Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 486

Meanwhile, since Douglas was hospitalized, Carly and Marilyn never returned to Barnett Residence. Although Carly specially arranged for a servant to deliver meals to her, Georgina still kept her guard up all the same.

Georgina had secretly inquired about Leanna’s situation before. Therefore, she learned from the information she acquired that Leanna didn’t get into a car accident. This could only mean one thing—her plan failed.

Even so, Aidan’s men were still looking for her. So, Georgina held the jewelry she took from Violet and wandered around several places. Eventually, she succeeded in sneaking into Barnett Residence without anyone the wiser.

Fortunately, she hadn’t been in touch with Carly for a long time. In addition, the Barnetts could hardly fend for themselves now. Thus, Aidan would never suspect Georgina to hide in Barnett Residence.

Then again, staying here is not a long-term solution either. I have to find a way to get the Barnetts to send me abroad. Now that Zayn is in Swiysal, the Barnetts should have a way to get me out of the country without being discovered by Aidan!

When she thought of the plausibilities, she immediately gave Carly a call. Yet, Carly never once picked up her phone.

Georgina furrowed her brows slightly as a wave of annoyance rose within her. She also couldn’t help but feel snubbed while she thought, I can’t go out now, and I don’t know Mr. Barnett’s current condition. If Carly intends to avoid me, there’s a high chance she would drag her feet when meeting me.

Soon, she heard the sound of footsteps from outside the door just as the sky turned dark.

However, unlike the set of footsteps from before, these sounded firm and purposeful. So, when she considered these factors, she quickly concluded that an unknown man was sauntering down the corridor.

Georgina instantly made a mad grab for the fruit knife on the coffee table. She curled her fingers around her choice of weapon tightly as she gave the door a sharp glare.

Shortly after, the door opened, and in came a man with a slender and tall figure.

Nevertheless, her frown only deepened at the sight as she gasped in disbelief, “Oh, it’s you.” Then, after a beat, she added, “Why are you here? Wait. No. When did you return?”

Zayn stood by the door and merely stared at her quietly. His gaze gradually traveled downward and landed on the fruit knife in her hand. Finally, he parted his lips and drawled, “Miss Crossley, you are a guest of the Barnetts, so of course, I have to greet you in person.”
