Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 17

Leanna's hand trembled a little, but her expression remained unchanged.

Leanna's hand trembled a little, but her expression remained unchanged.

"There was a collaboration previously, so I just took her to a few events."

"Oh."

"I'm trying to explain it to you as clearly as I can. What's with your attitude?" Aidan responded impatiently while holding her wrist.

"I'm grateful that you think you owe me an explanation, but... Actually, you didn't have to explain anything to me since we're already going through the divorce process anyway," she replied solemnly.

"You divorced me because you thought she was pregnant and that I was cheating."

Previously, he assumed that Leanna wanted to divorce because she had other malicious intentions, but Jonathan thought otherwise as he believed that her action was only out of spite, which could be solved with Aidan's coaxing.

At that time, he could not think of why she was at loggerheads… until her brother showed up today.

When Aidan noticed her silence, he emphasized again, "Why don't you trust me, Leanna? I will never allow any women, including you, to be impregnated with my child. Understand?"

With that, his words had pierced her heart like an invisible needle. Of course, I understand.

During their last three years of marriage, he had never once forgotten to use contraception regardless of the circumstances.

Leanna was also aware that not only was this his reluctance to have children, it was also a form of mockery toward her cunning plan back then.

After a few seconds of silence, Leanna announced, "I'm pregnant."

"Leanna!" At that moment, Aidan's pupils could be seen dilated and his grip instantly tightened. His voice was no longer relaxed and turned cold, bringing down the temperature of the entire room.

"Aren't you always asking me what I want all this time, Aidan? I'm pregnant and I need to plan for the future of my child. I want half of all the property that's under your name as well as Pearson Group's shares..."

"Enough!" He swatted her hands away vehemently.

Knowing that he would not believe her again, Leanna took the pregnancy test form from her bag and handed it to him.
