Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464

Daniel's nice-looking brows furrowed, possibly due to the sudden light.

Scenes from the previous night flashed through Zoe's mind as she looked at the messy bed sheets and the clothes scattered on the floor.

That sent shivers up Zoe's spine. Am I crazy?

What have I done? She scratched her head, wanting to smack herself against the wall.

Although she always told Leanna that she wanted to flirt and find a playboy for a one-night stand, she was merely saying it for fun.

However, her words had now come true! Why didn't I simply find a random stranger? At the very least, we don't know each other and can go our separate ways after today. But no! It's Daniel here! Sh*t! What am I supposed to do now?

Zoe picked up the clothes on the floor and wrapped them around herself before entering the bathroom, not forgetting to take a clean set of clothes with her.

Hopefully, this man is discreet enough to know that he should leave quietly later, just as a man who has had a one-night stand should. At the very least, if we meet again in the future, we can pretend nothing has happened.

With this in mind, she remained in the bathroom and purposefully made some loud noises to wake him up. Then, while waiting for Daniel to leave, she slowly blew her hair dry in the bathroom.

She stayed in the bathroom for more than an hour before coming out.

Just as she entered the dining room and poured herself a glass of water, a voice echoed from behind. "Good morning."

That completely took her aback. Why hasn't he left?

Zoe was choked by the water and began coughing, but she stubbornly refused to turn her head.

Seeing that, Daniel walked to her front. "Are you going to the studio? I can send you there; I'm going the same way as well."

"Thank you, but that's not necessary. I have other matters to attend to."

Daniel moved his brows slightly when he heard that. "Find a new place to stay in. He might show up again," he said.

Even without him saying, Zoe had already decided to move.

Thus, she replied, "Yes. I'll look for a new place on the internet later."

They both then fell silent. After a brief pause, Daniel stated, "The landlord has not yet rented out the house where you previously stayed with Miss McKinney. Maybe you can…"

"No. I live alone and don't require such a large space."

At this moment, Zoe's phone in the bedroom rang, rescuing her from her awkward situation. She quickly walked into the bedroom, not forgetting to close the door behind her, separating herself from everything outside the room.

Daniel raised his brows when he saw that. He stood motionless for a few seconds before turning around and walking out of the door.

The sound of the door closing echoed. Hearing that, Zoe exhaled a deep breath of relief and collapsed onto the bed, as if all her energy had been drained.

…

A flight touched down at Weavside Airport at 1.00PM.

It was drizzling outside, as it had been on Highside.

When Leanna got off the plane, she felt the air was fresher here.

Weavside was, indeed, a better place to settle in than Highside.

Throughout her journey to Underwood Lane, Leanna gazed out the window, admiring the scenes of drizzling rain falling on the streets.

She turned around and asked Aidan, "Will tomorrow's works go on as planned if it continues to rain?"

"If the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, the work will be delayed for at most two days."

"Are you returning only after the works are completed, or whenever you want?"

Aidan looked at her. "How long do you wish to stay?"

"I'm fine with anything since the studio isn't busy for these few days. If you can't leave, I can stay for a few days longer," Leanna replied.

Hearing that, Aidan raised his brows. "You can't bear leaving me, huh?"

Leanna was stumped for words. This b*stard really has no decent words coming out of his mouth!

At this point, they arrived at Underwood Lane and the car came to a halt at the intersection.

The driver stepped out of the car and went to open the backseat door, with an umbrella in his hand.

Leanna wanted to open the car door, but Aidan grabbed her hand to stop her from doing so. "Wait here."

Then, he got out of the car, took the driver's umbrella, and walked to the other side of the car.

When the car door opened on her side, Leanna saw Aidan standing straight up in the rain, holding an umbrella.

He is indeed eye-catching. At least this b*stard is good-looking enough to make me feel better whenever we fight.

After she got out of the car, both of them then walked side by side down Underwood Lane.

It appeared as if no one was staying there anymore, as there was no sign of any household on either side of the lane. The long pathway was covered in yellow, dried leaves, making the entire place look quiet and lonely.

When they arrived at Naomi's house, Leanna came to a halt.

"Do you want to have a look inside?" Aidan's low voice resonated.

Leanna shook her head in response. "Forget it."

She's no longer here, so it's pointless for me to look around.

They then walked to a nearby small stream. Leanna watched the raindrops fall into the stream, causing ripple after ripple.

This place looked the same as before; nothing had changed.

After standing for a while, Aidan asked, "Where else do you want to go?"

"It's raining; where else can we go? Let's return to the hotel," Leanna answered.

Aidan lowered his head and took a look at his wristwatch. "Okay. I have a meeting at 4.00PM as well. Let's go."

Her eyes sparkled when she heard Aidan say that he had a meeting later.

Great chance. Things will be easier this time since Jonathan isn't here.

When they went back to the hotel, Aidan ordered a meal.

After they finished their meal, the time was just right.

"I'm leaving now. Have a good rest; I'll bring you out tonight," he said.

Leanna stood up together with him. "Where's your meeting?"

"It's in this hotel," he answered. "I'll be back latest 6.00PM."

"I'll go with you. I don't have anything to do here anyway." She added, "I will wait for you outside and won't interrupt your meeting."

Aidan's brows furrowed reflexively when he heard that. Her demeanor now resembled that of her obedient and well-behaved self from three years ago.

Without giving him a chance to consider, Leanna grabbed his hand and dragged him outside. "Let's go now. Your meeting is about to begin; don't be late."

When they arrived at the conference room, she realized that she had previously met with all of the people who were going to have a meeting with Aidan.

Hence, she politely greeted them before turning to Aidan, saying, "I'll wait for you outside."

"Sure."

After a few steps, she turned around and returned to him. "Would you like me to keep your phone?"

"What?" Aidan asked, his voice low.

"I recall you would always hand your phone to Jonathan before attending a meeting. If there is a call for you, I will answer it first and relay the message to you after your meeting has concluded."

Leanna's tone of voice remained constant throughout her sentence. She tried to keep her cool so that her true intentions were concealed.

Aidan pursed his lips when he heard that. It wasn't clear whether he had any suspicions. Without saying a word, he handed his phone to Leanna.

Leanna took it. "Don't be nervous. I'm not going to simply scroll through your phone."

"Well, you won't be able to find out anything anyway."

"Do you mean I can scroll whatever I want?"

She had previously read on the internet that no girlfriend would be able to escape unharmed after looking through their boyfriends' phones.

To that, Aidan slowly said, "Do it as you wish. My password is your birthday."

Leanna was rendered speechless right away. When did this b*stard change his password?

She suddenly felt a little guilty and uneasy.
