Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 106

After Jonathan finished reporting his work at the Pearson Group, he said, "President Pearson, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"Wait." Aidan stopped him and paused for a few seconds before raising his head and asking in a light tone, "Has Leanna moved in?"

"No…"

Aidan put his pen down, a little displeased when he heard the unsatisfactory answer. "What is she still doing?"

"Madam went to Highside Prison this morning to claim her father's ashes and then went to the cemetery in the afternoon. Now, she should be on her way back," Jonathan said.

Hearing this, Aidan sneered softly and did not say much. "You can leave."

That heartless woman actually wasted her feelings in such a worthless place.

At this time, his phone rang. It was Oscar.

As soon as the call connected, Oscar said, "I heard that you've returned to Highside?"

"Yes."

"I didn't expect this project to be so tricky. It even took you so long."

Aidan did not respond to that and asked, "Do you have nothing better to do?"

This made Oscar laugh. "That's not the case, and I just care about you. Can I know what you were thinking? In the midst of the chaos with the Pearsons, you actually pulled away and started on a dispensable project for the Pearson Group at Underwood Lane. Your old man must be delighted during that time."

"Don't let him think that he has the opportunity to take advantage of this. What's the point if he suddenly stopped?" Aidan spoke in a neutral tone. "Also, Underwood Lane is an important project for Pearson Group at the end of the year. Who said it was unnecessary?"

"All right, all right. You have the final say in this. What about we get together for a drink tonight?"

Aidan looked at the piles of documents in front of him and pursed his thin lips. "I'm busy."

Oscar didn't know what to say.

This b*stard was really stubborn.

After Aidan hung up the call, he looked deeply at his phone for a while before dialing Leanna's number.

On the other side, she had just gotten home. Right before she sat on the sofa, she heard her phone ring.

She took her time answering the phone. "President Pearson, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Leanna, you should know that the Pearson Family is watching me very closely now," Aidan said indifferently.

"Maybe…just a little."

She also read the financial newspaper that Naomi read. Maybe it was because Aidan was getting increasingly difficult to control; it was obvious that Gordon was trying to suppress him, and he had no intention of hiding it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have told Zayn and Anna to get married.

"Then, what are you waiting for?"

Leanna was speechless at this man.

"I've told you. Once you're discovered, there's no use, even if you begged me," Aidan added.

"Thank you for reminding me, President Pearson. I'll pack my things now."

"Pack and stay where you are. I'll get Jonathan to pick you up."

"Okay."

After she hung up the phone, she took out yesterday's luggage and put her toiletries in, one after the other.

Almost half an hour later, Leanna received a call from Jonathan.

Right before she left, she noticed the paper bag at the door with the photos and the pocket watch found at Jethro's place.

After long consideration, she decided to take the bag with him.

…

Once they had arrived at the Castor Villa, Jonathan said, "Ms. McKinney, President Pearson is occupied with work today, and so he should be home very late."

"Okay," Leanna answered, rather confused.

Why was he telling her? She wasn't going to wait for him.

Jonathan let out a light cough and helped her with her luggage before saying, "Then, I'll leave first, Ms. McKinney."

She nodded lightly. "Yes, thank you."

"It's no problem. It's my duty."

As soon as he left, a servant came out when he heard the noise. When he noticed the luggage next to Leanna, he was bursting with joy. He took her suitcase and walked inside. "Madam, you're finally back! Have you completely reconciled with Mr. Pearson this time? I told you, it is inevitable for young couples to fight. That is what makes a relationship strong."

Leanna did not know how to react to this.

Her smile was a little awkward, and she wanted to explain that she was just here for a place to stay. Nonetheless, she felt that if she were to explain herself, it would only get worse. Therefore, she was too lazy to even say anything. Whatever, it doesn't matter.

On the second floor, the servant was just about to bring her luggage into the master bedroom when Leanna quickly pushed the bedroom door next to it.

This stunned the servant. "Madam, aren't you with—"

Leanna quickly cut her off with a smile and said, "I can unpack them myself. You can go."

When the servant heard this, he stopped inquiring further and resumed his duties prior to her arrival.

She closed the door and let out a breath.
