Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146 It’s Inappropriate

Leanna opened the door and was about to head downstairs when the servant waiting outside stopped her in her tracks.

“Miss McKinney, there is currently an esteemed guest present here, so you’re not allowed to head downstairs for now. I’ll bring your breakfast to you later on,” the servant mentioned.

As soon as Leanna heard that, she did not pursue the topic any further but merely nodded her head slightly. “Thanks.”

She went back into her room and took a seat in front of the desk before opening her sketchbook. As soon as she flicked past the necklace she had designed for the charity event, her gaze paused momentarily.

Perhaps the necklace had met the same fate as the man in the picture; both had disappeared without a trace. Even if she tried everything she could to recover it, the outcome would be the same regardless.

Right now, her only concern was to leave this place as she did not care about anything else at all.

As for the discussion downstairs…

Although Gordon was significantly displeased with Aidan and Georgina’s engagement, he could not find it in himself to resist such a huge temptation of the immense Crossley Group.

Georgina was the only daughter of Lloyd, so once she married Aidan, the Crossley Group would naturally be taken over by Pearson Group.

This was definitely much better than Barnett Group, who was not actually as well-off as they seemed.

However, Gordon did not expect that Georgina would still agree to the marriage despite the incident from the night before. Furthermore, she came in person to the mansion to discuss the details of the wedding.

Naturally, he was not going to look a gift horse in the mouth as this was a great opportunity.

Furthermore, even if Aidan married Georgina, Gordon had Aidan’s child in his hands anyway. Though this marriage union was disadvantageous to Gordon, the benefits he reaped from it surpassed the loss.

Gordon added, “Since the wedding date has been set, all that’s left are the arrangements for the venue and outfits. It’s not something too difficult, so we’ll be able to handle it to save Lloyd some heavy trouble.”

Meanwhile, Lloyd grunted a few times, seeming to be purposely trying to go along with his words. “Gordon, you’re quite right indeed, but Georgina’s my only daughter and this is a very important occasion for her, so there are some matters that I should deal with personally.”

Georgina sat by Lloyd’s side. “Dad, don’t worry. The Pearsons have been really kind to me so far, so you definitely won’t be disappointed with the wedding.”

Lloyd responded, “Well, it is your wedding after all. I guess it’s alright as long as you’re happy with it.” He continued as he glanced at Gordon before turning solemn, “I’m well-aware that Aidan has been married before, but I’m not going to touch on that as what’s past is past. I just hope that he will treat Georgina well after the marriage and be serious about maintaining their relationship.”

Gordon nodded. “Definitely.”

After Lloyd received a reply, he turned to look at the man who was seated across from him. Not only was the man silent throughout the conversation, he also had an indifferent look on his face. “Aidan, can I have your word?”

To his response, Aidan merely lifted his eyes.

As soon as Georgina saw that, she hastily clung to Lloyd’s arms. “Dad, don’t worry. Aidan will definitely be able to do that.”

At that moment, Justin piped up, “Mr. Crossley, please don’t mind Aidan.”

Lloyd chuckled. “As long as he doesn’t hurt Georgina, he can do whatever he wants and I wouldn’t care.”

It might seem that he was mentioning it quite casually, but in fact, he was skillfully deflecting Justin’s statement. Undeniably, that was also a warning for Aidan.

Justin nodded with a smile. “Mr. Crossley, you’re right.”

Lloyd got up from his seat and said, “Since we’ve pretty much finished the discussion, then I’ll be on my way now. The two of them can decide for themselves about the details of the wedding.”

At that moment, Gordon stood up by clutching his cane and was about to say something when Lloyd continued his sentence. “I heard something along the way here. Aidan’s ex-wife seems to be staying here too.”

As soon as Gordon heard that, his expression turned slightly without an affirmative reply.

Lloyd added, “I’m in no position to interfere with the Pearson Family affairs, but Aidan and Georgina are about to tie the knot in a month, so I don’t think that it’s appropriate for his ex-wife to be staying here. What do you think, Gordon?”
