Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 309

Chapter 309

When the alarm clock rang the next day, Leanna woke up, stretched her hand to the bedside table out of habit, and was surprised that she couldn’t feel the clock against her palm.

She closed her eyes and listened for a while before realizing that the sound of the alarm clock was coming from underneath the bed.

When she wanted to turn to her side to grab her phone, the arm around her waist was tightened, and she was pulled back against someone’s body.

She was caught unawares and was tugged straight into Aidan’s embrace.

Aidan kissed her ear, and his voice was hoarse from sleep as he mumbled half-awake, “Let’s sleep in.”

“I need to turn off the alarm.” Then, after a pause, she reminded him, “It’s 8. Don’t you have to go to the office?”

“No.”

“But I need to go to the studio,” Leanna muttered softly.

After a few seconds of silence, he slowly opened his eyes and teased, “You look pretty energized. I remembered someone begging me to stop last night. Who she was, I wonder.”

Leanna blushed shyly and huffed, “Can you be more civilized?”

“How can you expect a… Dog was it? To act civilized?”

As he taunted, his hand slowly moved down from her waist.

“No…” Leanna began to whine. “Stop…”

He gently kissed her neck. “Go later. You have your staff in the studio, right?”

“But I can’t just—”

Before she could even finish her words, her lips were sealed, and he effectively silenced her protests.

Soon, the morning passed.

It was already 1.00PM when Leanna arrived at the studio. She cursed Aidan repeatedly in her mind while limping into the studio, feeling sore all over.

Zoe was lazily sprawled over the reception desk, catching up on the drama. When she saw Leanna walking in with difficulty, she grinned cheekily and followed Leanna into her office.

Leanna was startled to see Zoe standing behind her. She patted her chest to calm herself down and said, “What’s up?”

Zoe closed the office door, pulled a chair to sit next to her, and winked. “How was it last night?”

“Wha—” Leanna was jittery as Zoe giggled and eyed her in amusement. She scratched her nose she gingerly sat down, desperately trying to come up with a topic to change the subject.

“When will you move to the Crossleys? I think I’d better stay out tonight to give you and Aidan some privacy. If I return, not only will I be an annoying third wheel, but I’ll end up disturbing your lovely moments. I don’t want Aidan’s efforts to be in vain, you know?”

She parted her lips repeatedly before she gave up on answering Zoe. Then, she massaged her neck and tried to smooth things over wearily, “What the heck are you talking about?”

Zoe clicked her tongue and tapped her finger against her lips. “I’m talking about the hickeys on your neck.”

Her remark made Leanna gasp in shock, and she quickly pulled her collar up.

No way! How does she see them? I specifically wore a turtleneck sweater today and even double-checked it before I left the house!

“I lied.” Zoe giggled mischievously.

Leanna slapped her arm with a pout. “I need to draw the design drafts. So go ahead and get busy.”

Zoe rose to her feet and was about to leave when she recalled something. “Oh yes, when will you move? I need to return to my hometown in the next two days.”

“Why? Did something happen?”

“It’s nothing serious. My mom sprained her ankle and had to be hospitalized for a few days, but my dad is very clumsy. I wouldn’t trust him with the dishes, much less a patient. I haven’t seen them for a while, so I might as well take this chance to visit them.”

“Alright, go then.” Leanna nodded. “I think… I’ll move to the Crossleys in a couple of days.”

“Okay, it’s about time. I’ve informed the owner that we’ll be moving out. So when I return, we’ll move our things.”
