Love's Change of Heart

In the hospital, many women were there for maternity check-ups, and most were heavily pregnant.

In comparison to them, Leanna seemed more relaxed.

However, she was used to coming alone. This was the first time that someone was accompanying her. Moreover, the place was crowded and noisy; pregnant women threw tantrums at their husbands. In addition to her checkup, she also had to take care of Aidan, who looked entirely out of place and could not find a place to sit.

This suddenly made Leanna think that it was useless to have a man. They did not benefit her in any way; instead, they only added to the chaos. She would be better off coming here alone.

It was no wonder that those women who were longer into their pregnancy found their husbands annoying.

Aidan was aware of her gaze and turned his eyes sideways before saying unhappily, "Why are you looking at me?"

This made her smile. "There are a lot of people here. If President Pearson finds it unbearable, you can wait outside for me."

"When did I say it was noisy?"

When she heard this, she licked the corner of her lips. Your expression says it all.

She really shouldn't have told him this morning. Nothing of such would happen if she came by herself.

"Then, I'll go in first. If you're tired of waiting, you can leave anytime," she said.

Aidan continued to look at her coldly and didn't say a word.

After Leanna went in, he withdrew his gaze and leaned against the wall near the door. His gaze inadvertently fell on the pregnant woman sitting nearby.

Her belly was big; her baby should be due soon.

Her husband squatted beside her as he caressed her stomach with his hands and put his ears to it before exclaiming in surprise, "Honey, he kicked me!"

"He kept sleeping and didn't want to move throughout the examination," the pregnant woman said.

"Then, it seems like I'll need to accompany you next time." Then, the man turned to speak to her stomach again, "Baby, did you hear your daddy's voice? I know you're excited to see your daddy, right? You can come out from your mommy's stomach in just a few more days!"

Hearing this, the woman pushed the man and smiled. "Why are you saying this to him? He won't understand."

"That's not true. I've heard that babies in their mother's stomachs can actually feel the joys and sorrows of adults. We just have to talk to him more so that he knows that there are people out there looking forward to his arrival. Then, when he's born, he'll learn how to walk faster and cause you less trouble."

After a while, the young couple left.

When Leanna came out, she saw Aidan looking at the two empty seats with an unreadable expression on his face. She didn't know what he was thinking.

So, she stretched out her hand and waved. "President Pearson?"

With that, he returned to his senses and glanced at her lightly. "Are you done with your examination?"

"Yup, I'm done. Let's go."

Leanna woke up very early today and was a little sleepy on the way back. However, as the car ride was silent, she leaned against the window and slowly fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, she found he had parked the car at a mall.

Aidan unbuckled his seatbelt and said, "Come down if you're awake."

She rubbed her eyes and got out of the car before fully understanding what was happening. Then, after walking with him for a while, he asked, "President Pearson, are you here to buy something?"

Right after she asked this, she suddenly realized how redundant that question was. As a businessman, he had to be visiting this mall to inspect its KPI.

Although it didn't make sense, he still did accompany her to the hospital. Therefore, out of courtesy, she reluctantly accompanied him around the mall.

Leanna dutifully followed behind him like a personal assistant as she yawned.

When Aidan finally stopped in his steps, she realized that they were standing in front of the children's section.

At first, she was a little stunned, but she suddenly remembered that the women and children were the best target groups regarding their expenditures. Hence, it wasn't surprising if he wanted to come here.

At this time, he turned back and said arrogantly, "Go and pick."

Leanna was stupefied. What did he want her to pick? She looked around her and couldn't help but ask, "President Pearson, can you give me a hint?"

Aidan felt dissatisfaction rise in him when he heard her clueless question. "What else can you pick here? A dress?"

Leanna didn't know what to say.

She finally woke up as she looked around, and when she noticed all the baby supplies around and understood what he meant. After a short pause, she said, "Thank you, President Pearson, but there's no need for this. I've prepared all these already…"

He did not seem to want to deal with her nonsense and went straight into the store, taking whatever he saw.

She was rendered speechless by his callous manner. Has this b*stard lost his mind?

Then, she trailed behind him and took the things he put out of the cart. "President Pearson, you—"

His head snapped back, and he threw the things back into the cart again.

This gave Leanna no choice but to stop him in a roundabout way. "President Pearson, this toy you're holding is for children over three years old to play with."

The clerk hurried over and greeted, "Hello, sir and madam. How old is your baby? I can recommend toys that are suitable for you."

"It's oka—"

Aidan interrupted and answered, "In her growing belly."
