Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 226

He met her gaze, cocked his eyebrow, and smiled. "Did you regret it?"

She looked away nervously. "R-Regret what?" she stammered.

"Refusing me."

"No. You're reading too much into it"

He looked ahead again. "The look in your eyes tells me otherwise," he said calmly.

Huh. She coughed and stopped talking. Don't wanna say anything wrong. But I'm confused. "Why? Why do you do this? I thought you ran out of patience with me.'

"And you believed that?"

Goddammit, what a pain. He's more brazen than I thought. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm grateful for what you did. I have to admit that I'm surprised and. I'm moved. She didn't say that out loud. A pause later, she continued, "But it's been six months since we got divorced, so—"

He interrupted, "Leanna, don't you see it? I'm trying to woo you.

I must be hearing things. "l beg your pardon?"

He turned around and leaned against the guardrail, his eyes on her. "I'll make it up for the rest of the lost anniversaries too."

Leanna froze. She had no idea what to say at first, but a moment later, she answered, "President Pearson, whatever you're doing means nothing to me. You're disturbing my quiet life."

"None of my business. I don't care."

Aidan asked slowly, "Do you know why you don't care about it?"

She took a deep breath. "It's his private affair I don't have any reason to—"

"Because you don't like him, so you won't care no matter what he does."

Leanna pursed her lips silently.

He continued, "There's no quiet life if you be with someone you don't like."

'Wrong. My quiet life doesn't involve him." She looked at him in silence. "My quiet life involves you not showing up."

Aidan smiled. "Ask what you really want before saying anything.

Dammit_ He just keeps throwing out random stuff Somewhere, somehow, it was no longer hard for him to see through her. He could expose her lies every single time. "l made it clear to you, Presdient Pearson. The problem isn't about love or affection. It's—"

"Not as complicated as you think. You say you were unhappy with the marriage, so I'm making it up to you. Once you calm down and forgive me, then it's all water under the bridge.'

She laughed. "Do you think it's actually that simple?"

No, no it's not He whispered, "I'll settle everything you're worried about"

He grunted but didn't let her go. "What is it with you and stomping on my feet?"

"l would have punched you in the face if I could." She shoved him away. "Now let me go."

"Hey, you're the one who came to me. That wasn't my fault"

She gnashed her teeth. "You tailed me just for this very moment"

"This is the only path downhill. I wasn't following you."

"That would sound more convincing if you weren't holding me."

"I'm not a saint I don't reject a good gift"

That's it She pinched his waist They were married for three years, and she knew all his sensitive spots.

He tightened his hold on her and growled dangerously, "I'll do you right here, right now Try me."

"Oh, I know you'd do that. You're an animal, after all."

He pursed his lips for a moment and let her go in the end.

She sneered at him and kept on going downhill. A few minutes later, she ran into a few boulders blocking out the only path downhill. These weren't here when I came. She turned around. "Is this what you did?"
