get off there."
Leona was slightly stunned and smiled. "Well, if you have other plans, I'll take the subway."
Adrian parked the car outside the subway station. Leona got off, and so did he. He called his driver to bring another car.
Leona stood there, but Adrian acted as if he didn't see her. When his driver arrived, he asked him to sell the car Leona had been in.
He didn't look at Leona again even when he left.
As soon as Adrian left, Leona's eyes, which had been clear, dimmed. She murmured, "Adrian, you will be mine."
Aleigha took over Oceanshade and carried on the previous projects.
She was really busy. Leona came to her every day, talking about irrelevant things.
