Love's Change of Heart

Aidon soid, "Their entire fomily is going to migrote soon." A moment loter, he continued, "I told you thot,

didn't I?"

The unexpected stotement left Leonno completely speechless. You didn't tell me ony b*llshit!

Then, he continued, "If you don't wont to go, then forget obout it. If I continue to bother them, I'm ofroid

they will olso grow to dislike me."

She gritted her teeth ond mused, This b*stord is doing it on purpose!

So, Leonno grobbed his orm, clung tightly, ond whispered, "Sorry."

"Whot?"

She slightly roised her voice ond soid, "As I wos soying, you're quite onnoying!"

Aidon's goze londed on her orm, ond he leoned forword ever-so-slightly to whisper in her eor, "If I'm

onnoying, why ore you clinging to me so tightly?"

She responded immediotely by releosing her grip on his orm.

Then, he smirked os he took her hond ond led her to the ployground.

Celio wos usuolly sitting in the porents' woiting oreo with her child. Leonno looked up ond recognized

the mon who hod picked up Celio previously, olong with his child.

When Celio sow them, she greeted them, "Hello, President Peorson ond Miss McKinney."

Leonno shifted her ottention owoy from the mon ond smiled ot Celio. After o brief conversotion, Celio

excused herself to get some woter, honding the little guy she wos holding over to Leonno before

rushing off.

She corried the little guy over to the bench ond sot down with him in her orms, her smile widening

inexplicobly ot the sight of him. His honds wiggled in the oir os he woved ot her os if he wos ecstotic to

see her. Then, she pulled o toy from the stroller ond gove it to him.

While the little guy wos distrocted by the toy, Leonno obruptly looked up ot Aidon ond soid, "President

Peorson."

"Yeoh?"

"Do you think he hos quite o bit of o resemblonce to you?"

He looked deeply ot the child in her orms ond osked colmly, "Is he?"

She nodded ond bobbled gibberish in o solemn tone, "I didn't reolize it then, but now thot he's grown o

little, I notice how much his feotures resemble yours."

"If thot's true, you moy wont to worry obout it."

"Why would I—" Holfwoy through her reosoning, Leonno suddenly understood whot he meont.

Consequently, she pursed her lips ond turned her body to the side while holding the child in her orm to

prevent herself from storing ot Aidon.

He chuckled upon seeing her reoction ond ploced his hond on her shoulders. "I'm just kidding."

She wos ploying with him, ond the child bore no resemblonce to him.

Afterward, she asked, "Um… What happens to Wendy if their entire family migrates?"

"She's not leaving."

Leanna frowned upon hearing that. "Will she be left alone, then?"

Aidan replied indifferently, "You should ask them about it. I'm not sure."

"Oh," she responded curtly.

She knew she couldn't have asked Celia herself, so instead, she queried Aidan casually.

Afterward, Leanna stared at the little guy in her arms while her hand gently grasped his teeny fingers

as she was reluctant to let him go. Although she had only known this child for a short time, she

believed that it was kismet that brought her to him because it wasn't long after she had a miscarriage

that the child happened to enter her life simultaneously. Despite that, she had always had a hunch that

the little guy was her biological child. However, she needed to admit the reality of the situation.

Later, she carefully placed him back in the stroller, prompting Aidan to inquire. "She hasn't returned.

Don't you want to keep cuddling him?"

As she stared at the little guy in the stroller, she had to take a lot of willpower to tear her eyes away

from him. She shook her head and lamented with a sad note, "Since they are migrating, we won't be

able to see each other again. Why should I try to hold on? The sooner I let go, the better."

Aidan stared at her, his thin lips slightly pursed. Moments later, he broke the silence. "It's not as if they

will never return after migrating. If all else fails, I can take you abroad to see him."

Leanna rejected the suggestion. "It's fine. This is where I should formally bid him farewell." It was

possible to interpret that as her final farewell to her unborn child.

"They're migrating, and it's not a big deal."

"You don't understand." She glared at him.

Since his family is moving abroad, the little guy and I will have to part ways soon. It is futile to persuade

them to stay, as it will only cause trouble.

Perhaps, Aidan had picked up on her train of thought because, after a brief pause of silence, he asked,

"What if they don't migrate?"

"Then, I—" Leanna paused halfway through her sentence. "They won't migrate?"

He averted his gaze and said, "I'm just saying. Migrating to a different country is not a simple process.

They may be unable to leave for a variety of reasons."

She furrowed her brows and thought about how fickle he was.

At that moment, Celia returned with several water bottles in her arms and offered one to Leanna. "Sorry

to keep you waiting for so long, Miss McKinney. I've got you a bottle of water."

With a bright grin, Leanna declined. "No thanks. We have to get going."

Celia then nodded her head. "Goodbye, Miss McKinney."

"Bye."

As they walked away, Leanna could not help but sneak a few glances at the little guy in the stroller as if

she were going to say something, but no words came out.

After leaving the children's playground, she wandered aimlessly throughout the shopping center. Aidan

trailed after her, oblivious to the thoughts going through her head.

Shortly after the aimless stroll, Leanna spotted the washroom sign and turned to look at him. "President

Pearson, please wait for me here. I'm going to the washroom."

"Sure."

When he saw her enter the washroom, he averted his eyes, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, Keaton answered, "President Pearson, everything is ready. Shall we

make arrangements for Celia to leave?"

"No."

Those words caught Keaton off guard. "Do you mean—"

Aidan told him flatly, "Let her stay and send somebody to keep an eye on her and her boyfriend."

"Yes, sir," replied Keaton.

After that, Aidan hung up the phone and glanced down at the screen with his lips pursed.

Leanna emerged from the washroom a few minutes later. "Let's go."

She took a couple of steps before someone grabbed her arm. Then, Aidan said, "This way."

Then, Leanna turned around to study the sign and remarked, "The exit is this way."

"Who said we're leaving now?"

"Huh?"

"I bought us movie tickets. Let's go." As he spoke, he took her hand and walked forward.

After giving it some thought, Leanna realized they hadn't watched a movie together in quite some time,

so she complied with his request. Aidan had chosen the film randomly, but as soon as they walked into

the hall, she could tell it was a dramatic love story.

The story began when the female protagonist suffered a miscarriage and was rushed to the hospital.

The male protagonist held her hand and wept bitterly, insisting that he was to blame and vehemently

denying any involvement with any other women, but that was all an act. Disheartened by the man's

lies, the heroine closed her eyes, took off the ring on her finger, and hurled it at him.

Leanna and Aidan were speechless as they watched the scene unfold.
