Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 330 Surging Undercurrent

After walking into that scene, Anna was a little dazed. She only snapped back to reality when Han called out to her. "Ethan, look at what Sarah shared with me today," she said as she approached him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "It's a family photo of them three happily together..."
After walking into that scene, Anna was a little dazed. She only snapped back to reality when Han called out to her. "Ethan, look at what Sarah shared with me today," she said as she approached him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "It's a family photo of them three happily together..."

"I also really want to experience the romance and bliss of the common folk by going to the supermarket with you!"

Anna smiled sweetly as she rested her head on Han's shoulder.

Han's eyes flashed with disgust as Anna engaged in intimate behavior with him, but he quickly covered it up.

He hid it by getting up and going to the bookshelves to look through some documents. He was able to avoid her intimate acts without her noticing. "Is that so?" he asked. "You, on the other hand, were born to be extraordinary. You have no reason to envy her."

His tone was so light that Anna couldn't tell what he was really thinking.

Only Han knew how offensive that photo was to him, and his surging rage nearly consumed his sense of logic.

Anna seemed unimpressed by his calm reaction and returned to his side, saying, "Ethan, after seeing how happy their family is, I also want to have a baby with you..."

"Hello, what's the problem? Okay, I'll go over there now."

Han's phone call snuffed out her fantasies and made her feel like a damp squib. She always had the impression that he didn't care about her, but she couldn't say anything.

After all, he'd already promised to marry her, and she didn't want to give him any reason to back down.

The night arrived early because of the cloudy, rainy weather. Even though it was only six o'clock, the sky was already dark.

While this was happening, the Dream Designs Studio dining area was filled with the enticing aroma of fondue and the mellow scent of the wine.

Leah, Serena, and Shawn drank red wine, except for Lucy and Carlotta, who drank milk.

"Sarah, your cooking is still delectable. You've lost so much weight during this time. Here, have some more meat." Shawn placed a large amount of meat on a small plate for her and pushed it in front of her.

Leah, on the other hand, simply smiled and nodded politely. "I appreciate it, but I'll just help myself. I haven't felt like eating meat lately. Serena can have them."

She pushed the meat Shawn had cooked for her toward Serena.

When Serena noticed Shawn's cold eyes on her, she felt a little stressed.

"I have other things I want to eat. You can have them," she said as she pushed the plate back toward Leah.

That plate of meat was never consumed in the end.

Shawn's eyes darkened and became colder as he realized he would make no progress if he continued in this manner, so he found an excuse to leave.

He got back in his car and waited for his assistant, who was seated in the driver's seat, to report to him.

"Mr. Ford, the plan is ready to go anytime."

Shawn's gloomy expression lightened slightly when he heard that. With a meaningful smile, he said slowly, "They've gotten their first order for interior design. When the first draft is finished, we'll begin..."

After noting the determined start time, the assistant went on to say, "They seemed to suspect Anna for Serena's kidnapping done by us."

Shawn's smile became increasingly morbid as he said, "This is by far the best. I believe Sarah will return to me once this plan is completed..."

Sarah, I'm sorry for using this method on you. She would never again rely on him for anything if he didn't do it this way.

After Shawn left, Leah felt much more at ease.

Serena kept her emotions to herself as she shook her head helplessly. She then finished the wine in her glass in one gulp. Serena then said, "You. You should find a man on whom you can rely on being by your side."

Leah was speechless. Something dark then flashed across her eyes.

She didn't want to talk about it, so she took out a gift she had prepared and handed it to Serena, who was slightly inebriated. "Please help me pass this gift on to Alfred," she said.

Serena jolted awake from her drunken stupor when she heard that name. "Why?" she enquired as she gazed at Leah in a daze.

She thought that the matter with Alfred was already done and dusted with. She had no idea she'd bring it up again.

Leah gave a small smile and explained, "It's been a month or so. Alfred's injury should have healed by now. This is my way of saying thank you to him."

"How could I possibly be standing here today and have even opened up my studio if he hadn't done everything in his power to protect me back then?"

Serena's eyes were drawn to the expectant smile on her face, and it broke her heart. Her hands trembled while holding the wine glass as she suddenly felt cold. "Okay..."

When she saw that she had agreed, Leah breathed a sigh of relief and explained why she needed help passing the gift.

"Han won't allow me to approach those close to him out of concern that I'll bring him bad luck, so I'm forced to bother you about this."

"I won't feel like I owe him anything as long as I get this gift to him. It helps me feel a little better, even though the gift is not comparable to him saving my life."

Serena took Leah's gift to Alfred the next day. She stopped Han outside of Lakeside Villa One.

"This is her gift to Alfred. I will leave it to you…"

She didn't say much and appeared to lack heart.

Han looked at the gift he was holding and suddenly felt like it weighed a thousand pounds as she turned to leave.

"Alfred…"

Anna, who had just arrived, saw this scene with her own eyes, and when she heard that Leah had given Alfred a gift, she exclaimed, "Doesn't she know Alfred is dead?"

She suddenly realized something when she saw Han's gloomy frown, and her eyes were filled with morbid jealousy.

Ethan couldn't bring himself to tell her about Alfred's death! Was it out of fear that she would feel guilty and hold herself responsible for his death?

If that was the case…

Anna had an inexplicable smile on her lips. She returned to her room and dialed Leah's number.

"I see you went to the trouble of passing the gift on to Alfred, Sarah."

When Leah heard her addressing her so affectionately, she arched her brows in disgust because she already knew her true colors. "Well, I'm very grateful to him for saving me," she replied, her voice remaining calm.

Upon hearing that, Anna's smile turned vicious, and her voice softened as she said, "I see. It appears that you are still unaware of Alfred's true situation."

Leah was taken aback by the regret and sympathy tinged in her words. "What situation?" she asked, her heart skipping a beat. "Didn't he get out of the hospital already?"

"Are you implying that his injury was severe and that he has yet to recover?"

"Do you know where he is being treated? Can you bring me to see him?"

Anna was amused by Leah's anxious questions and almost burst out laughing.

When she opened her mouth to speak again, she continued solemnly, "I know where, but..."

"He won't let me tell you, though. He said that you are…"

"Not worthy."

Leah felt like she had fallen into an ice hole when she heard the last two words, and her face turned as white as a sheet.

"Ms. Lancaster, Alfred is hurt because of me," she said, forcing the gloomy and jumbled thoughts from her mind. "Could you please tell me which hospital he is in? I'd like to pay him a visit..."
