Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 746

Chapter 746 Isn’t It Time You Correct Your Address

After driving Aidan away, Leanna held the little one in her arms and comforted him for a while. As his eyelids started to get heavy, he reluctantly opened his eyes a few times, then nestled in Leanna's embrace before falling asleep.

At that, she gently placed him on the bed and covered him with a blanket.

Then, she checked outside the bedroom, but Aidan was nowhere in sight.

Just then, a wave of sleepiness washed over her, and Leanna yawned. Leaving the door slightly ajar, she grabbed her nightwear and went to the bathroom for a shower.

Amidst her shower, the bathroom door opened, and Aidan's voice sounded. "Is he asleep?"

"Yeah," Leanna replied. "Do you believe me now?"

Aidan smirked in response and pushed open the glass door of the shower cubicle, stumping Leanna for a second before she hurriedly closed it again. "What the heck, Pearson?! Go be a pervert somewhere else!"

He gazed at the silhouette reflected on the glass as he stood outside, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "How am I a pervert for only looking at my wife?" he retorted composedly.

She couldn't be bothered to deal with him and just wanted to quickly rinse off the foam on her head and get out.

"We've been here for two days. How are you accommodating?" Aidan asked.

"What's there to accommodate?" Leanna mumbled while rinsing her hair. "It's not like it's my first time here…"

"In that case, isn't it time you change your address?" said Aidan in a measured manner while Leanna turned off the water, wrapped herself in a towel, and opened the bathroom door. "Change what address?"

"What do you think?" Aidan muttered as he pulled her into his arms.

"W-What…" Leanna pressed her hands against his chest, putting some distance between them. "I just showered. Don't—"

"Take another one."


With that, he dragged Leanna back into the shower cubicle, causing her to pound his chest and whisper a protest, "Cut it out. Ms. Fletcher is right next door!"

"Still calling her Ms. Fletcher, eh?" Aidan said in a husky voice as he nibbled her earlobe, making her ear tingle as her face burned abashedly.

She finally realized what Aidan meant. However, she couldn't come up with any excuses even after stammering for a while.

"I'm used to calling her Ms. Fletcher. You… have to give me time to change. Don't rush me!"

With that, she attempted to scurry away, but Aidan dragged her back again and said, "You do know that her last name isn't Fletcher either, right? Since you have to change the way you address her, why not do it now?"

Well, forgot about that. Touche.

"If you're shy about it, I can ask her to give you a gift in exchange," he suggested.

"Don't!"

"It's a yes, then?" Aidan inched closer to her, his brow quirked.

His face was too imposing, and after a two-second silence, Leanna pushed his face aside. "G-Give me some time to adapt."

"Sure," replied Aidan with a hint of a smile lacing his tone as he held her hand.

"Alright, go ahead and shower. I have to go out now lest the little one wakes up," Leanna said as she grabbed her nightwear and ran out of the bathroom.

In the bedroom, the little one lay in bed with his little bum raised, sleeping soundly.

With that, Leanna went up to him, gently turned him over, and covered him with the blanket again.

Just then, the phone on the couch vibrated, and Leanna checked to find it was Aidan's, so she went to the bathroom door and muttered, "You have a call."

"You answer it," said Aidan.

"Okay."

To avoid waking her baby boy up, Leanna went to the balcony to answer the call.

Several minutes later, Aidan came out of the bathroom and walked up behind her, placing his hands on the railing. "Who called?"

"The Woodleys," Leanna answered while turning around. "They said Charlotte has returned home safely, and…"

"And?"

"The boat Joseph rode on when he left exploded. Based on the extent of the damage to the boat, it would've been impossible for Joseph to survive if he had been on board. However, they didn't find his body, so he might've jumped off before the explosion, or his body was washed away…"

Aidan listened quietly, making no comments. His gaze was plain.

"Is the explosion Lachlan's work?" Leanna asked.

"No," he said while looking toward the distant river. "He could've done it right at the graveyard if he wanted to kill Joseph."
