Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Fight Meanwhile, at Patheon Club, Oscar walked into the private room to find Aidan nursing a drink alone. The room was so silent he could almost hear a pin drop. He sat down opposite Aidan and poured himself a glass as he asked, “What happened?” Aidan said nothing. When Oscar spotted Aidan’s busted lip, he snorted. He got the picture without having to ask any further. They drank in silence for some time before Oscar asked at last, “Is it that hard for you to admit that you like her?”

Aidan’s hand froze mid-air, still holding his glass. He threw Oscar an icy stare. “What are you talking about?” “It doesn’t matter what I’m saying. It matters what your heart’s thinking. You keep saying that you hate your ex-wife, but everything you do screams otherwise.” “That’s not true.” “Then, why did you get someone to keep an eye on Zayn Barnett?” After a pause, Aidan stated coolly, “She tried her hardest to get a divorce so that she could marry into the Barnett Family. Do you think I should just let her get her way?” Oscar had nothing to say in response. There was no use trying to convince someone who was lying to themselves.

… As soon as Anna returned to the Pearson Family Estate, she went straight to her room and started a rampage. Soon, the floor was littered with fragile items. The servants gathered outside the door. None of them had the courage to go in to stop her, so they decided to inform Sienna about it. Sienna frowned when she heard what the servants told her. “Who pissed her off this time?” “I’m not sure. It started as soon as Miss Anna got home.” “Is Old Master Pearson back yet?” “Not yet.” Sienna nodded in acknowledgment and got to her feet. “I’ll go and take a look. Get a few servants to clean up her room.”

Anna’s temper had grown wilder over the past few years. When it came down to it, she was not truly a Pearson, so Gordon was less than keen to put up with her. He probably would have chased her out of the house by now, if not for the marriage alliance with the Barnetts. When Sienna came to Anna’s room and saw the horrid mess, she felt a headache coming on. “What’s going on?” The moment Anna saw her, she began to wail. “Aunt Sienna…” she called out aggrievedly. “Stop crying and tell me what happened.”

“I went to see Zayn today, but that woman was pestering him again.” Sienna’s expression soured at once. “What woman?” “That… Aidan won’t let me say,” Anna mumbled. “You’re not going to tell me just because he said not to? Don’t come crying to me then.” “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you, Aunt Sienna.” Anna bit her lip and added, “It was Leanna McKinney.” “Why was she pestering him?” Sienna frowned. “I don’t know why… Ever since she divorced Aidan, she’s been hanging around Zayn all the time. I don’t know what’s gotten into Aidan either. I just said some things about that woman and he scolded me for it.”
