Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

I Don’t Want Anything Else “Speak.” In a straightforward manner, Aidan shot his words in a gruff voice. Leanna licked her lips before asking cautiously, “I just found out that my gastric pills are gone. I wonder if I left it in your office…” “No.” Without waiting for her response, he hung up the phone immediately after his brief reply. She was left speechless by his action. He could have simply declined nicely. Why did the b*stard have to be so obnoxious? Although she deliberately referred to her bottle of folic acid as gastric pills, she could not help but think that the b*stard would infinitely assume she was scheming her way to him again by leaving her bottle of folic acid at his office.

I can already imagine his mocking face and tone, Leanna thought as she lay on her bed. For the entire night, worry got the best of her as she was not able to sleep well at all. As such, she woke up early the next morning and went back to the cafe and restaurant to inquire again but to no avail. She could only hope her medicine was dropped on her way home. In the afternoon, she was not idle either. Instead, she scheduled some appointments to visit a few houses as she intended to sign a contract to move in today if she found a suitable one. … At the office of Pearson Group, Aidan sneered as the IOU and folic acid pills next to him drew his attention away from the pile of documents. I can’t believe she described it as her stomach meds. With that thought, he pursed his thin lips slightly and finally took out his phone to dial Leanna’s number after a long time. He was curious to see her expression when she retrieved the ‘gastric pills’ bottle from him as well as to hear some new excuses she could concoct.

When the call was answered, a gentle female voice sounded, “Good day, this is Worthington Hotel. How may I assist you?” Hearing that, he raised an eyebrow. Hotel? I thought she was staying at her friend’s house. Why is she in a hotel? Aidan’s expression changed as he considered a particular possibility and his gaze went cold as if a thin layer of frost covered his black pupils. After hanging up the phone, he rose to his feet and exited the office. Not forgetting to bring the medicine, he retraced his steps back to the table and placed it into his pocket after reaching the door initially. Jonathan quickly followed Aidan upon seeing him. “President Pearson…” “We’re going to Lux Jewelry,” Aidan uttered, with his voice slightly taut. “Yes.” In the midst of their journey while Jonathan was driving, he received a call and his expression turned solemn.

“President Pearson, the Barnetts came to visit the Pearson Family Estate. They are said to be discussing Mr. Barnett and Miss Anna’s marriage.” After a few seconds, Aidan replied, “Head there.” His chilling facial features were devoid of emotion. With that, the Rolls-Royce made a U-turn and drove toward the Pearson Family Estate. … Georgina was among those who visited the Pearson Family Estate this time, in addition to Zayn’s parents and Carly. The Crossleys and Pearsons had known each other for over two generations. Georgina was gentle, quiet, and knowledgeable, so Sienna had always liked her. After Georgina greeted the elders, she knew that such an occasion was inappropriate for her to be present, so she said, “Old Master Pearson and Mrs. Pearson, I went to Europe and bought a few classical records. I’m sure Justin will enjoy it. I’ll give these to him.”
