Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 790 Seems Like They Fought

Aidan hummed in response and concurred, "Yes, it's my business."

After sniffling several times, Leanna suggested, "So let's do what we can, okay?"

But Aidan held her in his arms without saying a word.

He finally agreed after a long while, "Okay."

He knew that even if he didn't agree, Leanna wouldn't give up.

That was because she even gave up the opportunity to participate in Fashion Week just for this matter.

Therefore, she would continue to take medicine and injections behind his back.

Instead of that happening, he would rather bear these pressures with her.

Waylen said that Leanna's bad mood and loss of appetite were all side effects of taking medicine and injections.

There was no other way to deal with it other than letting her bear through it.

As the treatment progressed, her mood swings would only get worse.

Therefore, she did not need someone to tell her what she should do but someone who could help her release her emotions.

If it weren't for his recent busy schedule that caused him to come home late every day, he wouldn't have neglected her changes to this extent.

She was the person who slept beside him every night, yet he needed Zoe to remind him of her condition.

Leanna felt relieved when she saw that he finally understood her.

She looked up, her eyes still red and moist from crying.

Aidan's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.

No one in the world understood the changes in his body better than Leanna.

She grabbed his tie and pulled him down slightly.

Their gazes met, and Aidan asked, "What are you doing?"

Leanna cooed, "Stop pretending."

There seemed to be a hint of happiness in Aidan's dark eyes. He said nothing and lowered his head for a kiss, then effortlessly picked her up and brought her back to the bedroom.

Leanna untied his tie and casually threw it on the ground.

The next second, she was pressed onto the bed.

When Aidan raised his eyes, his gaze fell on her arm.

There were a few more red dots than before.

Back then, she lied, saying that they were insect bites.

Thinking of this, he bit her neck.

Leanna let out a muffled groan, but to avoid ruining the atmosphere, she didn't curse at him.

However, she could not let this slide.

So, she untied his shirt and the metal buckle of his belt before moving her fingers along the obvious muscles on his waist and abdomen.

Aidan suddenly tensed up.

This was something that he had spent several nights coaxing and deceiving Leanna into doing.

But it was the first time she did it on her own.

Before Aidan could say anything, Leanna had already moved at her own pace.

Her delicate fingers felt very soft on his skin.

Aidan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as a bead of sweat fell from his forehead and landed on

her shoulder.

He pressed his thin lips against her earlobe and whispered, "Faster, honey."

But Leanna refused, "No, I won't."

Instead, she deliberately slowed her movements as if retaliating against what he had done today.

Aidan fell silent.

Unable to bear it any longer, he leaned down and bit her lips again, this time a little harder, while using his hand to touch the sensitive areas on her body.

In an instant, the tables had turned.

Leanna couldn't react in time, resulting in her hands getting trapped.

She had pushed the situation to an uncontrollable level with her own hands.

In the past, whenever she couldn't resist any longer, calling him "honey" a couple of times would have some effect. But it didn't seem to work tonight because she had been calling him all night while hugging his neck, but it didn't work.

She could not express how much she regretted her actions earlier.

It was very late at night by the time they finished.

She had just closed her eyes when she felt an itch on her arm. The man's thin lips felt hot on her skin, but his movements were gentle.

Aidan was kissing that particular spot.

Overwhelmed by drowsiness, Leanna didn't have the energy to speak anymore.

Before falling asleep, the only thought that flashed through her mind was that no matter what the reason was, her choices seemed to be worth it.

After she fell into a deep sleep, Aidan held her in his arms and looked out the window with a faint gaze.

The night was quiet and cold.

A long while later, he came to a decision. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

...

The next day at noon, Leanna dragged her heavy feet and arrived at the studio, looking tired.

Zoe immediately followed behind her. "Nana, you..."

She stopped halfway through her sentence.

Although Leanna looked a bit tired, her complexion was much rosier.

The bite marks on her neck, although faint, seemed incredibly ambiguous.

It was obvious that something had happened last night.

Leanna met her gaze, "What's wrong?"

Zoe chuckled. "Nothing. I was going to ask if you had a fight with President Pearson last night, but it seems like... you got some action."

That joke rendered Leanna speechless.

Zoe continued, "By the way, I ran into President Pearson in the elevator last night, and it seems like he doesn't know about you taking the traditional medicine. Did you not tell him?"

While leaning against the table, Leanna weakly explained, "I didn't tell him about the umbilical cord blood matter because he wouldn't agree if he knew. Also, I kept the matter about taking traditional medicine from him because I was afraid he would suspect something."

Hearing that, Zoe was surprised, and her eyes widened in shock. "Then did I make a slip of the tongue?"

"It's fine." Leanna assured her, "Even if you didn't tell him, he would find out about it sooner or later. It's better that he found out about it now because I won't have to sneak around to avoid him finding out about it."

Upon hearing that, Zoe frowned. "Nana, does that traditional medicine have any effects on your health?"

Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept it from Aidan.

Sensing Zoe's concern, Leanna sat upright and smiled. "Nope. The medicine is used for regulating my health, so how could it affect my health? I didn't tell him because… you know how he is. He's sometimes very bossy, and he already has a lot to deal with at the company, so telling him would just make him worry because he can't do anything to help. I would rather keep it to myself and enjoy some tranquility."

Zoe sensed that things weren't that simple, but since Leanna didn't want to say it, she didn't pursue it further.

At this moment, Leanna's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Daniel.

Zoe also spotted it and immediately stood up. "Seeing that you're busy, I'll leave now."

Leanna nodded. "Okay."

Once the door closed, Leanna answered the call.

Daniel said, "Miss McKinney, we found Amanda, but... she's already dead."

Leanna hung her head. "I already know."

She had been feeling down recently and totally forgot about this matter.

After listening to Leanna explain the connection between Justin and Amanda, Daniel paused momentarily.

He obviously didn't expect that to be the beginning of this matter.

Leanna instructed, "Please tell Elijah about this. I won't be visiting him anymore."

Daniel could also tell what she meant.

Leanna wanted Elijah to apologize to Aidan.
