Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Step Down

Matthew turned off Shawn’s phone and asked the driver to start the car engine.

In the Ford residence, Leah was playing with Carlotta in the living room.

With the doll in her arms, Carlotta looked in the direction of the door from time to time. Leah knew she was waiting for Shawn.

In the past two years, Shawn had been good to both Leah and Carlotta. Since Carlotta was born, he seldom worked overtime and came home to have dinner with Carlotta almost every day.

"Mommy, why isn’t Daddy home yet?" Carlotta asked. There was disappointment in her eyes.

Leah glanced at the time on her phone. It was already 7 p.m. By right, Shawn should be back.

“Maybe Daddy is still busy,” Leah explained and forced a smile.

Leah felt uncomfortable when Carlotta was so close to Shawn. Even though Shawn did not know if Carlotta was his daughter, he had been very good to her.

Carrying Carlotta up, Leah said, “I think Daddy is still busy at work. Let’s have dinner first, okay?”

“No, I want to wait for Daddy!” Carlotta pouted her lips.

Hearing that, Leah had no choice but to squat down in front of Carlotta again. “Carlotta, be a good girl and have dinner with Mommy first, okay?”

In the end, Carlotta got up and went to the dining table. She had no choice but to eat without Shawn.

Leah breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad that Carlotta did not make a fuss about not seeing Shawn.

After dinner, Leah let Lucy take Carlotta for a shower. Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was a stranger’s number. Leah hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer key.

“Hello?”

A husky man’s voice was heard from the other end of the line. “Hey, you can’t recognize my voice?”

Leah was stunned. It was Han.

Why is he calling me? Is it because of Anna?

Before Han could say anything, Leah hurriedly explained, “Don’t worry. I won’t meet Anna again.”

Leah was not interested in what happened between Han and Anna.

Hearing that, Han could not help but grip his phone tighter. His eyes suddenly filled with anger.

Why did she say that? Is she afraid that Shawn will misunderstand her?

“Don’t you dare talk to Anna again!” Han said coldly.

“I won’t, and I promised.” All of a sudden, Leah’s face turned pale. She knew she should not mention Anna’s name.

“Aren’t you curious why Shawn is not home yet?”

However, before Leah could ask anything, Han hung up which made Leah nervous.

Looking at the phone, Leah’s heart could not help but skip a beat. A bad feeling rose in her heart.

Han would not contact her for no reason. Did something happen to Shawn?

Thinking of that, she dialed Tom’s number.

“Tom, why is Mr. Ford not back yet? What’s going on?”

With that, Tom told Leah everything.

Hearing that, Leah’s face darkened. She knew it must be Han that the tax department suddenly took Shawn away.

“What exactly happened and how’s everything now? Tell me!” Leah came back to her senses and asked.

“I can’t even get in touch with Mr. Ford now!”

“Tom, come and pick me up. I need to go to the tax department myself.”

Tom reached the Ford residence in no time. As soon as he turned off the car engine, the door of the villa opened. In a formal suit, Leah walked out and sat in the backseat of the car.

Seeing Leah through the rearview mirror, Tom asked, “Ms. White, are you sure you want to go?”

“Let’s go there and decide later,” Leah replied. It must be something serious that the tax department took Shawn.

Inside the tax department office, Matthew glanced at both Leah and Tom who stood opposite him.

“Mrs. Ford, I can’t let you bail for Mr. Ford. It’s not going to happen.”

As soon as Leah arrived at the tax department office, she requested to stand bail for Shawn.
