Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 197

Leanna was in no mood to engage in nonsense with him. "Whatever."

"Leanna, do you have feelings for Elijah?" Aidan asked while holding her shoulders.

She went silent for a moment before asking with a frown, "What sort of question is this?"

"Answer me."

After a few seconds, she replied, "I don't."

He exerted force on her shoulder and asked slowly, "Then, do you like me?"

"President Pearson, why did you stop me here to ask such lame questions?"

"How are they lame?"

At that moment, she raised her tone and yelled, "Everything is lame! Also, I've been meaning to ask you today. Why did you show up at my friend's party? Don't you feel uncomfortable around them?"

"No, I don't."

"Didn't you notice that your presence brought down the whole party?"

"I don't care what's on their mind. I only care about what you think," he affirmed lightly.

When Leanna heard this, she could not help but laugh and questioned, "President Pearson, are you serious?"

"Yes."

"If you truly cared about what I think, you'll realize that I despise you. Your presence not only makes my friends feel uneasy, but it also makes me uncomfortable…"

"Is this your answer, Leanna?" Aidan cut her off.

"Wha-"

She only realized what he was referring to afterward.

He's asking if I like him.

"I thought you always knew," she responded quietly.
