Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 843 Don't Like It?

Aidan was about to get out of the car at the entrance of the residential area when he saw Zoe and Daniel not far away.

Seeing Aidan reclining in his seat again, Jonathan called, "President Pearson?"

Aidan questioned back, "Where is Leanna?"

Jonathan replied, "Madam left the studio and went to Valerion Road half an hour ago."

This morning. Leanna told him that the studio was getting more and more crowded to the extent that it sometimes got too tight to move around. She planned on checking out a new place with Zoe in the evening.

Now that Zoe and Daniel were here, this meant that Leanna was alone.

Aidan instructed, "Go to Valerion Road."

Jonathan responded, "Okay."

Meanwhile, an agent was enthusiastically showing the area to Leanna. "Miss McKinney, this building has two floors in total, with a total area of over 500 square meters. There are no issues with its facilities. This place was previously rented for various exhibitions. It is located in the commercial center that came with a convenient transportation facility. It's a strategic location."

Leanna nodded as she listened. She stood by the window and looked outside the window, where the bustling streets were brightly lit.

A year ago, she could never have imagined that she would be able to choose a new place in such a strategic location for her studio.

The agent continued, "Moreover, this is a standalone design that offers both convenience in entering and exiting the place and privacy according to your needs. It is the ideal place for you, considering all the different aspects."

After touring both floors, Leanna said, "I need to discuss this with my friend. She can't come today."

He asked, "When will your friend have time? I can bring her here to take a look."

She said, "I'll let you know later."

He agreed and answered a phone call.

He said to Leanna McKinney, "Miss McKinney, I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first. You may tour around longer. Please close the door on your way out."

"Okay, thank you."

After the agent left, Leanna wandered around again and took pictures for Zoe. Judging from Daniel's attitude this afternoon, she knew that Zoe wouldn't be able to come tonight. Aidan was about to get out of the car at the entrance of the residential area when he saw Zoe and Daniel not far away.

Feeling a bit tired, Leanna sat on the sofa while admiring the two paintings in front of her.

Although this place was located in the commercial center, the good sound insulation might have been the reason for its tranquility, which was surprising.

No wonder all those exhibitions were held here before.

While she was lost in her thought, a low male voice resounded beside her. "Do you like it?"

She snapped back to reality and turned her head to find the man sitting next to her. "Why are you here?"

Aidan crossed his legs and casually rested his arm on the back of the sofa behind her. "I saw Zoe and Daniel, so I guessed you were alone here."

Leanna raised an eyebrow. "You saw them? How are they?"

"What do you mean?"

"I… How is the atmosphere between them?"

"They seemed fine." Aidan added, "They weren't being physical."

His elaboration rendered her speechless. He flicked a strand of hair off her shoulder and then kissed her. His voice lingered between their lips. "How's the place?"

She replied, "It's okay. The place is quite spacious and the location is good. We can have a store

downstairs and a warehouse upstairs. We can design two photography rooms too, which would be convenient for Zoe's work."

"What about you?"

"Me? I quite like it here, but everything feels surreal. I'm not sure why. I still feel more at ease and secure at my current studio."

"Because all your dreams started from there." Aidan guided her. "If you can't get used to it yet, you can still keep the current place and move the store here."

He had a point. Even though Leanna and Zoe were moving places, it didn't necessarily mean they had to completely give up the current studio.

This could be the first official store for 'Starry Night,' while the headquarters would still be at the old place.

Leanna flashed him a smile. "And there's also a landscape planted by a certain philanthropist nearby."

Falling silent for a moment, he held her chin and kissed her. "You don't like it?"

Leanna's smile beamed wider. "I like it."

Although she occasionally complained about the mosquitoes in the summer, the starry sky brought her a relaxed and pleasant mood every day.

She loved it.

Aidan's gaze shifted to the painting next to them. "Should we buy this?"

Leanna disapproved, "No. I wasn't looking at it. I was just overwhelmed. I never thought that I would open a studio in such a prime location one day."

In the past, she couldn't even dare to think about the rent. However, everything was fine now. The thought of paying the rent wasn't that scary anymore.

The studio finally had some profit this year.

Even after deducting various expenses and splitting the profits among the three owners, it was fairly a decent amount of money.

After a while, Aidan piped up, "Aren't you planning to attend Fashion Week?"

Leanna shook her head gently. "Let's put that aside first. Although I know it's a rare opportunity, there are too many things to handle every day and I have no energy left to spare."

He gently rubbed her head and pulled her into his arms without saying anything.

A moment later, she said, "Elijah went to Lachstein today."

"He came to see you?"

"He stood outside the studio for over an hour without coming in, but I saw him."

Afterward, Daniel told her that Elijah had left for Lachstein.

Aidan questioned, "Are you afraid that William will find out?"

She slightly lowered her gaze. "I'm afraid he..."

Knowing what she wanted to say, he hugged her shoulder. "Don't worry, William has gone through so many ups and downs. He can handle this. Besides, this is a good thing for him, isn't it?"

"But you do know how Louis is."

"Even if he doesn't accept it now, not this year, not next year, or even ten years from now, he's not a machine. He's a person with feelings. Give him time. He will gradually accept it."

Leanna sighed silently, "I pray for that day to come sooner."

He encouraged, "Stop thinking about this. Let's go home. Hmm?"

She got up and looked around again. "I'm sure that we'll be renting the place. I'll ask Zoe to decide after taking a look tomorrow."

"You've seen it, that's enough. She won't have any objections."

She smiled. "Let's head home."
