Love's Change of Heart

Slowly, Aidan got away from her, but his hands were still in control of her as he spoke in a

husky voice, "Is it not pleasurable how I'm serving you? Why are you biting me so hard?'

Controlling herself from shaking, Leanna said emotionlessly, "President Pearson, I think

you should look for someone to let off your steam if you're doing something so inhumane

because you've been abstinent for too long and your energy is building up."

Sensing danger approaching, Leanna couldn't help but step backward until she had no

more room to retreat and the cold wall was pressed against her back.

"I'm here to look for you, aren't I?" he answered.

It had been almost three months since she brought up the divorce, and he hadn't touched

her for a long time, so of course he had the urge.

Meanwhile, she took a deep breath and thought, This jerk really sounds so justified!

While she was on the edge of passing out from fury, she said, "President Pearson, I hope

you can keep your beastly behavior under control. We're already divorced, and I have no

obligations to you as your wife. If you continue this, I'll sue you for sexual abuse."

Aidan grimaced glumly, "Don't mention the word 'divorce' to me."

"We've already terminated the legal relationship established by the equalities and

volitionality between a man and a woman."

Using his thumb, he wiped off the blood that was smudged on the corner of his lips. "Why

didn't I realize before this that you have such a sharp tongue?"

"That's because you didn't understand me in the past."

"Marrying me obstructed you from developing?"

Silently, Leanna thought, Is there a problem with this jerk? Just a second ago, he was

fierce and mean to me, and now, he's telling me a stupid joke which isn't funny at all.

Before she could say anything, Aidan added, "Leanna McKinney, someone said that I like

you." He paused and asked, "Do you believe this?" While she remained speechless, he

said, "I don't even believe this myself. Or perhaps, do you think this is possible?"

Look for the person who said something so ridiculous! she thought furiously. Why are you

here acting so sarcastic with me? Unable to tolerate him anymore, she was about to lash

out at him when she smelled the faint scent of tobacco and alcohol on him.

During their three years of marriage, she could count the times when he smoked on one

hand, unless he encountered something frustrating. However, this had nothing to do with

her, and just because he was in a foul mood, it didn't mean that he could humiliate her

brazenly.

Not hearing an answer from her for a long while, Aidan released her hand. "I'll give you a

chance to explain the folic acid."

Leanna pursed her lips; she should really thank the heavens that he was giving her this

chance, and he said again, "Leanna McKinney, I'll believe you if you answer me this time.

So, you better think carefully before giving me an answer."

Thinking of her debt of ten million, she conceded in the end and lied with a straight face,

"That's not mine; it's Zoe's. She's going to get married to her boyfriend soon, and they're

preparing for a baby."

"Why is her stuff in your bag?"

"I'm living with her and we're working at the same place together. She forgot to bring it

when she left the house in a hurry. Is there a problem if I bring it to her?"

"I'm here to look for you, aren't I?" he answered.

Aidan was quiet, and Leanna didn't know whether he believed it or not. After a couple of

seconds, he asked, "Aren't you living with her? Why are you in a hotel now?"

Aidan was quiet, and Leanna didn't know whether he believed it or not. After a couple of

seconds, he asked, "Aren't you living with her? Why are you in a hotel now?"

Annoyed, she snapped, "Can't you think with your brains? Do you think it's appropriate for

me to live there when she's preparing to have a baby with her boyfriend?"

Her answer got him speechless, and she continued, "If there's nothing else, President

Pearson, may you just leave now? People will gossip if a single man and woman share a

room… I don't want someone to label me as disgusting for no reason again."

"As long as people have mouths, gossip can be spread no matter how."

And isn't this all your f*cking fault?! she thought furiously.

He stated casually, "If you don't want others to gossip about us, I'm willing to put up with

some annoyance and agree to have our marriage again. Nobody has the right to criticize

as long as we are in an equal and legal relationship."

After the words left his lips, Leanna couldn't help but retch.

Immediately, Aidan's face turned sour and he tightened his jaw as he growled, "Leanna

McKinney!"

With little time to waste, she pushed him aside, ran to the bathroom, and puked furiously

while grasping the toilet. She emerged from the bathroom after a long time to find him

still standing in the same location, his gorgeous features buried by a coating of icy mist.

"Why? Do my words make you sick?" he asked with a stony face.

"I'm just feeling a little unwell, but if that's what you think, I have nothing to —"

A loud sound of the door closing reverberated before she finished her sentence.

Sniggering sheepishly, Leanna then returned to the couch, but the food in front of her had

already turned cold, and she lost her appetite. Sighing, she cleared up the things simply

and went to bed.

This had been an exhausting evening for her.

Feeling her the edge of her lips which was chafed, she suddenly felt mad. That jerk must

be acting out because he had too much to drink tonight, and she blocked him on all

possible contact methods. The further she stayed away from Aidan, the better it was for

her, but she was still unable to avoid him venting out his frustration on her.

Just what kind of person have I offended? she wondered to herself, tossing around with her

hand on her abdomen. Fortunately, he had believed the story about the folic acid, at least.

Even if he didn't, it didn't even occur to him that she was taking it because she was

pregnant.
