Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 108

No one was happier than Zoe about Leanna's return.

Once she reported for duty at Harvey's office, Zoe immediately pulled Leanna into her room. "Nana, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I just came back the day before yesterday," Leanna said. "Zoe, Jethro is dead."

Then, she proceeded to briefly explain everything to Zoe, including the photos found in Jethro's suitcase.

After Zoe heard all this, she felt a wave of relief. "I'm not surprised at all. But, Jethro, he…does not look like a father to me. No matter how much of a jerk you are, you wouldn't have betrayed your own daughter like that. He's really shameless."

With that, she asked again, "Then, what are you going to do now? Are you going to find your biological father?"

Leanna shook her head. "Forget it."

"Why? Don't you want to know what happened back then?"

"Regardless of what happened, it has been so many years. There's not much reason for me to uncover them."

Hearing this, Zoe seemed to think for a while before asking tentatively, "Nana, is this because of Lou?"

She knew Leanna too well. For her, a father she couldn't remember was nothing compared to her younger brother, who had been dependent on each other since she was young.

Leanna smiled lightly. "That's not it; you're overthinking. I just think that life is finally starting to calm down after Jethro dies. I don't want to let myself step into another unknown situation. Moreover, he should come and find me if he is still alive. This means that he is no longer in this world or might be married to someone else and have his own children. Wouldn't it make both of us unhappy if I were to look for him?"

After Zoe thought about it, she seemed to agree with Leanna. So, she changed the topic. "But compared to this, I'm more curious about something else."

"What is it?"


"Are you and Aidan remarrying?"

Leanna did not answer.

Zoe was serious about this. "Don't try to escape. After what you told me last time, I thought about it again. Even if Aidan likes you, the feeling of a b*stard like him wouldn't be true. Look at Mia. Wasn't it rumored that she was going to marry Aidan? Yet, she did not. That b*stard must be coveting your beauty. On a whim, lust filled his heart."

When Leanna heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched. It took her a while before she answered, "I know."

Even if Zoe didn't say it, Leanna knew very well that Aidan's sudden liking towards her might have stemmed from her silently following behind him while being a good wife dutifully.

When she stopped being Mrs. Pearson and started her own life, she was no longer submissive. Instead, she felt like a new person. All men were b*stards at the end of the day.

Just like what he said, three years was a long time. They've slept together countless times. If he wanted to like her, he would have already.

At this point, Leanna was quite self-aware.

Then, Zoe spoke again, "Nana, you came back just in time. I'll move in with you. I've decided to sell my house. Every time I go back to that house, I think about how Anthony had lived there before. It's disgusting."

Leanna let out an awkward laugh once she heard Zoe's suggestion.

This confused Zoe.

Leanna rubbed her neck uneasily and said, "You can move right in. I…don't live there anymore."

"Huh? Where do you live? Did you rent another house?"

Leanna knew that she couldn't hide it for long, so she simply told Zoe the truth.

Zoe was speechless after hearing that.

Then, after a while, she earnestly said, "Nana, for the sake of our many years of friendship, if you and that b*stard—if you and President Pearson get back together, don't tell him about the things I've said. Give me a way out."

…

When Leanna and Zoe came out of the office, they bumped into Queenie, who was here to pick up a luxurious customized piece for a customer.

It was obvious that Zoe and Queenie did not get along well together. The two could barely look each other in the eyes, let alone maintain a superficial relationship as colleagues.

Just as a few people passed by, a clear female voice sounded. "Please wait."

She turned around and looked at Leanna. "You're also a designer for Lux Jewelry, am I right? If my guess is right, you're the designer for the 'First Love' series, McK?"

Leanna nodded slightly. "Hello."

"I've come to Lux Magazine a few times but didn't get to meet you. I thought you resigned."

"I had some personal issues to settle, so I took a long leave."
