Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650 What Are You Up To?

When Aidan saw Leanna standing in a daze, he leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Alright. You don't have to worry about him. He's an adult now. He must push through the mental barriers that stand in his way."

After hearing that, she shook her head in response. "It's not a mental barrier. Jethro is Jethro, and Louis is himself. What Jethro did has no bearing on how Louis acted. Simply put, my brother cannot accept that fact. As a result, he is constantly filled with guilt and believes that his existence was a mistake. He thinks of himself as detestable simply because he is Jethro's son. This is the stumbling block my brother must overcome." Then, she looked into his eyes and spoke after a brief silence. "What if he can't?"

"If he can't, he will be tied down to these things for life and will never be able to move forward."

"Does that mean he is now blaming himself for everything that happened in the past that had nothing to do with him and trying to give up on himself to make amends?"

Meeting Leanna's eyes, Aidan softly hummed after a long while.

"Do you think Louis will be able to free himself from all these once he has done what he thinks he has to do?"

"Maybe."

After another long pause, she uttered, "Okay. I'll try to talk to him."

"Those thoughts have already taken root in his heart. You might be unable to persuade him even if you talk to him."

"I should still try."

After hearing that, Aidan pulled Leanna into his embrace. "That's enough. Your time is up. Now go to sleep."

Then, she snuggled into his chest without another word.

People were naturally good at seeing the big picture when they were on the sidelines, and that was how it has always been. However, it was difficult to persuade oneself of anything when staring down the barrel of one's problem. Who would have guessed her brother was also a character in his own world?

…

After Louis sent Daphne home, she exited the car and said, "You should go home now. It's late."

Then, he looked at her while gripping the steering wheel. "Is your driver going to come tomorrow?"

She did not comprehend his meaning, but she nodded nonetheless. "Yeah."

"See you tomorrow then," he responded.

After hearing that, Daphne waved at him. "See you tomorrow. Drive safe!" After saying that, she entered her house.

Then, Louis watched her figure enter the building before driving away.

After getting off the elevator, she saw a man at the entrance of her house and frowned. "Why are you here?"

The man crumpled his cigarette and responded, "I asked around and heard that your shooting had already ended. Why are you back so late?"

"It's none of your business." While saying that, Daphne was about to use her fingerprint to unlock the door.

Seeing that, the man tried to grab her arm. "Can you please give me another chance, Daphne? I have already divorced my wife. What happened back then was totally out of my control. I didn't know she would be so insane—"

With a blank expression, she uttered, "I have no interest in your family affairs, so please leave. I'm going to call the police if you don't."

Then, the man snickered in response. "I don't mind if you wish to see news about us going to the police station together in the middle of the night."

After hearing that, she furrowed her brows and questioned, "Are you out of your mind?"

"It's none of your business. Now leave!" Daphne snapped.

When the man heard that, he smiled strangely, smoothed his collar, and entered the elevator.

Once he left, she stuffed her lipstick into her bag while turning to Louis. "It's getting late. Drive safe."

Hearing that, he nodded in response.

After saying that, she scanned her fingerprint again, unlocked the door, and shut the door immediately after entering her house.

Then, Louis withdrew his gaze and strode away.

In the meantime, the man was leaning against his vehicle and puffing on a cigarette down in the parking lot. Watching Louis coming out, he teased, "Are you the new artist under Daphne's company? Why did you come to her house in the middle of the night to pass her her lipstick? What are you up to?"

Without answering him, Louis walked up to him.

Seeing that, the man clicked his tongue. "Well, what can I say about Daphne… She's pretty, has a great figure, and is fun to play with in bed. No wonder you've fallen head over heels for—" Before he could finish his sentence, he was struck in the face.

On the other hand, the man couldn't even defend himself before being tackled to the ground and repeatedly punched in the face and body. Faced with such vicious assaults, he was utterly powerless to resist and could only howl in agony. Eventually, a few security guards noticed the scene and pulled them away from each other. After that, the man covered his face and called someone.

On the contrary, Louis stood on the spot with a darkened expression. Glaring at the man with obsidian eyes, he threatened, "I dare you to approach her again."

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?!"

"I'm a worthless nobody, but I reckon you're not ready to die yet."
