Han glanced at Leah and he mumbled something. He seemed to be in a daze, and he did not recognize Leah.

Swaying a little, he staggered toward the pond. The short fence around the pond would not be able to stop him from falling into the pond.

A few steps before he reached the fence, Leah pulled him backward. Irritated, she sighed, “How much have you had to drink?”

Han paused and he sat down in the gazebo. He stared at Leah, perplexed. She could not tell what he was thinking. She was restless.

She took a deep breath. She was about to leave when Han grabbed her wrist. He was pulling her so hard she fell onto his lap, but he remained unmoved.

Not wanting to raise any suspicion should any White family member see them, she struggled to stand up. “Please let me go.”

Her pleas fell on deaf ears.

Han locked her arms behind her back, “Are you afraid of me?” Leah knew she had to try another way to escape. She tried to remain calm. “Why should I be afraid of you?”

He pressed on. “If you’re not afraid of me, why do you run away every time you see me?”

“I am not running away from you.”

“Yes, you are.”

“I’m not.”
