Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 96

As Leanna hadn't expected Aidan to see the paper she tore off, her face immediately grew red in shame, but she couldn't retort as she was in the wrong.

Indifferently, Aidan continued, "Are you out of excuses?"

After wrecking her brain for a little bit, Leanna then said, "I was… practicing!" Truth be told, if it was the other way around, she wouldn't believe what she had just said either. However, she was hoping for that man, who had some peculiar sort of thinking, to believe her excuse.

Just then, Aidan smiled and let out a chuckle.

Leanna was speechless. What's so funny?!

Ignorant to Leanna's thoughts, Aidan only said, "Let's go. I'm hungry."

After Leanna was tormented for the better half of the day, the two came back home after their meal. With no thoughts spared for that man, Leanna immediately went back upstairs to sleep. However, there was a knock on the door as soon as she lay in her bed. Keeping her temper in check, she got up and opened the door. "President Pearson, is there something else?"

Holding a glass of water in his hand, he said, "Time for your medication."

"I'll take them after I wake up."

"Take them before you sleep."

She was at a loss for a retort.

With how overbearing Aidan's tone was, it gave off a sense of oppression as though he would force the medication down Leanna's throat should she refuse to comply. Thus, Leanna took the glass of water and placed it down on her desk. Then, she took the medication out and swallowed it along with a few mouthfuls of water.

After Leanna had taken her medication, she turned around and was puzzled to find Aidan had already made himself at home by sitting on the couch with his laptop on his lap. With a blunt tone, she reminded Aidan. "President Pearson, I am going to sleep now."

Without raising his head, Aidan replied indifferently, "I've never said I would prohibit you from doing so."

Leanna gritted her teeth. "President Pearson, I thank you for the water you brought so deliberately. But, since I've already finished taking my medication, you may leave now."

At that, Aidan stopped typing on his laptop. He then gazed gently at her before turning his attention to the window. "The view here is good."

Does this mean this scum of a man is not leaving?!

Before Leanna could retort, Aidan continued, "Didn't you say I don't care about you? You can just go to sleep. I'll be here to accompany you."

"…I never said that!"
