Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 578

Chapter 578

At 8.00AM the next day, Maya appeared on time at Leanna's doorstep. She crossed her arms and looked around, saying, "Why did you come to live in this small place? Did Aidan dump you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a tall and slender figure appeared in the house. Immediately, she quieted down and found an inconspicuous corner to stand in, lowering her presence.

Aidan looked at Leanna and asked, "Did you ask for me?"

At this moment, she was speechless. Has he been waiting at the door for this opportunity? Expressionless, she answered, "Go find the person who asked for you."

As he raised his eyebrows, he looked at the breakfast on the table. "Is there breakfast for me?"

"No."

As soon as she replied, he turned to Louis and said, "The driver is waiting for you downstairs. Hurry up."

Louis was speechless for a moment before handing the bottle of milk to Leanna. "I'll leave now."

With the little guy in her arms, she took the milk bottle from him. "Have your breakfast before you leave."

However, he cleared his throat and quickly picked up his things to leave. "I have class in the morning. I'm in a rush right now."

After he left, Aidan sat down at the dining table. "You've made so much food. It's a waste if we can't finish it. I happen to have some free time, so I can help you out."

Hearing that, Leanna scoffed and was about to say something when the little guy in her arms nudged her, his face turning red. It seemed like he had just pooped. Immediately, she looked at Aidan and smirked. Okay. You want to eat, right?

She put the little guy on the couch and changed his diaper. Then, she took a few steps to throw it in the trash can next to the dining table.

This left Aidan, who had just picked up his utensils, speechless.

When she met his eyes, she put on an extremely gentle smile. "Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your taste?"

He suddenly felt that women were really scary, especially when they were angry. Yet, he remained calm and stood up. "I suddenly remembered there's still some work at the company. Enjoy your breakfast."

"Didn't you just say it'd be a waste if we can't finish it?" she asked slowly.

"You can save it and eat it for lunch." After finishing his sentence, Aidan turned around and left in big strides.

As she watched him from his back, Leanna's mood improved significantly, and her lips curled into a smile.
At 8.00AM the next day, Maya appeared on time at Leanna's doorstep. She crossed her arms and looked around, saying, "Why did you come to live in this small place? Did Aidan dump you?"

On the other hand, Maya had already changed the little guy's diaper. Seeing Aidan leave, she moved over to Leanna and looked a bit serious. "Did he go bankrupt?"

At once, her good mood came to an abrupt end. She turned around and looked at Maya expressionlessly.

Maya quickly made a quiet gesture. "Don't worry. I will definitely keep this secret for you. We are already on the same boat, right?"

However, Leanna was too lazy to deal with her. After she told her about the little guy's daily habits, she said, "I usually come back around 6.30PM or 7.00PM, if there's a delay. If something happens in between, you can call me directly. If you want to go out, there will be people following. They will be downstairs. You may not see them, but they will know your every movement."

At that, Maya muttered, "Why does it sound like a spy movie? Is it dangerous?"

"Didn't you say that the child will be alive as long as you're alive?"

"That's just… a metaphor."

"I'll tell you the same thing. No matter what danger you face, as long as the child is safe, you will be fine," Leanna said.

"Okay, I got it. How dangerous can it be during the day? It's not like people are wielding knives and guns in the streets."

As Leanna looked at the little guy playing on the cushion, she walked over to pinch his little face, saying gently, "Mommy is going out. Be a good boy at home, okay?"

She was not sure if the little guy understood that, but he waved his toy a few times at her and muttered something.

Then, she smiled before standing up and saying to Maya, "I'll be leaving now." However, her gaze was fixed on the little guy, and she couldn't bear to move her legs.

At this moment, Maya said softly beside her, "You'll get used to it. When my daughter was in kindergarten, I was just like you. Children change every day. If you don't look at them for a day, it feels like they've changed in some way."

Hearing that, Leanna pressed her lips together and didn't say anything. Not only have I not looked at him for a day, but I've only seen him a few times as he grew up. In my memory, he seems to have always been that little.

When she was in Underwood Lane, if she had observed more carefully, she might have noticed that the little guy was actually sickly, but she just assumed it was because he was a newborn baby.

Compared to back then, he was completely different now. His whole body radiated health and vitality.

Compared to back then, he was completely different now. His whole body radiated health and vitality.

These past few days, she had been thinking a lot while watching the little guy. She could understand why Aidan had initially kept the fact that her child was still alive from her.

During that time, she was emotionally unstable. Not only did she not have the ability to seek revenge, but she couldn't even protect herself. Even if she knew her child was still alive, what could she have done? Give them another chance to hurt him?

Aidan hid the little guy, keeping it a secret from her, the Pearson Family, and everyone else. To a certain extent, it provided the little guy with enough protection to grow up healthy and safe, but… she just couldn't accept it. Every time she was about to find out the truth, Aidan would always casually dismiss her guesses with various excuses. She had even asked him more than once, allowing him to tell her the truth.

After putting her thoughts aside, she took a deep breath and left.

Just as she reached the elevator, Zoe came out of her unit and whispered, "Nana, are you really going to leave the child with her?"

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine." Leanna nodded.

However, Zoe shook her head. "I'm not so sure about that. Since there's not much going on at the studio these days, I'll keep an eye on her. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll take care of things here."

"Okay. Thanks," Leanna replied with a smile.

After she got into the elevator, Zoe entered the adjacent unit. Inside, Maya was using toys to cheer up the little guy, who was pouting and feeling sad because Leanna had left.

As soon as she saw Zoe, she put down the toys and cleared her throat. "What brings you here?"

"I don't think you're reliable," Zoe answered.

Just as Maya snorted and was about to retort, the little guy started crying again. So, she quickly started to comfort him. After struggling for a while, she finally managed to divert his attention.

Seeing that, Zoe arched an eyebrow. "Not bad. You do know how to take care of a child."

"I'm just afraid some people might say I can't even handle such a small matter. Don't tell me that you're here to see me fail. Don't underestimate me."

Following that, Zoe and Maya spent their time glaring at each other.
