Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Just a Little Coaxing Will Do Aidan’s eyes darkened. His Adam’s apple bobbed a little. “That’s not enough.” Leanna cocked her head to the side as if she was trying to think what would convey enough sincerity. At the very next second, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. This time, she carefully stuck her tongue out to lick his lips. All at once, Aidan’s hands tightened around her waist. He reached up one hand to cup her head before deepening the kiss. She was a little uncomfortable at first. Her lips stung in pain, but since it was their wedding anniversary and she hadn’t prepared a gift, she figured that he was upset. Slowly, she began to respond to his kiss.

She sensed that Aidan was a little different today. He was a lot gentler than usual. It was the kind of gentleness that intoxicated her. Just then, someone opened the door to the private room. Elijah was stunned to see the sight in front of him. His fists clenched. After a pause, he turned around and left at once. When Leanna heard the door closing, she immediately pushed Aidan away. Her face was bright red as she stammered, “T-There’s someone…” “Ignore them.” He pulled her head near and kissed her once more. It was much, much later when he finally released her. Leanna was nestled in his arms and gasped a little. Her fingers gripped his shirt as she asked dazedly, “Aren’t we going home?” Aidan stared at her glistening eyes and asked hoarsely, “What do you want to do when we get home, hm?” His stare made her feel a little embarrassed. She looked away. Her heart was about to leap out of her chest. He smirked and caressed her head. “We can’t today.” This was enough. If he took advantage of her now, once she sobered up, anger would be a gross understatement of what her reaction would be. He carried her in his arms and murmured, “I’ll take you home.” Leanna hummed in acknowledgment and grabbed his shirt tightly. She was dozing off by the time they came out of Patheon Club. Aidan placed her inside the car carefully before instructing, “Turn the temperature up.” “Got it,” Jonathan said. “President Pearson, President Parker has left.”

Aidan acknowledged it with an unconcerned hum. He put his jacket around Leanna and pulled her back into his arms. Jonathan cleared his throat. “President Pearson, what would happen if Mrs. Pearson finds out about this?” “She won’t remember anything,” Aidan said. “Elijah Parker won’t ask her about it either.” President Pearson’s a cunning man indeed. What an underhanded way to deal a blow to his love rival. “Where are we going now, President Pearson?” Jonathan asked. Aidan glanced at the woman in his arms. “Send her home.” “Alright.” “There’ll be some changes happening to the Pearson Family soon. Instruct more people to keep an eye on them.” “What… sort of changes?” “Georgina Crossley might be getting engaged to Justin,” Aidan stated off-handedly. Jonathan was taken aback.

“Has Mr. Justin agreed to it?” “It has nothing to do with his wishes. The marriage alliance is merely a way to solidify the relationship between the Pearson Family and the Crossley Family.” Furthermore, it was Lloyd Crossley himself who suggested the match. “I will make sure our men keep an eye on them. I’ll continue to look into the Crossleys as well,” Jonathan said. Aidan didn’t say anything else. He had his arm around Leanna’s shoulder as he remained quiet in thought. … Zoe was in the middle of her skincare routine when she heard the doorbell ringing. She ran to get it. “Leanna, why are you home so late? Did that b*s…” Well, if she had her way, she would’ve continued with, “…tard make things difficult for you again?” However, Aidan was standing at the doorstep with Leanna in his arms and staring at her with a straight face. Zoe was mortified. She wanted to dig a hole and die. “Where’s her room?” he asked. Zoe retreated robotically and pointed the way. He strode into the house.

Once the room door closed, Zoe gasped and took a deep breath. It felt as if she just had a near-death experience. In the room. Aidan laid Leanna on the bed and stared at her for a while. Just as he was about to leave, she reached out and circled her arms around his neck. Her eyes opened, and she stared at him hazily. “Did I make you mad again?” “Hm?” Leanna’s nose was red. “Why are you leaving?” she asked aggrievedly. “I won’t leave if you answer a question of mine,” he replied. She nodded. “Do I treat you well?” She was not expecting that. Leanna averted her eyes in avoidance. However, he held her by the chin and forced her to have eye contact with him. “Answer me,” he said. “You treat me well sometimes… and poorly other times…” “Do I treat you well or poorly most of the time?” Again, she didn’t want to answer that. Doesn’t the b*stard know the answer already? Why does he keep asking all these? “What do I need to do for you to forgive me?” he asked. Leanna’s voice was very soft. “Just a little coaxing will do.” “Really?” “Mm-hmm…” She lowered her eyes. “But you won’t coax me. You’ll never do that. All you do is scold me and look at me with disdain. I didn’t lie to you. I didn’t try to use the child to force you into anything. If you didn’t want the child, I would’ve just gotten an abortion. I didn’t know they would do that…” Her eyes were teary. Droplets of tears clung to her lashes. Aidan’s tone was soft as he attempted to soothe her. “Alright, I’ve got it. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.” Once Leanna was sound asleep, he kissed her forehead and got up to leave. As soon as he exited the bedroom, Zoe, who had been standing in wait for quite some time now, gave him a 90-degree bow and said loudly, “I’m sorry, President Pearson!” Huh? He tugged at his sleeve and responded coolly, “There’s no need for you to bow.” Zoe quickly straightened up and asked carefully, “Did Leanna have too much to drink?” “Yes.” His answer only made her even more puzzled. “That’s weird. She rarely drinks and would always limit her alcohol intake as well. She has never gotten drunk—” Before she could finish, a pair of eyes fell upon her. She immediately changed the subject. “Don’t worry, President Pearson. I’ll take good care of her.”

Aidan took a few steps forward before turning around to look at her, but he didn’t say anything. Zoe felt as if she was walking on a tightrope. “I-Is there anything else, President Pearson?” “Don’t tell her I’m the one who brought her home.” She nodded without the slightest bit of hesitation. “What should I tell her then?” “You went to Patheon Club to pick her up. She was alone in the room when you arrived.” “Noted! Will do!” “Are you sure?” he asked. Those three words sent chills down her spine. It was not a question! It was a threat! “Absolutely sure! Don’t worry, President Pearson. I won’t spill the beans by accident,” she said with a gulp. Aidan withdrew his gaze and left.
