Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 869 Discussing Something With You

Leanna's old phone was also inside, along with the SIM card.

Leanna said, "Thank you."

Watching her leave, Zoe was a little worried.

Waylen stood up and said, "Let her be alone for a while. She probably needs some quiet time right now."

Zoe turned her head and asked, "Who are you?"

Charlotte immediately introduced him. "He is my cousin, Waylen. He is a doctor."

Zoe suddenly realized. "Oh, it's you. Come to think of it, I haven't properly thanked you yet. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."...

Leanna slowly sat on the sofa in the neighboring room and placed her phone on the coffee table. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She kept telling herself that no matter how anxious she was, it wouldn't solve the problem. Aidan was already figuring out a solution, and her father was on his way back.

All she could do now was control her emotions and protect the child in her belly.

However, no matter how much she tried to control herself, tears silently flowed from her eyes.

At that moment, the sound of the door opening reached her ears.

Leanna quickly turned around and wiped away the tears on her face.

But soon, she realized that it wasn't Zoe who had come in.

The footsteps and aura were different.

Leanna turned her head, her eyes still red. "You're back."

Aidan sat down next to her and gently hugged her. "Yes, I'm back."

Leanna tugged at his clothes and took a few breaths, holding back her tears. "What exactly happened?"

"Theodore was released on bail. He went to find Louis and deliberately provoked him."

"But... wasn't he sentenced? How could he be released on bail?"

"We'll have answers soon."

Leanna whispered, "Is it related to Justin?"

Aidan didn't say anything. He just held her tighter. "I was originally planning to send you to Jamesdon..."

"I'm not going. I want to be with you."

Aidan smiled. "I knew you would say that, so I won't be sending you. Just stay by my side."

He was also afraid that something might happen on the way to Jamesdon.

Some people in Jamesdon still had connections with Justin that still needed to be eliminated.

He could feel a little more at ease with her by his side.

Leanna finally nodded and leaned against him. "You didn't come back last night because of this, right?"

"Not entirely."

Leanna suddenly remembered the hot search she had seen not long ago that was related to Pearson Group.

She asked, "What do we do now?"

Aidan calmly said, "We'll sleep on it and decide later."

Leanna pushed him gently. "Go to the bedroom and rest. It's uncomfortable to sleep here."

Aidan hugged her. "No need, I'll just take a short nap."

His voice sounded tired, so Leanna didn't say anything else. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

After a while, Aidan's breathing became steady and even as he fell asleep.

The two of them sat like this on the sofa until the sun slowly rose.

Leanna had slept well last night, so she couldn't sleep now. Her mind was still filled with thoughts, but she gradually calmed down.

She didn't know how long had passed when Aidan's phone rang.

Leanna snapped back to reality and quickly took out the phone from his pocket. It was a call from Jonathan. She whispered, "He's sleeping. I'll have him call you back later."

Jonathan acknowledged and hung up.

Leanna hung up the phone and looked up, only to find that Aidan had already woken up. His pitch- black eyes were fixed on her.

Leanna placed the phone next to her. "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Aidan kissed her forehead and said, "No need, I'll go take a shower."

"Then I'll make something for you to eat."

"Okay."

After Aidan entered the bathroom, Leanna went to the kitchen and prepared a simple tomato and egg noodles with the ingredients in the refrigerator.

While waiting for the water to boil, Leanna walked into the living room and took out the new phone that Zoe had bought for her. She transferred the SIM card from her old phone into it.

After a simple setup, she placed the phone on the coffee table and waited for the data to sync.

In the kitchen, the water had just boiled.

During the meal, Aidan said, "Your father is back."

Leanna nodded lightly. "Zoe already told me."

"What else did she tell you?"

"She said Theodore is in the intensive care unit now, and Daphne and Daniel are both there. Louis will be released on bail in a few days."

Aidan said, "As long as Theodore doesn't die, he'll be fine."

Leanna lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "He should be able to survive. He's been causing trouble for a long time. Jethro was able to come back to life from prison back then, so they're about the same."

Aidan agreed. "Indeed."

"Alright, let's eat quickly. The noodles are getting soggy, and I have to go to the studio later."

She asked, "What do we do now?"

Aidan calmly said, "We'll sleep on it and decide later."

After finishing the meal, Aidan took the initiative to wash the dishes.

To Leanna's surprise, she didn't hear the sound of plates breaking.

It seemed that he had learned from his past experiences.

She went into the bedroom to change her clothes and came out while asking, "Waylen and Charlotte are here. What's your plan? Are you going to let them stay next door?"

Aidan approached her, trapping her against the doorframe with his arm around her waist. "I want to discuss something with you."

"What is it?"

"You and them together, go live in Crossley Residence."

Leanna was stunned. "Go where?"

...

Ever since Lloyd Crossley set fire to Crossley Residence and fled, this abandoned ruin seemed to be forgotten, ignored by everyone.

But at some point, when no one was paying attention, the rebuilt Crossley Residence suddenly appeared in their sight.

Crossley Residence had been rebuilt twice. The first time was over twenty years ago when Lloyd wanted to erase all traces of the Crossleys' existence.

However, this time, Aidan restored Crossley Residence to its original state twenty years ago.

Standing in front of the garden, looking at this place, Leanna turned her head and was surprised. "When did you…?"

Aidan said, "I was afraid that your father wouldn't agree to let you marry me, so I prepared a dowry for him."

"But how did you manage to completely restore it?"

Previously, Mr. Jackson had taken her around and introduced what this place used to look like and what buildings were there.

She never expected these scenes, which were only mentioned in passing, would one day come to life before her eyes.

Aidan held her hand and walked inside. "I found the architect who worked on Crossley Residence back then. However, some things were added by your father himself, so I also found people who had been to Crossley Residence over twenty years ago, as well as the servants. Based on their incomplete descriptions, we pieced everything together. It should be a one-to-one restoration compared to back then."

Leanna couldn't believe that Aidan, already busy enough, could find time to do this. And she had no idea about it at all.

Entering the house, Aidan continued, "Although the exterior has been restored to a certain extent, the interior has been designed for practicality and comfort. It will be more comfortable to live in, but your parents' rooms have been preserved in their original state."
