Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 479

Chapter 479

Although Leanna hadn’t visited the mall in a while, she was never short of fancy clothes. After all, Aidan would always replace the clothes in her closet with the latest ones every season. Therefore, Leanna didn’t have to buy much for herself, unless it was something that caught her eye at first sight.

For that, she usually bought men’s apparel for Aidan. When Zoe saw what Leanna bought, she clicked her tongue and mocked the other woman, saying, “Seriously? Are you trying to make me feel bad or something?”

In response, Leanna smiled and said, “Yeah, you don’t say. By the way, your birthday is just around the corner. Is there anything you want? Tell me, and I’ll grant your wish.”

“I want a boyfriend.”

While Leanna was speechless, Zoe replied solemnly, “Fine, forget that I asked.” Then, she sat on a bench and set her eyes on the couple who were holding hands outside.

“Come on, why is it so hard for me to get a boyfriend when it’s a piece of cake for everyone else? Did I do something to piss Cupid off? All the men I’ve met are either jerks or idiots.” She sighed. A few seconds later, Zoe added, “You know what? I wish I could read my mom’s mind. She’s been calling and asking me to join speed dating.”

“Speed dating?”

“Yeah, she said that her former schoolmate’s son will be joining. She even told me that this guy has a promising job in a multinational company. Furthermore, my mom knows the man’s parents, so she assures me that this guy isn’t the same as Anthony.”

“What’s your take, then? Are you going to meet him?”

Zoe sighed and replied, “I don’t want to, but my mom is threatening to cast me away from home if I don’t go.” She paused for a second and continued, “Anyway, I have to admit that it may not be such a bad idea to spend the rest of my life with a man like this guy. At least I know my life is going to be peaceful and happy. However, I… I don’t want to force myself to accept someone I don’t love at all. If I had to do that, I’d be better off looking for a housemate instead.”

“I think your mom is worried about you. Perhaps you should sit down and talk to her about it.” Leanna nodded.

“Alright, that’s enough. I wish you’d know how tired I am of her nagging. Fine, I’ll do as she wishes this weekend and think of a reason to turn the man down by then. That should keep my mom’s mouth shut for a while.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

A few moments later, Leanna’s phone rang before she realized it was a call from Daniel. Thus, she walked to a corner and answered the call. Soon, she heard Daniel saying, “Miss McKinney, the autopsy results are out.”

“What does it say?” Leanna’s fingers tightened around the phone.
