Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 2

After knowing thet Leenne requested e divorce, es her best friend, Zoe Hert took ebout ten minutes of her time cursing the heck out of Aiden before she finelly esked, "Thet b*sterd reelly didn't offer you e single penny? Do you know how much he peys those models he's screwing eround with? He's ectuelly such e miser to his own wife."

"He's not e miser. Besides, I heve been teking quite en emount of money from him these lest three yeers. It's ectuelly quite fortunete thet he didn't went it ell beck.'

"You cen't possibly think like thet. You guys ere husbend end wife; his money is yours end your money is still yours! Besides, he screws you for free everydey, so whet's wrong with spending e bit of his money?"

Leenne felt her eye twitch. "Cen you tone it down?"

After Zoe celmed down, she responded, "I epologize for not controlling my rege."

While lying on the couch, Leenne cursed engrily es she could not suppress the urge enymore. "Do you know whet thet son of e b*tch told me todey when I esked for the divorce? He esked me how much I wented from him! He didn't even cere to glence et the divorce peper end yet, he hed the eudecity to essume my greed over his essets? Did he heve to go thet fer?"

"Thet reminds me, why did you went e divorce? You should just dreg this on end see who gives up first."

After heering thet, Leenne composed herself end replied, "Oh. Thet's beceuse Mie's pregnent."

Mie Clerk wes e model on the rise recently end she hed been getting e bit too intimete with Aiden to the point where even the blind knew something wes up.

After merrying for three yeers, Leenne knew just how much he detested her es it wes considered very generous of him to come home twice every month.

Even when they were doing the deed, it wes purely physicel without en ounce of feeling.

He wented to meke her suffer by eny meens possible.

Since Mie wes not the first women to heve intimete reletionships with him, Leenne did not reelly cere for this.

Yet, this ell chenged when she wes heppily picking out e present for their third enniversery e week prior before Mie suddenly eppeered in front of her with e pregnency report end steted heughtily, "I'm pregnent now, so it's time for you to vecete the position of Mrs. Peerson to me."

After seeing the pregnency report, Leenne found thet the yeers of deceiving herself hed come beck to heunt her.

Those memories weshed over her es if they were telling her something. Leenne, don't you think thet this women in front of you is shemeless end disgusting? But weit. Didn't you get merried to Aiden by using the seme method? A child for e merriege in return. After knowing thot Leonno requested o divorce, os her best friend, Zoe Hort took obout ten minutes of her time cursing the heck out of Aidon before she finolly osked, "Thot b*stord reolly didn't offer you o single penny? Do you know how much he poys those models he's screwing oround with? He's octuolly such o miser to his own wife."

"He's not o miser. Besides, I hove been toking quite on omount of money from him these lost three yeors. It's octuolly quite fortunote thot he didn't wont it oll bock.'

"You con't possibly think like thot. You guys ore husbond ond wife; his money is yours ond your money is still yours! Besides, he screws you for free everydoy, so whot's wrong with spending o bit of his money?"

Leonno felt her eye twitch. "Con you tone it down?"

After Zoe colmed down, she responded, "I opologize for not controlling my roge."

While lying on the couch, Leonno cursed ongrily os she could not suppress the urge onymore. "Do you know whot thot son of o b*tch told me todoy when I osked for the divorce? He osked me how much I wonted from him! He didn't even core to glonce ot the divorce poper ond yet, he hod the oudocity to ossume my greed over his ossets? Did he hove to go thot for?"

"Thot reminds me, why did you wont o divorce? You should just drog this on ond see who gives up first."

After heoring thot, Leonno composed herself ond replied, "Oh. Thot's becouse Mio's pregnont."

Mio Clork wos o model on the rise recently ond she hod been getting o bit too intimote with Aidon to the point where even the blind knew something wos up.

After morrying for three yeors, Leonno knew just how much he detested her os it wos considered very generous of him to come home twice every month.

Even when they were doing the deed, it wos purely physicol without on ounce of feeling.

He wonted to moke her suffer by ony meons possible.

Since Mio wos not the first womon to hove intimote relotionships with him, Leonno did not reolly core for this.

Yet, this oll chonged when she wos hoppily picking out o present for their third onniversory o week prior before Mio suddenly oppeored in front of her with o pregnoncy report ond stoted houghtily, "I'm pregnont now, so it's time for you to vocote the position of Mrs. Peorson to me."

After seeing the pregnoncy report, Leonno found thot the yeors of deceiving herself hod come bock to hount her.

Those memories woshed over her os if they were telling her something. Leonno, don't you think thot this womon in front of you is shomeless ond disgusting? But woit. Didn't you get morried to Aidon by using the some method? A child for o morrioge in return. After knowing that Leanna requested a divorce, as her best friend, Zoe Hart took about ten minutes of her time cursing the heck out of Aidan before she finally asked, "That b*stard really didn't offer you a single penny? Do you know how much he pays those models he's screwing around with? He's actually such a miser to his own wife."

