Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 247
However, it was true that those people were crazy. If they could not harm Aidan, they might turn their aim at her.
It was just her luck.
She thought about it for a while before asking, "What exactly did you do to Anna, President Pearson?"
He uttered, "Only my wife has the right to know these secrets."
She rolled her eyes at him. Okay. Fine. Let's just act like I didn't ask him anything.
Seeing that she wasn't speaking, he revealed to her, "Don't worry. She's still alive."
He still had use for Anna, so he would not let her die so easily.
"Oh." Leanna didn't really want to be involved in this.
Soon, the dishes were served.
When she wanted to get some soup, Aidan had already picked up the ladle and took the bowl in her hand.
He was so natural at it.
Leanna didn't expect him to be able to care for others. It wasn't something she noticed back then.
Sure enough, it was a matter of whether a man was someone's lover or not to do these things. It was never an issue of whether or not he knew what to do.
When he placed the bowl of soup in front of her, she politely showed her gratitude, "Thank you, President Pearson."
He replied drily, "You should know I don't need verbal gratitude."
She didn't want to entertain him further. Eat your food, b*stard!
After dinner, Leanna bumped into a friend when she was leaving.
Daniel said hello to her first. "You're here for dinner too, Miss McKinney?"
She nodded and saw the person coming from behind him before she could reply.
Georgina stopped beside Daniel and gave her a half-smile. "We meet again, Miss McKinney. Are you here alone? You didn't invite Aidan?"
Her words were filled with ridicule, but Leanna only pressed her lips together for a faint smile.
At that moment, a man's voice came through from the side. "Are you looking for me?"
Georgina looked at him as her face hardened and the hands by her side clenched tightly.
It was as she thought. They had gotten close again.
Leanna didn't want to be involved in this conflict and tilted her head. "I've got stuff to do. I'll take my leave now, Daniel. Miss Crossley."
Then, she left without turning back.
Seeing that, Aidan wanted to follow after her, but Georgina stopped him. "Don't you have anything to say to me, Aidan?"
With a hand in his pocket, he slowly turned his head with an icy face. He glanced at Daniel, who was standing beside her before looking back at her. "Should I congratulate you for finding your true love, or congratulate you for the engagement next month?"
She snickered, "If it wasn't for you suddenly calling off the engagement, we probably would be married by now. I wouldn't be stuck in this situation too."
Georgina was too proud of herself. Even when Aidan had called off the engagement, she never thought of looking for a differently-abled person to spend the rest of her life with.
She could never understand why Lloyd, who always held her happiness as a priority and had asked her to think things through before marrying Aidan, decided to marry her off to Justin in just a few months.
Even though she had not agreed to anything, Lloyd seemed to have made up his mind and didn't even allow her to reject.
If this was before, she might have compromised.
However, things were now different. Since meeting Daniel, she finally knew what she wanted. How could she spend the rest of her life with a cripple when there were better options?
"Don't put the blame on me. You know what you did." Aidan paused before continuing, "Besides, it's not appropriate to talk about this in front of him. Don't you think so, Mr. Daniel?"
As always, Daniel kept a nice smile on his face. It was like a mask and no one could see through him.
He replied, "Oh, don't regard me a stranger, President Pearson. We're all friends. There's nothing that can't be said."
Aidan retracted his gaze. "Is that so?"
"Of course."
Then, he looked at Georgina before telling her, "Don't come to this type of place next time. Mr. Daniel likes canned food."
The smile on Daniel's face froze.
Then, Aidan left after dropping the bomb.
Georgina frowned and turned her head to look at Daniel. "What did he mean by that?"
Danial quickly recomposed himself. "Nothing. President Pearson just so happened to be there the time I had a meal at Miss McKinney's place."
"You're close with Leanna?"
"Not really, but we're close neighbors. Elijah is also trying to court her."
She scoffed to herself upon hearing that.
Looking at the direction Aidan left, Daniel narrowed his eyes. "By the looks of it, Elijah is going to be disappointed."
"Yea. They made such a huge ruckus, but in the end, it was someone else who got hurt."
Daniel looked at her to see her eyes filled with resentment.
…
After exiting the restaurant, a cab just so happened to pass by. So, Leanna got on and left.
It was surprising for her to see Daniel and Georgina together.
She would not have believed it if she didn't see them today with her own eyes.
Rolling down the windows, she sighed as she was glad that Zoe wasn't in too deep.
When she got home, Zoe just woke up as she walked to the kitchen yawning. "Morning, Nana."
"Um… It's 10.00PM now."
Zoe's eyes widened. "F*ck. I slept for so long?"
Leanna changed to her flip-flops. "There's probably nothing in the fridge. What do you want? I'll order."
"Anything." She took a sip of water and curled up on the couch. "The more I sleep, the sleepier I get. The later the night goes, I get more energetic."
Leanna sat beside her and quickly ordered a few of her favorites.
"Oh, right. Nana. My friend told me there's a party tonight. Do you want to go since we wouldn't be able to sleep anyways?"
She massaged her neck. "You go ahead. I sprained my neck. It'll hurt more if I stay up all night."
Zoe turned her head to look at her in puzzlement. "That's sudden. How did you sprain your neck?"
Then, she made a long 'Ooh" sound. "I know. It must be that b*stard, right?"
Anything that was out of the norm would be blamed on Aidan.
"Um, no. I fell asleep on the table in the office this afternoon. When I woke up, my neck was stiff and I sprained it."
"You just came back from the hospital?"
Leanna fell silent. "No."
Suddenly, Zoe sniffed the air. "Why do I smell ointment on you?"
