Love’s Change of Heart

Chapter 12

the designer of Lux Jewelry’s ‘First Love’ series, with the warmest applause!” The host invited her after the models had left the stage. Following the applause, a figure gradually appeared in front of the stage. “Hello, everyone. My name is McK and I work as a contract designer for Lux Jewelry.” “Holy sh*t, isn’t that your wife?” Oscar exclaimed in shock. A frowning Aidan was speechless while gazing deeply toward the stage. On stage, Leanna explained the product’s design concept and materials under the guide of the host. “As we all know, the series ‘First Love’ targets younger consumers, so what does first love mean to you, Miss McK? Or, do you have any good memories of your first love?” the host asked. Taken aback by the public exposure, Leanna was disoriented and had no idea where to look. She regained her composure after being reminded by the host and then answered, “To me, first love is innocent and sweet. It will feel different each time you reminisce about it. As for memories, I believe that the most beautiful memories of first love are those that are kept hidden in the heart.” Aidan, who had been silent for a long time, calmed down and pointed out as if he made a discovery, “She is expressing her love for me.” Oscar was baffled by his blatant words. “She has no other first love other than me,” the now suddenly talkative Aidan explained. “Are you being serious?” Aidan hooked his lips and looked around the stage leisurely. Not bad… She does know how to please me. At this point, the media in the audience seized the opportunity by asking, “When was your first love, Miss McK?” After a long pause, she finally responded, “During my university days.” As if there were crickets in Aidan’s seat, Oscar was also dumbfounded by that. Wow. “Miss McK, since you can’t get him out of your mind, that person must be someone exceptional, right?” another reporter in the audience asked. After noticing Zoe, who was seated among the audience, signaling with her eyes continuously, the host finally reacted by axing the questions. “We won’t pry too deeply into Miss McK’s personal matters due to privacy. Let us continue with jewelry-related questions.” The host then led the conversation and shifted the topic. With that, everyone naturally stopped questioning about her first love and the focus returned to the press conference. Seated below the stage was Anna, who gritted her teeth and muttered in anger, “What’s the deal with her? This woman is revolting! She married my cousin, but she still pines for her first love!” After hearing her words, Zayn cocked his head and asked, “What did you say?” “Zayn, she is the woman I told you about! The woman who forced my cousin to marry her by faking her pregnancy, so don’t be fooled by her appearance. She schemes a lot and even my cousin has fallen for her tactics again.” The ‘deceived party’ seated in the corner wore a cold face and the corners of his lips pursed enough to show that he was suppressing his anger at the time. Beside him was Oscar, who was holding in his laughter for dear life in fear that he would burst into hysterics right at his seat. Just a moment ago, Aidan boldly showed off by saying, “She is expressing her love for me.” The next thing he knew, his wife slapped him across the face with a reality check.
