Begging For A Reconciliation

Leah had a theory but was unsure whether to share it with him. However, Ian appeared to have anticipated Leah’s thoughts. He frowned and paused before responding, “So you suspect that they staged the drowning incident ten years ago? Charlie had also planned to adopt you so that Sasha can be the White family’s daughter.”

Leah pursed her lips and sighed. “Although I don’t have any evidence now and it’s all based on my speculation, I think that this is too much of a coincidence.”

Ian wore a solemn expression as he tried to piece together the information. He tried to examine the matter from Leah’s perspective and realized that it made perfect sense. However, he refused to believe that it was the truth. After all, he had known Sasha since the Sanders family relocated next to the White family. He was fourteen years old back then, while Sasha was twelve. He initially thought that the latter was a timid girl. He soon realized, however, that she was an innocent, albeit a little spoiled, child. Ian had always treated her like a sister and did not believe she was capable of such deception.

“It’s all right. I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.” Leah sighed when she noticed Ian’s agonized frown. “This is just my speculation. I don’t have any evidence now. Perhaps I may have been wrong about Sasha.”

“No, something must be amiss for you to derive that assumption. Don’t worry, I’ll help you get to the bottom of the matter,” Ian assured.

“Thank you, Ian,” Leah said sincerely. In response, the man grinned. He was, however, visibly tired.

“I noticed that you have been up early and returning late at night. Did something happen?” Leah asked with a concerned look.

Ian shook his head and sighed. “It’s nothing serious. It’s just that ever since we brought Ron back to the Sanders family, he has been playing around all day long. I have been helping my father to run the company. He made a mistake and the Sanders family is now trying to salvage the situation.”

“What?” Leah frowned as she was reminded of Ron’s drunk state last night. She wondered, was he feeling troubled by this matter too? After regaining her senses, Leah probed, “What happened?”
