Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 313
There was a bouquet of roses in his hand.
Dumbfounded, Leanna put down her phone while the smile on her face grew even wider.
Who would have thought the b*stard is such a romantic? He even brought flowers to see me.
Aidan came in front of her. "Why didn't you call me after your gathering ended?"
Leanna replied, "How'd I know that you were nearby?"
Initially, her plan was to text him after she got home.
He asked, "Get in?"
Shaking her head, she refused, "I'm stuffed. I wanna walk home."
Suddenly, Aidan leaned in and sniffed. "Did you drink?"
Then, Leanna gestured with her finger. "A little, but I'm not drunk."
Hearing that, he smiled. "Come home and have a round two with me."
She glanced at him, knowing he had something up his sleeves, so she turned around to continue walking. "No need. A little alcohol can help in regulating your health, but too much can cost you your life."
While Aidan followed behind her, he argued, "Where did you hear such nonsense?"
"Not as nonsensical as you."
"It's my day off tomorrow, so I can accompany you on a date. Where do you want to go?" he asked.
Stunned, she turned back to look at him. "But I have work. Zoe went home due to family matters, and the studio can't be vacant."
Once her words fell, Aidan frowned unnoticeably. "She went home?"
Leanna was at a loss for words.
It seemed like she had made a slip of the tongue.
Quickly changing the topic, she looked at the roses in his hand. "This. Are you not planning to give it to me?"
He looked up at her. "You want this?"
What?
What else could it be? Why would he be carrying that bouquet if he wasn't planning on giving it to me?
Aidan joked, "I picked it up off the street. You can have it if you want."
Gritting her teeth, Leanna glared at him before turning around and leaving.
Laughing, Aidan followed behind her. "Alright, alright. I was just joking. It is meant for you."
"Oh."
She did not believe him anymore.
Then, he added, "It's quite heavy. Didn't you say you wanna walk back? You'd be gasping for breath if you're carrying this."
That was something she could not stand hearing, so she retorted, "What do you mean by that? Please don't look down on any women, President Pearson."
"Then, let's continue tonight."
"Of course, we should continue. I…"
After saying that, she suddenly realized what he meant and was instantly frustrated. "You continue by yourself!"
Cab this b*stard fill his brain with other things besides this?
Just as she was about to throw a fit and leave, Aidan gently held her hand and asked, "Are you angry?"
This b*stard is clearly asking the obvious!
Leanna did not want to be bothered by him.
At that moment, a couple just happened to walk past them.
The two seemed to be arguing because the woman cried, "Look at you! That handsome guy even knows to buy flowers for his girlfriend! Today is our first year anniversary. Not only did you not buy me any flowers, but you don't even remember the occasion today!"
Flustered, the man answered, "About this… Buying flowers has nothing to do with being handsome. I'm sorry. I was too busy and forgot about it. Tomorrow. I promise I'll make it up to you tomorrow."
"Today is our anniversary! What's the meaning of celebrating it tomorrow?"
After that, she ran away crying.
The man stood frozen in place, seeming to be looking for a florist nearby. However, the surrounding shops had all closed at such an hour, let alone the florist.
Leanna stood aside and watched for a moment before suddenly stretching out her hand at Aidan. "Give it to me."
Raising his eyebrow, he asked, "What?"
"Didn't you say this is for me? Give it to me now."
Seeming to have noticed her intentions, he gave the flowers to her.
Leanna held it in her arms for a few seconds before smilingly walking toward the man.
When the man saw her, he was dumbfounded.
She gave him the flowers and said, "Here. Give it to your girlfriend."
"What? How can I take this? Moreover, she's so angry. I don't think I'll need it."
Smiling, she comforted, "It's alright. Most of the time, girls just wanna see whether you care, especially on an important day like your anniversary. She's angry because she treasures your relationship."
Hearing that, the man did not reject the flowers anymore. Instead, he received them while thanking her, "Thank you. I'll transfer the money to you."
"No need for that. As long as you don't mind the fact that my… boyfriend gave it to me."
The man hurriedly said, "No, I don't. You and your boyfriend are so sweet, even I am envious of your relationship. I hope that we can be as sweet as you guys."
Actually, Leanna wanted to say that it would be better if he did not end up like Aidan, but she smiled and assured him, "Go ahead."
After thanking her repeatedly, the man nodded at Aidan and ran after his girlfriend with the flowers.
Once he was gone, Aidan approached her. "Are you done being angry?"
However, she ignored him.
He went forward and pulled her wrist. "Didn't you say I was your boyfriend? Why are you ignoring me?"
Leanna was rendered speechless.
I said it so softly. How did the b*stard hear me?
He asked, "How about I buy you another one?"
"No need," she slowly replied.
"Why?" He asked again after a short pause, "Are you angry with me because I didn't give you the flowers?"
Hearing what he said, Leanna felt her temples throb. They seemed to not be on the same channel.
When he noticed her silence, he asked again, "Since you want it so badly, why did you give it away?"
A moment later, she argued, "I thought he needed it more than I did. Also, I didn't want it so badly!"
"Really?"
Leanna glanced at him with dark eyes. "Forget it. You wouldn't understand how disappointed a woman would be if she didn't get anything during their anniversary."
Pursing his thin lips, Aidan suddenly pulled her and headed back.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Buying you a gift."
"I was just joking. Didn't you compensate for it already?"
Aidan protested, "If you were satisfied with that compensation, would you have mentioned this again?"
Leanna fell silent.
This b*stard really can hit the nail right on the head.
It was only casual talk. Furthermore, it was a woman's usual behavior to bring up an old account when arguing.
After all that, it was almost midnight when they got home.
Aidan did not act like a guest and took off his coat before entering the bathroom to take a shower.
When Leanna was about to hang up his coat, she could smell something.
Leaning in, she could smell something milky… and something weird.
