Love's Change of Heart

misunderstanding. I have no idea that she's Mrs. Pearson. I… I…"

Jimmy could not form a full sentence and kept repeating the word 'I' for a long time. His legs were

trembling with fright.

After all, everyone knew Aidan once fought with those who scolded his ex-wife using the Pearson

Group's official Twitter account before. Likewise, from this, everyone could see how much he favored

Leanna.

Now that the partnership between the Crossley Group and the Pearson Group was already tense,

Jimmy and the other man would be done for if they offended Aidan and dragged Crossley Group's

involvement into this matter.

As a result, Aidan added, "Keep calm, Mr. Ollander. One cannot be held responsible if one does not

know any better. This matter will be over, and I'll not pursue it if you kneel down and apologize to my

wife."

After hearing that, Jimmy abruptly widened his eyes in surprise. "Uh…"

"Are you not willing to?" Aidan asked in a rather threatening manner.

Beads of sweat dripped from Jimmy's forehead bit by bit. He was so scared that his legs turned to jelly,

and he nearly could not help but get onto his knees.

Looking at Jimmy's frightening state, Aidan smiled. "I'm just kidding with you. Mr. Ollander, you're not

taking my joke seriously, right?"

Although Jimmy secretly cursed Aidan and his kins when he heard that, he showed a grateful smile on

the outside. "P-President Pearson, you are magnanimous, so naturally, you'll let my fault go by this

time."

"Mr. Ollander, you flatter me too much, but I hate to break it to you—I'm not the one who calls the shots

in my household."

Once again, Jimmy's facial expression stiffened. His smile carried a little more ingratiating sense when

he shifted his gaze to Leanna again. "Mrs. Pearson, what happened earlier was really a

misunderstanding. I'm sorry, and please forgive me for my rudeness. Also, about your friend's affair, I'll

try my best to help her—"

Before Jimmy could finish, Leanna interrupted him with an indifferent look, "No need. I'm not interested

in these."

"Well then, you—"

Once again, Leanna cut him off. As her eyes scanned the two of them, she said, "The amount of wine

she drank earlier is the amount of wine everyone at the dining table will have to drink." Dining table

socioculturalism really is a foul play, especially when it involves forcing women to drink under the table

for fun.

After a brief hesitation, Jimmy agreed immediately, "Yes, yes. We'll do as you say, Mrs. Pearson."

Despite agreeing, Jimmy thought, Aidan won't know how much we'll drink later anyway. Besides, he

can't possibly stare at us gulping down all the wine for real. By then, we're just going to symbolically

drink two glasses of wine and be done with this.

However, he did not expect that Aidan would suddenly stop a passing waiter. "Follow these two to

Room No. 3 and ask your manager to watch them finish drinking all the wine in the private room to the

last drop. Then, open all the bottles of wine that I've stored here in the restaurant and bring them all to

their table."

As he spoke, he looked at Jimmy and said slowly, "Thank you, Mr. Ollander, for showing me respect.

Those are all good wines that I've treasured for many years. My treat."

Aidan was startled. "President Pearson…"

"You're welcome. Also, you don't have to thank me. It's what I should do."

If it was not for the wrong timing, Leanna really would involuntarily burst into laughter. I have to say that

this b*stard is really mean. He has Jimmy and the other man wrap around his finger with just a few

words. Not only that, he put his words so well that it makes it impossible for Jimmy to refute or decline.

After the waiter followed Jimmy and the others away, the manager of the restaurant also came in a

hurry. Taking this opportunity, Leanna handed Maya over to the manager and asked him to help contact

her family. This is all I can do for her.

Just when she just breathed out a sigh of relief after finishing everything, she met Aidan's calm eyes

when she turned her head.

Feeling uncomfortable with his gaze, Leanna caressed her nose as she asked, "Why are you looking at

me like that?"

"You're so beautiful. Can't I appreciate your beauty?"

Leanna became speechless. Glib-tongued!

Pulling the cuff of his shirt, she said, "Okay. Let's go eat."

Since she had not eaten much earlier, she was famished.

With that, they returned to the private room again. While having their dinner, Aidan asked, "So… how

did you two know each other?"

Leanna was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was asking about Maya. Hence, she

whispered, "We went to college together."

"Oh." Aidan continued, "Your college friends are really full of talented people, huh? There's Zayn, and

then there's Elijah. Now, there's even another one that appears out of nowhere…"

Leanna raised her voice in annoyance upon hearing that. "Shut up!"

Surprisingly, Aidan really stopped talking.

After a while, she could not help but add, "President Pearson, I have to rectify one problem of yours."

Raising his eyebrows, Aidan said, "Speak."

"We're divorced, which means our relationship is no longer married. You shouldn't go around telling

people that I'm your wife."

Aidan frowned, seemingly a little unhappy. "And you consider this a problem?"

With rigorous demeanor, Leanna replied, "This is a matter of legal literacy."
