Love's Change of Heart

Zoe, who was peeling an orange, gave half of it to Leanna. "Are you going to tell that b*stard in

advance? At least he'd be mentally prepared. Otherwise, he would be coming here for nothing, and it'd

definitely piss him off even more."

When Leanna heard this, her face instantly flushed as she stammered, "I-If I do that, won't that mean

I'm actually… his girlfriend?"

All this b*stard does is make people's life difficult!

Zoe seemed to agree with what Leanna said and sighed. "Then, I guess we have no other choice. How

lucky. I want to be caught up in such a situation as well."

Leanna was speechless when she heard this.

After taking a shower and returning to the room, she continued to toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep.

Her thoughts seemed to annoy her.

After an unknown amount of time, she sat up abruptly and reached out for her phone by the bedside.

Then, she dug out Aidan's number. However, when his number was displayed on the screen, she

hesitated and did not dial it.

Just then, the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated, startling her.

When Leanna looked down, the name that flashed across the screen belonged to that b*stard.

In a trance, she almost thought that she was the one who called him.

She held onto the phone for a moment before she slowly answered it. "Is there anything I can help you

with at such late hours, President Pearson?"

"Are you asleep?" Aidan asked in a low voice.

"I was woken up by your call."

"Great. I have something to tell you."

Leanna was a little annoyed by what she said and subconsciously spat, "I already know."

On the other end of the phone, Aidan was silent for a few seconds before he asked, "Know what?"

"I already know that you plan to come to my house uninvited tomorrow night. There's no need for you

to call me in the middle of the night to tell me again," she pressed.

This instantly made him chuckle. "I said I'm going to my girlfriend's house. Are you my girlfriend?"

Sh*t! I fell right into his trap!

In the face of her silence, he spoke again, "That's not what I want to talk about."

"Then, what is it?"

"I'll take you somewhere tomorrow night."

"Where?"

"You'll find out once we're there. You'll love it."

After considering for a moment, Leanna finally decided to tell him. "President Pearson, I have plans

tomorrow night. You should go back home for Christmas. If you really can't, you can celebrate it with

Ms. Fletcher."

Hearing this, Aidan's voice immediately turned cold. "What plans?"

"J-Just plans. I don't need to explain myself to you. It's my own privacy."

"Every time you have plans, other than being with Elijah, what else can it be?"

Annoyed by his aggressive tone, she retorted, "It doesn't matter who I'm with. I'm not doing anything

wrong. What does it have to do with you?"

"Why can't I control you?" He was incredibly displeased by this.

This whole conversation was ridiculous to Leanna. "President Pearson, you don't actually believe I'm

your girlfriend just because you said so, do you? Even in court, the judge has to ask the convict if he

admits to his crimes or not. How can you decide who I am to you?"

"Why are you comparing yourself to a criminal?"

"I—"

Leanna was so annoyed by his careless remarks that she directly hung up the phone. She didn't want

to talk to him any longer.

She regretted telling him her plans. She should have let him come all the way for nothing!

Then, she lay back on the bed, pulling the quilt over her head before falling asleep.

…

Because Leanna would be out with Elijah this evening, she got up early to prepare lunch for Zoe and

Louis.

At 11.00AM, she heard the doorbell and the security alarm ring. Can it be that b*stard?!

Zoe had just come out of the bathroom and walked over to the door. Unexpectedly, she saw Daniel on

the security camera.

Immediately, a frown formed on her face. "What is he doing here?"

"I invited him over," Leanna said when she came over.

Was this man attached to them just because he stayed here a few days?

"I bumped into him in the elevator yesterday. He said that he was still living alone, so I invited him

over."

When she heard this, Zoe pouted and said, "He can enjoy his canned food happily alone. Oh, maybe

today might be the day he has to fast because of his beliefs."

At this point, Leanna did not know what to do with this friend of hers.

Once Zoe opened the door, she immediately turned around and headed toward her room.

Daniel only saw her walk away before he could even say hi, so he asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"Nothing. Maybe she just woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Leanna answered.

He raised his eyebrow and said nothing as he came in.

After sitting on the sofa, Louis came into the kitchen. Leanna immediately pulled him and asked in a

low voice, "Why did you invite him? Don't you know that Zoe and him—"

"It's fine. Don't worry about it."

She retracted her gaze and asked again, "Speaking of which, I didn't get to ask you where you went

yesterday. Did something happen?"

"I just went to meet a friend. Nothing happened."

She pursed her lips and studied him. Seeing how serious he sounded, it didn't seem like he was lying.

So, she did not question him further.

However, it was Louis' turn to ask questions. "I heard from Zoe that you're going over to Elijah's place

tonight."

Leanna was speechless. That blabbermouth!

"I'm just returning a favor. It's not what you think," she answered lightly.
