Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 431

Chapter 431 So? What Then?

There was a long, deafening silence in Leah's office. The silence stood out even more as there was a huge buzz among the staff members just outside the room.

For a moment, Leah and Serena thought they might have heard wrongly. Both of them stared at each other's faces for the longest time.

"It can't be…" Serena quickly took out her phone and looked up the latest news.

She clicked on an article mentioning Han and Hendrik. As she scrolled down the article and read it, it filled her with a complete sense of bewilderment.

When she was finally done reading it, she swallowed hard and passed her phone to Leah.

"They are the same person…"

Leah had the urge to push the phone away. She wanted to deny the possibility that Han might be Hendrik.

Still, she took the phone as she needed to know the truth.

I've noticed that both men have a lot in common, but they are also very different as well.

She played a clip that was attached to the article, hoping desperately that it was just another fake news.

However, she could see Hendrik taking off his mask in a car, revealing Han's face the next instant.

Leah was in a state of shock. She handed Serena's phone back to her and sat there quietly for some time.

I've suspected that Han and Hendrik are the same man previously. However, I changed my mind after spending more time with Hendrik and getting to know him better.

Leah could feel her indignation rising. She wanted very badly to question Han face-to-face.

Why did you lie to me? Why would you try to approach me by using a fake identity?!

She was about to pick up her phone when she paused abruptly.

Both Han and Hendrik have helped me a lot. I have no right to get angry over this.

Still, it made her feel sad as she thought about what Hendrik had said to her.

Didn't you say that we were friends? Why would you lie to me then?

I've asked you multiple times before, and I've told you I hate people lying to me.

Now I finally know why Han didn't mind hearing about Hendrik and me getting close…

I even made the correct guess previously, but I convinced myself that it wasn't true…

Leah felt deeply frustrated with herself.

"Sarah…" Serena had no idea where to begin.

It's beyond my wildest imagination that those two are actually the same person!

What's more, both of them were involved with Sarah, especially Hendrik! That man was so attentive to her.

"Um… Well, we can say for sure now that Han actually loves you, right?" Serena smiled awkwardly and said.

Leah's heart missed a beat. She denied it frantically, "That's impossible!"

Perhaps he did like me at some point back then, but that wasn't love.

However, Hendrik was really kind to me…

Just then, Serena's phone rang. Carlotta had woken up due to all the noises on their floor. She was looking for Leah.

"Where's Mommy? Did she leave already?"

Carlotta sounded extremely dejected as she thought Leah had left without saying goodbye.

Leah took the phone from Serena and answered in a gentle voice, "I'm still here, Carlotta. I'm going to you right now."

It was almost dinnertime, so Leah and Serena brought some food with them to have dinner with Carlotta upstairs.

While they were having dinner together, Carlotta turned on the TV with the remote control.

The news of Han having two identities happened to come on at that moment. Carlotta was briefly stunned as she watched the news. Then, she exclaimed, "Daddy and Uncle Hendrik are the same person?!"

Leah pinched her cheek playfully. "You shouldn't watch TV while you're eating. It's bad for your tummy."

Carlotta turned her gaze away and straightened herself a little. She continued eating silently with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Suddenly, her face lit up, and she said excitedly, "That means I've found the perfect solution to my problem of not being able to have two dads!"

"It is solved as long as Daddy and Uncle Hendrik are the same person!"

Carlotta turned out to be the happiest person to learn the news.

Leah and Serena were both rendered speechless by the little girl's remarks.

However, Carlotta paid no mind to their response as she went on muttering to herself, "I even thought it was improper that Mommy was secretly dating Uncle Hendrik back then. I guess I was worried for nothing, after all."

The girl was beaming from ear to ear at that point.

After dinner, Serena mentioned what she had heard about Donald to Leah.

"Sarah, I think Donald has gotten himself in trouble. The police have learned of his illegal activities, and he's left the country to escape the law enforcers. I haven't heard any news of him for a long while."
