Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 306

Leanna had warned Aidan not to say anything, but in reality, it was Elijah who remained silent.

The atmosphere was so awkward that Leanna couldn’t help but fidget from time to time, whereas Aidan, who sat next to her, remained calm and unruffled. Leanna had hoped that she could be as carefree as him so that she would not feel so tense and uneasy.

At this moment, a waiter came over and handed them the menu. Elijah naturally passed the menu to Leanna and said, “Here, see what you want to have tonight.”

Leanna was about to take the menu when Aidan snatched it and flipped the menu. He ordered a few dishes that Leanna loved and then returned to his quiet and dispassionate state.

“That’s all.” Leanna chuckled awkwardly.

The waiter nodded and left.

As Leanna had expected, Elijah couldn’t talk as freely as he wanted because of Aidan’s presence. However, he chatted with Leanna for a while and stopped talking throughout dinner.

The dinner ended on such a painfully embarrassing note.

After Leanna excused herself and went to the restroom, Aidan said, “If I’m not mistaken, you are here because of what happened at Crossley Group’s bidding session today.”

Elijah merely smiled gently. “Pardon me, but you’re wrong, Mr. Pearson. I didn’t even go to the bidding session, so I didn’t know what had happened. I’m here just to have dinner with Leanna.”

“Is that so? In that case, I should take the time to meet your parents.”

Elijah’s expression became colder and gloomier when he heard Aidan’s remark.

Aidan continued flatly, “I don’t care why you are here, nor do I care about the motives behind your actions, but don’t drag Leanna into your mess.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t hurt Leanna even without your warning.”

When Leanna came out of the restroom, she realized that Elijah’s seat was empty and assumed that Aidan must have said something unpleasant again that forced Elijah to take his leave without even saying goodbye.