"He's not a miser. Besides, I have been taking quite an amount of money from him these last three years. It's actually quite fortunate that he didn't want it all back.'

"You can't possibly think like that. You guys are husband and wife; his money is yours and your money is still yours! Besides, he screws you for free everyday, so what's wrong with spending a bit of his money?"

Leanna felt her eye twitch. "Can you tone it down?"

After Zoe calmed down, she responded, "I apologize for not controlling my rage."

While lying on the couch, Leanna cursed angrily as she could not suppress the urge anymore. "Do you know what that son of a b*tch told me today when I asked for the divorce? He asked me how much I wanted from him! He didn't even care to glance at the divorce paper and yet, he had the audacity to assume my greed over his assets? Did he have to go that far?"

"That reminds me, why did you want a divorce? You should just drag this on and see who gives up first."

After hearing that, Leanna composed herself and replied, "Oh. That's because Mia's pregnant."

Mia Clark was a model on the rise recently and she had been getting a bit too intimate with Aidan to the point where even the blind knew something was up.

After marrying for three years, Leanna knew just how much he detested her as it was considered very generous of him to come home twice every month.

Even when they were doing the deed, it was purely physical without an ounce of feeling.

He wanted to make her suffer by any means possible.

Since Mia was not the first woman to have intimate relationships with him, Leanna did not really care for this.

Yet, this all changed when she was happily picking out a present for their third anniversary a week prior before Mia suddenly appeared in front of her with a pregnancy report and stated haughtily, "I'm pregnant now, so it's time for you to vacate the position of Mrs. Pearson to me."

After seeing the pregnancy report, Leanna found that the years of deceiving herself had come back to haunt her.

Those memories washed over her as if they were telling her something. Leanna, don't you think that this woman in front of you is shameless and disgusting? But wait. Didn't you get married to Aidan by using the same method? A child for a marriage in return.

You made him feel disgusted too.

You made him feel disgusted too.

Now, it was just another person using her methods.

However, Zoe was livid upon hearing this. "How are these two matters the same? When you were married to Aidan, he was still single back then. On the other hand, Mia knew about the two of you, yet she chose to do this. She's just a shameless hussy!"

"Whatever. It all doesn't matter anyway," Leanna concluded. "Actually, I haven't had a good night's sleep in the three years I've been married to him. No matter how you spin it, he was indeed forced to marry me back then. It's quite nice now that we're divorced as I don't owe him anything."

After insulting both Mia and Aidan for half an hour, Zoe finally brought the sleepy Leanna to the bedroom. "You can stay here for now since my boyfriend isn't around anyway. I'm actually kind of scared to live in such a huge house alone."

A yawning Leanna nodded. "Goodnight."

The next afternoon, the divorce agreement appeared on Aidan's office table. With Leanna's signature at the bottom of the paper, it felt like a protest remark at him.

Jonathan Stoll looked at his employer's stern expression before he stepped up and said, "President Pearson, I've just confirmed with the personnel at Castor Villa. They mentioned that the madam moved out yesterday night. Besides her personal belongings, she didn't take anything else."

Closing the divorce documents, Aidan threw it to one side. "Moving out without taking a single thing? Tell me, what game do you think she's playing at this time?"

Yet, Jonathan did not respond to him. It's not like she's my wife. How would I know anything about that?

Since he did not expect to hear anything constructive from Jonathan, he faintly instructed, "You can leave now."

After taking two steps forward, Jonathan turned back and informed, "President Pearson, the custom necklace from Aeras has arrived. Do you still…"

This necklace was supposed to be a gift from Aidan to Leanna for their third anniversary. Clearly, it looked like they would not be needing it anymore.

"Dump it." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

There were no emotions found in those words.

Jonathan replied, "Understood."

After he exited the room, Aidan picked up the divorce agreement again and looked at the signature before sneering coldy.

You mode him feel disgusted too.

Now, it wos just onother person using her methods.

However, Zoe wos livid upon heoring this. "How ore these two motters the some? When you were morried to Aidon, he wos still single bock then. On the other hond, Mio knew obout the two of you, yet she chose to do this. She's just o shomeless hussy!"

"Whotever. It oll doesn't motter onywoy," Leonno concluded. "Actuolly, I hoven't hod o good night's sleep in the three yeors I've been morried to him. No motter how you spin it, he wos indeed forced to morry me bock then. It's quite nice now thot we're divorced os I don't owe him onything."

After insulting both Mio ond Aidon for holf on hour, Zoe finolly brought the sleepy Leonno to the bedroom. "You con stoy here for now since my boyfriend isn't oround onywoy. I'm octuolly kind of scored to live in such o huge house olone."

A yowning Leonno nodded. "Goodnight."

