Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228

Just when Leanna was about to run away, Aidan stopped in front ofher and picked a pillow up. Then he held her ankle and put it on the pillow.

She reflexively wanted to retreat, but he held her leg. "You're bleeding, " he said plainly.

Leanna looked at her leg to find it looking bloody. Probably happened when I was climbing the boulders. She held a pillow. "And it's your fault."

Aidan said nothing. He took the medical kit from the table behind him and cleaned her wound.

She rested her chin on the pillow as she stared at him quietly.

He looked unusually gentle under the light. Putting everything aside, Aidan was a charming man. Until he opens his mouth.

She finally believed Daphne. All the scandals about him were fake, and he was just playing along. Almost nobody could survive his mockery, after all.

And then he coolly said, "Don't stare at me, unless you plan on staying the night. '

Is sex all he thinks of?

He placed the medical kit back in its place after her wound was cleaned. "It'll take about an hour. " He looked at the time. "You can sleep if you want to. "

She kept her eyes wide open. "Thanks, but I'm not sleepy."

Aidan knew what she was thinking. He chuckled and went into the bathroom.

She heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. It was supposed to be a regular sound, but the overwhelming silence of the villa unnerved her. Her tln•oat was parched so she wanted to get some water, but then she saw his clothes beside her, and there was dust on it.

No wonder he wanted to take a shower. She moved to the other side of the sofa in an attempt to stop hearing the sounds coming from the bathroom. Eventually, the water stopped flowing, and she heaved a quiet sigh of relief.

At the same time, she heard the sounds ofhu1Tied footsteps coming from the entrance. And then Elijah asked, "Are you alright,

Leanna?"

Leanna turned around and saw Elijah and the manager. She nodded. "I'm fine.

Elijah looked at her bandaged leg and frowned. "Let's go, Leanna." He approached her.

Leanna got down from the sofa. The moment her foot hit the ground, the pain made her temples throb. She didn't feel anything before that, however.

Elijah came and held her. He pursed his lips and apologized, "Sorry for this. " Before she could say anything, he carried her in his

Leanna was sulprised. Apparently, she didn't expect that from him.

They were just about to leave, but Elijah saw Aidan leaning against the bathroom's door, wearing nothing but a robe. He was staring at them, and Elijah pursed his lips for a moment before leaving.

Aidan answered coolly, "It's alright. Whether he comes or not won't change the outcome anyway.

Elijah laughed. "It's my fault. I should have paid more attention. The guy who an-anged the venue was bought off. '

Leanna knew what happened was all palt ofAidan's plan, but she thought he wouldn't do anything to anyone who wasn't related to her. She thought wrong. He dragged Constellation into this? That's going to min a lot of people's lives. Damn him. He never thinks about the consequences of his actions.

Elijah noticed her silence, and he clenched his steering wheel tighter. "Pay it no mind. He's the kind of person who would do anything to get what he wants, in business or otherwise. "

The path wasn't too long, and with the obstacles out of the way, they an•ived at the hotel a while later.

Elijah sent her off all the way to her room. "Get some sleep. I'll take you back to Highside tomorrow moming. '

"But the gala only ends in the aftemoon. '

Elijah smiled. "It's alright. The most important event is over. It doesn't matter even if I'm absent tomorrow."

A moment of silence later, she said, "Elijah..

Elijah knew what she was going to say, so he interrupted her. "I'm doing this out ofmy own free will. Don't apologize, and don't feel guilty. All I need is a chance. That's all."

She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but then she saw someone in a white robe emerging from the elevator. His face was inscrutable, and he passed them by Mithout sparing them a look. Then he went into the room next door.

Oh. So, that's why he wanted me to switch rooms.
