Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 195

Chapter 195

Leanna opened the door to find Daphne outside, waving at her.

She smiled back. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a man slowly stepping out from behind Daphne.

Her words died in her throat.

Aidan turned to frown at her. "What is with that look on your face?"

Daphne interrupted with a chuckle and explained, "I bumped into President Pearson in the elevator. What a coincidence, Leanna! He said he was here to visit a friend. Unfortunately, his friend was not home, so I..."

Leanna's smile did not waver. "Is that so? I did not think President Pearson would have friends living here."

Hearing the jeering tone in her voice, Aidan calmly replied, "As long as I am rich, I can always make friends."

She was rendered speechless. Furthermore, she could not really argue against that statement.

She wanted to chase him away, but she could not, due to the current circumstances. Anyway, even if she did try, he might not go away.

After taking a deep breath, she moved to let them in. "Come on in."

When they walked in, Aidan softly said to Daphne, "Nice acting."

Daphne stared at him. Oh, how very happy she was at his praise.

The warm and cozy vibes of the place became frigid with Aidan's return to the room. Aidan, though, seemed to not have noticed the unwelcoming atmosphere as he appeared to be as calm as usual.

Even Leanna felt awkward on his behalf.

Elijah was stunned. He had not expected to see Aidan here. It only took a few seconds before he swiftly regained his cool and politely greeted, "President Pearson."

When Zoe returned from her phone call, she was shocked to see Aidan in the room. She hurriedly shuffled over to Daphne. "What is going on? Why is that... Why is President Pearson here?"

Daphne responded with only a bitter sigh that spoke of secrets she could not tell.

Inside the kitchen, Louis frowned at who he saw in the living room. "Why is he here? Did you invite him?"

"No," replied Leanna, "but—"
