Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 312
After the door opened, Aidan's figure appeared under the dark night.
Then, Jonathan descended the car, took something out, and followed behind Aidan.
Perhaps Sienna would never have thought that the person she was looking around for was right under her nose in Highside.
As the saying went, the safest place was also the most dangerous; they were not wrong.
Inside the building, a young woman was preparing the little guy's formula.
When she saw Aidan, she greeted, "President Pearson, you're here."
Aidan hummed and asked, "Where are they?"
"The little guy has just woken up and Ms. Fletcher is inside accompanying him."
Hearing that, Aidan walked into the bedroom.
On the crib, the little guy was playing with the toy he was holding while looking around his surroundings with his big, round eyes. When he saw Aidan, he smiled and began to giggle.
Naomi turned around and asked, "Why are you here so suddenly?"
Walking toward the crib, he replied, "Nothing. I came here on a whim."
Then, Naomi stood up and announced, "You came just in time. You can play with him while I wash the clothes."
"Alright."
Once Naomi was gone, the little guy's smile immediately disappeared. He pouted his lips, which made him look very pitiful, as if he was about to cry any second.
Aidan looked at him without saying anything.
Then, the little guy's fists clenched even tighter as he sobbed, looking as pitiful as a person could be.
At that moment, Naomi's voice came from outside. "Don't just sit there. Carry him if he's crying."
Aidan picked up the little guy and whispered, "You're just like your mother. Petty."
Now that the little guy was in Aidan's arms, he stopped crying. His round eyes were wide open and he looked at him curiously.
A thin smile appeared on the man's face as he said, "I'll bring your mother over to see you soon. She misses you too."
Right after he said that, the little guy clenched his fists again. His face was red as if he was using a lot of strength.
Aidan was speechless.
When Naomi came in, she saw an expressionless Aidan holding the legs of a naked child while trying to help him change diapers.
The scene before her made her speechless, but she also found it hilarious. She rushed over and chased Aidan away. "This is not how you change diapers. How could you take all his clothes off? He's going to catch a cold."
After a while, he finally said, "When I took it off just now, some of it got on his clothes."
Naomi was speechless.
She picked up the little guy and brought him straight to the bathroom to take a bath.
After that, he soon fell asleep.
The young woman outside had finished tidying up everything and came in to ask, "President Pearson, Ms. Fletcher, if there's nothing else to do, can I have tonight off?"
Naomi nodded. "Sure. Go ahead."
"Thank you, Ms. Fletcher. I'll leave now."
While saying that, she quickly picked up her things and left.
Once the door was closed, Aidan withdrew his gaze and stated, "Has she been frequently asking for time off?"
Naomi answered while folding the little guy's clothes. "Occasionally, but mostly during nighttime. She would come back early in the morning, so it didn't take up much time."
Aidan narrowed his eyes but did not speak.
"What's the matter?" asked Naomi.
"Nothing."
She then replied, "Alright, then. It's getting late and the little guy has fallen asleep. Do whatever you should be doing and don't waste anymore time being here."
Glancing at the crib, Aidan was lost in his thoughts.
Downstairs, the young woman exited the residential area, found the familiar car, and got in.
While fastening her seatbelt, she felt relieved as she said, "I was almost scared to death. I thought I wasn't going to be able to come out."
The man in the driver's seat asked, "What happened?"
"It's… the owner of the house. He came back today and I was afraid he wouldn't let me leave."
Laughing, the mad asked, "Is he that fierce?"
Celia answered, "No, he's not fierce. He has a cold personality, but he's still quite nice."
The man asked again, "What does he do? It seems like he doesn't come home often."
Not willing to disclose too much, Celia replied, "Yes. He often goes on business trips." Then, she added, "Oh, right. Why don't we watch a movie tonight? It's been a long while since I went to the cinema."
Hearing her change the subject, the man stopped asking questions, but the smile in his eyes had a trace of scheming in them.
On the way, Celia leaned against the car window while quietly listening to the music inside the car.
She was originally a secretary from Pearson Group, but was later being targeted and bullied by the others because she refused to abide by her superior's unspoken rules.
There was once when Aidan came to survey the company, but her superior deliberately arranged for her to attend a business dinner in order to humiliate her. Just when she thought she was a goner, Aidan saw through her superiors' schemes. Then, he cleaned out the entire company of leeches, which could be seen as an act of restoring hope and bringing light into her life.
Since then, Celia saw Aidan as her savior. So, when she got to take care of his child, she did not ask any questions, nor did she speak about it.
Her encounter with Raymond was also an accident. When she came out to buy some groceries, she met some burglars and her phone was almost stolen. It was Raymond who helped her.
In order to show her gratitude, she treated him to a meal and they exchanged numbers.
After a few rounds of talking, they gradually got closer to each other.
She knew Raymond was a single father with two kids, but he was considerate, meticulous, and caring. He would also always bring her romantic surprises when she least expected them.
Even so, she still did not tell him anything about Aidan and the child. All he knew was that she was a nanny.
That was it.
…
After leaving the bar, the group of young women each hailed a cab and headed home.
Since her residence was not far from here, Leanna thought that she should just walk home.
One of the young women asked, "Leanna, why don't we send you home?"
Smiling, Leanna replied, "It's fine. I'm still stuffed, so I'll walk."
"Alright, then. Be careful on your way home. We'll leave now. Goodbye."
"Goodbye. You guys take care too, and text me when you get home."
Leanna smiled and waved at them.
After they were gone, she withdrew her gaze, placed her hands inside her pocket, and turned around to leave.
Those young women had made her drink quite a lot, but those drinks did not contain much alcohol. Besides feeling a little dizzy, she did not feel uncomfortable; instead, she felt even more energized.
She had just walked a few steps when the phone inside her pocket rang.
It was Aidan.
His magnetic voice sounded from the phone. "Are you done?"
"We just ended. I'm going home now."
"By foot?"
"How did you…"
Halfway into her question, she stopped and looked around.
