Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 123

Sunny’s menacing look and attitude vanished when he was interrupted by Serena’s voice. It was replaced by his usual wide and warm smile.

Leah heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran to Serena. She urged, “Let’s go for dinner.” Serena walked out the door groggily, seemingly unaware of Sunny’s odd behavior earlier.

Around eight o’clock in the evening, the dinner feast came to an end. The nightfall in the mountainous areas was earlier than in the city. Furthermore, the locals led a simple life and were early sleepers. As a result, they went to bed soon after dinner.

It started to thunder in the middle of the night. Because the cement walls did not provide soundproofing, Leah and the other visitors could clearly hear the howling wind outside. In addition, it was the summer monsoon season when heavy downpours and thunderstorms were expected. The constant rain trickling and deep rumble of thunder disrupted their sleep.

Unable to fall asleep, Leah flipped over on the bed to face Serena. Upon noticing that the former was also wide awake, she asked, “Are you having difficulty sleeping too?”

Another loud thunder rumble sounded as Leah nodded her head. She held on to the blanket sheets and whispered, “I’m feeling a little worried.”

Serena stared at the ceiling and said in despair, “You may be feeling jittery about coming to an unfamiliar place. Hurry and get some sleep. We’ll be visiting the school early in the morning tomorrow right?”

Leah acknowledged, “You are right.” With that, the duo forced themselves to get some rest.

After some time, a clanging sound echoed from outside, followed by a knock on their door.

“Are you there, Ms. White?” The village chief asked anxiously.
