Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 335 Conflict

There was no light coming from Leah's home when Han arrived at her apartment in the Wisteria Court. Clearly, Leah had not returned home yet. Han's complexion grew tense at this discovery.

Ben, who was driving, sighed a little bit after noticed Han’s gloomy aura. He wondered, "Boss, should we visit Ms. White's studio?"

Leah constantly received particular attention from Han, Anna, Shawn, and others. The fact that Leah had opened a studio was no secret to them.

"Drive," Han commanded sternly as he coldly withdrew his gaze.

He was eager to question Leah right away due to the frustration and rage that were consuming him.

Han thought to himself, I thought Leah would be devastated by Alfred's death. It turned out that she happily took her daughter to play with Shawn the next day. I wanted to know whether she had a heart or if I had never really gotten to know her.

Ben received his instructions and fired up the car in a flash.

Han caught sight of a familiar figure as they were about to leave.

"Stop the car!" He ordered Ben and got out of the car.

Lucy was holding Charlotte in her arms and carrying the girl upstairs. She was startled by Han's sudden appearance. Lucy asked, "Do you need something?"

Lucy recognized Han because she worked for Shawn. She feared that this man might harm Charlotte. Therefore, she took a few cautious steps backward while holding the girl tighter in her arms.

Han was upset with Lucy’s response. He approached her with a glum expression and threatened, "Give her to me, or you will suffer the consequences."

Han did not want Leah and his daughter to be with another man. As a result, he made the decision to keep Charlotte by his side for the time being. He was forced to adopt this strategy, because Leah was looking down at him.

Naturally, Lucy could not hand the child to Han as Shawn's employee. She mustered the courage to glare at Han coldly, despite his domineering aura. She retorted, "What do you mean? I will never give her to you!"

With that being said, Lucy hurriedly ran upstairs.

Han sneered and waved his hand. Ben, who was behind him, noticed what was going on and quickly ordered his men who lurked in the dark to pursue Lucy.

Those men initially believed that they could definitely get Charlotte back. Han had a similar opinion. As he observed Lucy running away in fear, he grinned cruelly.

It seems that Leah hasn't told this maid that Charlotte is my child. She still fantasizes about getting rid of me and returning to Shawn.

Han's men were about to follow Lucy upstairs when they were stopped by a squad of well-trained bodyguards wearing black suits.

"Stop right there! Otherwise, we'll beat the crap out of you!"

Ben was startled. He recognized those men. He asked, "Aren’t you guys working for Shawn?"

The question made Han's complexion turn icy. There was hostility in his eyes as he glared at those bodyguards. He roared, "Get lost!"

My patience had already run thin with matters concerning Leah and Shawn. I don't know what I'm capable of if this keeps up.

Hans was confronted by the bodyguard leader. That man sneered and stated, "We can't allow you to take my boss's child. Cut the crap and let's fight!"

The two sides got into a fight right away and wrestled in the dark. The commotion had drawn the attention of the residents.

"What is happening? Is there a fight going on downstairs?"

"What year do they suppose it to be? Can any issue be resolved through violence? I’ll call the police now. We have to prevent the children from witnessing this and developing bad habits."

Ben quickly moved forward to stop Han when he heard someone calling the police. He urged, "Boss, it's time to go. If this matter escalates, Mr. Lancaster will learn that you and Shawn had a fight over Ms. White. I'm worried that…" Leah will be the target of Owen and Anna's fury. They would become more committed to killing her.

Han was well aware of this. Shawn's bodyguard was eager to have another round of a fight, but Han glared at him with a gloomy expression as he led his men away.

Ben then drove him to Leah's studio. On the way, Han looked coldly at the night scene outside the car window.

Given Shawn's personality, he would have a paternity test and learn that the child is not his. Why did he keep working so hard to keep Charlotte safe in secret? Anna claims that he loves Leah wholeheartedly; could it be true that their bond is unbreakable?

The knots in his chest grew tighter at this thought. He felt a dull pain deep down.

Shortly after, Han arrived outside Dream Designs Studio. However, he did not enter the building right away. He just had Ben turn off the engine and wait quietly in place.

His restlessness faded slightly when he saw the brightly lit office. Luckily, Leah was not with Shawn.

Leah and Serena were anxiously altering the drawings at this time. They had made some initial adjustments to two designs, but something still was off.

Serena put her tablet down and exhaustedly collapsed onto the couch. She complained, "It's not working. The requirements of this client are way too peculiar. It's too challenging to change."

Leah also looked up from the drawing. There was a hint of fatigue on her face. She said, "His requirements are a bit tricky, but I’ll do my best to modify them. You should go home and get some sleep."

It was one o'clock in the morning, and a new day had begun.

Hearing that Leah intended to send her home again, Serena grumbled unhappily, and displeasure was evident on her face. She rebuked, "I'm a partner in this studio too. I have the right to come and go as I please. Stop sending me away!"

Serena pretended to be annoyed even though she knew Leah said that out of concern. She declared, "I won't leave until I'm done with the modification! I'm a little hungry. I'll go get some food and coffee now."

Leah's heart jolted with fear when she saw the dense blackness outside and heard that Serena was going out at this late hour of the night. She exclaimed in panic, "No!"

Serena was about to open the door when she heard that. She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and soothed Leah gently, "The 24-hour convenience store is dozens of feet away. Fear not, I'll be back soon."

Leah became even more uneasy when she put it that way.

The last time I asked Serena out for lunch, she was abducted by Anna's goons during the day. It’s more dangerous at night. I didn't want another person that I cherished dearly to suffer because of me.

Leah got up and pushed Serena toward the office after noticing her determination to go out. She said, "I'll get it. You shouldn’t wander around, and I want you to rest in the office."

Serena had to nod helplessly. She complained, "Seriously, it’s not that far. It's just a few dozen feet away. I won't go because I know you're worried about me. Please come back as soon as possible."

It’s dozens of feet away; nothing bad would happen. Additionally, this area is quite safe. However, I’m still happy that Leah is worried about me.
