Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 455 What’s Our Relationship Status

The bitterly cold wind and rain lashed at the windows, rivulets cascading down the glass like waterfalls.

Inside the room, all was silent, but Leah felt as if the clamor in her heart and ears would never stop. The deafening thudding of her heart helped her to ignore the turmoil in her mind.

Han had kept these photographs all this while. From the looks of it, he had constantly kept them with him as well.

She suddenly felt like crying again; this was not good. Blowing her nose, she was about to return the photos to Han's pocket when Carlotta's gleeful voice interrupted her. "Mommy! You and Daddy have pictures like this! How come I didn't know about it? Heehee, I've found out your little secret now! There are so many pictures. I want one to put in my photo album!" She stretched out her chubby little fingers to take one.

Leah immediately caught hold of her eager hands. Patiently, she explained, "Carlotta, these are your Daddy's photos. Mommy can't say yes because they're not mine. If you want one, wait till he comes back, then you can ask him yourself, okay?"

These pictures were Han's treasured possessions. She could not make such a decision on her own.

Fortunately, Carlotta did not seem unduly upset by this since she already had a lot of photographs of the three of them together. "Okay! When is Daddy coming back then?"

Leah bit the inside of her lip hard to remind herself to stay calm. "That, I don't know, darling. He's gone on a business trip. If things finish fast, then it'll be a few days. If not, perhaps a few months maybe…"

At this, Carlotta's face fell, and she looked accusingly at Leah. "Bad Daddy! He went on such a faraway trip, and he didn't tell me! Hmph! He'd better have presents for me when he comes back, or I won't forgive him, ever!"

When she saw what a spirited response this had provoked in her daughter, Leah felt even more desolate than before.

Would Han ever come back? Surely he would! He had to.

It was a working day, so Leah stayed with Carlotta and played with her until the early afternoon before leaving for Dream Designs.
