Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 317
"Please."
"That's patronizing."
Feeling that her hand was about to cramp, Leanna could not help but roared, "Just help me down first! I literally cannot sound any more sincere than this now."
Aidan answered, "Well, you can try."
What?
Raising his head to look at her with his dark and fiery eyes, "Think carefully. How should you address me?"
B*stard? *sshole? Piece of sh*t?
That wouldn't be appropriate, right?
Sensing her prolonged silence, he added, "If you address me the right way, I'll help you get down."
Leanna withdrew her gaze and felt her heart pounding even faster. She knew what that b*stard meant, but she could not bring herself to say it. Even during their three-year marriage, she had never addressed him that way, let alone now.
During the few seconds she was hesitating, her legs began to tremble and she almost missed a step.
Suddenly, she suddenly felt like she had dug herself into a large hole and Aidan was standing at the bottom of the hole, watching her.
A while later, she quickly whispered something.
With his eyebrow raised, he taunted, "What did you say? I can't hear you."
Leanna's eyes turned red and warm as she bit her lips and slurred an almost inaudible word.
"Honey." She paused for a bit before adding weakly, "Please."
Smiling, Aidan went forward and helped her down. He had tried to get her to call him that in bed the night before yesterday, but she would not say it no matter what.
Later, she fell right into his arms.
While she was leaning against his shoulder, she wanted nothing more than to die with him. It was fortunate that no one was around. Or else, she would regret it to death.
Not far away, Georgina watched this scene with a sneer and left.
When Aidan helped Leanna remove the climbing gear, he still had a smirk on his face. "This is indeed exciting. I'll bring you here again."
There's no more next time! You b*stard can come here on your own!
If she could go back to yesterday, she definitely would not agree to this date.
I must have lost my mind.
While helping her massage her arms, he asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"No. I want to go home."
He turned to a deaf ear and whispered, "You lack training. I said you were weak, but you refuse to admit it."
Leanne pouted and ignored him as she did not want to argue with him.
He then massaged her arms for a while longer before asking, "Alright. Where do you want to go next?"
"Home."
Turning to her, he looked at her with his dark, mysterious eyes. "Are you sure?"
After letting out an awkward laugh, she changed her mind. "No, no. I'm just joking. Let's…"
Before she finished, she suddenly heard cheering from not far away.
She immediately reacted. "What's happening over there? Let's go and see."
That direction was the race track and the race had just finished.
When Leanna and Aidan arrived, they saw Oscar descending the car, taking off his helmet, and praising, "It seems like I have to accept that I'm old. I can't win against you youngsters."
Someone from the side said, "Mr. Woodley, you're too modest. You're using a different car today, that's why you got second place. Otherwise, you're definitely the winner today."
Raising his hand, Oscar replied, "Alright, alright. Say anymore and you'll be exaggerating."
Leanna had not seen anything yet, but Aidan held her hand and pulled her away. "Let's go."
However, he was a step too late.
A distance away, Oscar had noticed them through the crowd and asked while approaching them, "What brings you here, President Pearson?"
While saying so, he saw Leanna and taunted, "So, it turns out you have a female companion."
Leanna finally knew why he wanted to pull her away. The moment Oscar spoke, she knew he was not a disciplined person; he was also the culprit who taught Aidan all those ridiculous things.
After Oscar's greeting, half of the clubhouse now knew Aidan had come over and were all looking at Leanna with probing gazes.
Aidan glared at Oscar, who finally knew he had done something wrong and coughed. Then, Oscar gave his helmet to the man beside him and ordered, "You guys continue on while I accompany President Pearson."
After saying that, he greeted Leanna, "Miss McKinney, it's been a while."
She nodded slightly as a polite response.
After they walked for a while, Oscar looked at Aidan. It was obvious he had something to say.
Pursing his lips, Aidan stopped walking and asked Leanna, "What would you like to drink? I'll get it for you."
"Anything will do."
"Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Then, Oscar added, "Miss McKinney, I'll… I'll be going with him. You can stay here and walk around."
She nodded with a smile. "Okay."
Once the two left, she stood in the shade and called Zoe to ask about her mother's condition.
Zoe replied, "She's feeling better. The doctor said she could be discharged after a few more days. How about you? What are you doing?"
Leanna uttered, "I'm outside."
Hearing that, Zoe probed, "Are you on a date?"
That made Leanna speechless.
How can she guess so accurately?
When Zoe heard that her friend was silent, she knew she had guessed correctly and giggled. "How is it? Where did you guys go?"
Leanna did not know where to begin. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zoe's mother called for her, so they ended the call.
At that moment, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and silently shone down, warming the surroundings.
It seemed like Spring had arrived.
As Leanna was feeling bored just waiting there, she followed the sunlight and strolled around.
However, she had just taken a few steps when grunts suddenly sounded from behind her.
She turned around and saw a horse charging toward her with only a few meters away from her.
There was not enough time to dodge; right before the horse ran into her, she fell into a warm embrace. Then, under the force of inertia, they rolled several times before coming to a stop.
A man's voice came from above her. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Leanna came back to her senses and hurriedly got up. "I'm fine. What about you?"
Aidan was still lying on the ground. He was silent for a moment before answering, "Not good."
Hearing that, she was almost scared out of her wits and quickly scanned his body but was afraid to touch him. "Did you sprain something? Or is it something else? I-I'll call an ambulance…"
Just as she touched her phone, he held her hand. "It's not that serious. I'll be alright if you call me 'honey' again."
That rendered Leanna speechless and so she angrily pushed him.
How can this b*stard still joke around at a time like this?
At that moment, a worker from the horse ranch ran over. When he saw this scene, he was almost scared to death. "P-President Pearson…"
Slowly getting up, Aidan wore his cold and vicious visage. He did not need to say anything because his oppressive aura was so strong that the others felt breathless.
Oscar got hold of the horse and frowned. "What happened?"
