Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

"That's good news. You're pregnant—" Zoe came to her senses as her eyes widened. "Is it Aidan's?"

"Hmm."

"Sh*t! What are you going to do? Are you going to tell him about it?"

Leanna shook her head. "No. We're going to divorce anyway."

Zoe paused for a moment before asking, "Then… are you going to keep the baby?"

Silence dawned upon both parties, for Leanna did not know the answer to that question. When she found out about her pregnancy, her first reaction was resorting to abortion.

However, after ruminating on it, she figured that the baby had nothing to do with the bad blood between her and Aidan; the baby was innocent.

Every single time she closed her eyes, she could feel how that baby's life was dissipating from her body three years ago. She would not want to experience it twice, but if she ever decided to keep the child…

In the end, she answered, "I'm not sure yet. Let's talk about it after some time."

Knowing that Leanna did not wish to continue that topic, Zoe veered the subject. "Right, there's good news. The necklace and ring of the First Love collection have been receiving positive responses from our magazine team. There are internal reservations too! I'm sure that it'll sell like hot cakes once it's on sale. The only thing left is the bracelet… There's still one week left before the press conference. Do you think you can make it in time?"

"Yeah. I need three days at most."

Zoe heaved a sigh of relief. "You're pregnant, though. Can you handle the production yourself? You'll be exposed to chemical substances in the process. I think it's best to hand it over to the factory."

"It's alright. I can wear a mask and gloves."

"Then, you gotta be careful. Just inform me if you can't handle it on your own."

Leanna smiled. "Don't worry. There won't be any problem."

Coming out of the bathroom, she held her phone in hesitation for a long time before dialing Aidan's number.

Once the line got through, Mia's smug voice could be heard. "President Pearson is with me right now, so try not to make a fool of yourself."

"Oh." Leanna hung up the phone without a second thought.

On the other end, Aidan came out of the restroom and happened to see Mia shoving his phone into his clothes. He strode over to take the clothes and questioned indifferently, "Did someone call?"

Her eyes wavered. "N-No…"

He checked the contact history, only to see the incoming call from Leanna one minute ago. He lifted his gaze onto Mia, who explained, "President Pearson, Leanna asked for your whereabouts, but I covered for you since I know that you don't wanna see her anyway. I didn't tell her anything else."

He kept his phone while brushing off her silly ploy.
