Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 38

Intended to save money for her future child, Leanna was suddenly saddled with a massive debt.

For this, she could not tell if the b*stard was generous or stingy.

Say he's generous… But he even made sure to guard before my hospital bed until I had repaid the debt!!

Say if he's stingy… But he did pay nearly ten million in exchange for my freedom as a designer...

As much as the situation looked favorable on the surface, the debt still returned to her, hence concluding that Aidan was both generous and stingy.

…

After Leanna was gone for a long time, Aidan realized that he had been deceived by her once again.

She was such a cunning and calculated woman. There's no way she would give up her hands. This is all just a ruse.

Then, he made an internal phone call to summon Jonathan.

"What's the deal about Mia?" he asked coldly.

Jonathan sensed impending disaster as soon as Aidan raised the inevitable question. At last, he finally explained the entire situation.

When it came to the end, Jonathan added earnestly, "I was going to tell you last time, but I didn't have time. You mentioned that our collaboration with Lux Jewelry was history and that I shouldn't bring them up…"

At that, Aidan raised his cold eyes.

Taken aback by his stare, Jonathan quickly proposed a solution. "President Pearson, I will head to Lux Jewelry right now to clarify."

"There is no need for that."

Now that Leanna was outrightly cursing at him, she might turn self-righteous all of sudden after knowing about the truth. At least that was what Aidan assumed.

Although everything he did was for the sake of Lux Jewelry, she would get carried away thinking that this was all for her!

Perhaps one day she would be daring enough to walk over him and do whatever she wanted.

Aidan was about to rise to his feet when he noticed a medicine bottle left on the couch where Leanna was sitting.


Reaching out to retrieve it, he saw two words on the bottle—folic acid.

"Why is she eating this?" He pondered.

"It is said that eating this during pregnancy can effectively prevent neural tube defects in the fetus," Jonathan replied cautiously.

At that moment, Aidan's face sank as he clutched the bottle in his palm, shuddering.

Pregnant? Have she and Zayn made such progress already??

After three years, Leanna intends to marry into the Barnett Family using the same method!

…

Along the way home, Leanna was feeling depressed. She pushed open the door when she arrived home.

"Baby, you're back! Surprise!"

Confetti was launched into the air as a man was holding a bouquet of roses in front of her.

Speechless she was when she saw that it was Anthony Lester.

Similarly, he stared back at her in silence.

They were both looking at each other embarrassingly. "I'm sorry, I thought you were Zoe." He laughed awkwardly as he slowly put the roses in his hand away.

"The magazine has been quite busy recently," Leanna said before adding, "So Zoe may not be able to return until later."

"Ah… It's my fault. I wanted to surprise her."

"It's alright, I won't tell her. She will be overjoyed to see the surprise you have planned for her. I should get out of your way then."

"I think I'll just forget it. If Zoe knew about it, she will give me a lecture," Anthony utter quietly.

"I just happen to have something to do. Please let Zoe know that I won't be back tonight." Leanna chuckled.

"Then, let me send you off."

"It's alright. I'll just hail a cab."

She left wisely after finishing their brief talk.

Anthony was Zoe's boyfriend whom she had been dating since university. The couple had always gotten along well. He was sent abroad by his company last year with the intention of staying for at least two years, so it appeared that he had returned earlier than scheduled.

There must be so much to say and so much to do after not seeing each other for ages. It would be embarrassing for Leanna to be their third wheel.

Therefore, she found a nearby cafe and began browsing the rental listings.

Gradually, the sky had become darker.

She stretched her neck and went in search of a restaurant.

When she was halfway through her meal, she received a call from Zoe. "Nana, where are you?"

"I'm eating out. Have you returned?"

"Yes… That jerk, Anthony took me by surprise. He nearly scared me to death! My fists were clenched tight because I thought a thief broke in."

Although she complained, it was clear that her tone was pleasant.

"Don't give him a hard time. Let's celebrate tonight since he's back," Leanna proposed as she chuckled.

"We've been dating for about four or five years. We're like an elderly couple. What is there to rejoice about? Nana, you should come home and spend the night. I'll send him to the hotel."

"Don't worry, I'll just stay out tonight. Your girl doesn't wanna be a third-wheel here..."