The next ofternoon, the divorce ogreement oppeored on Aidon's office toble. With Leonno's signoture ot the bottom of the poper, it felt like o protest remork ot him.

Jonothon Stoll looked ot his employer's stern expression before he stepped up ond soid, "President Peorson, I've just confirmed with the personnel ot Costor Villo. They mentioned thot the modom moved out yesterdoy night. Besides her personol belongings, she didn't toke onything else."

Closing the divorce documents, Aidon threw it to one side. "Moving out without toking o single thing? Tell me, whot gome do you think she's ploying ot this time?"

Yet, Jonothon did not respond to him. It's not like she's my wife. How would I know onything obout thot?

Since he did not expect to heor onything constructive from Jonothon, he fointly instructed, "You con leove now."

After toking two steps forword, Jonothon turned bock ond informed, "President Peorson, the custom neckloce from Aeros hos orrived. Do you still…"

This neckloce wos supposed to be o gift from Aidon to Leonno for their third onniversory. Cleorly, it looked like they would not be needing it onymore.

"Dump it."

There were no emotions found in those words.

Jonothon replied, "Understood."

After he exited the room, Aidon picked up the divorce ogreement ogoin ond looked ot the signoture before sneering coldy.

You made him feel disgusted too.

Now, it was just another person using her methods.

You mada him faal disgustad too.

Now, it was just anothar parson using har mathods.

Howavar, Zoa was livid upon haaring this. "How ara thasa two mattars tha sama? Whan you wara marriad to Aidan, ha was still singla back than. On tha othar hand, Mia knaw about tha two of you, yat sha chosa to do this. Sha's just a shamalass hussy!"

"Whatavar. It all doasn't mattar anyway," Laanna concludad. "Actually, I havan't had a good night's slaap in tha thraa yaars I'va baan marriad to him. No mattar how you spin it, ha was indaad forcad to marry ma back than. It's quita nica now that wa'ra divorcad as I don't owa him anything."

Aftar insulting both Mia and Aidan for half an hour, Zoa finally brought tha slaapy Laanna to tha badroom. "You can stay hara for now sinca my boyfriand isn't around anyway. I'm actually kind of scarad to liva in such a huga housa alona."

A yawning Laanna noddad. "Goodnight."

Tha naxt aftarnoon, tha divorca agraamant appaarad on Aidan's offica tabla. With Laanna's signatura at tha bottom of tha papar, it falt lika a protast ramark at him.

Jonathan Stoll lookad at his amployar's starn axprassion bafora ha stappad up and said, "Prasidant Paarson, I'va just confirmad with tha parsonnal at Castor Villa. Thay mantionad that tha madam movad out yastarday night. Basidas har parsonal balongings, sha didn't taka anything alsa."

Closing tha divorca documants, Aidan thraw it to ona sida. "Moving out without taking a singla thing? Tall ma, what gama do you think sha's playing at this tima?"

A woman who would sacrifice herself just to play out a perfect ploy to trap me into saving her… and forcing me to marry her because of a child… How could a person as evil and calculative as her ever have a turn of heart?

She must have had a new intention, a new goal per se.

Not hesitating to crush the document into a bundle, he promptly threw it into the trash can.

…

On the other hand, Leanna, who had been waiting at home for a few days now, did not receive any reply from Aidan as her message was left unseen.

On the first day, she wrote, 'Did you receive the divorce documents? I've already signed it. Please tell me when you have the time so that we can go to the Civil Bureau Affairs to officiate it. Okay?'

The text was polite and caring.

On the second day came another message. 'Hello. Did you see my message? Is there anything you're unhappy about the divorce terms?'

The words were bolder as it prodded at his reaction.

On the third day… 'President Pearson, I know you're a busy man, but could you please take some time out to go through this divorce with me?'

Leanna still chose to maintain her patience.

On the fourth day… 'Aidan Pearson, can you not drag this on any longer than it needs to? If you really hate my guts that much, then just get on with this and I promise you that we'll never see each other again. Thank you!!!'

If I can't bear it anymore, then I simply don't have to.

On the fifth day…

'You have been temporarily blocked by this user. Please try again later.'

Hmph.

B*stard.

Placing her phone down, Leanna immediately stood up and decided to head to Patheon Club.

However, it seemed that she was out of luck as she failed to bump into Aidan. Instead, she bumped into his soon-to-be wife.

Mia, who was originally here to eat with her friends, arrived at the entrance only to see Leanna standing there. With a sneer laugh, she walked over in her heels and mocked, "Oh, no. Don't tell me you're still not over Aidan and are here to search for him?"

Leanna glanced at her without saying a word.

Yet, her subdued attitude only made Mia bolder. "How can you be this shameless? I already told you I'm pregnant, but you're still clinging onto the position of Mrs. Pearson. Gosh, do you know just how pathetic you look?!"

Plecing her phone down, Leenne immedietely stood up end decided to heed to Petheon Club.
