Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183 Even Grass Is Worth More Than Overdue Affections Elijah could tell that Leanna’s mind was wandering when they were in the restaurant.

Softly, he asked, "Do you not enjoy the food tonight, Leanna?” Upon hearing this, she snapped back to reality and flashed him an apologetic smile.

“That is not it.

It is my problem.

The food is delicious." She didn't know if it was because she had hugged Carly’s baby today that she had been rather dispirited the entire afternoon.

She couldn't help having her mind drift off to the possibility of her own child being as tiny, soft, and cute if she had given birth then. He added hot water to her cup.

“No, I am the problem,” he said.

"I must have scared you by saying that last night." Elijah did think that he had been a little abrupt after he went home and thought about it. But then, he had no reason to go back on his own words since Leanna had already agreed. Lips pursed, she began, "Elijah, I actually—" He smiled and finished her sentence for her, "I am aware that the reason why you agreed to meet me was that you were angry with Aidan." She was slightly startled when she heard his words, but she didn't deny it.

All she said was, “I am sorry.”

“It is alright.

I am happy I can help you this way." Elijah then continued, “Leanna, I don’t know if it’s appropriate for me to say this, but I always thought that you had lived a good life in the past few years.

I thought that you might have already gotten married to Zayn after graduation, but all I got was news of his engagement with Anna." "I felt conflicted the moment I heard the news.

I was secretly happy on one hand but on the other, I couldn’t help but wonder about what happened between the two of you and what you must have felt at that time.

In fact, I have never thought about getting anything.

I was satisfied with being able to see that you were well from a distance.

”

His smile began to fade as he spoke.

"But I found out last night that life these few years hasn’t been easy on you.” The corners of Leanna’s lips raised after she heard that, and she replied nonchalantly.

“That is life.

It is inevitable there are ups and downs.

At the very least, I am happy now.

The rest are all things of the past, anyway." Elijah knew that there hadn’t been any changes to her stubborn and optimistic character.

She had never spoken about the pain she was going through. Leanna had always been a beautiful girl that was constantly swarmed by boys since the time when they were students.

However, she had always smilingly rejected everyone's advances, no matter if the boys were giving her gifts or inviting her to meals. She would go to a convenience store just one block away from the school every day.

Other than it being the place she stayed at the most besides the school, it was also where she got her source of income. Elijah didn't particularly have a strong impression of Leanna at first.

Let’s go.”

Elijah nodded and stood up as well.

He called for a waiter to get him the bill, and then said to Aidan, “Enjoy the food, President Pearson.

Dinner is on me." Aidan only pursed his lips slightly as he grabbed Leanna by her hand. “Please take your hands off me, President Pearson," she coldly demanded. "Don't you love chicken noodle soup? Have some before you go." "Just because I used to like it doesn't mean I like it now." "And just because you don't like it now doesn't mean you won't like it in the future," Aidan refuted. There was no emotion in his voice, but she could tell that it was a double entendre. D*mn b*stard is starting to have fun! Leanna forcefully threw off his hand then.

"I hope you enjoy your dinner." Better yet, I hope your tummy explodes from all the food! She darted out of the restaurant after she said that. After Elijah paid the bill, he turned to look at Aidan and asked, "Don't you think your behavior is ridiculous, President Pearson?" Hearing that, Aidan looked up at the other man with indifferent eyes.

"Nope, not really." "I wonder if you have ever heard the saying that even grass is worth more than overdue affections.” After throwing that out, Elijah nodded slightly at him before he strode away. Just then, the manager of the store came over again.

"Would you still like to have the food served, President Pearson?” “Pack it all up,” Aidan instructed. “Yes, sir.” Jonathan walked in with hurried steps two minutes later and reported, "President Pearson, Mrs.

Pearson and President Parker have left." Aidan only hummed in reply, but he didn’t say anything else. Hearing this, Jonathan further inquired, “Should we follow them?” “No.” Aidan said, "Surely he is only sending her home.

It is not rocket science." What's more, Aidan had already achieved his goal today. Twenty minutes later, the store manager came to him with the packed food boxes.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, President Pearson." After leaving the restaurant, Jonathan knew what to do next even though Aidan didn't say anything—he swiftly keyed-in the address to Leanna's home. At this moment, he suddenly heard a male voice speak in a tone he couldn't decipher from behind.

“Is grass cheap?”

Jonathan had no answer to that.
