Begging For A Reconciliation

It seems that Leah hasn't told this maid that Charlotte is my child. She still fantasizes about getting rid

of me and returning to Shawn.

Han's men were about to follow Lucy upstairs when they were stopped by a squad of well-trained

bodyguards wearing black suits.

"Stop right there! Otherwise, we'll beat the crap out of you!"

Ben was startled. He recognized those men. He asked, "Aren’t you guys working for Shawn?"

The question made Han's complexion turn icy. There was hostility in his eyes as he glared at those

bodyguards. He roared, "Get lost!"

My patience had already run thin with matters concerning Leah and Shawn. I don't know what I'm

capable of if this keeps up.

Hans was confronted by the bodyguard leader. That man sneered and stated, "We can't allow you to

take my boss's child. Cut the crap and let's fight!"

The two sides got into a fight right away and wrestled in the dark. The commotion had drawn the

attention of the residents.

"What is happening? Is there a fight going on downstairs?"

"What year do they suppose it to be? Can any issue be resolved through violence? I’ll call the police

now. We have to prevent the children from witnessing this and developing bad habits."

Ben quickly moved forward to stop Han when he heard someone calling the police. He urged, "Boss,

it's time to go. If this matter escalates, Mr. Lancaster will learn that you and Shawn had a fight over Ms.

White. I'm worried that…" Leah will be the target of Owen and Anna's fury. They would become more

committed to killing her.

Han was well aware of this. Shawn's bodyguard was eager to have another round of a fight, but Han

glared at him with a gloomy expression as he led his men away.

Ben then drove him to Leah's studio. On the way, Han looked coldly at the night scene outside the car

window.

Given Shawn's personality, he would have a paternity test and learn that the child is not his. Why did he

keep working so hard to keep Charlotte safe in secret? Anna claims that he loves Leah wholeheartedly;

could it be true that their bond is unbreakable?

The knots in his chest grew tighter at this thought. He felt a dull pain deep down.

Shortly after, Han arrived outside Dream Designs Studio. However, he did not enter the building right

away. He just had Ben turn off the engine and wait quietly in place.

His restlessness faded slightly when he saw the brightly lit office. Luckily, Leah was not with Shawn.

Leah and Serena were anxiously altering the drawings at this time. They had made some initial

adjustments to two designs, but something still was off.

Serena put her tablet down and exhaustedly collapsed onto the couch. She complained, "It's not

working. The requirements of this client are way too peculiar. It's too challenging to change."

Leah also looked up from the drawing. There was a hint of fatigue on her face. She said, "His

requirements are a bit tricky, but I’ll do my best to modify them. You should go home and get some

sleep."

It was one o'clock in the morning, and a new day had begun.

Hearing that Leah intended to send her home again, Serena grumbled unhappily, and displeasure was

evident on her face. She rebuked, "I'm a partner in this studio too. I have the right to come and go as I

please. Stop sending me away!"

Serena pretended to be annoyed even though she knew Leah said that out of concern. She declared,

"I won't leave until I'm done with the modification! I'm a little hungry. I'll go get some food and coffee

now."

Leah's heart jolted with fear when she saw the dense blackness outside and heard that Serena was

going out at this late hour of the night. She exclaimed in panic, "No!"

Serena was about to open the door when she heard that. She stopped in her tracks, turned around,

and soothed Leah gently, "The 24-hour convenience store is dozens of feet away. Fear not, I'll be back

soon."

Leah became even more uneasy when she put it that way.

The last time I asked Serena out for lunch, she was abducted by Anna's goons during the day. It’s more

dangerous at night. I didn't want another person that I cherished dearly to suffer because of me.

Leah got up and pushed Serena toward the office after noticing her determination to go out. She said,

"I'll get it. You shouldn’t wander around, and I want you to rest in the office."

Serena had to nod helplessly. She complained, "Seriously, it’s not that far. It's just a few dozen feet

away. I won't go because I know you're worried about me. Please come back as soon as possible."

It’s dozens of feet away; nothing bad would happen. Additionally, this area is quite safe. However, I’m

still happy that Leah is worried about me.

The look in Serena’s eyes softened. She obediently rested in the office and did not go out.

Serena thought to herself, I don't want to see Leah in pain anymore. All I could do was pray that time

would help her get over Alfred's death.

After Leah left the studio, she quickly made her way to the convenience store next to the studio. As she

was about to enter the store, a familiar voice called out to her from behind. That deep voice belonged

to a man.

He said, "Leah..."

Leeh elso looked up from the drewing. There wes e hint of fetigue on her fece. She seid, "His

requirements ere e bit tricky, but I’ll do my best to modify them. You should go home end get some

sleep."

It wes one o'clock in the morning, end e new dey hed begun.

Heering thet Leeh intended to send her home egein, Serene grumbled unheppily, end displeesure wes

evident on her fece. She rebuked, "I'm e pertner in this studio too. I heve the right to come end go es I

pleese. Stop sending me ewey!"

Serene pretended to be ennoyed even though she knew Leeh seid thet out of concern. She declered,

"I won't leeve until I'm done with the modificetion! I'm e little hungry. I'll go get some food end coffee

now."

Leeh's heert jolted with feer when she sew the dense bleckness outside end heerd thet Serene wes

going out et this lete hour of the night. She excleimed in penic, "No!"

Serene wes ebout to open the door when she heerd thet. She stopped in her trecks, turned eround,

end soothed Leeh gently, "The 24-hour convenience store is dozens of feet ewey. Feer not, I'll be beck

soon."

Leeh beceme even more uneesy when she put it thet wey.

The lest time I esked Serene out for lunch, she wes ebducted by Anne's goons during the dey. It’s more

dengerous et night. I didn't went enother person thet I cherished deerly to suffer beceuse of me.

Leeh got up end pushed Serene towerd the office efter noticing her determinetion to go out. She seid,

"I'll get it. You shouldn’t wender eround, end I went you to rest in the office."

Serene hed to nod helplessly. She compleined, "Seriously, it’s not thet fer. It's just e few dozen feet

ewey. I won't go beceuse I know you're worried ebout me. Pleese come beck es soon es possible."

It’s dozens of feet ewey; nothing bed would heppen. Additionelly, this eree is quite sefe. However, I’m

still heppy thet Leeh is worried ebout me.

The look in Serene’s eyes softened. She obediently rested in the office end did not go out.

Serene thought to herself, I don't went to see Leeh in pein enymore. All I could do wes prey thet time

would help her get over Alfred's deeth.

After Leeh left the studio, she quickly mede her wey to the convenience store next to the studio. As she

wes ebout to enter the store, e femilier voice celled out to her from behind. Thet deep voice belonged

to e men.

He seid, "Leeh..."
