Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 433

Chapter 433

When Leanna got back to Crossley Residence that night, Lloyd was in his study.

She knocked on the door. "Come in," Lloyd called out.

When he saw Leanna walk in, he asked, "What's the matter? Are you not satisfied with the apology today?"

"Miss Crossley wasn't present, so I can't comment on whether or not I was satisfied," she replied.

He narrowed his eyes. It was evident that he knew what had happened earlier today.

"However, you needn't worry, Mr. Crossley. I'm not here about that," she added.

"What are you here for then?"

"I plan on moving out of Crossley Residence."

Lloyd didn't see this coming. He frowned in thought.

Leanna continued in a steady voice, "I've spent some time on this now, and I've thought things through. Crossley Residence is still an unfamiliar place to me. Since I can't recall anything from my childhood, there's no reason for me to stay here any longer."

After a pause, he answered, "If you're determined to leave, I won't stop you, but it will be Crossley Group's anniversary ceremony in a few days, so just stay a little longer. You can leave once that's over."

Her brows twitched a little as she pressed her lips together.

Lloyd is planning to do something during the anniversary ceremony.

Her silence prompted him to remark, "What's the matter? You've been here for so long now. Don't you think you can stay for just a few more days? Don't tell me you think that I'll do something to you."

She smiled faintly. "You're reading too much into this, Mr. Crossley. I didn't think you'd invite me to Crossley Group's anniversary ceremony."

"You say you're Sandra's daughter, so it stands to reason that you should attend Crossley Group's anniversary ceremony," he replied coolly.

"In that case, I won't object to it either."

Once Leanna returned to her bedroom, she started massaging her sore facial muscles. It was exhausting to fake a smile all day long.

She stretched her neck a little before heading into the bathroom for a shower.

When she came back out, she saw her phone screen light up.

She plopped herself down on the bed and answered the call. "Hello?"

"Are you done packing your things?" Aidan asked.

"No…" She licked her lips. "Why don't we wait a couple more days?"

"Didn't we discuss this already?"

Leanna flipped over. "Lloyd's not letting me leave. He wants me to wait until Crossley Group's anniversary ceremony is over first."

"Did you agree to that?" His tone became a lot colder.

"I didn't have a chance to say no."
