Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198 His Sincerity Is Showing When Leanna returned, Zoe had already cleaned the kitchen while Daniel left as well. As soon as the door made a sound, Zoe rushed over toward it and was ready to ask a list of questions. However, all she noticed was Leanna wearing a man’s coat while looking zoned out. Well, I guess this isn’t a good time to ask any questions. When Daphne noticed this, she raised her eyebrows before picking up her handbag. “Okay, I should go too. You girls should rest early.” “Aidan has already left. How are you going back?” Leanna said after retracting her thoughts. “I’ll just take the cab.” Daphne put on her coat, then pulled up the hood before wearing her mask. She looked like she was wrapped like a burrito and asked Leanna while blinking, “Can you tell that it’s me?” Leanna shook her head in response

. “That’s it. I’ll leave first. Bye!” Daphne smiled. “Hey, be careful along the way. Text me when you’re home.” Zoe sent Daphne off. “I will.” After Daphne left, Louis looked at Leanna and uttered, “You…” “I need to go to the toilet.” Leanna let out a cough before bolting away. Louis was left standing as he looked at her back with a frown. At that time, Zoe approached Louis and whispered, “Louis, just let her be. She knows what she’s doing.” “It’s getting late, I’ll leave first,” he replied as he averted his gaze after a few seconds of silence. “Alright. Get going.” After hearing the door close, Leanna poked her head out of the bathroom and asked quietly, “Did he leave?” “Yeah,” Zoe responded as she sat on the couch and stretched. At that, Leanna let out a sigh and walked out slowly. After placing the coat on the couch armrest, she poured a glass of water and gulped the whole thing at once. “What did you two talk about?” Zoe looked at her, awaiting her to spill the tea while hugging the pillow tightly. “Talk… about what?” “I mean the conversation between you and Aidan. Didn’t you guys talk a lot since you’re downstairs for quite a while?” As she recalled what had happened, Leanna’s hand suddenly trembled for a second while still holding the cup. She finally pursed her lips and gritted her teeth before exclaiming, “He is crazy!” “Tell me about it,” Zoe urged. Leanna went silent suddenly. “Zoe, I feel like I’m starting to not know who he is anymore. I thought I knew exactly what kind of person he was, but the things that he’s been doing are confusing me. It’s way out of my expectations and I’m having a hard time digesting all of it,” she confessed as she sat beside Zoe. “Do you think he’s changed?” Leanna’s head shook in response. She did not believe that he had changed, but rather… he had not been as annoying as he used to be and he treated her with affection occasionally. After hearing this, Zoe became interested and nudged closer to her.

“Didn’t I tell you the other day, that bas—I mean, President Pearson is like an elementary school student who’s always doing naive and stupid things to get the attention of the girl he likes. However, based on my observations during this period, he has progressed from an elementary student to a junior high student in terms of dealing with his feelings.” Leanna lowered her head and remained silent. Back then, she had the impression that Aidan’s feelings for her were only for a fleeting moment. If he could like her now, he could also fancy any other women in the future. When his interest toward her faded, everything would return to its original state. However, she did not expect his interest to have persisted so long. Not only did it not fade like she expected, it increased instead. Seeing Leanna stay silent, Zoe added, “Nana, you’re well aware that Aidan loves you deeply, even more deeply than you think.” “Huh?” Leanna appeared dazed. “Didn’t you realize that ever since your divorce, Aidan has been after you all the time? It is better to assume that he is trying to create opportunities to meet you rather than troubling you,” Zoe analyzed. “But…”

“Think about it. He went to Weavside to look for you and even asked you to move to the Castor Villa. Despite the fact that he requested an abortion, he did not pressure you on that either. When you were locked up at the Pearson Family Estate, he allowed me in to visit you. Oh, and the most important thing is that he called off his engagement with Georgina.” “You may be unaware, but the Pearson Group has been impacted by his breakup with Georgina. Although the Crossleys have not explicitly stated it, the companies who sided with them have also more or less rejected their collaborations with Pearson Group. I must still admit that Aidan is very capable; though all these may not have a substantive impact on him, he should be super busy having to look for new partnerships all over again…” Leanna understood what Zoe meant. The most important thing for Aidan right now was to deal with the mess in the company. Despite his busy schedule, he could still find time for her. It was sufficient to prove his sincerity. “I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Let’s hit the sack,” Leanna said while raising her hand to rub her brows. “Hey…” Zoe uttered, “Will you contact Elijah tonight? I believe he must be really hurt from this.” “I’ll give him a call after my shower,” Leanna replied with a nod.

“Okay, I’ll clean up the room.” After half an hour, Leanna pushed open the bedroom door while drying her hair. She sat on the edge of the bed and hesitated for a moment before dialing Elijah’s number. The phone rang for a while but remained unanswered. She slowly placed her phone down before sitting in front of the desk and retrieving a pocket watch from the box. Lost in her thoughts, she stared at the item intently for a while when Aidan’s words suddenly intercepted her mind. Exhausted, she then took a deep breath and plopped on the table. All this time, Leanna had never taken his words to heart as she assumed he was downright ridiculous. Tonight, however, her heart became uneasy and heavy for some reason. She pondered over and over, Zoe’s words do make sense… I admit that I couldn’t figure out why the wedding was called off until tonight. Well, but… it’s not like I had to since their affairs had nothing to do with me at that time, right?

…Right? It was at this moment that her phone suddenly vibrated on the table, interrupting her trance. When she noticed it was Elijah’s caller ID flashing on the screen, she sat up quickly. “Sorry, Leanna, I was in a meeting earlier. What’s up?” he sounded after the call was connected. Leanna paused for a moment before asking, “Oh no, am I bothering you?” “No, the meeting has ended.” “I’m sorry. It was supposed to be a normal dinner tonight, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.” She exhaled a sigh of relief as she apologized. “I should be the one apologizing. I had some pressing matters to attend to and I barely had time to say goodbye to you and Zoe,” stated Elijah.
