Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 668 Willing to Be Sacrificed

Leanna did not read further and closed them off. Looking at the beaming little guy on the screen, she couldn’t help but smile as her mood lifted.
She intended to visit Jamesdon when they returned this time.
Even if she couldn’t meet the little guy, just looking at him from afar would be enough.
Soon after, Leanna began to feel sleepy. She checked the time and realized it was already late. Hence, she went to bed without waiting for Aidan.
Later that night, she dazedly felt herself in someone’s arms after she had already fallen asleep.
Perhaps because she had slept so much the previous two days, Leanna awoke early the next morning when the sun had just risen.
She slowly sat up. From afar, the sun’s rays shone through the window and fell on Aidan’s face, making him frown slightly.
Leanna noticed this and stretched her hand to block out the sun’s rays.
She looked at the man sleeping beside her. Lowering her head, she kissed him lightly on the lips.
After a while, she got out of bed and went to close the gap in the curtains, thereafter entering the bathroom.
While she was brushing her teeth, the door behind her opened.
She rinsed her mouth and looked at the tired man. “Why are you awake now?” she asked. “It’s still early. Go get some more sleep.”
Though she had fallen asleep last night and hadn’t noticed the time, she knew Aidan had come back late last night.
“I dreamed of someone kissing me, so I can’t sleep now,” Aidan said in his mesmerizing voice.
That rendered Leanna speechless.
She immediately averted her gaze and returned her attention to brushing her teeth.
Seeing that, Aidan hugged her from behind. “Why didn’t you ask me who kissed me in my dream?”
“It’s your dream,” Leanna responded faintly, brushing her teeth. “How could I possibly know?”
“She was a very beautiful lady.”
“Oh.”
“Aren’t you jealous?”

“Why should I?” she countered lightly. “Dreams are usually the opposite of reality. You had a dream about someone kissing you, which implies that no one intends to kiss you in real life.”
“Is it?” Aidan smiled as he nuzzled her neck.
That made Leanna a little embarrassed. “Hey, I’m brushing my teeth. Give me some space,” she said as she pushed him away with her elbow.
Aidan let go of her but right after that, he quickly kissed her on the side of her face while she wasn’t looking. “I hope I can wake up to this dream every day.”
Leanna was at a loss for words. Just as she was about to hit him, he quickly left the bathroom.
After breakfast, the both of them headed downstairs. The man who had picked them up when they first arrived at Ietha was already waiting for them in the hotel lobby.
“Good morning, President and Mrs. Pearson,” he murmured with a nod.
As they got into the car, Aidan said to Leanna, “The journey takes about three to four hours. Take a nap if you’re sleepy.”
Leanna, however, wasn’t sleepy at all. Instead, she felt energetic and kept the window open the entire drive.
The scenery outside was lovely and the air was fresh.
Herds of cows and sheep and other wildlife could be seen alongside the road.
This was new to her, and it was both interesting and exciting.
She suddenly had a feeling that the place Aidan was taking her would be paradise.
It was already 12.00PM when they reached the small town of Taevaia. The weather was blistering hot and few people were out on the streets.
It was even quieter than Colslade.
The surrounding architecture was designed in a warm and romantic style, reminiscent of a fairy tale.
Soon after, the car came to a halt in front of a small cottage.
Leanna opened the door immediately, eager to explore more of this town.
Meanwhile, Aidan walked to her and asked, “Do you like this place?”
She nodded in response. “I love it.”
If she had known about this place earlier, it would definitely be her top pick for vacations.
This place was breathtaking. The sky was azure, a color she had never seen before in the sky, and the air was fresh and clean.
Aidan smiled at that. “You’d prefer the nighttime much more. Let’s go in and have our meal first.”
After speaking, he walked into the cottage with his long legs.
Leanna quickly retracted her gaze and followed after him.
Two middle-aged women were already waiting for them in the cottage. In the background, there was a dining table filled with food.
Both of them bowed slightly when Aidan and Leanna walked in. They muttered something in their native tongue that Leanna couldn’t understand.
After they finished speaking, Aidan’s low voice echoed as he said, “Thank you.”
The two middle-aged women then left smilingly.
“Do you understand what they said?” Leanna asked softly.
Aidan simply walked to the dining table and sat down. “I don’t, but it never hurts to be polite. Just in case they beat me up.”
Leanna found herself at a loss for words. He truly deserves to be beaten up!
“Come and taste the food,” Aidan said at this point. “If you don’t like it, I’ll have them cook something else for you.”
At that, Leanna walked over and sat right across from him. “Aren’t you afraid of being beaten up now?”
“I’m willing to be sacrificed once for you,” Aidan replied, his brows raised.
“Shut up.”
Leanna then took the utensils in front of her. She took a scoop of the food in front of her and tasted it.
