Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 343

Chapter 343 A Fire Has Broken Out

At Han’s scornful tone, Leah stiffened entirely. Her heart inexorably clenched painfully, and the utterly humiliating words turned her eyes red-rimmed.

She couldn’t understand what she had done in the past two days that he loathed her so much and just had to insult her endlessly.

Could it be for no other reason than me having learned of Alfred’s death? Or does he think that someone who belongs to him should stay away from other men?

“Have you said enough, Han?” She forcibly kept her tears at bay, the smile on her lips derisive.

When Han saw her putting on a pitiful look again, he instinctively felt irritated. His tapered eyes glinted coldly.

Sneering, he elegantly strolled over to the reception desk and sat down. A layer of frost blanketed his handsome face. “I came for an important matter this time. A woman with a promiscuous private life like you aren’t worthy of being Carlotta’s mother. I want to take her away.”

As the sun blazed outside, Leah’s ears started buzzing from his words.

She stared at the man blankly before she abruptly shrieked, “Never! Carlotta is my daughter! What right do you have to take her away? You want to steal my daughter away with just a one-sided claim?”

Frenzy lined her lovely face, her usual gentleness nowhere to be seen. She was determined to fight him to the bitter end.

At that very instant, she was merely a mother. While she was weak, she would do anything for her child.

Her attitude had the temperature around Han drop sharply. He regarded the emotional woman icily. “What kind of environment do you think someone like you can give Carlotta?”

Hearing that, Leah snorted. “What about you, then? How are you any better than me?”

Can he ensure that she grows up whole and happy when he constantly dates different women?

Following the direction of her thoughts, she marched up to him with a resolute look in her eyes. “No matter what, I won’t allow you to take Carlotta away.”

He’s going to marry Anna soon, and they’ll have their own kid in the future. If he were to take Carlotta over now, he’ll only be subjecting her to misery!

At her relentless arguments, Han finally lost his patience. “I’ve already had someone pick her up from Wisteria Court. I merely came to inform you.”

He looked down at her before standing up to leave.

Bang! The sound of a vase shattering suddenly rang out in the room.

The moment he turned back, he was greeted by the sight of Leah holding a fragment of the vase against her neck. The sharp edge instantly had bright red blood trickle down her ivory neck.

She glared at him with her eyes blazing scarlet and her breathing rapid. “I might not be your match, Han, but I can easily end my own life!”

If I hadn’t any idea about Anna’s true colors, I might not be so averse to it deep within. But I now know that she hates me with a vengeance. How could I possibly do nothing and allow my daughter to suffer? Right now, I’m weak and powerless without an influential background. All I can do is this…

“Have you lost your mind, Leah?” Han’s pupils abruptly constricted, her bright red blood reflecting in his eyes.

Striding forward, he made to snatch the shard from her hand. However, Leah dodged and pressed it even deeper into her flesh.

“Stay away from me! Let Carlotta go! You’re going to marry Anna soon, Han. Why must you steal Carlotta away? I’m her only mother, and I’ll always keep her company by her side!”

Her shrill voice was colored with a trace of hoarseness and sorrow. Tears escaped the corners of her eyes and rolled down her face.

All she could think of then was to use such a foolish tactic to protect someone important to her.

She felt that Han would not possibly allow her to die when she still owed him 70 million. And so, she staked her own life.

Han took a long and hard look at her, his complex gaze falling on the wound on her neck.

Sometime later, his lips slowly parted. “Is your life so worthless in your eyes? Don’t tell me you think I’ll relent?”

When Leah met his gloomy gaze, a chill struck her. Unbidden, her hand holding the shard trembled.

I thought I’d long since gotten accustomed to his words. Never had I expected it to still hurt so painfully every time I hear them.

“I just want you to let Carlotta go and not snatch her away from me…”

The life was gone from her beautiful eyes, rendering them frightfully bleak.

How laughable I am! I vowed to protect those important to me henceforth, yet he’s easily walking all over me. If only I’m stronger!

“Hah! How dumb!” Snickering, Han closed the distance between them.

As Leah was flustered and had not the time to hurt herself further, his long and slender hand seized her delicate wrist and snatched the shard in her hand away.

Panicking at once, she made to pick up another shard from the ground. However, Han scooped her up and tossed her on the couch before pinning her down.

He said nothing, merely imprisoning her in his arms with his ebony eyes pinned on her.

The uniquely cool fragrance emanating from him sent Leah into a tizzy inwardly. His aura was so overwhelming that a cold sweat had broken out on her palms.
