Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 229

After Aidan closed the door behind him, Leanna shifted her gaze back to Elijah. She pursed her lips for a moment and said, "I've been thinking, and I thought we should start by getting along with each other, but I'm sorry."

"And we're just starting to get along. You don't have to reject me right away."

Leanna shook her head. She couldn't try to date Elijah while she still had ties with Aidan. It would be unfair to him.

Elijah said, "I know what you're thinking. But you and he are two different people."

"No, that's not what I meant." She thought about her answer for a moment. "I used to think I know what I want, and I never looked back after the divorce, but now…"

"Now you're wavering."

Leanna couldn't answer for a moment. She was wavering.

For a while in the past, she thought Aidan liked her less than the files in his office, but now she realized he might not just be fooling around. It was tonight that she saw the real him, when before he was hidden beneath layers of veil.

Her silence was affirmation. Elijah paused for a moment, then he said, "You guys were married for three years. It's normal that you have lingering feelings for him. I can wait, Leanna. Until you've forgotten all about him. Until you can start anew."

Start anew. That's what I always tell myself. She thought she could forget the past if she started a new life, but now she realized things didn't work that way.
