Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 423

After ten minutes, Aidan was finally done with his call.

He came over and stood beside Leanna. Curling her hair around his finger, he asked, “Why didn’t you dry your hair completely?”

“It’s a little too cumbersome since it’s so long,” Leanna said. “It’ll dry out by itself.”

“Wait here.”

Aidan went to the bathroom.

Soon, he came out with the hairdryer and fiddled with the settings before standing behind Leanna to gently dry her hair for her. “Remember to dry your hair completely next time. You can cut it shorter if it’s too long for you to handle.”

Leanna didn’t know what to say.

The hairdryer wasn’t too loud.

“President Pearson,” Leanna called out.

“Yes?”

“Can you tell me about Violet’s birth mother now?”

Aidan smirked. “I thought you said you weren’t all that curious anyway.”

Leanna clenched her jaw and turned around to glare at him.

Is this b*stard still trying to be smug about it?

Aidan’s smile deepened. Leanna’s hair was dry enough now, so he set the hairdryer aside and said, “Oh, alright. I’m just teasing you.”

“So? What’s the deal?” Leanna asked.

Aidan took a seat beside Leanna and slowly started explaining, “Violet’s birth mother married another man after leaving the Kramers. She had a son, and not too long ago, her son was taken into custody because he got into a fight. She’s in urgent need of a large sum of money to resolve her son’s crisis.”

Earlier on, Leanna had figured from Aidan’s words that Violet’s birth mother must’ve shown up because of money.

“However, she hasn’t been all that complacent the past few years,” Aidan continued. “After being sent away, she tried to get even more money from the Kramers several times. Although Mrs. Kramer’s mental state had been a little unstable, she still nipped this matter in the bud quite adeptly. Violet’s birth mother eventually gave up after a few attempts. She came to Violet’s birthday party this time because she heard that Mrs. Kramer had died a few years ago.”

Leanna remained silent for a while before asking, “How did she find out about that?”

Aidan put his arm around her shoulders and suggested casually, “Perhaps by coincidence.”

“Is it really a coincidence?” Leanna asked doubtfully.

Aidan caught her questioning gaze and chuckled. “I have nothing to do with it. I hadn’t moved in with the Pearsons yet when Violet was born. As you said, this happened a long time ago and was a well-kept secret. Few people knew about it. It wouldn’t be that easy to discover.”
