Love's Change of Heart

"Is it?" Aidan smiled as he nuzzled her neck.

That made Leanna a little embarrassed. "Hey, I'm brushing my teeth. Give me some space," she said

as she pushed him away with her elbow.

Aidan let go of her but right after that, he quickly kissed her on the side of her face while she wasn't

looking. "I hope I can wake up to this dream every day."

Leanna was at a loss for words. Just as she was about to hit him, he quickly left the bathroom.

After breakfast, the both of them headed downstairs. The man who had picked them up when they first

arrived at Ietha was already waiting for them in the hotel lobby.

"Good morning, President and Mrs. Pearson," he murmured with a nod.

As they got into the car, Aidan said to Leanna, "The journey takes about three to four hours. Take a nap

if you're sleepy."

Leanna, however, wasn't sleepy at all. Instead, she felt energetic and kept the window open the entire

drive.

The scenery outside was lovely and the air was fresh.

Herds of cows and sheep and other wildlife could be seen alongside the road.

This was new to her, and it was both interesting and exciting.

She suddenly had a feeling that the place Aidan was taking her would be paradise.

It was already 12.00PM when they reached the small town of Taevaia. The weather was blistering hot

and few people were out on the streets.

It was even quieter than Colslade.

The surrounding architecture was designed in a warm and romantic style, reminiscent of a fairy tale.

Soon after, the car came to a halt in front of a small cottage.

Leanna opened the door immediately, eager to explore more of this town.

Meanwhile, Aidan walked to her and asked, "Do you like this place?"

She nodded in response. "I love it."

If she had known about this place earlier, it would definitely be her top pick for vacations.

This place was breathtaking. The sky was azure, a color she had never seen before in the sky, and the

air was fresh and clean.

Aidan smiled at that. "You'd prefer the nighttime much more. Let's go in and have our meal first."

After speaking, he walked into the cottage with his long legs.

Leanna quickly retracted her gaze and followed after him.

Two middle-aged women were already waiting for them in the cottage. In the background, there was a

dining table filled with food.

Both of them bowed slightly when Aidan and Leanna walked in. They muttered something in their

native tongue that Leanna couldn't understand.

After they finished speaking, Aidan's low voice echoed as he said, "Thank you."

The two middle-aged women then left smilingly.

"Do you understand what they said?" Leanna asked softly.

Aidan simply walked to the dining table and sat down. "I don't, but it never hurts to be polite. Just in

case they beat me up."

Leanna found herself at a loss for words. He truly deserves to be beaten up!

"Come and taste the food," Aidan said at this point. "If you don't like it, I'll have them cook something

else for you."

At that, Leanna walked over and sat right across from him. "Aren't you afraid of being beaten up now?"

"I'm willing to be sacrificed once for you," Aidan replied, his brows raised.

"Shut up."

Leanna then took the utensils in front of her. She took a scoop of the food in front of her and tasted it.

It tasted a little strange, but it was acceptable.

In fact, the more she ate it, the more she liked it.

Seeing that she was enjoying the food, Aidan couldn't help but smile too.

After lunch, he stated, "It is too hot outside. Let's take a nap and go out in the evening."

Leanna didn't feel tired at first, but after Aidan said so, she felt slightly sleepy and yawned.

It seemed that all she did for these few days was eat and sleep.

Their room was on the upper floor. While they were eating, their luggage was hauled up.

As they lay on the bed, Leanna asked, "How long will we be staying here?"

"Two days, but if you like here, we can stay for a few more days."

Leanna paused for a while when she heard that. Then, she asked, "Are we still going to Siebenna

then?"

"Of course. Why are we not going?" Aidan returned the question.

Leanna didn't answer that right away. She felt that Aidan was already up to his neck at work.

Hence, she turned around and closed her eyes. "Nothing. I'm just concerned that we won't be able to

return in time," she muttered.

"You have Zoe in your studio, no?"

"Yes, but—"

"What do you normally do in the studio?"

"Sketch designs."

"Then, why are you worried about the time?" Aidan responded casually.

Leanna was at a loss for words. After a short while, she finally realized what he meant.

Although she wasn't too involved in the studio's daily operations, she would still help out every now and

then. It wasn't that she did nothing all this while.

With this in mind, Leanna took a long breath and closed her eyes even tighter, deciding not to be so

concerned.

After a few seconds, Aidan said, "If you're worried, I can ask Jonathan to oversee the studio."

"Isn't Jonathan supposed to work?" Leanna asked.

"Jonathan is taking instructions from me, not the Pearson Group." Aidan then went on indifferently, "He

is going to leave this week after he hands over everything."

Leanna was taken aback. "He…"

"He is unemployed now. Thus, he desperately needs a job at your studio. Consider him, will you?"
