Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 1

'Happy third wedding anniversary! Do come home earlier. I think you'll like the surprise I've prepared.'

After sending the message out, Leanna McKinney placed her phone down before reentering the kitchen. She turned the stove off and proceeded to slice the vegetables while still having fun despite the busy moments of preparing a special dinner.

It was as if the ignored message did not affect her mood at all.

A servant who was standing beside Leanna then offered her assistance. "Madam, let me help you."

"It's alright. You can work on other things. I want to personally cook for him tonight."

In response, the servant replied enviously, "Madam, you and Master really do love each other very much."

Leanna did not respond as she pursed her lips.

Do Aidan and I look in love? More like an act rather than love…

At 7.00PM, the servant cleared the area knowingly as the man of the house, Aidan Pearson, arrived home.

Just as Leanna finished setting up the table, the heat radiating from the man shrouded her from behind before he held her jaw and violently kissed her lips.

Stunned for a split second, she then quickly pushed him away.

While holding onto her waist, Aidan pinched her chin and uttered emotionlessly, "Didn't you tell me to get back earlier for this?"

"I didn't. It's our third wedding anniversary today, so I really do have a present for you." Her voice was melodious when she explained.

After hearing that, he let go of her before adjusting his slightly wrinkled shirt and said, "I don't need any presents from you. After all, you've given me more shocks than surprises."

At that, she could only smirk as she went into the kitchen instead of rebuking him.

Soon, the last dish made its way to the table.

Leanna sat opposite Aidan as she poured red wine for him, then for herself.

With her glass raised in the air, she stated, "Cheers to our third anniversary."

Under the light, one could see the man's handsome features with his pursed lips and slight frown, which hinted that he was not satisfied about this.

Yet, Leanna only smiled at this as she did not expect any response from him, so she raised the glass and drank it all at once.

After downing the wineglass, she poured another serving for herself.

Just like that, she kept on drinking glass after glass…

In the end, the tipsy Leanna plopped on the dining table and looked at the stoic man before slurring her words at him, "Hey, Aidan. Can't you even give me a smile on a day like this?"

"What do you expect me to do? Get drunk and crazy like you? Or continue sitting through this extremely boring anniversary?"
