Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 374

In Castor Villa, Aidan obviously did not let Louis sleep on the floor. Instead, he instructed Alice to clean up the extra room downstairs for Louis.

Louis, on the other hand, sat quietly on the couch, the dry blood stains on his shirt still visible.

Aidan went downstairs and threw the shirt he was holding to Louis. "Change your clothes."

However, Louis merely grunted and remained motionless. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.

Seeing that, Aidan took the seat across from Louis. Crossing his slender legs, he asked, "Are you reflecting on what you did, or are you figuring how to make the situation more difficult for Leanna?

Louis reflexively furrowed his brows when he heard that. "That's not my intention," he said after a few seconds of hesitation.

"But that's exactly what you did."

He fell into silence with pursed lips.

Aidan then continued, "I understand your desire to exact revenge for her by killing Jethro. If you manage to kill him today, you'll think you've removed a true scumbag for society on behalf of justice, but that's not the law. After you kill him, you'll be known as the person who murdered his own father. This is exactly what they want. They would then target Leanna and reveal everything that happened in the past. She would gain nothing but malicious speculations and reproaches."

When Louis heard that, he furrowed his brows even more. "I assumed everything would end as long as Jethro was dead."

"That's just your wishful thinking." Aidan went on calmly, "Things are not as simple as you believe. Lloyd was simply making use of you to cause everything that happened today. As for his real motive…"

Halfway through his sentence, Aidan narrowed his eyes.

If he had guessed correctly, Jethro was most likely in Lloyd's hands right now.

That crafty fox was indeed capable enough to be able to locate Jethro.

"But isn't Lloyd…" Louis wanted to say something more, but Aidan snapped out of his reverie and interrupted Louis. "He isn't."

A tinge of surprise and confusion flashed across Louis' face.

"Your sister did not want to tell you these as she doesn't want you to worry, but this gave Lloyd an opportunity to come in between instead," Aidan explained. "Your sister is right. All you have to remember is that your sister's blood kin is only you…"

Aidan then paused for a moment before continuing, "And the other two."

"What?" Aidan's words were lost on Louis.

Aidan, however, simply stood up and spared Louis a glance before he said in disgust, "Go clean yourself up."
