Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 523

Chapter 523

Leanna left Crossley Group around the afternoon and headed straight to the airport after she saw that it was almost time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got downstairs, she saw a man leaning on a Rolls-Royce not far away with a casual posture. His calm eyes were looking in her direction.

She was momentarily stupefied at the sight of him right before him. She didn’t even know what she was doing. By the time she had come to, she had instinctively run to him, thrown herself into his arms, and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.

Even though everyone had been reassuring her that Aidan was safe since last night, the feeling of uneasiness and fear within her lingered like a fog around the cemetery.

She finally felt a connection to the real world as she held him in a tight embrace, feeling his warmth seeping through her skin.

Aidan also wrapped his arms around her. “You missed me, huh?” he asked with a mirthful yet low voice.

Leanna’s grip only got tighter upon hearing his lighthearted remark. “I almost lost you.” Her voice was somewhat choked up as she couldn’t control her emotions.

He soothed her as he gently patted her back, “I will always show up as long as you want to see me.”

“I… I was going to pick you up…” Even though her voice was muffled as she pressed her face against his chest, he could still hear its nasal quality.

“I arrived early. I knew you would be eager to see me, so I came looking for you the first thing after I left the airport.”

Leanna didn’t argue with him, for she indeed yearned to see him. It got to the point that she wanted to see him as soon as he got off the plane.

Aidan ran his fingers through her hair and requested gently, “Seeing as how I’m only back after such a long time, can you do me a favor and get off work early this evening to spend some time with me?”

She immediately nodded. “Okay.”

I have Freddie watching over the situation at Crossley Group for me, and I’m not in the mood to do anything right now, either. So, if I stay, I will only be wasting everyone’s time, including my own.

He opened the car’s side door and tilted his head for her to hop in. “Get in.”

On their journey back, Leanna leaned on Aidan’s shoulder, completely leaning against him as she gradually felt her frayed nerves receiving respite after such a harrowing time. It didn’t take long for her to fall soundly asleep against him.

Aidan slightly tightened his hold around her and inaudibly breathed a sigh of relief. I would have gone insane if something had happened to her when I wasn’t around.
