Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 375

Chapter 375 I Want a Baby Brother

Leah looked up at the man in a confused state when she heard his name and asked, "You're Hendrik?"

Was it Hendrik who had befriended her?

"If not?"

Leah paused as she studied the mask on his face with a puzzled expression. "What's your relationship with Shawn?" she inquired.

She might as well ask her questions now that he had appeared before her.

There must be a reason Shawn was so determined to find him!

"I have nothing to do with him," the man said nonchalantly.

Leah had never heard this person's voice before, but something about it felt strangely familiar, especially the faint scent coming from Hendrik's body. The scent was uncannily similar to the one Han always wore.

She suddenly had the ridiculous thought that they might be the same person.

However, she was quick to dismiss that theory.

Unlike Hendrik who was so gentle, Han would do everything he could to torment her. Even though they both had a cold demeanor, Hendrik would always answer her questions patiently, console her, and encourage her to always look forward.

"Thank you for saving me. I should go back." Leah gave her heartfelt thanks.

She did not expect him to show up in Linkville only to save her yet again.

He was the hero as portrayed in the movies, always appearing to save the leading female character.

She staggered away from Hendrik, wanting to leave, but her arms were immediately grabbed. When her skin came into contact with his touch, the familiar sensation sent tingles to the base of her skull.

Helpless, Leah had no choice. She turned around with a smile on her face and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Hendrik dragged her downstairs to the dining area and told her, "Eat first before you go."

A table of exquisite dishes greeted her, most of which were her favorites.

Leah was shocked to the core. "How do you know I like to eat these?" she asked, her gaze fixed on Hendrik's mask.

"If I set my mind to think, I would know," Hendrik replied as he sat her on the seat.

He didn't eat. He just sat there quietly, watching Leah eat.

He wouldn't let her go until she was done eating. "We're still in Linkville. A car is waiting outside to take you back," he explained.

Leah stood in front of Hendrik with a serious expression as he turned to walk away. "There's something I'd like to know," she said.

She moved closer to him, almost touching him.

"What is it?" Hendrik asked, his brows slightly furrowed beneath the mask.

"Come a little closer," Leah said, motioning for him to lower his head.

Hendrik complied but didn't say anything, as if he had read her mind.

Leah gave him a long look, then slowly said, "I want to know who is behind this mask…"

She reached out and grabbed his mask to remove it before she had even finished speaking.

A slender hand, however, reached out and grabbed her hand. On both hands, Hendrik wore black suede gloves similar to those of noblemen. Even though the gloves were on, Leah could feel his sweltering body heat.

"Don't be so impatient. When I get a chance, I'll show you." Hendrik's cold voice had a playful tone to it.

Leah blushed and pulled her hand back with embarrassment. She immediately followed up with, "I'm sorry. Are we still friends?"

She always felt that Hendrik was not as terrifying as people had made him out to be, even if they had only been texting back and forth over the phone.

Now that she had seen him, she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe as she stood beside him.

He'll definitely get angry at this stupid stunt I've pulled…

"As long as you desire our friendship." Hendrik released her hand after saying that.

Leah exhaled a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, saying, "Thank you for always helping me! See you next time!"

She hurried away after waving goodbye to him.

Serena was probably worried sick when she vanished so suddenly.

He didn't remove the mask until she faded away into the distance.

Han's heart was racing as he remembered her smile from earlier.

It had been a long time since he had seen her smile so freely without having to keep her guard up.

He wanted to see more of that for no apparent reason.

The advantages brought about by this Hendrik personality appeared to be far greater than he could have imagined…

Serena had been doing well in her recovery. Ten days flew by, and she was back at the studio.

On the day Serena was discharged from the hospital, Leah had made special arrangements for everyone working in the studio to take the day off to celebrate with a meal together and some downtime.

In the morning, everyone was discussing where to go.

"Let's go to Ocean City, Sarah! We can watch the great white sharks and dolphins perform!"

"Why not go to an amusement park instead, Sarah? Let me play with your daughter..." Serena approached Leah with a mischievous grin.

Leah arched her brows a little and said, "Carlotta is with Han. You'll have to tell Han about it."

She couldn't have Carlotta whenever she wanted anymore, let alone lend her to Serena to play with.

Serena felt put out. She pouted and grumbled, "Why don't you have another baby with somebody else so I can play with them?"

Everyone in the office felt the air had grown heavy as soon as the words were spoken.

They all shuddered as if they had been preyed on by a dangerous beast.

Following their line of sight, Leah turned her head but was startled to see Han staring back at her with his cold, deep gaze.

A cute little girl was standing next to him.
