Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 648 What Are You Looking At?

“Who did you say I was cheating with?”
As soon as Tina blurted her statement, an indifferent male voice sounded from behind her.
Immediately, she froze and only turned around after standing still for a few seconds. She withdrew her proud expression, stared at the man in front of her, and stuttered, “P-President Pearson…”
Standing on the spot, Aidan gazed at her calmly. “Tell me. Whom am I cheating with?”
Tina was merely able to make such a bold statement in front of Daphne, and despite having the guts to, she wouldn’t dare say that in front of Aidan.
Immediately, her face turned pale and she subconsciously clenched her fists tightly. Forcing a smile, she explained, “I-I was just joking with Daphne. There are rumors about it…”
In a calm manner, Aidan countered, “Really? Are there rumors about it?”
Tina felt uneasy all of a sudden as a chill ran down her spine. Hence, she tried to clear herself of suspicion. “I don’t know where it started, but occasionally, rumors like that would spread… But I definitely believe in you and Daphne.”
“So, you’re saying that you picked up rumors and talked nonsense in front of my wife?”
Tina’s lips turned purple after she heard Aidan’s tone gradually turn cold. Immediately, she tried to save herself, “President Pearson, I don’t mean it that way. It was just a joke… No, I shouldn’t have picked up rumors… I swear I did it unintentionally.”
Turning sideways to glance at her, he remarked, “Your boss recently came to initiate a collaboration with me. I guess it is unnecessary now.”
Her face turned ashen. It was true that her fame had risen sharply in the past two years and the company was willing to invest money and resources in her. However, if she became the main reason for the company to lose potential cooperation with Pearson Group, her boss would never let her go easily.
“President Pearson—”
Aidan’s patience had been exhausted. Coldly, he spat, “Get out.”
Not daring to stay any longer for fear of offending him, Tina hurriedly entered the car that was parked beside her. “Go, now!” she instructed the driver.
After the car drove away, Tina was finally able to calm down. Belatedly, she realized what Aidan had just said. Talk nonsense in front of my wife.
Her expression distorted a little as she quickly fished out her phone and searched for information on Aidan’s wife online.

Among the few photos she found, there was one that went viral before. It was a photo where they kissed in the rain, and only Leanna’s side profile was visible.
After enlarging the photo to the maximum, she slumped into the seat.
The woman in the photo was one of the ladies looking for Daphne this afternoon.
Tina, on the other hand, blurted those words unknowingly. Daphne must be mocking her statement in her heart.
Exiting the page, Tina clenched her teeth.
She then grabbed her phone again a few minutes later and called her boss.
I can’t just sit around like this.
…
On the other hand, Daphne, Zoe, and Charlotte stared at Aidan after Tina’s departure. All of them were shocked by his coldness and oppressiveness earlier.
After scanning them, Aidan questioned, “What are you looking at?”
All of them withdrew their gaze and continued eating with their heads lowered.
Since he didn’t enjoy eating what they ate, Leanna suggested, “Why don’t you wait for me in the car? It might take some time for us to finish our food.”
Striding over and taking a seat beside her, Aidan commented, “I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Erm… Should I order a sticky toffee pudding for you?”
“Sure.”
Looking at the rest, Leanna asked, “Do you guys want one too?”
Charlotte raised her hand. “Sure! I haven’t tried it before.”
“Okay,” Leanna hummed.
Walking over to the stall, she ordered two servings of sticky toffee pudding.
The stickiness of the toffee pudding and the sweetness of the ice cream were a great combination. It was her favorite dessert back in university.
Leanna turned around and was about to return after paying for the food. It was then that she noticed people chatting under the yellow streetlights, creating a hustling and bustling scene. Aidan, who was in a suit, sat in front of the table with his sleeves rolled up. Despite looking out of place, he somehow added a hint of chilly aura to the scene. He was the jarring element that made the dessert stall distinct. Everything else around him also seemed to integrate due to his presence.
Watching the scene, Leanna smiled.
Who would’ve thought that Aidan would come to a dessert stall with her one day?
Soon, the sticky toffee puddings were served to Aidan and Charlotte.
Leanna passed them each a spoon. Charlotte couldn’t wait to have a taste of it. Due to the coolness of the ice cream, she couldn’t form a coherent sentence but still complimented, “This is so good!”
“Slow down and enjoy it.” Leanna chuckled.
“How does it taste?” She then turned to Aidan.
Aidan placed the spoon down with a poker face. “Tastes alright. It’s too sweet for my liking, and the caramel isn’t creamy enough.”
Leanna was speechless at that. I shouldn’t have expected anything from a picky eater!
