Love's Change of Heart

Spotting a new animated film with an adorable art style that had just started airing two days ago,

Leanna decided to book two tickets.

…

After finishing the movie and dinner, Leanna felt a little sore in her back, perhaps because she didn't

sleep well the previous night. She wanted to return home, thinking there was nothing else to do at the

mall.

However, Aidan dragged her into a luxury store and randomly pointed out a few pieces. "Except for

these, pack the rest according to her size."

The shop assistants hurriedly went to work at his word.

Leanna tugged on his shirt and said, "What are you doing? I have enough to wear."

He replied, "I was the one who sent you to the Crossley Residence. Do you think that I don't know how

much you brought with you?"

It was true that she only had a few clothes.

"But…"

It didn't mean that he had to go this far.

After selecting the clothes, Aidan took her to the jewelry store next door. When he was not satisfied

after looking around, he said, "Forget it, I'll ask Jonathan to send it to you tomorrow."

Leanna froze before she realized that he was referring to the jewelry she returned to him previously

and blurted out, "Have you done something wrong? Why are you suddenly being so nice to me all of a

sudden?"

However, he seemed unhappy with her words and retorted, "Don't I treat you well enough normally?"

She could not refute, but she still felt that he was treating her a little too well today.

As they had bought so much that Leanna wasn't able to carry everything, Aidan instructed them to

send it to the Crossley Residence.

After leaving the mall, he got into the driver's seat and asked, "Where else do you want to go?"

"Forget it, I want to go home. My back hurts."

At her words, he looked at her with a meaningful gaze. "Your back hurts?"

In other words, he had not done anything the previous night.

Leanna closed her eyes and took a deep breath before reprimanding, "Wouldn't my back hurt after

sleeping on the couch all night long? What kind of nonsense are you thinking all day long?"

Aidan withdrew his gaze, the corner of his lips curling upward.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of the Crossley Residence. Aidan unfastened his

seatbelt and got out of the car while Leanna looked around. "How are you going back?"

"Jonathan will pick me up." Saying that, he turned to look at her. "If not, you can invite me for a drink

inside."

"Goodbye." Leanna went back to the driver's seat and was just about to enter the car when she paused

before saying, "I think I'll wait for Jonathan before leaving."

Aidan trained his dark eyes on her as a smile hovered on his lips. "Worried about me?"

Leanna replied gravely, "I just think that you can be easily mistaken for a thief if you stand out here all

alone late at night like this."

"Will there be a thief as handsome as me?"

At that moment, she suddenly recalled that he had said that even if he was a thief, he would be one

who stole hearts. She couldn't help but laugh at the thought. This b*stard wouldn't even bat an eyelid

when he's saying things like this.

Seeing that, Aidan pressed his tongue against his teeth, his voice lowering as he asked, "What are you

laughing about?"

Leanna raised her eyes to meet his gaze. "Am I not allowed to laugh? I…"

Before she could finish, her lips were covered as he swallowed her smile with his lips.

She didn't expect him to be bold enough to do something like this at Crossley Residence's entrance, so

she reached out and hammered his chest a few times, trying to push him away, but he easily grabbed

her wrist and pressed her against the car door, deepening the kiss.

Then, a blinding light shone at them, and there was a long honk of a car horn. Aidan let go of Leanna

and pulled her behind him to block the light.

Georgina sat before them, watching them with a blank expression. After a few seconds, she got out of

the car and walked up to them, saying indifferently, "Are you sending Miss McKinney back, Aidan?"

Aidan replied, "Is it not obvious enough?"

She took a sharp inhale, her expression turning unpleasant.

Meanwhile, Leanna fell silent. Clearly, Georgina was still not qualified to play mind games with Aidan.

A beat later, Georgina said to Leanna, "Since Aidan is already here, why didn't you invite him inside?"

Leanna smiled faintly in response. "He's busy. He's about to leave soon."

Hearing that, Georgina smiled mockingly. "I assumed that even though I don't have the ability to ask

Aidan to go inside, you'd be different, Miss McKinney. But…"

Aidan drawled, "Since you've already said that, Miss Crossley, I'll make sure to pay a visit another day."

As he spoke, he added lightly, "I was just wondering if Mr. Crossley would welcome me."

Georgina was rendered speechless by his words, not knowing what to say.

Just then, a black Rolls-Royce came to a stop next to them, and Jonathan exited the car before

greeting, "Good evening, President Pearson, Miss McKinney, Miss Crossley."

Aidan looked at Leanna and said, "I'm leaving."

Then, under Georgina's stare, he gently kissed Leanna's forehead.
