Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 46

After the kiss ended, Anthony left abruptly.

When Leanna wanted to keep her phone away, an indifferent voice came from behind her. "I didn't know that you have an interest like this."

At a loss for words, Leanna decided not to explain anything to him and hurriedly left after chuckling stiffly.

Just as Aidan was about to leave, he stepped on something, and he lowered his head to take a look. The brand of a certain maternal and child product company was printed on the paper bag. Without flinching, he crouched down and picked up the bag.

Meanwhile, after Leanna had left the hotel and wanted to give Zoe a call, it struck her that the latter was in a shoot now. So, she opened the chat window and typed in something, but every time, she would delete it.

The longer time passed, the heavier her heart felt. Zoe and Anthony had been dating for several years, and their relationship had always been very good.

Anthony was a remarkable person and he did not lack admirers, but no matter how women threw themselves at him, he only had Zoe in his eyes.

At that time, there were even people joking that he was Zoe's tail, following her wherever she went, but he was happy about it. However, everything had changed after he went abroad for only a year.

Zoe is still waiting for his proposal. So, does love fade away so easily? Leanna wondered. In the end,

she lowered her phone lifelessly, as she had no idea how she should break this news to Zoe.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly realized that her hands felt a little empty. I should be carrying something in my hands…

Suddenly, she looked down and saw that the baby's clothing she had bought earlier were nowhere to be found. Rooted to the spot in stunned silence for a few seconds, she then slowly accepted the fact that she had left the clothes in the hotel room earlier.

Her head was about to explode. Finally, after one peaceful month, why were the unfortunate events happening one after another? She had totally lost the courage to return to look for her stuff, not to mention the mood to argue with Aidan.

After she returned to her apartment, Leanna laid in bed for a long time. When her emotions had subsided and calmed down, she got out of bed and started designing the necklace for Sienna.

In the evening, a servant from Castor Villa gave her a call. "Madam, Master said that he picked up something belonging to you. If you still need it, then come over to pick it up. Otherwise, he'll dispose of it."

Leanna really wanted to say that she didn't want them anymore, but since that jerk had deliberately informed her, it showed that he had some ideas on his mind again. If she didn't go, it would just deepen his suspicions.

In Castor Villa, the servant placed down the phone. "Master, Madam says that she's coming right now."

"Okay," he muttered calmly. "You can take a rest now."

Nodding, the servant bowed slightly and left.

Loosening his tie, Aidan then picked up the bag on the couch and went to the second floor.

Half an hour later, Leanna pushed open the door of Castor Villa. The lights on the first floor were turned on, but there was no one around.

She pursed her lips and could only go upstairs slowly. Standing outside the bedroom door, she extended her hand and knocked on it. "Are you in there, President Pearson?"

When there was no reply, she suppressed her temper and raised her voice a little. "President Pearson, are you in?"

A few seconds later, a stoic voice of a man came from inside. "Come in."

Pushing the door open, she then took a few cautious steps inside while Aidan came out of the bathroom dressed in casual clothes with his hair wet.

After peering at Leanna, he went straight to the couch, took a seat and pointed with his chin. "That's your stuff."

In hurried steps, she scurried over and held the bag in her arms. "Thank you, President Pearson. I'll be leaving now if there's nothing else. Have an early rest. Good night."

"Hold it right there."

Stiffly, she froze in her tracks, and he lifted his gaze gently. "Aren't you going to explain to me about the stuff in there?"

Holding her body in a stiff position, Leanna told him the lie she had prepared earlier without even batting an eyelid. "Zoe is preparing for a baby, isn't she? As the baby's godmother, it's… normal that I'm buying these things."

Reasonable, well-founded and consistent, her story was so convincing that she almost believed it herself.

Chortling, Aidan asked, "Leanna McKinney, do you really think that I'm an idiot?"

His words made her heart skip a few beats, and she forced the plastered smile on her face. "Everything I said is true, and I can't help it if you don't believe it."

Aidan was quiet, while Leanna's heart drummed against her chest. Unsure of how far his suspicions went, she didn't dare to open her mouth rashly. However, judging from his expression, it didn't seem like he was going to skin her alive. In contrast, there was an inexplicable sense of despondency and gloominess. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Some time passed before he finally asked slowly, "Leanna, do you want a baby?"

When she clearly knew that there was nothing going on between him and Mia and Mia wasn't pregnant as well, Leanna still insisted to divorce him and even lied to him that she was pregnant in order to provoke him.

Hence, Aidan thought that Leanna was most probably testing him at that time. She wanted a baby but he couldn't give it to her, so she threw a tantrum with him and wanted a divorce because of this?

The edge of her lips twitched, and Leanna's heart, which had almost skipped out from her body, fell back to its place. "I don't have such a thought."

"Really?" Aidan asked nonchalantly, as though implying that she shouldn't deny it anymore because he could read her like a book.

Dumbfounded, she then said, "Even if I want a child, it has nothing to do with you, and I don't know why you had to ask me over to ask me about this now. However, I would like to remind you that you're the one who said that you won't allow any woman to be pregnant with your child, including me."

A knot appeared between his brows. "Did I really say that?"

Speechless, Leanna thought, This *sshole really is shameless!

Then, he said, "Even if I said it before, that's the truth. You should know very well that I don't plan to have a child."

"Oh," she muttered. What the hell has this got to do with me?

Hearing the disappointment in her voice, he pursed his lips for a second and added, "At least not for the next two years, but I may consider it in the future."

He would never allow his child to be someone else's puppet after being born, not to mention grow into

a life that was already pre-planned.

"You can discuss this with your future partner, President Pearson. There's no need to tell it to me," Leanna said calmly.

Casting her a disgruntled look, Aidan once again felt that Leanna didn't know what was better for her. He had already made things so clear and even took a step back, but why was she still being so difficult?

Indeed, give this woman an inch and she will take a yard after having a taste of sweetness, he thought.

Although Leanna didn't really understand the dangerous look in Aidan's eyes, she didn't want to ask him about it either, and merely said with a smile, "I won't disturb you then, President Pearson. Good—"

Harshly, he broke her off. "Take all your things with you."

"Huh?" she blurted. What else do I have?

"All the things in your wardrobe. Take all of them away."

"But those aren't mine…"

Basically, all the clothes, bags and shoes in the closet were delivered directly from the stores, and she had literally not used them before.
