Ian still didn’t like Han. He was the one who was the most worried when Leah was kidnapped, and Han

was the person who hurt her. How could she tell Ian?

Leah simply ordered a few dishes. Ian took the menu and added a few more orders. They were all

Leah’s favorite dishes in the past.

It wasn’t a long wait for the dishes to be served, but the two of them had nothing to say. It was a

torturing process.

Leah was troubled. She poured herself a glass of water, but she was scalded when she tried to drink it.

She let go of the glass, and it smashed into pieces on the ground.

Leah finally snapped out of her daze. She crouched down and tried to handle the broken glass pieces.

“Don’t move.” Ian stopped her and called for a waiter, “Let him do it. Don’t hurt yourself.”

Leah dared not look at Ian. She knew she was acting weirdly today, “Sorry.”

Ian brushed her hair and said, “There’s nothing to apologize for. You didn’t do it on purpose.”

The waiter left the room after picking up all the glass pieces. Leah sat back in her seat, took a deep

breath and decided to be honest, “Actually, I have something to tell you today.”

Ian was still smiling as he looked at her calmly. “I know,” he said.

He knew something was wrong with Leah. She had been absent-minded since this morning at work.

Every time she saw him, she was trying to say something yet she didn’t.

Especially after work today, Ian was sure of his suspicions when Han appeared.

He just didn’t want to ask her because he knew she would tell him if she wanted him to know about it.

He only needed to treat her better.

Leah finally decided, “Ian, I can’t stay in Fortune Group anymore. I’ve made an agreement with Han

and decided to sign a contract with Howard Group. He has agreed to give me the position of lead

jewelry designer at Howard Group.”

Ian’s smile disappeared. He had his suspicions before this, but he didn’t expect to hear this from her.

Ian put both his hands on the dining table and waited calmly for her to finish before forcing a smile,

“When did you make this decision?”

“Yesterday.” Leah answered honestly, “Han called me. Howard Group always has plans to sign a

contract with me. I was the one who refused to work with their company.”

Ian nodded and asked, “Why did you change your mind all of a sudden?”

Leah chuckled when she heard his question, “Because the rumors have badly affected Fortune Group.”

“I see.” Ian breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Leah had feelings for Han again…

“Since you’ve made your decision, I will respect it,” Ian said while smiling.

“Really? Won’t you hold a grudge?” Leah asked quickly.

“No. Mr. White said he only wanted his daughter to live a happy life by doing the things she wants,” Ian

said gently, “I want the same thing as Mr. White.”

He paused before saying, “I want my girl to be happy.”

His words rippled Leah’s heart.

Did he say “my girl”?

Leah wondered if she had always been a simple girl to Ian just like when she was young.

After dinner, Ian sent Leah back to the White residence.

At the entrance, Leah asked him, “Do you want to go inside and have a cup of tea?”

Ian looked at the mansion and stared at Sarah, “Sarah, do you know what you just said?

Ian was always smiling, but his smile was usually gentle and kind. Unlike now, where his smile had a

slight hint of naughtiness.

Leah was stunned and asked, “What do you mean?”

She only invited him inside to have a cup of tea out of politeness since he used to visit the White

residence often in the past.

It was quite windy on an early autumn night. Leah was wearing a thin shirt and a pair of long pants. A

few strands of her hair were blown to the front of her forehead.

Her stunned expression was cute. Ian couldn’t stand it and helped her comb her hair behind her ears.

Their eyes locked. Leah wanted to move away subconsciously.

“You’re so silly. Inviting a man into your house for a cup of tea at night. What do you think it means?”

Ian smiled and said casually.

Leah finally understood what he meant and blushed. She waved her hands immediately and explained,

“That’s not what I meant.”

Ian just nodded and smiled, “I know. I was only joking. Don’t worry. Before you say it to me, I won’t

force you.”

Without waiting for Leah’s reply, he tapped on her shoulder and said, “You should go inside.”

Leah was not sure what to say to him as well and went inside the mansion.

Her thoughts were a mess. She didn’t know how to face Ian. She knew he was nice to her and that her

best option would be to accept him.

It was what Mrs. White wanted as well.

However, she always felt that it wasn’t right for some reason.

Leah threw herself on the bed and asked herself while staring at the ceiling, “Leah, why are you still

hesitating?”

She slept badly that night because of her troubles. She kept having the same dream. In her dream, she

could see Han’s cold face and Ian’s gentle face. Han was choking her while asking her why she would

be together with Ian while Ian was standing somewhere far away silently looking at her while repeating

the same thing, “I’ve been waiting for you for two years.”

It was a difficult night for Leah. She had a bad headache and dark circles under her eyes when she

woke up.

She couldn’t go back to work in this condition. She called Ian to take a day off, threw her phone away

and planned to go back to sleep. Suddenly, her phone rang.

She didn’t want to answer it, but it was Serena who called. Serena was impatient, so she might rush to

her house if Leah didn’t answer the call. Then, she would have no chance to go back to sleep.

After considering for a moment, Leah decided to answer the call, “What is it?”

“Are you still sleeping?” Serena could hear how tired and drowsy Leah was, so she raised her voice

and asked, “How can you still be sleeping? Take a look on the internet. You are all over the news!”
