Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 29

Can he not help Lux Jewelry at this troublesome time in the name of love?

Aidan looked concernedly at Leanna. "Where are you feeling unwell? I'll call the doctor."

However, she only replied strugglingly. "Haha, I was just pretending to be sick."

Aidan, Zoe and Harvey were all speechless.

Not planning on letting her off the hook just like that, Aidan grabbed her by her wrist and forcefully led her into the resting room beside.

A shocked Harvey gasped, "What is going on?"

Zoe's smile stiffened up. "Uhm, it's just… lover's quarrels."

Inside the resting room, Leanna swung her hand off his. "Don't worry, President Pearson. The money I owe you will be repaid by me when the show ends. I won't try to escape either."

Therefore, he didn't have to come backstage during the interim just to remind me of this!

Why didn't I realize how pushy he is before?

We've already agreed on a month, but he really needs to get another hobby aside from reminding me day and night.

"I'm not…" Aidan stopped and looked at her with raised eyebrows. "Where did you get the money from?"

"It's not from robbing, stealing or cheating anyone. I earned the money with my own effort legally."

Seeing her confidence made him a little upset as he sneered, "Since you're so capable, why did you force me to marry you in the first place?"

Leanna pouted and uttered after quite a while, "I'm sorry."

Her pale face frustrated Aidan. "Where exactly are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing." She nonchalantly continued, "It might be because I have never been on a runway before, so I was a bit nervous. Whenever I get nervous, I tend to have the tendency to puke. It'll be alright after it passes."

She then reassured him further, "You don't have to worry, President Pearson. This won't affect me repaying you the debt."


Ignoring the latter half of her sentence, he questioned, "Who told you to walk the runway?"

"There was an accident and one of the models went to the hospital. So, in the heat of the moment, I could only stand in for her."

"What does it have to do with you? You're just a designer."

The smirking Leanna mocked, "You're right. I am just a designer who's unlike you, the great President Pearson who doesn't care about anything or anyone."

Aidan replied after a few seconds, "Looks like you were faking your sickness. Since you're acting so spritely, I don't see why you would be unwell."

"You see right through me, President Pearson."

Feeling his patience exhausted, he left without a single word.

Not after two minutes since his departure, Harvey received a call from Daphne's manager. They stated that they heard about the incident backstage and that if they needed it, Daphne could stand in for the next two sets.

Even though she was an actress, she had been invited to countless fashion shows. It was no exaggeration to say the number rivals a hundred. Besides, the control and familiarity she had on stage is unmatched by normal models.

Considering Leanna's current condition, Harvey agreed with almost zero hesitation.

Just like that, Daphne became one of the models.

Soon enough, the employees of Lux burst into heated discussion upon hearing this.

"President Pearson actually arranged this for the sake of Leanna. This is Daphne we're talking about. She's the queen when it comes to actresses. Now, she's actually here to help out with the runway."

"I'm so touched by their love."

"You don't say. I also believe they have something going on after being brainwashed for so long."

Sitting alone in the resting room, Leanna was oblivious to all those comments as she sighed with the chance to finally take a breather now.

After two minutes of rest, she was about to leave the room when she felt pain coming from her abdomen.

It was so painful that sweat formed on her forehead instantly.

Clenching her teeth, she stood up and searched for her phone in hopes of contacting Zoe when Zayn suddenly called her.

"Leanna, I have something to tell you."

"Zayn…"

One could hear the discomfort from her tone as she gripped the phone with her pallid fingertips.

Sensing that something was off, Zayn asked, "Leanna, are you sick? Where are you?"

"I'm at…" she answered in a scramble, "Please, call Zoe for me and tell her that I'm in the resting room backstage."

"Wait for me. I'm coming over right now!"

After hanging up, she used the table to prop herself up as she felt her vision going blurry.

Clutching her stomach, she screamed inside.

No, no…

Please don't let anything happen!

After a few minutes, the door opened and Zayn rushed in. "Leanna!"

Before she could utter a word, she went into unconsciousness.
