Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

"As you can see, I am one with a proper career. Would it be so outrageous for me to return to my roots?" Leanna answered with the assumption that Aidan was referring to the contract-signing with Lux Jewelry.

"Did I ask you about this?" he asked with a low tone.

"Then, what were you talking about?" She was perplexed.

"You said…"

Just as Aidan was about to continue, Leanna felt nauseated all of a sudden and she quickly covered her mouth. However, the muffled sound of retching was still loud and clear.

"President Pearson, please stay away from me. I'm feeling a little sick," she warned while stretching out her other hand to push him away.

"Keep up with your act," he said nonchalantly. What a show you're putting on just to avoid the topic.

"Oh, I'm exposed. Haha. What is it really that you wanted to ask? If there's nothing, I'll excuse myself to the bathroom, President Pearson."

Since the day before yesterday, her morning sickness had been overwhelming. After a few retches earlier, she was really about to vomit this time.

Aidan gripped her wrist tightly and asked in a cold voice, "What happened to your first love?"

Leanna was taken aback for a moment as she did not expect this to be the question he wanted to ask.

"It was just... first love," she answered. She looked up at him after finishing her sentence and solemnly added, "President Pearson, this better not be a fuss you're trying to make. Don't you think that it's ironic to bring this up again, given the state of our current relationship?"

At that, he frowned and tightened his grip on her wrist even harder. "What is our relationship, then?"

"In the midst of a divorce."

"Leanna McKinney, quit challenging my patience."

I don't understand; all I want is for him to agree with the reasonable, legal, and non-aggressive divorce that I'm proposing. How am I challenging his patience?

That uneasy feeling returned just as she was about to ask, but he was still gripping her hand tightly.

In a hurry, she grabbed a trash can nearby and vomited into it.

Even though Aidan quickly retracted his hand, a few drops of vomit inevitably stained the cuffs of his shirt.

"Leanna!" he exclaimed while his face darkened instantly.
