Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 54

The boy looked at Leah cautiously. “Really?”

“Really.” Leah smiled.

“Okay! Let’s play hide and seek! I’ll hide. You can come find me once you count up to ten!” And off the boy went the moment he finished. “Let’s start!”

There was nothing for her to do anyway. It would be nice to get some exercise this way.

She counted to ten.

“Are you in place? I’m coming for you now,” she asked with great amusement after she finished counting.

A child’s voice came from behind a flower bed. “I’m hidden away! Come and find me!”

Leah was barely containing her laughter.

“I’m coming.” Leah pretended not to know a thing and wandered about the garden.

Thud!

Suddenly, her back hit a solid chest, and she froze in her tracks.

Startled, Leah turned around to apologize. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to bump into you.”

“Oh? So you did it on purpose.” An icy voice suddenly came overhead tinged with a teasing lilt.

Leah froze and looked up in surprise to see Han smirking at her.

He still looked as indifferent as ever but it seemed as if the sharp edge in his eyes had gone. He seemed more…approachable?

Leah shook her head.

It must have been her illness that gave rise to the illusion.

How could a devil-like Han Howard be approachable?

“I still have something to do. Excuse me.” Leah looked down, intending to escape.

Han grabbed her arm. “What’s the matter? Are you playing games with a little brat?”

He had happened to lift the curtain in his ward and caught sight of it all.
