Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

This was why Aidan basically never went out with her in tow.

Even Oscar had only seen Leanna twice.

Once because Aidan had forgotten to bring a document and Leanna, who was afraid that it might affect his work, delivered it to his office for him. Although Aidan treated her very coldly in return and she was disappointed, she did not whine about it. She certainly looked very obedient and sensible.

The second time was at the birthday banquet of Old Master Pearson, Gordon. It also happened to be the second year of Leanna and Aidan's marriage. At the same time, it was evident that everyone from the Pearsons did not treat her kindly as nobody bothered to introduce her to anyone.

That night, Leanna was no different to a servant of the Pearson Family. Even though she ran around busily, no one praised her for it. On the contrary, they all found her irritating and meddlesome.

After that, she stood in a corner while facing everybody's mockery. Despite that, she did not rebuke as she only lowered her head and stayed further away from the event.

In Oscar's recollection, Aidan's wife was someone whom anyone could pick on as she did not retort even after being bullied.

The fierce looking woman tonight cannot be her.

A speechless Aidan was still looking into the direction that Leanna had gone to.

With a few coughs, Oscar changed the subject. "I bumped into Harvey at the entrance."

Aidan asked, "Who?"

"The head editor of Lux Jewelry."

"I think I might know him."

Since the Pearson Group had worked with Lux Jewelry a few times prior, Aidan was acquainted with their head editor.

Oscar continued, "Harvey told me earlier that they found McK. If everything goes well, she'll become the designer of their magazine. You remember who McK is, right?"

"I don't."

Why should I have to remember people I have nothing to do with?

With that, he explained it to Aidan, "Then, you should at least remember about the seventh Emerging Designer Competition you sponsored three years ago, right? It was McK who came first place that year. Originally, she would have been sponsored by your company to further her studies in Aeras. But for some unknown reason, she gave up on the opportunity."

"I heard that she found the person-in-charge of the competition and asked if they could give her cash in lieu of the sponsorship. However, you rejected it after the person-in-charge inquired about it to you. She vanished after that. Too bad, she really was a talented designer."

Slowly focusing his gaze back at Oscar, Aidan was thinking about something else and did not hear a word that was said.

"Oh. Can't recall."

On the ladies' way back, Harvey could obviously feel Leanna's mood had soured after the dinner.
