Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 755 Good News and Bad News

On the plane back to Highside, Leanna kept gazing out the window. This place was supposed to be foreign to her, but she cared deeply about it.

When she and Aidan were about to leave, the little guy seemed to have sensed something as he widened his huge eyes, his little mouth pouting as he reached out both hands toward her. "Mama…"

At that moment, Leanna felt as if something was stuck in her throat. She wanted to go back and hold him, but Aidan took her hand. "Don't look back. The more you look at him, the more he'll cry."

Leanna's tears pooled in her eyes as Aidan dragged her forward. The little guy's cries could gradually be heard coming from behind her.

She felt like she could still hear his voice in her head, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what she did.

Leanna slowly closed her eyes, the corners of her eyes dampening.

Aidan was seated next to her, and he held her in his embrace. "Go to sleep. We'll be home when you wake up."

Sometime later, Leanna finally said, "Now that I think about it, three months isn't a long time."

Aidan nodded. "It'll pass soon enough."

"When winter comes, he'll be back by my side."

Aidan didn't say anything. He simply patted her back as he looked out the window calmly.

The plane was already flying steadily in the air, and the clouds in the sky had gathered close together.

A few hours later, they arrived in Highside.

Seeing that it was only 4.30PM, Leanna went to the studio.

Aidan dropped her off at the entrance. "I'll pay a visit to the Crossley Group, then I'll come back for you."

Leanna nodded. "Don't mind me. I can go back with Zoe too."

She had to handle both the Complex Group and Southwest Group's affairs, so she didn't know when she would be able to wrap things up.

Aidan said, "I'll call you later."

"Okay."

After watching the black car slowly drive away, Leanna finally averted her gaze and walked toward the studio.

There were quite a lot of customers just then. Leanna looked everywhere for Zoe but to no avail, so she went to the filming site next door.

Just as expected, Zoe was there.

However, Zoe wasn't taking any photos. Instead, she sat cross-legged on the floor, holding a camera as she kept wiping it while seemingly in a daze.

Leanna walked over to her and sat down by her side. "Zoe."

Zoe immediately came to her senses and put down the camera in her hands, saying happily, "You're back, Nana!"

Leanna smiled. "What are you doing here?"

"There's not much to do, so I decided to do some cleaning," Zoe said while looking around them. "Where's my godson? Didn't you say he's coming back with you? Did you send him home immediately?"

Leanna hugged her legs as she placed her chin on her knees. She let out a sigh. "No, he'll only be back after some time."

"Oh…" Zoe wanted to ask what happened, but when she saw Leanna's expression, she merely patted the latter's shoulder. "I'm not in a rush either, so let's just wait. Good things are worth waiting for, after all."

Leanna lowered her head, a faint smile on her lips.

When Zoe saw that, she instantly changed the topic. "I've been thinking long and hard about that thing you told me before. Since we don't have to prepare for fashion week anymore, coupled with the fact that our studio has been running for quite some time and that we've also established an online presence, why don't we spend all our efforts on expanding our brand?"

Zoe continued, "I'm thinking of finding a celebrity to endorse our products so that our brand will get more recognition. Also, an influencer once contacted us to discuss a collaboration, right? We can carry it out simultaneously on all sorts of platforms…"

Zoe went on and on, describing her plan in detail. She already had a grand plan for the future.

Finally, she concluded, "That day, I was just pondering on a problem. Our studio can't stay in such a small place forever. It's only a matter of time before the brand 'Starry Night' makes its debut on the international stage, so we have to prioritize the aspects we've been neglecting thus far."

As Zoe spoke, she looked at Leanna. "Don't worry, just leave these things to me. You're still just in charge of designing, whereas I—"

"Zoe."

Leanna suddenly spoke up. "I'm sorry, but I might not have that much energy for the next few months."

Zoe remembered Leanna telling her about having another child; that was the reason she declined the offer for fashion week in the first place.

Zoe slapped her head. "Oh man, I forgot…"

She then said, "It's okay, we can take it slow. We'll find the spokesperson first, then we'll deal with the rest one thing at a time."

The two looked at each other, and when their gazes met, they said simultaneously, "Daphne?"

Hence, an hour later, Daphne was already sitting in the lounge.

She looked at Leanna, then at Zoe. Following that, she picked up a cup of water and took a sip. "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that, guys. You're scaring me…"

Zoe said, "We have some good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

Daphne said, "Bad news, I guess."
