Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 405 Anomalies

The downpour grew more intense. There were clear streams of water flowing down from the windows.

Ben awaited Han's signature on some paperwork by his side. When he saw his boss flirt with Leah, he tactfully left with the documents. He said, "Boss, I'll start the car now."

The moment Han heard his name from Leah's lips, he felt a tingling sensation in his heart. He put on his pricey custom suit and headed to White Group. He followed Leah's directions and found the first-floor restroom.

Han spotted a recognizable figure who was still holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He sneered, "Oh, it's you."

It makes sense that Leah would ask for his help given the extent to which he pushed her.

Shawn felt a chill on his back due to the intense pressure coming from behind him. His expression abruptly changed to one of icy coolness when he turned around and saw Han.

Shawn asked, "What on earth are you doing here?"

Han approached Shawn, and his handsome face had an icy appearance. He said, "I should be the one to ask you that."

The atmosphere between the two quickly turned tense and began to draw the attention of the onlookers.

Ben and Ross sprinted over and scattered the onlookers. The two exchanged looks before standing behind Han to collaborate against Shawn.

"Mr. Ford, from what I understand, you two are not married. Please leave."

"Mr. Ford, this is the White Group. Please show some respect."

Shawn's face had a grave and icy appearance as he turned to face the united trio. Finally, he let out an angry laugh before taking the flowers and leaving. He threatened, "Han, stop dreaming that you can hide your identity as Hendrik from Sarah forever."

After he left, Ross stepped forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Ms. White, he's gone. You can come out now!"

Leah opened the door cautiously. She carefully peered out to make sure Shawn had truly left before she exited with relief. Han's heart melted at her adorable appearance. He embraced her in his arms with a gentle smile.

He said, "Shawn and you used to get along incredibly well. Why did you change your mind? Is it because you fell in love with me?"

Leah did not argue with him when she considered that Han had just helped her. She just frowned and changed the subject. She said, "He's been bothering me lately and telling me all sorts of strange things."

Shawn’s aura had been getting darker and more ominous ever since he told her in the office that Han and Hendrik were the same people, and she did not believe him. He always asks Leah to take Carlotta to see him or asks her to go out with him. Leah felt uneasy about his request.

Leah was hit by a strong wind and a downpour outside of the building. Her thin clothing made her shiver. A coat carrying Han's cool and pleasant perfume was placed on her shoulder as she was wrapping herself up more tightly in her clothes.

Leah's heart was left feeling warm from the coat's lingering warmth, which dimmed the sparkle in her eyes a little.

Leah wondered, how much longer can this deceitful pretense continue? Will I fall head over heels in love again?

The sky had turned dark on their way home.

Han broke the silence and proposed, "Take a day off tomorrow. We'll take Carlotta to Aquaria."

Leah found the word "we" to sound especially harsh. Her head started to buzz, and the corners of her eyes started to turn red. After some time, she finally said, "Okay."

Han detected the choked sound in her hoarse voice. He pulled her into his arms as his expression darkened. Han used this long finger to firmly pinch Leah's cheeks. He asked, "Leah, Is going out with me something you find intolerable?"

She actually cried when he asked her to take a day off. All of his good moods suddenly vanished.

Hans was frustrated.

Leah held back the sourness in her eyes and the weariness in her heart. She said, "Not really, I'm just tired."

She seemed to be telling the truth in her soft and weary voice.

Han stared at her for a while before letting her go. He warned, "Whatever your reason, you'd better get used to being with me."

They arrived at the villa shortly after.

Leah was genuinely worn out. She had been feeling weighed down and sleepy for the past few days.

After having a simple meal, she took a shower and went to bed.

Carlotta peeked into her mother's room with Han and said, "Mommy is actually sleeping. She looks tired. Should we stay at home tomorrow so Mommy can take a day off, Daddy?"

Han cast a quick glance over to Leah, who was lying on the bed. He stroked the little girl's soft hair and said, "She’s fine. She'll recover after a good rest."

Carlotta was cheered up hearing this. Her cheeks had turned rosy, and she said excitedly, "This is awesome, daddy! Tomorrow, we're going to do more than have fun. We're going to eat lots of delicious food and take pictures together!"

Han noticed that the little girl's voice was a little loud, so he closed the bedroom door and took her back to his room.

Carlotta could not sleep because she was so excited. She keeps asking Han to tell her stories. Han complied and stayed with her all night.

Leah had a dream. She was in great distress because the agony of the past had come back to haunt her. She was covered in a cold sweat when she awoke the next morning.

Although it was cloudy outside, there was no rain. While the refreshing and cool breeze was blowing. Leah felt lightheaded as she changed her clothes, then she went limp and fell to the ground. Her ears were buzzing.

Han entered the room after hearing the noise. His expression immediately became bleak when he witnessed her fall. He approached her, helped her to stand up, and then dressed her.

"Leah, just let me know if you don't want to go. Stop using such a lame trick."
