Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 My Ex-husband Isn’t That Great Either

Leanna wasn’t surprised at the frantic accusations Anna threw at her. After falling silent for a moment, she asked, “Do you believe it, President Pearson?”

“Whether I believe it or not depends on your answer.”

“No, it’s not his.” Leanna didn’t seem to be in the mood for pointless explanations. She merely replied, “President Pearson, you can find out how many days I’ve been pregnant, as well as the time of Zayn’s return from abroad.”

Aidan impassively withdrew his gaze without saying a word.

Leanna opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she thought it was futile to do so.

A few seconds later, Aidan’s voice finally rang. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. It’s not that I believe you; it’s just that I don’t believe Anna.”

Leanna was rendered speechless. What sort of bullsh*t is that?

However, Aidan added, “Leanna, none of the Pearsons are kind.” Including me.

Leanna didn’t refute him. He’s right about that. He’s the worst among them, after all. Still… She whispered, “I think your eldest brother is different from them.”

Aidan asked, “How do you know that?”

“I’ve come into contact with him several times. One’s character can be sensed from their behavior.”

“In that case, why couldn’t I sense from your behavior that you were admired by so many people?”

Leanna was lost for words. Taking a deep breath, she replied, “President Pearson, let’s discuss this on its own merits. Could you please not stoop to personal abuse?!”

Aidan’s lips curled almost imperceptibly. “I’m only discussing the topic on its own merits. What else do you have other than your face? Or are they too stupid to see your heart through the surface?”

“President Pearson, I think that if your opinion on something is different from everyone else’s, then you should consider if the problem is with you.”

“Well then, tell me how I blamed you unjustly.”

Leanna fell silent; she was at a loss for a retort. She had forced him into marrying her after getting pregnant. Not only that, but she had repeatedly asked him for money or used her pregnancy to dare him to divorce her. Even though she might not be as scheming as he thought, all of this had indeed happened.

Aidan let out a noncommittal sneer.

Leanna said, “It’s getting late. Do you still wanna hang around, President Pearson? If not, I gotta go back.”

“As you wish.”

Leanna couldn’t wait for him to say that. “Well then, I gotta go. Goodbye, President Pearson.”

Seeing how she left without looking back, Aidan had displeasure written all over his face. What a heartless woman.

It wasn’t until Leanna disappeared from his sight that Aidan finally withdrew his gaze. However, just as he was about to leave, a figure emerged not far from him. “Aidan.”

…

When Leanna went back and saw that Naomi wasn’t around, she figured that the latter might have gone to meet Aidan, so she went upstairs and returned to her room. She had just finished taking a shower and was about to go to sleep when her cell phone vibrated with a text message from Harry. It read, ‘Leanna, could you come out for a minute? I’d like to have a word with you for one last time.’

She took a deep breath before going downstairs with her cell phone.

Harry was standing by the river with his head down when she came out. Upon hearing her footsteps, he looked up, saying, “Leanna, I’m really sorry for making you come out at such a late hour.”
