Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 8

Leanna rose to her feet while smiling. "Enjoy your movie."

After buying the things needed from the drugstore downstairs, she went to the grocery store to purchase a few things that Zoe wanted. Looking at the sanitary pads on the rack, she suddenly recalled that it had been two months since she last had her menstruation.

Ever since the miscarriage that happened three years ago, she had her menstruation every two or three months due to irregular menstruation. Assuming that her menstruation would come soon, she took a few packs of sanitary pads.

Just as she was about to leave upon making the payment, a woman bumped into her at the entrance, causing Leanna's stuff to scatter around the floor. The woman then dusted off her clothes in contempt. "Watch where you're going."

Leanna lifted her head and gave the woman an indifferent look. "Did you not learn how to walk like a human?"

The woman was none other than Anna Pearson, whose eyes were rife with disdain and arrogance toward Leanna. "Oh, it's you. What are you doing here at this hour? Are you meeting another man behind Aidan's back?"

Leanna could not care less about Anna as she began to gather the fallen paper bags. "Anna Pearson, you should've stayed abroad. Don't you know that I hold grudges and will take revenge on others?"

When Anna heard that, her expression changed before taking a few steps back. "What are you going to do?"

Leanna arched her brow. "Nothing in particular, but you better not get pregnant in this lifetime. Otherwise, you'll have to watch out all the time. Who knows? I might be in the mood to have some fun with you and approach you regardless of what it takes. Furthermore…"

As her voice trailed off, her ambiguous gaze scanned Anna from head to toe.

Anna, who was not even pregnant, quailed at Leanna's gaze. "You must be out of your mind. You're the only one who knows whether you're pregnant. Don't even think about putting the blame on me just because I bumped into you! Besides, my family won't let you off the hook if you lay a finger on me! I-I'm sure that Aidan will file a divorce and drive you out of the house. You won't get anything you want!"

"Try me. I have nothing to lose anyway."

"Crazy woman!" Anna then strode away with guilty and nervous steps before heading toward a Land Rover outside of the grocery store. Noticing her pale complexion, the man next to her asked, "I thought you're going to buy some water?"
As though she had been waiting for that very question, she grumbled, "Zayn, do you still remember the woman who faked her pregnancy to force a marriage with Aidan? I ran into her by chance. It must be my bad day."

However, he merely responded, "If you're not going to buy anything, then let's go."

"Zayn, you—" She stopped halfway when she noticed that he was staring at something outside their car. Following his gaze, she peered outside, but there was nothing. Before she could voice out her curiosity, he abruptly alighted from the car and dashed toward a direction.

Anna followed suit and yanked Zayn, who was searching for something amongst the crowd. "Zayn, what's wrong? Are you searching for something?"

"Nothing. I must be mistaken." Zayn gathered himself as he dropped his gaze onto the ground. The silhouette was similar to the one he had been missing this whole time.

"Let's go, then," she suggested.

At that moment, he removed her hand from his. "Anna, I'll call a cab for you. I have something urgent to do. I'll send you home next time."

"But you've clearly promised—"

Unfazed by her pestering, he took out his phone and called for a cab. "I've sent the license plate to you. Bye."

At last, he left the scene, leaving Anna behind as she yelled for his name.

…

Leanna arranged the groceries into the fridge before handing the hot water bottle to Zoe, who was quite frankly suffering from the menstruation cramp.

She took it over and brandished her phone at Leanna, seeming all excited with those bright eyes. "Guess who just messaged me?"

"Zac Efron? Harry Styles?"

"I'm being serious right now." She showed Leanna the screen to reveal the messages received.

'I'm Zayn Barnett.'

"Do you have any news about Leanna?"

Leanna stared at the messages until the screen turned black.
