Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 176

After hanging up, Leanna let out a deep breath and returned to the living room.

Zoe asked, “What happened? What did that b*stard say?”

Leanna curled up cozily on the couch and said wearily, “He asked me to go somewhere with him this weekend.”

“But you…”

“That’s why I rejected him.”

Zoe pondered for a moment before she leaned over and asked, “Sweetie, don’t you think that Aidan is acting a little bit strange lately?”

Leanna scoffed at her question. “He’s not only strange. He’s practically torturing me even more than usual.”

“Do you think he’s really torturing you?”

Leanna felt exhausted, and even her voice sounded tired. “What else could it be?”

Zoe summarized, “Don’t you think that his recent actions are almost like an elementary schooler who doesn’t know how to show his affection and always uses silly ways to get the attention of the girl that he likes?”

Leanna turned speechless. After a long silence, she reached up and touched Zoe’s forehead with a hand, touching her own with the other. She said with a frown, “You don’t have a fever, do you?”

“Hey.” Zoe pushed her hand away. “I’m being serious. Besides, didn’t that b*stard admit that he likes you before? I think that there’s a high chance I could be right.”

Leanna settled into the couch again and said indifferently, “To someone like him, like is just an adjective that doesn’t have any significant meaning.”

Zoe sighed, agreeing with her.

After that, Zoe went out to throw the trash.

Five minutes later, she rushed back inside with an excited expression. “Nana! Nana!”

Leanna asked, “What happened?”

“Do you remember that mixed-race hottie we met in the elevator? I saw him again just now. Guess what, he’s the neighbor who just moved in next to us! He’s moved in for a few days already, so we should go over and say hello.” Saying that, Zoe ran into the bathroom. “No, no, I have to go and wash my hair and do my makeup so that I won’t scare him away.”

Seeing that, Leanna smiled. “There’s a cake I bought in the fridge. You can give it to him.”

“Love you!”

Because of Aidan’s phone call, Leanna wasn’t in the mood to work on her drafts anymore. She changed her clothes instead, deciding to go for a jog. Before she left, she asked, “Zoe, I’m going out. Do you need anything?”

“Get me some supper. I didn’t eat enough at dinner.”

“All right.”
