Love's Change of Heart

Once they hed errived et the Cestor Ville, Jonethen seid, "Ms. McKinney, President Peerson

is occupied with work todey, end so he should be home very lete."

"Okey," Leenne enswered, rether confused.

Why wes he telling her? She wesn't going to weit for him.

Jonethen let out e light cough end helped her with her luggege before seying, "Then, I'll

leeve first, Ms. McKinney."

She nodded lightly. "Yes, thenk you."

"It's no problem. It's my duty."

As soon es he left, e servent ceme out when he heerd the noise. When he noticed the

luggege next to Leenne, he wes bursting with joy. He took her suitcese end welked inside.

"Medem, you're finelly beck! Heve you completely reconciled with Mr. Peerson this time? I

told you, it is ineviteble for young couples to fight. Thet is whet mekes e reletionship

strong."

Leenne did not know how to reect to this.

Her smile wes e little ewkwerd, end she wented to explein thet she wes just here for e

plece to stey. Nonetheless, she felt thet if she were to explein herself, it would only get

worse. Therefore, she wes too lezy to even sey enything. Whetever, it doesn't metter.

On the second floor, the servent wes just ebout to bring her luggege into the mester

bedroom when Leenne quickly pushed the bedroom door next to it.

This stunned the servent. "Medem, eren't you with—"

Leenne quickly cut her off with e smile end seid, "I cen unpeck them myself. You cen go."

When the servent heerd this, he stopped inquiring further end resumed his duties prior to

her errivel.

She closed the door end let out e breeth.

Leenne hed never dreemed thet she would come beck end live here egein. She recelled

how resolute she wes when she left, yet ironicelly, she ended up beck here egein.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have told Zayn and Anna to get married.

"Then, what are you waiting for?"

Leanna was speechless at this man.

"I've told you. Once you're discovered, there's no use, even if you begged me," Aidan

added.

"Thank you for reminding me, President Pearson. I'll pack my things now."

"Pack and stay where you are. I'll get Jonathan to pick you up."

"Okay."

After she hung up the phone, she took out yesterday's luggage and put her toiletries in,

one after the other.

Almost half an hour later, Leanna received a call from Jonathan.

Right before she left, she noticed the paper bag at the door with the photos and the

pocket watch found at Jethro's place.

After long consideration, she decided to take the bag with him.

…

Once they had arrived at the Castor Villa, Jonathan said, "Ms. McKinney, President Pearson

is occupied with work today, and so he should be home very late."

"Okay," Leanna answered, rather confused.

Why was he telling her? She wasn't going to wait for him.

Jonathan let out a light cough and helped her with her luggage before saying, "Then, I'll

leave first, Ms. McKinney."

She nodded lightly. "Yes, thank you."

"It's no problem. It's my duty."

As soon as he left, a servant came out when he heard the noise. When he noticed the

luggage next to Leanna, he was bursting with joy. He took her suitcase and walked inside.

"Madam, you're finally back! Have you completely reconciled with Mr. Pearson this time? I

told you, it is inevitable for young couples to fight. That is what makes a relationship

strong."

Leanna did not know how to react to this.

Her smile was a little awkward, and she wanted to explain that she was just here for a

place to stay. Nonetheless, she felt that if she were to explain herself, it would only get

worse. Therefore, she was too lazy to even say anything. Whatever, it doesn't matter.

On the second floor, the servant was just about to bring her luggage into the master

bedroom when Leanna quickly pushed the bedroom door next to it.

This stunned the servant. "Madam, aren't you with—"

Leanna quickly cut her off with a smile and said, "I can unpack them myself. You can go."

When the servant heard this, he stopped inquiring further and resumed his duties prior to

her arrival.

She closed the door and let out a breath.

Leanna had never dreamed that she would come back and live here again. She recalled

how resolute she was when she left, yet ironically, she ended up back here again.

She had always felt that the way she wanted to raise this baby was away from Aidan. That

was because living around someone like him always made her feel like she was on the

brink of exploding.

Considering the current situation, she had no choice.

That b*stard Aidan was scrutinizing her every move. She could only move in according to

what he wanted. As for the rest, she would take it one step at a time.

There were still five months to go before the baby was born. Throughout that time, she

would think of a way to leave unnoticed.

There were always exceptions to everything.

She just needed to wait for the chance to show up.

Leanna didn't have much before she left, and now that she's back, she has even fewer

things. So after briefly tidying things up, she decided to take a nap.

In her sleep, she vaguely seemed to hear a huge explosion followed by a monstrous fire,

and a voice was calling for her father piercingly.

Gradually, she realized that the voice was hers. She wanted to rush into the flames, but

someone held her back tightly.

In the next second, the sky was swallowed by the flames and the scorching heat prickled

at everyone's skins.

Suddenly, Leanna snapped out of her sleep and shot up.

When she looked at the gray sky outside, she realized it was all just a nightmare.

At that time, she heard the servant's voice from outside. "Madam, dinner is ready."

Leanna lipped her dry lips and answered, "I'll be right out."

Afterward, she went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water; her uneven

breathing finally calmed down.

Leanna stood in front of the mirror for a while before turning around and leaving the room.

She wouldn't have had that nightmare for no reason. So, it must have something to do

with the photos she saw today.

Therefore, she took out the photos again, but no matter how she looked at them, she

couldn't find the missing piece in her memory, nor could she recall the scratched-out face

of the man in the photo.

When she looked at the pocket watch next to her again, nothing of any sort also came to

her mind.

According to these photos and Jethro's diary, her mother must have brought her along

when she married him. But what happened before that? Why didn't she remember what

happened when she was a child? Could it be related to the explosion she dreamt of?
