Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 The Truth Behind The Designer Seated in the back row, Aidan did not even bother to open his eyes as he exclaimed coldly, “Give it to the dogs, then.” Jonathan paused for a moment before reminding Aidan gingerly, “President Pearson, chocolates are poisonous to dogs.” Aidan was caught at a loss of words by that. … Leanna arrived at the Civil Bureau Affairs one hour before the meeting and patiently waited there. She had made an estimation of all the possible scenarios on the road, so she made her way here earlier to avoid being late for the appointment.

The Registration of Marriage counter by the side was filled with blissful and happy couples on their way to embark on their journey as husband and wife. In comparison, the counter for processing divorce procedures was significantly deserted with several couples with numb or angry expressions. Consequently, the staff manning the counter were also feeding off from their energy of misery. Meanwhile, Leanna tried hard to come up with a stiff smile upon noticing the scene in front of her. There was no bitterness or hatred between her and Aidan, but the atmosphere during their registration of marriage had been quite unpleasant previously. As such, she decided that it was time for a change as it would be unnecessary to maintain a vengeful expression during their divorce.

At the thought of this, the smile on her face widened and she was determined to be the happiest person getting a divorce today. Aidan arrived just then and he caught sight of that coincidentally. He paused in his tracks for a moment and directed an indifferent look at her silently. After quite some time, the smile she tried hard to maintain gradually stiffened and disappeared.

She lowered her head to check her watch for the time while complaining under her breath, “B*stard. How can you be late to sign the divorce papers? Even our country’s President is not half as busy as you!” Aidan felt a vein pulsating on his temple and he pursed his thin lips while striding forward on his long legs. After hearing some footsteps, she quickly turned around and her eyes brightened as soon as she saw him. “President Pearson, there you are!” He grunted coldly in response and asked, “Have you waited long?”

“No, I haven’t. I’m quite touched that you would spare some time in your busy schedule to come over and sign the divorce papers. I don’t mind waiting at all.” He noticed the sudden complete change in her character that happened so naturally and became scornful. It’s such a waste of her talents to not pursue a career in acting. They sat down in front of the divorce counter and Aidan shot a look at Leanna, who had swiftly signed her name on the papers without any hesitation. At that moment, he tightened his grip on the pen and suddenly voiced out, “Leanna, I’m going to give you one last chance. Is the pregnancy true?” She paused in her movement and lifted her head to look at him with a smile. “I thought that you saw the pregnancy test report I showed you?” Under the sun, her bright smile felt quite glaring. For a moment there, Aidan could not seem to tell the extent of the sincerity of her smile.

His voice gradually turned cold. “Three years ago, you showed me the same thing too and I trusted you back then.” Suddenly, there was a slight change in Leanna’s expression. The smile on her face waned slightly and she did not even bother to rebuke his words. Instead, she merely said, “You’ve remembered to use protection every single time.” That was exactly the reason why he was unable to tolerate her repeated lies and exploitations. If she had suddenly changed her words and admitted that she had lied to him about being pregnant, then he would easily find it within himself to forgive her once more. However, she was totally unrepentant and repeated the same mistake again. He retracted his gaze and scrawled his name with a flourish on the bottom of the page. After Leanna walked out of the Civil Bureau Affairs, she carefully stored the divorce papers before interlacing her fingers together. With a smile, she mentioned, “Aidan, happy divorce day.” Aidan merely glanced at her expressionlessly. She piped up again, “President Pearson, in order to show that we went through an amicable divorce, shouldn’t you wish me a happy divorce as well right now?”
