Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 558

Although Aidan did not look happy and resembled an icy mountain instead, that did not negatively affect the cheerful atmosphere in the room.

Leanna handed him a piece of cake, and as he was about to take it, she smeared cream on the corner of his mouth. "What is with the sad face? Come on. Smile."

Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and drew her closer so he could whisper in her ear, "Didn't you say we were going on a date?"

She smiled and winked at him. "Does this not count as a date?"

"It is a date if there are only two of us."

"All right. That's enough from you." She shoved him away. "They are here to celebrate your birthday, not to pick a fight with you."

He raised his eyebrows at her. "So, what present do you have for me?" His voice was deep and flirtatious.

She was speechless as she stared at him blankly. Instinctively, her cheeks reddened as she whispered, "I haven't found a present yet. L-Let's talk about it when we get home."

As soon as the others in the room saw what the couple was doing, they silently distanced themselves from them.

After Daphne, Leanna, and Zoe had gone to the washroom, Louis walked over to Aidan with a much more hostile expression. "I have a question for you."

"I know what you want to ask about," Aidan calmly responded as he tapped his knee with a slender finger. "There's no use telling you about it. The situation will resolve itself in a week at most."

"Then, it really—"

Midway through his sentence, Louis realized that other people besides himself. Then, he noticed Daniel was standing inconspicuously nearby, leaning towards them with half his body, but pretended he was doing nothing.

Louis read about the apartment being set on fire a few days ago and visited the scene after the fire had been put out. He noticed that everything was still inside, but no one was there. So, he called Keaton, but the other man's explanation was too vague. However, his intuition told him that something terrible had happened. It was the reason he was at the party and wanted to personally question Aidan about it. Then, he frowned and pursed his lips in concentration.

Seeing that, Freddie nudged Oscar with his elbow, gesturing for him to say something to break this awkward tension. Oscar took a sip of his wine, gesturing for Freddie to do it himself.

After a moment of silence, Louis asked, "Will they be okay?"

"They will be."

However, Louis did not say anything else and turned and walked out. When Daniel saw him walk out, he dashed after him.
