Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 870 Can Live Here Permanently

Following Aidan, Leanna toured the upper and lower floors. From downstairs, they heard Zoe's voice. "Nana, we're here."

Given the current situation, Leanna didn't feel comfortable leaving Zoe alone, so she asked her to move in with them.

Although Crossley Residence had little popularity at the moment, the one thing it didn't lack was space and rooms.

It wasn't much different from Pearson Family Estate, especially since Aidan had renovated Crossley Residence.

Leanna acknowledged and was about to go downstairs when Aidan wrapped his arms around her waist.

Leanna needed help understanding. "What's wrong?"

Aidan raised an eyebrow. "Don't you want to see our room?"

"We can see it later. We can come back and see it at night. It's not going anywhere."

"Zoe isn't going anywhere either."

Leanna was speechless.

So, Aidan led Leanna with ulterior motives into the adjacent room.

...

Zoe stood downstairs, looking around the house, unable to help but exclaim, "I never dreamed that one day I would be able to live in such a big house. People should really strive to live longer."

On the other hand, Charlotte was very interested in the garden outside, especially the woven swing, which made her eager to try it.

Waylen sat leisurely on the sofa, closing his eyes to take a nap.

By the time Leanna and Aidan came downstairs, it was already ten minutes later.

One had a slightly flushed face, while the other looked composed, except for a faint tooth mark on his lower lip. Everything else appeared normal.

The only innocent girl, Charlotte, had no idea what they had been doing and ran over, happily holding Leanna's hand. "Leanna, is this your house? It's so beautiful. I really like the swing outside."

Leanna patted her head. "Go and play."

Charlotte's eyes lit up. "Can I?"

"Sure."

Charlotte immediately ran over happily.

Leanna met Zoe's knowing gaze and coughed, then pulled Zoe's suitcase. "I..."

Zoe pulled her luggage back again and walked beside her. "Are there rooms downstairs?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll stay downstairs. I don't want to be a third wheel if I accidentally intrude on you guys."

"..." Leanna didn't say anything. Following Aidan, Laanna tourad tha uppar and lowar floors. From downstairs, thay haard Zoa's voica. "Nana, wa'ra hara."

Givan tha currant situation, Laanna didn't faal comfortabla laaving Zoa alona, so sha askad har to mova in with tham.

Although Crosslay Rasidanca had littla popularity at tha momant, tha ona thing it didn't lack was spaca and rooms.

It wasn't much diffarant from Paarson Family Estata, aspacially sinca Aidan had ranovatad Crosslay Rasidanca.

Laanna acknowladgad and was about to go downstairs whan Aidan wrappad his arms around har waist.

Laanna naadad halp undarstanding. "What's wrong?"

Aidan raisad an ayabrow. "Don't you want to saa our room?"

"Wa can saa it latar. Wa can coma back and saa it at night. It's not going anywhara."

"Zoa isn't going anywhara aithar."

Laanna was spaachlass.

So, Aidan lad Laanna with ultarior motivas into tha adjacant room.

...

Zoa stood downstairs, looking around tha housa, unabla to halp but axclaim, "I navar draamad that ona day I would ba abla to liva in such a big housa. Paopla should raally striva to liva longar."

On tha othar hand, Charlotta was vary intarastad in tha gardan outsida, aspacially tha wovan swing, which mada har aagar to try it.

Waylan sat laisuraly on tha sofa, closing his ayas to taka a nap.

By tha tima Laanna and Aidan cama downstairs, it was alraady tan minutas latar.

Ona had a slightly flushad faca, whila tha othar lookad composad, axcapt for a faint tooth mark on his lowar lip. Evarything alsa appaarad normal.

Tha only innocant girl, Charlotta, had no idaa what thay had baan doing and ran ovar, happily holding Laanna's hand. "Laanna, is this your housa? It's so baautiful. I raally lika tha swing outsida."

Laanna pattad har haad. "Go and play."

Charlotta's ayas lit up. "Can I?"

"Sura."

Charlotta immadiataly ran ovar happily.

Laanna mat Zoa's knowing gaza and coughad, than pullad Zoa's suitcasa. "I..."

