Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141 This Is All Just an Accident and Misunderstanding

At the mall, Anna, who picked out over ten clothes at once, turned around and asked, “What do you think, Georgina?”

Looking at her, Georgina smiled and replied absent-mindedly, “It’s quite good.”

Anna then told the salesperson, “Pack this too.”

“Okay.”

Only while paying did Anna look at Georgina and asked, “What’s wrong, Georgina? Are you feeling sick?”

She replied, “I’m not. I was thinking that since we’re out, we might as well buy something for Miss McKinney.”

The mention of Leanna made Anna a bit frustrated. “Georgina, you’ve seen today how that woman acts. You treated her so nicely, yet she did not appreciate it at all.”

Yet, Georgina just smiled in return. “It’s up to her whether she appreciates it or not. As for me, I only want to live without guilt. Besides, the baby she’s pregnant with is your cousin’s child. Since she’s connected to me, I just can’t leave her alone now, can I?”

“You’re really going to care for the child on her behalf, aren’t you?” Anna mumbled, “We don’t even know if she’ll be able to give birth to that illegitimate child.”

Hearing this, Georgina only lowered her head and showed a very subtle smile. “Alright now, Anna, since we’ve almost finished shopping, should we visit Carly? I don’t think you’ve seen her since she gave birth, right?”

This made Anna feel a bit guilty while she smiled forcefully. “I suddenly remembered that my parents wanted me back home today. So, I’ll skip it this time.”

Anna quickly left after saying that.

It was until she had walked away that Georgina’s gaze turned cold.

…

In the ward, Georgina saw Carly sitting on the bed with a dazed expression, not knowing what she was thinking of.

She set down the flowers she had just bought and walked over. “What are you thinking about, Carly? Where’s the baby?”

Snapping back to reality, Carly stated, “My mom brought the baby to do a check-up.”

After that, she then asked, “How are you so free to visit me today, Georgina?”

“I was free today, so I went to the Pearsons. After that, I went shopping with Anna, so I came to see you.”

The mention of the Pearsons showed a brief sign of hesitation in Carly’s eyes.

Noticing her behavior, Georgina sat by her side and asked gently, “What’s wrong, Carly?”

Carly bit her lips and grabbed Georgina’s hands. “Georgina, I really don’t know who I can tell this to. So, you really have to help me keep this secret!”

Georgina nodded at her words. “I will.”

Even though Georgina said that, Carly still hesitated before spilling the beans as this was not a very proud thing to admit to.

With a low voice, she asked, “Do you remember how Aidan’s ex-wife fell into the water on the day of Mrs. Pearson’s birthday banquet?”

“I do. Why?”

“The reason she fell in the water was because…” Carly bit her lips and mustered up her courage before continuing, “of me.”

“But, Carly, why did you—”

“During then, I thought that she was pregnant with Zayn’s child. With the impending engagement and Anna’s impulsive nature, I felt she would exaggerate this incident, so I was compelled to act. Also… I didn’t really want to hurt her. I just wanted to get rid of the baby, but I didn’t think that Aidan would save her…”

Georgina replied, “It’s all in the past now. Besides, the baby and Miss McKinney are fine, so why are you bringing this up all of a sudden, Carly?”

Frowning, Carly answered, “Just yesterday, Aidan sent a present to me. Look at what the gift card said…”

She then gave Georgina the card from the bag. “He must have known who did it. That’s why he’s threatening me.”

Georgina, who glanced at it, comforted her by saying, “Carly, this is just a normal greeting. You might be overthinking this.”

Yet, Carly shook her head. “You know that my family’s relationship with Aidan soured after we arranged a marriage with the Pearsons. He even treated my parents with such a bad attitude, so why would he send a present just because I gave birth? But, the thing I don’t understand is how he found out about the incident…”

Georgina patted the back of her hands to coax her. “You don’t have to be so anxious, Carly. Don’t just scare yourself. If things really did happen as you described them to be, I’ll help you explain to Aidan that this is all just an accident and misunderstanding.”

Due to Georgina being the silver lining that Carly could depend on right now, she quickly said, “You’re right. Georgina, please tell Aidan how I only did that because I thought she was pregnant with Zayn’s child. Also, also, doesn’t he not feel anything for his wife and detests her?”

Her words made Georgina smile lightly. “Yup. He doesn’t have any feelings for her. That’s why you don’t have to be so anxious about it, Carly.”

At that moment, Marilyn came back with the baby, so they stopped their conversation.

After Georgina greeted her, she left.

Walking out of the ward, her smile slowly disappeared.

No feelings for her?

Georgina recalled the scene at the garden that afternoon. Standing there, she was there for God knew how long, yet those two people did not notice her presence at all.

The way that Aidan looked at Leanna and the way that he moved his hand to cover her belly revealed just how important Leanna was to him. No matter how much Aidan denied and insulted Leanna verbally, he still cannot hide his feelings for her.

The reason why the man married her was all a ruse to calm the current situation down and divert the attention of the Pearsons to help Leanna escape from her current predicament.

Sitting in the car, Georgina took her phone out and dialed a number.

After the call connected, she smiled and asked, “Miss Wojzicki, are you busy?”

“I am quite free these two days. Can I help you, Miss Crossley?”

“It’s nothing. I can’t seem to contact McK recently, so I wanted to ask if you could possibly do it on my behalf. This is because my sister loved the necklace she designed last time, so I wanted to commission her for another design.”

Yet, Queenie replied, “I also can’t seem to contact her, Miss Crossley. She hasn’t come to the company for quite some time now.”

“Really…” Georgina then purposefully mumbled, “It’s nothing. I must have seen the wrong person. If so, then I won’t bother you any further.”

“Hold on,” Queenie called out. “You said that you saw the wrong person, Miss Crossley? Who did you see? Is it related to Leanna?”

“I’m not all that sure, so I don’t dare to jump to conclusions. Actually, I went to the Pearsons and found a person resembling McK a lot, but she is pregnant. It seemed to me she was already six to seven months pregnant. Sadly, I only saw her silhouette, so I’m not all too sure if it’s her or not. But, you don’t have to worry about this, Miss Wojzicki. I might have just mistook that person for McK.”
