Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 I Never Enter Someone Else’s Bedroom

When Leanna woke up the next day, the sun was shining brightly outside the window. She came downstairs with a yawn and caught a faint glimpse of someone sitting in the yard, but she didn’t take a closer look at it. “Good morning, Ms. Fletcher.”

“It’s almost 10:00 AM, which means it’s almost noon.”

Leanna was rendered speechless. She rubbed her eyes, only to realize that the one sitting at the stone table wasn’t Naomi at all. Instead, it was Aidan, who was having breakfast. Startled, she asked, “Where’s Ms. Fletcher?”

“Away.”

Leanna asked in shock, “Why are you here?”

Aidan looked back at her before asking impassively, “Why can’t I be here?”

He’s right. He’s Ms. Fletcher’s son, after all, so it makes sense for him to be here. Wait a minute… Did they make up?

Aidan withdrew his gaze as the look in Leanna’s eyes changed continuously. “Daydream for another while, and you can have lunch right away.”

Only then did Leanna come to her senses and enter the kitchen to get her breakfast.

After sitting down across from Aidan, she finally noticed that he was wearing his white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the collar open. It seemed like he had stayed the night here yesterday.

Naomi’s house had three empty rooms left, but Leanna never thought he would stay the night. Didn’t we need a change in mood or something? She couldn’t describe her feelings as they stayed under the same roof again and had breakfast at the same table.

Aidan put down his spoon. “Could you eat your fill by looking at me?”

Leanna reflexively lowered her head and ate her porridge in small mouthfuls.

Just as she was halfway through eating it, there was a symbolic knock on the door, followed by Jonathan, who came in with a suitcase. “President Pearson, I’ve brought your clothes over.”

Leanna was dumbfounded. Is he gonna stay here for long?

“Mm-hm,” Aidan mumbled. “Put it there.”

Jonathan nodded slightly. After nodding to Leanna in greeting, he turned around and left.

As a result, Leanna choked on her saliva. It took a long time before she finally caught her breath and asked, “President Pearson… aren’t you going back to Highside?”

“What’s the hurry? Do you think the acquisition of this place and the construction of the resort hotel can be finished in a day or two?”

Leanna shut up. Just pretend that I’ve never asked the question.

Naomi didn’t come back throughout the morning. Aidan was dealing with his work in the yard, whereas Leanna had wanted to return to her room to draw some designs. However, as soon as she moved her butt, Aidan asked her to pour him a glass of water.

After this happened several times, Leanna got somewhat angry. “President Pearson, I’m not your servant!”

Aidan didn’t even look up. “Is this how you’re thanking me?”

Leanna fell silent for a moment. Then, she replied, “Please wait a minute, President Pearson. I’ll get it for you right away.” It’s true that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

When it was almost noon, Leanna finally got a call from Naomi, who told her that after the gathering last night, Wendy had organized a trip and dragged a bunch of middle-aged and elderly people to a tourist attraction nearby to have fun. They wouldn’t come back until two days later, so Naomi said, “Leanna, just eat out for the next few days, and don’t quarrel with Aidan.”

Leanna fell silent for a long time. “Ms. Fletcher… have you guys cleared up the misunderstandings between you two?”

“Yeah, they’re almost cleared. Aidan is just stubborn and yet soft-hearted. You and him… Never mind, let’s talk about it when I come back.”

After hanging up the phone, Leanna looked up at the sky and blinked her eyes, but no tears came out. If I have sinned, please let me be punished according to law instead of letting me stay alone with Aidan for two days. After returning to the yard, she said weakly, “President Pearson, let’s eat out. Ms. Fletcher won’t be back until tomorrow afternoon.”

Aidan asked, “Can’t you cook?”

It was already 1:30 PM when they finally ate lunch. Luckily, they had a late breakfast, so Leanna wasn’t very hungry either, but she felt somewhat sleepy while waiting for food to be served.

Just when she could hardly keep her eyes open, Aidan said impassively, “Just go to sleep if you’re sleepy. I’ll wake you up when our meal is ready.”

Upon hearing this, Leanna came round right away. She shook her head with a hollow laugh, saying, “It’s not necessary. I don’t feel sleepy anymore.”

Aidan let out a sneer and ignored her.

Knowing what to do in such situations, the head chef left after the meal was ready.

After they had lunch, Leanna sensibly went to wash the dishes. However, as soon as she got up, Aidan said, “Leave it there. I’ll… let Jonathan wash them in a while.”

Finding his behavior shameless, Leanna said, “I’ll do it. Let’s not bother Mr. Stoll for something so trivial.”

Seeing that she didn’t appreciate his kindness, Aidan replied with a snort, “Whatever.”

Leanna curled her lips and entered the kitchen. She had always had a habit of taking a nap after lunch, so when she finished washing the dishes and saw Aidan talking to someone over the phone, she went upstairs right away without telling him about it. She had just accidentally wet her clothes while washing the dishes just now. As a result, she took a nightgown from the cupboard, but just as she undressed and was about to change into the nightgown, the bedroom door suddenly opened.

Aidan said, “Lean—”

Leanna was rendered speechless. Becoming angry with embarrassment, she grabbed the pillow on her bed and hurled it at him.

Finally, Aidan closed the door.

Leanna quickly slipped on her nightgown and dashed out of her room. “President Pearson, could you please knock on the door before entering someone else’s bedroom?!”

Leaning against the wall next to the door, Aidan looked at her with his head tilted to one side. “I never enter someone else’s bedroom.”
