Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 466

Chapter 466

Leanna was jolted awake by her grumbling stomach at midnight. She hadn't eaten anything other than the flu medicine before sleep since she returned with Aidan after the meeting.

She sat upright on the bed, then realized he wasn't lying next to her.

Taking a random shirt of his inside the room and putting it on, she staggered out of the bedroom with a heavy head.

He was working on his tasks on his laptop in the living room.

The lights in the room stung her eyes as she struggled to keep them open. "It's late. Why are you still up?"

"I need to check on the rest of the documents." He turned to her. "Why did you get up?"

She put a hand on her stomach and gave him an honest answer. "I'm hungry."

He added, "I've asked for room service just now. You can see if the food is still warm. We can reorder if it's gotten cold."

A dining trolley waiting at the door grabbed her attention. She walked over and lifted the food cover. "It's still warm."

It was in its perfect state.

Leanna served the dishes on the dining table. Aidan already stood before her when she was about to call him over for the meal. He stretched out his arm and felt her forehead with the back of his hand. "Are you feeling better?"

"It's the same as before."

"Remember to take medicine again after food."

She gave a simple response and sat at the dining table for supper.

In the middle of her meal, she looked out of the window. "It's still raining."

He only hummed.

She added, "It seems like the construction is inevitable to postpone."

"We could still leave tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

She pondered for a moment before suggesting, "I can go back on my own if you're too busy."

He tore his attention away from the food and met her gaze. "You were being clingy during the day, but now I'm nobody to you?"

She was too shocked to retort his tease. Then, she gave him a quiet answer. "Shut up and eat."
