Begging For A Reconciliation

It was somewhat dramatic how Leah and Christopher became friends. Leah loved jewelry design, and before she married Han, she used to be a freelance designer to earn a living. After all, Charlie would never give her money for her college tuition.

She remembered the night before she married Han when she drew her last work with joy.

Han did not like her to be involved in such “meaningless” things, so she gradually stopped drawing and focused on becoming the Madam of the Howard family. However, Leah has a Twitter account, where she would occasionally post sketches and designs out of boredom. That was how Christopher became friends with Leah. When Christopher first approached her, Leah thought he was a scammer. It took him a lot of effort for him to convince Leah he was not, and they became good friends after that.

While chatting, she learned that Christopher was the boss of a listed jewelry company. In the jewelry industry, and in fact, he was one of the biggest industry players in Linkville. Of course, this was not the first time Christopher offered Leah the opportunity to work with him. After troubles started appearing in the White family, Leah wanted to rejoin the jewelry design industry, so she brought her design to meet Christopher.

Ryan reacted vaguely after listening to how they met. In the car, he asked her, “Are you married?”

Leah was not perturbed. She could now face the question calmly, regardless if the person asking the question had any malicious intentions. “Yes,” she answered.

“You’re not divorced, are you?” Ryan asked again.

Leah looked at him apologetically. “I’m sorry, Mr. Crawford, I don’t really want to talk about that.”

Ryan shook his head. “I’m the one who should apologize.” After all, a normal person would find those questions offensive.

No one spoke for the next few minutes until Ryan eventually broke the silence. “I heard that your father…”
