Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33

How Much Did He Borrow? Leanna froze. He knows everything… Peering at her, Aidan lowered his cold and solemn, “In order to marry me, you used every trick possible in the book; when it comes to our divorce, you did the very same. Leanna McKinney, do you feel a sense of accomplishment whenever I fall for your trap… over and over?” “I’m sorry. I never thought of it like that. I just…”

She lowered her head in response. “Just want to be with Zayn now that he’s back?” “What?” He crossed his legs and continued, “I think you’re dreaming, Leanna. Did you really think that the Barnetts would approve of him marrying a divorced woman?” Before she could even think of a reply for his last question, she sneered at his verbal attacks, “I don’t really get what you mean, President Pearson. So what if a woman is divorced? Does that mean she should be looked down upon? If so, how can a divorced man be so shameless as to cheat his wife even before they were divorced?” “I dare you to repeat that,” Aidan answered. Not foolish enough to argue with him, Leanna only blinked innocently. “Of course, I’m not talking about you, President Pearson. That was just a mere example.” He pursed his lips while trying to suppress his anger. “Did you want to ask me about this, President Pearson?” she asked.

“What else do you think I wanted to ask?” he questioned. “Then… Can you leave after your question? I’m a bit sleepy now.” Why is this b*stard asking so many weird questions? We’ve already divorced for so long now. Does he want to frame me for something else? He’s acting so weird. After Leanna finished, she was taken aback at his emotionless expression. Just as she was about to direct her gaze elsewhere, he held her chin and warned her, “Leanna McKinney, quit thinking so highly of yourself. You should be grateful that I’m not bringing up your past deeds. If you really want to play me for a fool, you’re welcome to try.”

Without waiting for her reply, he proceeded to let her go and left. Lying back onto the bed, Leanna had zero idea as to what line she had crossed this time. Good news was, she could not sleep in peace knowing that the two million she owed him had been cleared within the time limit. She took her phone and tapped on Aidan’s profile before pressing the delete button with no hesitation. Since we have settled all our differences, let’s consider ourselves even from now on. Setting her phone down, she went back to sleep. The next morning, she opened her eyes to the sight of Louis reading by the window. “Louis, why are you here?” Leanna asked him. Turning his head, he replied, “Miss Hart told me that you were sick, so I’m here to take care of you.” “It’s nothing serious.” She sat up and continued, “What about your part-time job?

Leanna stated, “Louis, you should pack everything away once you head back today. Don’t ever return there.” He nodded in agreement as he also had planned to sever his ties with Jethro once he started attending university; for the past two months, he had been slowly moving out his belongings in preparation. In the afternoon, Zoe arrived. Before Louis left, he told Leanna that he would visit again after his night shift. During this period, Jethro had been acting peculiarly, so Louis was afraid that Jethro might go into hiding when the loan sharks came knocking to target Leanna. On the bright side, Zoe brought some good news to Leanna. After yesterday’s show had ended, Mia left silently.

Even though it was her own idea to add in a speech for the award, she canceled it without any omen and became the butt of everyone’s joke. At that, Leanna stated, “Since Aidan threw so many resources at her, this show is nothing but a public announcement to show their support. In the end, they’ll still provide her with what they have promised.”
