Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 238

238

For the entire afternoon, Naomi and Wendy did not retum.

Meanwhile, Leanna was slowly getting the hang of things. She was not as clueless as she used to be during the day when it came to taking care of the baby.

In actuality, the baby slept most of the time. When he woke up, Leanna would either grab a toy and play with him, or get Aidan to make some milk.

Although the b*stard kept a cold expression throughout—albeit full of reluctance—he did not decline for some reason.

The afternoon sunlight shone on his face, and for a dazed moment, Leanna thought she was seeing things

As if they were a family of three and everything was perfectly natural...

Sensing her gaze, Aidan looked at her. "i%at's wrong?"

Leanna pursed her lips and rose to her feet. "Please help me take care of the baby, President Pearson. I'm going out for a bit. "

With that, she did not even wait for his approval before hastily walking out of the yard.

She walked along the street for a few minutes, then came upon the spot where she and Aidan used to cruise around the lake.

She stood under the shade of a tree as she gazed in the distance. Her expression was calm, but her thoughts were unfathomable.

Some time later, footsteps resounded behind her before the slender uplight figure stood next to her.

Leanna took a deep breath. "Why are you here, President Pearson? You're supposed to look after the baby."

"He's sleeping, so there's not much to do. He can't run anyway. " Aidan glanced sideways at her. "If I don't come out, you're the one who's going to run away.'

"I just came out for some fresh air. " She lowered her gaze.

With that, she looked at Aidan again. "President Pearson, can you leave me alone for a bit? I don't want to see you right now. "

He responded indifferently, "Wien have you ever wanted to see me?"

Leanna fell silent.

He had a point, but she was feeling irritable and sullen right now. Just the mere sight ofhim irritated her.

"I mean it. I just want to be alone for now," said Leanna with a solemn expression.

At that moment, someone in the boat near the dock asked in local dialect if they wanted to hop on.

Leanna affirmed, then took two steps down the stairs. Subsequently, she looked at Aidan and reminded, "Don't follow me. Just spare me some kindness. "

Aidan remained silent.

After getting onto the boat, Leanna found herself drifting slowly into the distance. When the man could no longer see her figure, he finally avelted his gaze ever so slowly.

Suddenly, Jonathan popped up out of nowhere, asking in a quiet voice, "President Pearson, do you wish to go after her?"

"No, it's fine," Aidan responded calmly.

He knew what Leanna was

Turning around, he glanced at Jonathan. "I asked you to stay inside, didn't I? What are you doing out here?"

"Madam Fletcher and her friend have returned, " replied Jonathan.

Some time later, he answered a call before infonning, "President Pearson, everything is ready. Do we still proceed with the plan?"

Aidan gazed in the distance, his tone calm as he said, "Tell them to clean it up. I'm not going."

"Understood, sir."

With that, Jonathan left.

In reality, Aidan came to Highside this time to deal with Anna himself.

However, he did not expect to nin into Leanna here.

I guess President Pearson has changed his mind.

On the lake.

Leanna stared into the distance and her expression was mournful.

"Yes. If you got too depressed and jumped into the lake, I can save you quicker. '

Just as she arrived at the entrance to Naomi's house and was about to head in, Aidan grabbed her "Let me bring you somewhere else.

Pausing in her tracks, Leanna mocked on pulpose, "Not the love lock bridge again, I hope?"

"If you want to, we can actually do that. "

"No, thank you!" She gritted her teeth.

Aidan curved his thin lips, then pulled her along and stuffed her into the black Maybach parked at the side.

After a twenty-minute drive, the car pulled up at the jetty.

On the surface of the sea was a cmise ship, which was slowly departing away.

Leanna turned to look at Aidan, slightly confused.

He held the steering wheel Mith one hand as his long fingers lightly tapped on it. "Anna is on that ship."

"Oh, " Leanna answered after a long while.

Aidan looked at the cmise ship and uttered slowly, "Leanna, I'll make them pay for evelything they did to you. "

"Even so, you can't change the ending. " Leanna's expression was calm.

"No one knows how things will end until we've reached the ending. '

Leanna turned around, feeling as ifAidan was hinting at something.

Still, from his way of putting it, he probably would not tell her.

When the cmise ship sailed into the distance, Aidan finally averted his gaze and restarted the engine before stepping on the gas pedal to leave.

On their way back, Leanna leaned against the window and stared dazedly at the lights as their shadows flickered outside.

She had sighed for the umpteenth time when she looked up to see that they had pulled up at the entrance to the old street where the love lock bridge was located.

Leanna Midened her eyes in disbelief as she stared at the b*stard next to her. "President Pearson, you—"

Yet, Aidan's expression was completely earnest. "You wanted to come here, didn't you?"
