Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 429

Once out of the neighborhood, Louis stopped and turned around, his lips pursed. A moment later, Keaton came to him. "Mr. Pearson said she'll be here for a few days. You should stay away from the young master for the time being."

Louis grunted. "I know." He wouldn't have come if he knew Leanna was here.

Keaton left, and Louis' phone buzzed. He whipped it out and saw the message Aidan had sent him. Daphne's address. He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out his dead earphones. He was dealing with other things over the last few days, so he didn't have time to give these back to Daphne. A moment of silence later, he called Daphne. "Are you home?"

Daphne said, "I just got home. What's wrong? Oh, I'm passing by your campus tomorrow. Can I get my earphones then?"

"It's alright. I'm coming over."

Huh? Louis hung up before she could say anything. Daphne stared at her dim phone screen, and her eyes went wide. He's not coming over, is he? Right away, she put her phone and fried chicken down, then darted into the bathroom to look in the mirror. Gah, I can't see him wearing this.

She had removed her makeup and changed into her pajamas the moment she came back. Daphne emerged from the bathroom and dashed into her bedroom to change into a skirt. She then plopped down before her dressing table and hastily put some makeup on. Forty minutes later, she finally finished getting ready. Just when she was about to heave a sigh of relief, someone rang the doorbell. Must be my barbecue. She went to take the door barefoot. "Coming!"

But the moment she opened the door and saw who it was outside, she froze.

"Can I come in?" Louis asked.

Instinctively, Daphne moved away so Louis could come in. I thought I would have to go downstairs and take the earphones from him. How did he know which unit I was staying in?

Louis entered her house and made his way to the living room.

When he finally stopped, Daphne regained her senses. Oh, sh*t. The table's a mess! She closed the door and dashed to the living room. She cleared the trash while chuckling dryly, "I barely ate, so…"

Once out of the neighborhood, Louis stopped ond turned oround, his lips pursed. A moment loter, Keoton come to him. "Mr. Peorson soid she'll be here for o few doys. You should stoy owoy from the young moster for the time being."
