Love's Change of Heart

After the kiss ended, Anthony left abruptly.

When Leanna wanted to keep her phone away, an indifferent voice came from behind her.

"I didn't know that you have an interest like this."

In Castor Villa, the servant placed down the phone. "Master, Madam says that she's

coming right now."

"Okay," he muttered calmly. "You can take a rest now."

Nodding, the servant bowed slightly and left.

Loosening his tie, Aidan then picked up the bag on the couch and went to the second floor.

Half an hour later, Leanna pushed open the door of Castor Villa. The lights on the first floor

were turned on, but there was no one around.

She pursed her lips and could only go upstairs slowly. Standing outside the bedroom door,

she extended her hand and knocked on it. "Are you in there, President Pearson?"

When there was no reply, she suppressed her temper and raised her voice a little.

"President Pearson, are you in?"

A few seconds later, a stoic voice of a man came from inside. "Come in."

Pushing the door open, she then took a few cautious steps inside while Aidan came out of

the bathroom dressed in casual clothes with his hair wet.

After peering at Leanna, he went straight to the couch, took a seat and pointed with his

chin. "That's your stuff."

In hurried steps, she scurried over and held the bag in her arms. "Thank you, President

Pearson. I'll be leaving now if there's nothing else. Have an early rest. Good night."

"Hold it right there."

Stiffly, she froze in her tracks, and he lifted his gaze gently. "Aren't you going to explain to

me about the stuff in there?"

Holding her body in a stiff position, Leanna told him the lie she had prepared earlier

without even batting an eyelid. "Zoe is preparing for a baby, isn't she? As the baby's

godmother, it's… normal that I'm buying these things."

Reasonable, well-founded and consistent, her story was so convincing that she almost

believed it herself.

Chortling, Aidan asked, "Leanna McKinney, do you really think that I'm an idiot?"

His words made her heart skip a few beats, and she forced the plastered smile on her

face. "Everything I said is true, and I can't help it if you don't believe it."

Aidan was quiet, while Leanna's heart drummed against her chest. Unsure of how far his

suspicions went, she didn't dare to open her mouth rashly. However, judging from his

expression, it didn't seem like he was going to skin her alive. In contrast, there was an

inexplicable sense of despondency and gloominess.

Some time passed before he finally asked slowly, "Leanna, do you want a baby?"

When she clearly knew that there was nothing going on between him and Mia and Mia

wasn't pregnant as well, Leanna still insisted to divorce him and even lied to him that she

was pregnant in order to provoke him.

In Castor Villa, the servant placed down the phone. "Master, Madam says that she's

coming right now."

Hence, Aidan thought that Leanna was most probably testing him at that time. She

wanted a baby but he couldn't give it to her, so she threw a tantrum with him and wanted

a divorce because of this?

The edge of her lips twitched, and Leanna's heart, which had almost skipped out from her

body, fell back to its place. "I don't have such a thought."

"Really?" Aidan asked nonchalantly, as though implying that she shouldn't deny it

anymore because he could read her like a book.

Dumbfounded, she then said, "Even if I want a child, it has nothing to do with you, and I

don't know why you had to ask me over to ask me about this now. However, I would like to

remind you that you're the one who said that you won't allow any woman to be pregnant

with your child, including me."

A knot appeared between his brows. "Did I really say that?"

Speechless, Leanna thought, This *sshole really is shameless!

Then, he said, "Even if I said it before, that's the truth. You should know very well that I

don't plan to have a child."

"Oh," she muttered. What the hell has this got to do with me?

Hearing the disappointment in her voice, he pursed his lips for a second and added, "At

least not for the next two years, but I may consider it in the future."

He would never allow his child to be someone else's puppet after being born, not to

mention grow into a life that was already pre-planned.

"You can discuss this with your future partner, President Pearson. There's no need to tell it

to me," Leanna said calmly.

Casting her a disgruntled look, Aidan once again felt that Leanna didn't know what was

better for her. He had already made things so clear and even took a step back, but why

was she still being so difficult?

Indeed, give this woman an inch and she will take a yard after having a taste of

sweetness, he thought.

Although Leanna didn't really understand the dangerous look in Aidan's eyes, she didn't

want to ask him about it either, and merely said with a smile, "I won't disturb you then,

President Pearson. Good—"

Harshly, he broke her off. "Take all your things with you."

"Huh?" she blurted. What else do I have?

"All the things in your wardrobe. Take all of them away."

"But those aren't mine…"

Basically, all the clothes, bags and shoes in the closet were delivered directly from the

stores, and she had literally not used them before.
