Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 77

The next day, Jonathan rushed over to speak to Aidan the moment Aidan came downstairs. "Bad news, President Pearson," Jonathan uttered.

Zayn had always been cold and hostile toward Anna, even after they got engaged. Furthermore, both the Barnett and Pearson families treated their marriage as a mere business partnership—no one cared about Zayn and Anna's relationship. Anna was probably the only person who took the engagement seriously.

Previously, Anna might have kept her behavior in check because she was worried that Zayn would call the marriage off if she tested his limits. However, now that they were engaged, Anna no longer had much to be afraid of. Leanna's pregnancy was like a thorn in Anna's heart, and she blamed Leanna for how cold and distant Zayn acted around her. Leanna didn't get pregnant after being married to Aidan for three years. How could she get pregnant right after she got a divorce? I suspect that the child might be Zayn's, Anna thought.

So, Anna started a whole fuss about this matter at breakfast that morning. She was smart enough not to bring up Leanna's name at all. She simply mentioned that there was a woman who was pregnant with Zayn's child before begging Gordon to deal with this for her. If Gordon happened to find out that the woman in question was Leanna, his realization would have nothing to do with Anna.

Gordon lost his cool upon hearing this news. He didn't care if Anna and Zayn were in love with one another, but he cared about the reputation of the Barnett Family! Furthermore, for such a thing to happen right after Zayn and Anna got engaged… The Barnett and Pearson families' partnership would be affected if such an incident were to be exposed to the public.

"Old Master Pearson wants to discuss this matter, and the Barnetts are already on the way to the Pearson Family Estate," Jonathan explained. The look in Aidan's eyes didn't seem to carry any emotion as he spoke. "How did Anna find out about this?"

"I'm not sure. I'll investigate this matter," Jonathan replied.

"Forget it." Aidan parted his long legs to walk out. "We'll find out if we go over to question her," he uttered with a tone as cold as ice.

with an unimpressed grunt. There was no sign of emotion on his face, yet the whole hall was filled with pin-drop silence the moment he stepped in. The air around them seemed to turn a few degrees colder. Even Anna stopped crying when she saw Aidan walking in. She tried her best to contain her sobs. This was the scene that Justin was greeted with the moment he came down. "Let's take a walk at the park, Aidan. There are some
