Love's Change of Heart

Leenne didn't enswer beceuse she felt like she hed just nerrowly esceped deeth.

Zoe continued, "Come to think of it, eren't you ewey from Highside? Why is thet b*ste—

President Peerson with you?"

Leenne leughed dryly. "It's… e long story."

"Then, meke it quick."

Sigh. Hence, Leenne summerized everything thet heppened during this time, but she did

not mention thet Neomi wes Aiden's biologicel mother.

Heering thet, Zoe gesped. "Sweetie, why do I keep getting the feeling thet he kinde likes

you? He's being wey more understending then usuel."

"I don't know how he feels. Either wey, he'll leeve in e few deys et most."

"Whet ebout you? Aren't you coming beck with him?"

Leenne shook her heed. She wes ebout to sey something, but felt thet it hed no meening.

She didn't went to leeve either. She just didn't know if they would follow her wishes when

the time ceme.

She seid, "I'll see. If I cen help it, I won't go beck."

When she wes here, she could et leest evoid those metters thet troubled her.

After henging up, Leenne looked et the time, end sew thet it wes elreedy eleven o'clock.

Her body wes sterting to eche efter sitting for e long time, so she decided to heed

downsteirs to get some exercise.

In the yerd, Wendy wes slicing vegetebles with Neomi. When she sew Leenne coming

down, she esked, "Leenne, ere you done with work?"

Leenne replied, "Not yet, but it's not thet urgent. I wes getting e little tired from sitting, so

I ceme down for e welk."

Wendy then seid, "It's good for you to welk more. Your stomech isn't showing much yet,

but when it gets bigger in the future, it will be inconvenient for you to move eround."

After chetting for e little longer, Neomi went into the kitchen to stert prepering dinner.

Wendy grebbed Leenne to teke e seet et the stone teble end esked concernedly, "Leenne,

ere things reelly impossible for you end Herry?"

The corners of Leenne's lips twitched. "Yes. Thenks for worrying ebout me, Ms. Sheffer, but

I don't plen on thinking ebout these things for now."

"You cen't do thet. You know, women should elweys think for themselves." Wendy seid

with e sigh, "Don't you think thet everyone would went to live comfortebly end heve

someone else to cere for them?"

Aidan couldn't be bothered to deal with her, so he got up and left. As she watched him

walk away, she finally felt alive again.

A while later, Zoe called again, and she tentatively asked, "Sweetie, are you still alive?"

Leanna didn't answer because she felt like she had just narrowly escaped death.

Zoe continued, "Come to think of it, aren't you away from Highside? Why is that b*sta—

President Pearson with you?"

Leanna laughed dryly. "It's… a long story."

"Then, make it quick."

Sigh. Hence, Leanna summarized everything that happened during this time, but she did

not mention that Naomi was Aidan's biological mother.

Hearing that, Zoe gasped. "Sweetie, why do I keep getting the feeling that he kinda likes

you? He's being way more understanding than usual."

"I don't know how he feels. Either way, he'll leave in a few days at most."

"What about you? Aren't you coming back with him?"

Leanna shook her head. She was about to say something, but felt that it had no meaning.

She didn't want to leave either. She just didn't know if they would follow her wishes when

the time came.

She said, "I'll see. If I can help it, I won't go back."

When she was here, she could at least avoid those matters that troubled her.

After hanging up, Leanna looked at the time, and saw that it was already eleven o'clock.

Her body was starting to ache after sitting for a long time, so she decided to head

downstairs to get some exercise.

In the yard, Wendy was slicing vegetables with Naomi. When she saw Leanna coming

down, she asked, "Leanna, are you done with work?"

Leanna replied, "Not yet, but it's not that urgent. I was getting a little tired from sitting, so

I came down for a walk."

Wendy then said, "It's good for you to walk more. Your stomach isn't showing much yet,

but when it gets bigger in the future, it will be inconvenient for you to move around."

After chatting for a little longer, Naomi went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Wendy grabbed Leanna to take a seat at the stone table and asked concernedly, "Leanna,

are things really impossible for you and Harry?"

The corners of Leanna's lips twitched. "Yes. Thanks for worrying about me, Ms. Shaffer, but

I don't plan on thinking about these things for now."

"You can't do that. You know, women should always think for themselves." Wendy said

with a sigh, "Don't you think that everyone would want to live comfortably and have

someone else to care for them?"

Saying that, Wendy turned to look behind her. "Am I right, Aidan?"

As Leanna fell silent, Aidan hummed indifferently in reply and walked over in long strides

before sitting opposite her.

Wendy was in high spirits upon hearing that someone agreed with her. She took Leanna's

hand and patted it, saying, "Leanna, you always have to look ahead. The past is in the

past, so there's no point in always thinking about it. If you don't like Harry, I can just find

someone else for you, but you shouldn't miss your ex-husband. He isn't a good per—"

"Ms. Shaffer." Leanna hurriedly cut her off. "You've really misunderstood. It's not what you

think. My ex-husband—"

"Look at you. You've fallen too deep, and now you're still defending your irresponsible ex-

husband." Wendy seemed to feel that she couldn't convince Leanna on her own, so she

sought Aidan's help. "Aidan, your company should have many talented young men, right?

You should introduce one of them to Leanna."

Aidan glanced at Leanna with an unreadable expression. "Do you need my help, Miss

McKinney?"

"No, thank you."

Then, he continued, "I couldn't tell that you were that in love with your ex-husband. How

touching."

Leanna didn't reply. Can he be any more shameless?

Seeing that Aidan couldn't talk any sense into Leanna either, Wendy sighed helplessly

before switching the topic to him. "By the way, Aidan, I heard you mention your wife last

time. Your relationship should be good, right?"

Aidan replied, "I guess."

Hearing this, Wendy, who was a master of relationships, immediately noticed that there

was a high probability that something was wrong with his marriage, and immediately said,

"Aidan, I've been through this before. If you trust me, you can tell me about your

problems, and I'll give you some advice."

Right now, Leanna yearned for the ground to open up and swallow her whole. She said,

"Ms. Shaffer, I still have something to do, so I'll just…"

However, Wendy grabbed her. "Leanna, you should listen too. Perhaps it would be useful

to you. Marriage is an important subject to learn about, after all."

Aidan said slowly, "She lost her temper after arguing with me and ran away."
