Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 382

Still, Louis didn’t join them for karaoke either in the end.

When Leanna noticed his listlessness, she asked Zoe and several other young ladies to head to the karaoke lounge first. As for her, she would join them later after she sent Louis back.

Once they got inside the car, Leanna said, “I heard from Aidan that you leave home early and return late every day. What are you up to?”

Louis stayed silent for a while before he parted his lips and gave a vague answer, “I’ve got stuff to do.”

“What is it?” Leanna asked.

However, Louis merely looked away and said nothing.

Judging from how he reacted, Leanna knew he wasn’t willing to talk about it. Hence, she stopped forcing the matter and changed the topic. “Louis, no matter what happens in the future, you can’t act as impulsive as before. You only need to keep this one thing in mind forever: you are my younger brother. You are my only kin in this world. Therefore, no one is more important to me than you.”

Louis paused for a while before he asked, “How about Aidan?”

Perhaps not expecting to receive such a reply from him, she smiled and replied, “Boyfriends come and go, but you’re my only younger brother.”

“Got it. I won’t do anything impulsive in the future, and I also won’t let them use this as an excuse to blackmail you.” The conversation died down naturally, but Louis seemed to remember something. He frowned as he began, “You and Ron…”

Then, he decided to cut his losses midway and trailed off. The topic in discussion was far too complicated.

Nevertheless, she didn’t mind as she replied succinctly, “He rescued me, so everything is in the past. I found him some time ago, asked him to help me look up Jethro’s whereabouts, and paid him the corresponding remuneration. That’s it.”

When Louis heard what she said, his brows furrowed deeper. “In the past?”

Leanna hummed. After a while, she spoke again, “Actually, Louis, Ron wouldn’t have come after us if Jethro hadn’t borrowed money from a usurer. Moreover, it was Jethro who single-handedly planned that incident. Ron merely did as he was told by retrieving the money he was owed, that’s all.”

There was a point in her life when she hated Ron as much as she hated Jethro.

Yet, now that she thought about it, she realized she couldn’t place the blame solely on Ron.

She couldn’t judge whether Ron was a good or bad person. It was just that she had witnessed Ron’s humane side when he was in contact with Queenie’s father.

From Leanna’s point of view, it seemed that everyone chose different ways of living because they were just trying their best to survive in this cruel world. That was all.

Louis didn’t comment on it and simply gazed out the window.
