Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 748 He Won’t Agree to It

When Leanna woke up the following morning, the little guy had already woken up and was playing with his toys.

With that, she sat up and gazed toward the couch. Sure enough, Aidan was sleeping there. One way or the other, he had calmed down for the night.

Moving quietly, Leanna brought her little man downstairs without waking Aidan up.

Downstairs, Naomi was already making breakfast in the kitchen, and Waylen was dozing off at the dining table.

Before heading into the kitchen to help, Leanna placed the little one in his high chair and asked Waylen to help look after him.

“You weren’t too scared yesterday, were you?” Naomi asked, to which Leanna shook her head. “It was a little dangerous, but fortunately, their injuries weren’t severe.”

At that, Naomi sighed silently. “Be it in Highside or Jamesdon, these incidents keep coming one after another. I’m sorry you have to go through all of this.”

“I’m alright…” While speaking, Leanna grabbed the scrambled egg from Naomi and whispered, “Let me handle it… Mom.”

“Careful, it’s a little hot,” Naomi reminded casually, and Leanna nodded. “Okay.”

With that, Naomi turned around to grab the cutlery, and it was only then she realized something was off. She gazed at Leanna, seemingly still wrapping her head around what had just happened. “What did you just call me?”

“Mom,” Leanna said with a smile, and Naomi, too, pulled a smile after processing for a few seconds. “When did you two get registered?”

“Just two days before we came to Jamesdon.”

“When do you guys plan on holding the wedding, then?”

“We’re not sure yet,” Leanna said. “It might be a while before we settle on a date; the end of the year if soonest.”

“That’s good.” Naomi smiled. “That’s one wish crossed. If Aidan ever bullies you, let me know.”

“Thanks, Ms—Mom.”


Naomi patted her shoulder. “No rush. You’ll get used to it slowly.”

…

Waylen was about to head upstairs after finishing breakfast when Leanna followed behind him. “What’s up?” he asked.

Leanna looked over her shoulder at once. Seeing Aidan playing with their little one a distance away, she lowered her voice. “If Aidan asks you about my situation, don’t tell him. Also, don’t mention anything about cord blood either.”

“Why?” Waylen asked, baffled.

“He won’t agree to it if he knows.”

At that, Waylen leaned against the railing and mulled over it for a moment before agreeing. “Got it. I’ll keep it from him.”

Though the general idea of increasing their chances of conceiving another child was to heal her body, it still wasn’t as simple as it sounded.

Leanna would have to endure many hardships during the process, and even if she was lucky enough to conceive a child in the end, because of the medication she had to take during pre-pregnancy, she might experience some adverse reactions during the pregnancy. It would undoubtedly be more challenging than her previous childbirth.

“Well, let me know after you’ve prepared the medicine,” Leanna said.

“Will do.”

With that, Leanna turned around to leave, only for Waylen to stop her. “Yes?” she asked, turning back around.

“Though I didn’t specifically explain how difficult the process would be, I’m sure you already have a good idea of it by now,” Waylen said. “So, I hope you’ll mull over it again…”

“There’s nothing to mull over.” Leanna smiled. “I’ve already made up my mind.”

Yes, it would be difficult, but she was certain it wouldn’t be harder than when she thought her boy was gone for good.

“Understood. Wait for my call.”

Thank you.”

A week later, Daphne’s show officially aired.

Despite many people doubting its success, the show quickly climbed up the hot search rankings with several trending topics.

One of the topics had been anticipated even before the show aired—’Tina Anderson and Daphne Shirley finally appear together.’

To escalate the buzz around the trending topic, Tina and her team launched an extensive marketing campaign, claiming Tina outshone Daphne and appeared much better overall, as well as comparing the two in various other aspects.

On the other hand, Daphne might no longer have a team, but her popularity and fanbase remained strong. Hence, Tina’s popularity didn’t increase much, even with the extensive marketing campaign. If anything, most people thought Daphne obviously surpassed her in many aspects when the two stood together.

Apart from this particular trending topic, the topics of other celebrities also fluctuated on the hot search rankings. However, just then, a new trending topic instantly shot up to the number one spot—’Daphne Shirley and Louis McKinney, highly attractive partners.’

The video clip that appeared after clicking on this topic was of Daphne and Louis in the first room, working together to find clues.

The lighting and setting were just right, and the clip alone looked more like a scene from a teenage rom-com than from a reality TV show.

The Novel will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
