Begging For A Reconciliation

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."

Leah's mood has been off ever since she learned they were going out yesterday.

Leah was exhausted and lacked the strength to argue with him. She leaned on him as Han changed

her clothes for her. Han was irritated and had to control his rage because of her excessively submissive

behavior. He thus pulled a long face and led her outside.

"Carlotta has been awake for some time. She is incredibly happy today. You need to put away that

blank expression on your face."

Leah adjusted her expression while quietly glancing at Han. This man dared to criticize her despite how

icy he was at all times.

Han had booked the entire Aquaria.

Leah's aching head was relieved by the serene and chilly blue surroundings. Today, she appeared to

be particularly worn out. She struggled to keep up with Han and Carlotta because she did not have

much strength to walk.

"Dad, look at these gorgeous fishes! I want to keep them as pets!"

Han held Carlotta in his arms while the young girl pointed enthusiastically at the swimming fish.

Han gave a soft smile and said, "Sure, I'll build an aquarium for you."

Leah had a really hard time keeping up with the two's pace. She simply stood still and observed their

backs. Han's incredibly tolerant and good-tempered toward Carlotta always surprised her.

Han turned around and found Leah sitting on the steps. She was panting and gazing enviously at the

carefree fish with complex emotions in her eyes.

Ben had been lurking in the shadows, and he walked up to Han at this time. He said, "Boss, Ms. White

seems exhausted."

Han handed Carlotta to Ben and walked up to Leah. He looked at her from a towering position, he

asked, "When did your stamina become so poor?"

It seemed odd to Leah as well. She took a deep breath and stood up, saying, "Maybe I caught a cold

last night."

After all, she had slept in her sweat-soaked pajamas for the entire night. It was normal for her to catch

a cold.

"You're so prone to illness."

Han said it impatiently. He grabbed her hand and led her outside. He said, "Get in the car and take a

nap. I'll continue to walk around with Carlotta."

Han left Leah in the car and went back to Aquaria. Leah suddenly started coughing hysterically at this

precise moment.
