Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 455

“Uh-huh,” Leanna mumbled softly. “What’s wrong with you?”

Zoe let out a sigh before saying wistfully, “It’s nothing. It’s just that Daniel came to me just now and said he’s leaving.”

Leanna involuntarily frowned at her words. “When?”

“It still needs to be decided. He just said he’ll probably leave after Lloyd gets arrested.”

“Are you… Stop it!”

Zoe was puzzled. What’s going on?

A noise could be heard on the other end. Then, Leanna finally continued, “I mean, no matter what, you’ve got to talk things through with him instead of letting him go like this.”

“Never mind. It’s a good thing that he’s leaving, anyway.” Zoe lay down on the couch and took a swallow of wine to drown her sorrows. “I’d better go out with someone younger than me instead. I’ve got plenty of money for that, after all.”

“Zoe, I… Aidan!”

Zoe was rendered speechless. Suddenly, she realized that she might’ve made a grave mistake. She hastily said, “Alright, then. If there’s anything, let’s talk about it at our studio tomorrow. I gotta go! Bye!” With that, she quickly hung up the phone, feeling as though having saved herself from the brink of mortal danger.

On the other hand, Leanna couldn’t help but frown as she turned to look at Aidan. “You’re so annoying!”

The man looked up at her. “Don’t you get annoyed for having to leave me behind halfway through our business?”

She was at a loss for a reply. Feeling somewhat guilty, she said in a softened voice, “Well, I can’t ignore Zoe, right? She has said that, after all.”

He wrapped his arm around her waist, his thin lips pressing down on hers. In a deep and husky voice, he said, “There’s no time to lose, honey.”

…

A long time had passed after the ringing of the alarm clock when Leanna woke up the next day. She rolled over, feeling sore all over. All of a sudden, she regretted moving back in with Aidan. Nobody’s gonna be able to stand being like this every single day. She lay in bed for a while before pushing herself out of bed and entering the bathroom. After taking a hot shower, she felt much more comfortable.
