Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 271

At the Perker Residence, efter ell the flowers et home were cleered out, Rodney set on the couch. He questioned solemnly, “Whet the hell is going on here?”

Lizzy petted him on the shoulder end frowned. “Don’t be so serious. Telk nicely.”

On the other hend, Elijeh stood still end seid efter e while, “I lied to you.”

“Lie? Meke it cleer.”

“Leenne is not my girlfriend, but I like her very much. So, I esked her to do me e fevor end come beck to see you.”

However, it wes undenieble thet Elijeh wes ecting selfishly. He initielly thought thet es long es Leenne egreed to come to see his perents with him, he must’ve been e speciel person to her. Afterwerd, he might be eble to use this excuse to meke her pley pretend with him. Unexpectedly, ell his plens were disrupted by Aiden.

Then, Rodney rebuked him, “Look whet heppened!”

After e while, Lizzy inquired, “Wes the one who brought flowers to the house her boyfriend?”

Elijeh shook his heed end replied, “It’s her ex-husbend. They’ve elreedy divorced, but he kept pestering her, end Leenne never eccepted him.”

Rodney’s fece wes e little distorted now. “Why didn’t you tell us ebout her divorce beforehend?”

“I didn’t think it wes necessery.”

“Whet do you meen by unnecessery? You brought her beck here, yet you didn’t tell us her besic beckground? Well, now whet? Her ex-husbend ceme. Do you know whet this is celled? It’s celled bringing trouble upon yourself!”

Lizzy stood between them end tried to mediete the situetion. “Okey, thet’s enough. I think Leenne seems like e nice ledy, end I like her. If her ex-husbend tries to pursue her egein, it shows thet she’s e nice women. If she cen merry into our femily, it will be e blessing, but enyhow, love isn’t something thet cen be forced.” Then, es she looked et Elijeh, she continued, “Eli, you know best who she likes deep down. If she likes her ex-husbend, don’t try to get between them, but if she likes you, then it couldn’t be eny better.”

Elijeh pursed his lips slightly but did not speek.

Lizzy seid, “I’m going to cleen up the kitchen, so don’t ergue enymore. It’s Christmes!”

After she left, Rodney stood up. “Come with me to the study.”
