Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 304 Move

"Let me feed Carlotta. You eat first."

Shawn looked gentle. During the past few days, he did not rest well when locked up in the tax department. He seemed tired.

Leah pulled back by impulse. She had known the truth. Carlotta's closeness to Shawn had been a mistake, and she could not let it continue.

She smiled and replied, "No, I'll feed Carlotta. You eat first. Tonight is your welcome home banquet. I can't bother you to feed Carlotta."

Shawn saw all of Leah's reactions.

Is she avoiding me for this reason? Or for some other reason?

Shawn stared at Leah and asked, "You just don't want to bother me?"

Leah showed a hint of unnaturalness. "Yeah."

Leah felt a little embarrassed. She always felt a gap between her and Shawn after knowing the truth.

"Okay."

Shawn withdrew his gaze and started to eat the meal. While eating dinner, Leah and Shawn did not talk except for Carlotta's babbling.

After dinner, Leah handed Carlotta to Lucy and told Lucy not to come down no matter what she heard downstairs.

Lucy was puzzled, and when she was about to ask, she received a sharp look from Leah.

It was the first time she saw Leah like that. She was startled and nodded hastily.

Looking at Leah sitting on the sofa, Shawn took the initiative to speak. "Do you have something to tell me?"

Leah did not hide anything. She said straight to the point, "I want to move out with Carlotta."

She owed Han, and she had to pay it back after all.

When Carlotta's condition was better, she would take Carlotta out of Linkville and start over in a new place without anyone knowing.

Shawn's expression darkened, and his dark eyes stared at Leah closely. I only went out for a few days. How could she have changed her mind so quickly?

Shawn knew well who made Leah change her mind. It must be Han!

Shawn clenched his hands, and his veins bulged on his forehead. "Why?"

Leah raised her head with steady eyes. "Carlotta isn't your daughter."

Leah did not know why Shawn kept Carlotta and her on his side, especially since he knew the truth. She did not think Shawn would tolerate having an unrelated daughter.

Shawn did not care at all. "So what? I already regard Carlotta as my daughter."

Before Carlotta was born, he thought he would not like her. But after seeing Carlotta's soft eyes, Shawn felt his heart soften instantly. He even felt that as long as Leah was willing not to reveal the truth, he could take care of them for the rest of their lives.

Leah got up and looked at Shawn gently. "Thank you for taking care of us these two years. Shawn, we can still be friends."

They could not be husband and wife, but they could be friends. It was Leah's definition of her relationship with Shawn.

"Do you know what you're saying? I won't agree!" Shawn got up from the sofa and roared.

As long as he refused, Leah could not even think about leaving his side.

Leah said with difficulty, "I'm sorry."

Shawn grabbed Leah's arm with uncontrollable anger in his eyes. "Do you know what you're saying? Is it that you can't wait to leave me as soon as Han shows up? Huh?"

Two years ago, he could ruin everything about Han and make Han disabled. He could do the same to Han again.

Leah endured the pain and did not push Shawn away. "It's not like that."

Shawn gritted his teeth and did not hide the hostility on his face. "Believe it or not? I can leave Han with nothing and make him cripple again!"

When Shawn mentioned Han, the sternness in his eyes became more.

Leah did not know what had happened to Shawn and Han before. Although they had endless hatred, it had nothing to do with her.

Meanwhile, Lucy heard the quarrel downstairs. She could not help but feel a little worried.

In the two years since Leah came to the Ford family, Shawn had always been polite to Leah and never said anything harsh, let alone a quarrel like today.

Lucy frowned and sat on the ground while holding Carlotta.

Carlotta looked up as if feeling something, and when she looked up, she saw Lucy frowning. "Aunty Lucy, what's wrong with you?"

Carlotta was still young. She could only understand other people's emotions and did not understand anything else.

Lucy carefully placed Carlotta on the ground. Then, she got up and closed the door.

It's better not to let Carlotta know about the quarrel between Ms. White and Mr. Shawn.

In her mind, Lucy had thought of Leah and Shawn as Carlotta's mother and father.

In the living room downstairs, Leah and Shawn were still at loggerheads.

Leah frowned. "You hurt me."
