Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 401

Meanwhile, when Aidan opened the door, he realized that Louis was the only one taking care of the little one. On the other hand, Celia was nowhere to be seen. He took a look at the baby and asked calmly, "Is he asleep?"

Louis nodded. "He fell asleep a while ago."

Aidan demanded, "You should go back to school when Celia returns."

Louis replied, "Oh." Evidently, he didn't take Aidan's words seriously as he stared fixedly at the little one. A moment later, he asked, "When are you going to break it to my sister?"

"You'll find out when that happens."

Louis furrowed his brows. Just as he was about to say something, Celia returned.

She bowed her head. "President Pearson." Then, she also nodded at Louis.

Aidan got up and was ready to leave, but Celia called out to him. He turned around and motioned for her to go on.

After hesitating for a bit, Celia questioned, "When is Ms. Fletcher coming back, President Pearson?"

"She'll be back before 6.00PM." He paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you have any plans?"

Celia quickly waved her hands. "No, I was just asking. I'm worried that no one will be here to take care of the child when I head out to get groceries. It'll be pretty inconvenient…"

Aidan ordered, "Just get someone to send you the things you need."

In reality, Celia's heart had leaped to her throat when she asked the question earlier. Aidan told her a while back that she shouldn't head out unless it was necessary, and she could only ask someone else to get her the things she needed.

Initially, she did as she was told and stayed in the house most of the time. However, after getting to know Raymond, she began coming up with excuses to leave the house. In the past, she met up with the man every three days, but now, she would look for him every day.

Seeing that Aidan did not probe her further, she let out a sigh. "Alright."

Aidan then glanced at Louis. "Let's go."

After they went downstairs, Louis asked, "Where did you find that woman? Is she reliable? Can she take care of the child on her own?"

Aidan replied, "She's not on her own."

Before Louis could speak, Aidan looked around and continued, "There are people everywhere, but you just don't see them. She's only responsible for taking care of the little punk while the others handle the rest."

Louis was too stunned to speak. The little punk? Who in the world calls their son that?

Aidan took a look at the wristwatch and demanded, "Get in the car now. I'll send you to school and attend to my matters."

Louis replied, "There's no need for that. I'm not going to school." Then, he turned around and left.

Aidan directly got into the vehicle and spoke in a dispassionate voice. "I told you to investigate what Celia has been doing. Have you found out anything?"

Jonathan replied, "It seems that Celia has fallen in love. We tailed her on several occasions and found her making out with a man. Whenever she left the house, she would meet up with the man."

Aidan's subordinate informed him that Celia had been spotted leaving the house frequently. With that said, he had personally hired Celia, so she was a trustworthy person. Hearing his subordinate's words, he grunted. "Look for a new caretaker."

Jonathan replied, "We're already doing that, but there are some uncertainties. Also, we're worried that Mrs. Pearson will…"

"I'll let them meet up before Celia leaves and tell Leanna that they're ready to emigrate."

Jonathan couldn't help but think that Aidan's move was brilliant. To a mother, it was a ruthless thing to do. He wondered if Leanna would forgive Aidan if she found out the truth.

…

After Aidan and Louis were gone, Celia headed to the bedroom in a hurry and fished out her phone. "Hello? I suppose I can leave the house in the evening, but it's not certain yet. I'll let you know later."

On the other end of the line, Raymond said, "We haven't met for one week, Celia. Why don't you resign? I can provide for you."

Celia chastised him in a small voice, "What are you talking about? My employers did me a favor in the past. I don't work for them entirely for money. Anyway, they told me that once the issue is settled, I'll be able to resign. That will be six months away at most."

Raymond went on to say, "I miss you very much, though. Why don't you bring the kid to the park? We'll meet up there."

Celia directly turned him down. "No way."

"It's not like the child should be confined to the house for such a long time. He has to get some sunshine once in a while. Look out the window; the weather is lovely. It'll be alright to have a walk outside. Moreover, kids should bask in the sun to produce Vitamin D."

Previously, Celia used to go on frequent strolls with the kid outside, but Naomi was always with her, so she just had to follow them. She had never tried bringing the kid out on her own. After hesitating for a moment, she replied, "Alright. However, I'll have to get permission first."

"Sure. Drop me a message later."

After hanging up the call, Celia didn't dare to ask Aidan directly. Instead, she called the person who had been guarding the house outside. He was Aidan's subordinate, and he was responsible for protecting the child and her.

When Keaton learned that she wanted to bring the kid out to bask in the sun, he didn't think it was a big deal. The sun was indeed bright on this day, so he agreed to it on the spot.

Hearing that, Celia was elated. She put down her phone and got changed. After packing up the child's milk powder, thermal flask, and diapers, she left the place with the kid in a stroller. Soon, she heard footsteps from behind her. It was apparent to her that Keaton was following her.

Whenever she headed out with the little one, Keaton would follow them from a distance to ensure their safety, so she was used to it. Nevertheless, she still sent a message to Raymond while Keaton wasn't paying attention. She told him not to come over as she would look for him when she had the chance.

It was a large park where the parents had fun with the kids.

Celia sat down on a bench under a tree and picked up the child to amuse him.

A while later, she felt her phone buzzing. After reading the message, she put the child back into the stroller and messaged Keaton, saying that she wanted to use the washroom, so she needed him to take care of the child for a while.

Keaton soon stepped out from a shaded place. "Go on."

Celia replied, "Thanks, I'll be right back."

After she rounded a corner, she saw Raymond approaching her. She took his hand in a hurry and said in a small voice, "I told you to wait for me. Why did you come over?"

Raymond looked in the direction where she was coming from and pocketed his gaze with squinted eyes. He placed his hands on her shoulders and replied, "I just couldn't wait to see you."
