Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 102

Chapter 102

In the afternoon, several delivery trucks stopped by, and the items that Aidan bought arrived one after the other.

As the parcels were enormous, many neighbors gathered around to watch.

Leanna did not want to be in the spotlight, so she pretended to be asleep, and no matter what was going on downstairs, she refused to go down.

Naomi was also stunned when she saw the boxes of things that the employees brought in.

On the contrary, Wendy poked Naomi's arm and said with a beaming expression, "Did you see? Did you see?"

"See what?"

"There is obviously hope for a remarriage." Wendy continued hushedly, "According to my observations in the past few days, Leanna and Aidan clearly like each other. Look, in a few more days, they'll remarry. By then, you can expect to be a grandmother and have a grandson."

Naomi lowered her eyes and smiled slightly when she heard the last sentence.

Leanna did not know when the sound in the yard stopped and had fallen asleep. When she woke up, the phone on her bed was ringing.

When she saw a string of unknown numbers, she answered it and spoke once it connected, "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, Miss McKinney. This is Highside Prison. Is Jethro McKinney your father?"

She was silent for a while before answering, "Yes."

"Miss McKinney, several inmates attempted to escape from prison last night and caused a fire outbreak. Unfortunately, some didn't manage to escape and died, and one of them was Jethro McKinney. According to the regulations, the ashes are to be handed over to their family members, and if they do not want it, we will handle them ourselves."

Leanna was slightly startled when she heard the news. After a long while, she muttered, "Died?"

"Yes. If Miss McKinney wants to claim his ashes, please drop by Highside Prison within the next three days."

"Got it, thank you."

After she hung up the phone, she sat on the bed in a daze.

She was just thinking a few days ago that if she could, she would never want to hear about Jethro ever again in her life. However, she never imagined that the next time she heard of him, it was to collect his ashes.

When she went downstairs, Aidan was sitting in the yard, doing his work, while Jonathan was standing next to him. After seeing Leanna coming over, he nodded slightly at her before making a conscious move to leave.

Then, she sat across Aidan and pondered for a long while before saying, "President Pearson."

With his eyes glued to his laptop, he spoke without raising his head, "Speak."

"Did you arrange Jethro's imprisonment?"

"What does that have to do with me—" When he raised his head and saw her pale face, he said, "Jonathan handled it."
