Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 750 He Has Other Intentions

After a few exchanges, they ran out of topics again.

Daphne decided to just lower her head and focus on eating.

A while later, Louis asked, “What plans do you have after your contract with the Pearson Group ends?”

At the mention of that, Daphne let out a sigh and leaned against the couch. “I don’t have any solid plans for now, but I haven’t had a break in years. After dealing with the work I have now, it’s about time I take the opportunity to rest. It’s like giving myself a break. As for everything else, I’ll think about them later.”

With that, she continued, “You’re starting school soon, right?”

Louis nodded. “Next week.”

Daphne thought for a moment and said, “You’d better tell Jellyfish Entertainment and ask them to arrange an assistant for you. From what I saw online, a lot of your personal information was leaked. They know where you’re studying, so some crazed fans might stir up trouble.”

“Got it.”

The two conversed sporadically, and the atmosphere improved significantly.

Before they knew it, they had finished most of the food on the coffee table.

When Louis wasn’t looking, Daphne stared at him for a long while.

She heard about Leanna’s family situation, and she knew the siblings had suffered a lot during their younger days. Perhaps because of this, she never saw Louis wasting anything…

Even though he wasn’t a talkative person, he always managed to gather attention.

He always kept himself clean, and he was also good-looking.

All of a sudden, Daphne was curious about his past.

While she was still staring at him in a daze, Louis sensed her gaze and looked her in the eye. “What’s the matter?”

Daphne instinctively turned her head away. “N-Nothing. I’ve had too much. What about you?”

“I’m fine.”

Daphne got up and gathered the trash on the table. “I’ll throw these out, then?”

Louis took the trash from her hands. “Let me do it. It’s getting late, so you shouldn’t go downstairs.”

Daphne replied, “No, I’m feeling very full, so I have to go down and take a walk. If not, I won’t be able to sleep.”

Louis was silent for a few seconds. “Since that’s the case, you should change into something else.”


Daphne didn’t say anything.

She lowered her head to look, realizing that she was still wearing her pajamas.

Daphne dashed back into her bedroom.

Ten minutes had elapsed by the time she came out again after changing.

She tidied her hair and wiped her face, and she even put on some lipstick.

Daphne slowly walked over to Louis and took the trash from his hand, saying calmly, “Let’s go.”

Louis grabbed his stuff, a faint smile on his thin lips as he followed behind her.

They arrived downstairs and discarded the trash, then walked around the community for around half an hour.

Daphne said, “After you start school, will you be staying on campus, or will you be living at your rental place?”

“The rental place.”

Daphne thought he had a point. University dorms were too noisy; given Louis’ personality, he probably preferred a quiet environment.

They walked for a bit longer. Daphne noticed that it was getting late, so she started walking back.

Louis walked with her back to the entrance of her house. “Go on in.”

Daphne turned around. “The subway probably isn’t running now. Take care when you go back.”

Louis nodded. “Okay.”

Daphne waved at him. “See you next time.”

“Goodnight.”

Daphne paused for a moment before saying, “Goodnight.”

When Daphne closed the door, Louis finally averted his gaze. He stood where he was for a few minutes, then walked to the emergency exit. He glanced around him, and after confirming that there were no traces of Theodore hanging around, he slowly left by taking the stairs.

Once on the ground floor, Louis found a spot to sit down, then took out his phone and started reading a French thesis.

At 2.00AM, a security guard was on patrol when he noticed someone sitting there. When he walked over to the person and recognized them, he said, “Louis? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

Louis looked up, unaffected as he licked his lips. “Nothing.”

Seeing that Louis was reluctant to open up, the security guard didn’t ask more as he suggested, “Why don’t you stay in the security room? It’s quite cold out here at night, and they just bought supper. You can have some.”

Louis said, “Thank you, but I’m not hungry. Please continue patrolling the area. I’ll be leaving in a bit.”

The security guard wasn’t done with his patrol yet, so he didn’t stay for long. “Alright. If you need anything, just ask the security room for help.”

Louis nodded. “Alright.”

When the security guard left, Louis felt a little tired from sitting, so he put away his phone and walked around downstairs.

He spent the entire night walking around.

At daybreak, when the community got busier, Louis finally left.

…

After a night’s sleep, Daphne got up for a morning run. It was probably because she had eaten too much last night.

When she had run two rounds around the man-made lake beside the community, the security guard called out to her, saying, “Miss Shirley.”

Daphne turned around. “What’s the matter?”

The security guard walked over with a mysterious look as he gossiped in a low voice, asking, “Did you and your boyfriend overdo it last night?”

Daphne was confused. “What?”

The security guard said, “He lingered around the ground floor all night last night, and he didn’t even go to the security room to rest when I asked him to.”