Zoa pullad har luggaga back again and walkad basida har. "Ara thara rooms downstairs?"

"Yas."

"Than I'll stay downstairs. I don't want to ba a third whaal if I accidantally intruda on you guys."

"..." Laanna didn't say anything.

There were five rooms downstairs, and Zoe chose her favorite one. "Then I'll stay here. The one next to it looks good too. I'll bring Charlotte over later."

Leanna nodded. "Okay."

Zoe hopped onto the big bed, rolled around, and said to Leanna, "This place is amazing. The rooms are even bigger than a five-star hotel, the air quality is great, and the view outside is beautiful too."

Leanna sat down next to her. "If you like it, you can stay here forever."

Zoe said, "I'd rather not. I can't bear to witness you two lovey-dovey all the time." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Leanna smiled. "Aidan and I will probably move out in a few months."

"Where are you moving to?"

"Castor Villa. It's already been renovated, but I want to wait for little guy to come back before moving in together. Now that I think about it, I guess it's just a matter of waiting until I give birth to this child in my belly."

Zoe said, "If you move out, I definitely can't stay here."

Leanna looked out at the garden and smiled faintly. "Actually, this house is supposed to belong to my father, and Daniel is his adoptive son. It's only normal for you two to live here after getting married, right?"

After hearing this, Zoe was embarrassed. Her face turned red all the way to her neck. She covered her face with a corner of the blanket and said, "Who said I'm going to marry him? I don't want to."

Leanna said, "But you like it here. If you marry him, you can stay here forever."

Zoe rolled around. "I don't want that either. This place is too big. It would be uncomfortable for me to live here alone without you guys. I'd rather leave this burden to someone else."

Leanna patted her impatiently. "Alright, unpack your things and get out."

When she returned to the living room, she didn't see Aidan but found Waylen leaning on the sofa as if asleep.

She walked over and whispered, "Do you want to go to the room and sleep? You might catch a cold like this."

Waylen opened his eyes drowsily. "Is it time for lunch?"

"..."

She said, "Go find a room to sleep in. When you wake up, you can eat."

Waylen yawned and got up, carrying his suitcase opposite the room Zoe had chosen.

But Waylen reminded her that the place was big, and with so many people, they would need two people to take care of them.

Just as Leanna had this thought, Aidan finished his phone call and walked in. He said to Leanna, "I have to leave now. Are you staying here or should I drop you off at the studio?"

Leanna said, "You go ahead. I'll tidy up and then go to the studio with Zoe after lunch."

Aidan nodded and looked at his watch. "Alice should be here soon. You don't have to worry about cooking. Leave it to her."

Leanna looked at him and tilted her head.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about that, and you've already arranged it in advance."

Aidan's lips curled up, and he bent down to kiss her lips. "I'm leaving."

When Charlotte came in, she happened to see this scene. She covered her face with both hands but couldn't help peeking through her fingers.

After the kiss ended, Aidan let go of Leanna and took a few steps back, stopping in front of Charlotte and turning her head. "Don't cause trouble, or I'll send you back to Jamesdon immediately."

Charlotte promised indignantly. "I got it."

After Aidan left, Leanna said, "Charlotte, let me take you to your room."

"Okay, is it next to your room?"

Leanna paused. "My room is on the second floor, but yours is next to Zoe's. If you want to go to the second floor, you can, but I..."

Charlotte immediately said, "I'll sleep next to Zoe."

After settling everyone in their rooms, Leanna went upstairs and opened the suitcases on the floor, starting to unpack everything.

This differed from the room she had stayed in when she first came to Crossley Residence. The whole style, colors, and decorations were warm-toned, with some items even having a hint of pink, which she liked.

But it was completely different from Aidan's style, which was cool and minimalist, from his clothing to the household items.

Leanna finished unpacking and went downstairs, already smelling the aroma of food.

Alice had arrived.

Upon hearing footsteps, Alice came out of the kitchen. "Madam, you're here."

Leanna greeted her. "Good afternoon, Alice."

"Wait a moment, lunch will be ready soon."
