Ch. 181..185: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 181-185

Chapter 181

Leah walked to the living room after changing her clothes in her bedroom. Under the dim light, she saw Shawn sleeping on the couch. Half of his body was hanging outside the couch with a thin blanket.

Leah was annoyed at the sight of Shawn. She did not even think about putting a warmer blanket on him.

She opened the refrigerator and took a few gulps of ice-cold water to calm her restlessness.

“Sarah? You are awake so early.” Then, Leah heard Shawn mumbling behind her.

Hearing his childish tone, Leah finally realized she was not dreaming about this.

“I’m going to work. You can sleep in,” said Leah as she threw the water bottle in the bin.

However, Shawn had lost all his desire to sleep after hearing Leah’s words. He ran and followed Leah tightly. “I want to stay with you! Please don’t leave me here alone. You promised me yesterday you wouldn’t leave me if I’m a good boy!”

Leah was starting to get irritated.

She wondered what Shawn had experienced in his childhood to make him so insecure, but she was too tired to deal with him at the moment.

“Whatever! Just follow if you want,” said Leah flatly before she picked up her jacket and got ready to leave.

Shawn was delighted to hear that. He quickly followed Leah.

Leah went to R.W. Co. to see Roman.

“I’m sorry, Ms. White. We had people searching every inch of the beach at upstream Ocean View, but we still couldn’t find Mr. Howard,” said Roman in his office.

Leah’s heart sunk. She knew Han’s survival rate was getting slimmer after two days.

Leah’s legs gave out. She had to support herself by holding onto the desk next to her.

“Nothing? Not even a drowned body?” Leah frowned.

“No.” Roman shook his head and looked at Leah with great concern.

He was worried that Leah might not be able to take the news.

Leah pursed her lips. If they still could not find the body, Han might still be alive. He might be swept away by the currents and no one had found him yet.

Leah refused to believe Han was dead.

Suddenly, Leah’s eyes lit up. “Did you say you searched the upstream of the Ocean View? What about the downstream? Did you search there?” she turned and asked Roman.

The water flowed from upstream to downstream. Perhaps Han was carried by the water downstream?

Of course, Roman thought about this too.

“There’s only a village downstream. It’s very unlikely Mr. Howard is there because someone would make a report otherwise. There’s no news about that.” Roman shook his head.

“Well, no news is good news,” said Leah. She seemed more motivated now. “I will not give up if there’s a tiny chance. I’ll go to the village and ask if they have seen Han.”

Then, Leah walked out of the office.

Roman quickly picked up his car key. “Let me give you a ride.”

“Thank you, Mr. Walker.” Leah nodded.

Leah and Shawn waited at the roadside outside the R.W. Co. building, waiting for Roman to bring his car.

Shawn pulled Leah’s sleeve timidly. “Sarah, you promised to get me mango-flavored gummy bears yesterday.”

Leah glared at Shawn, who was pouting his lips and acting like he was wronged.

Leah was getting irritated. She only said it to calm him. She did not really plan to get him the gummy bears. Also, where can she find gummy bears at this moment?

Leah pulled her sleeve out of Shawn’s grip. “I have something to do now. I’ll get it when I’m back,” she said.

Leah thought Shawn would be Han’s problem when she brought him back. Han could buy gummy bears for Shawn.

Shawn was devastated when he heard Leah’s words. He looked down at the floor.

Why is everyone like this?

Daddy also always said he was busy and would play with me when he finished his work.

Then, Roman arrived in his car. He opened the car door, and Leah entered the car.

Roman looked at Shawn, who followed behind Leah, and frowned gently. “Do we have to bring him along?”

“Don’t worry. He will be Han’s problem when we find him,” said Leah.

Roman did not say anything. He stepped on the accelerator and drove to the village in downstream Ocean View.

The village was about half an hour’s drive away from Dawnville. It was called Dragon Village because, according to the myth, a dragon resided in the village.

Roman told Leah more about Dragon Village on their way to the village.

The road to the village was getting narrower and more deserted. When Leah started to think the village was quite secluded, Roman stopped his car.

He took off his seatbelt. “We had arrived.”

Leah opened the door and got down of the car. She saw a stone tablet on the roadside, with “Dragon Village” written in big red letters.

Behind the stone tablet was a cement road with pine trees planted on both sides. Dragon Village seemed to be a nice place, despite being far away from the city.

“Let’s go to the village,” said Roman to Leah.

Leah nodded. Three of them walked to the village, following the cement road.

The residents in Dragon Village lived a rather well life. There were plenty of little brick houses in the village. Some old residents were playing cards and chatting leisurely on the porch.

It was like heaven on earth.

“Hello, sir.” Leah walked towards the old gentlemen.

The old gentlemen turned their heads and frowned when they saw the outsiders.

“Excuse us. Do you see a completely drenched, tall young man in a white shirt and a black suit? He also looked rather fierce,” Leah asked the gentlemen politely.

She tried her best to give them the most accurate description of Han’s outlook.

However, the old gentlemen shook their heads. “We hardly see a young man here.”

“Exactly. Most of the young men went into the city for work. None of them are staying.”

“I see. Thank you very much.” Leah was disappointed.

They walked further and asked other villagers. All of them said they had never seen Han.

Leah felt an overwhelming sense of despair.

Was Han really not here?

“Forget it. Let’s go back,” said Leah hopelessly.

At that moment, she heard a voice. “Lee, put the water here,” said a female voice.

Chapter 182

For some reason, Leah felt her heart thumping when she heard the voice.

She turned around slowly and followed the source of the voice. Her eyes narrowed.

Not far from them, a young man and a young woman were walking toward them on the cement road. The young woman was wearing a dress with a floral pattern. Her face looked rather ordinary, with an innocent smile on it.

However, the man in a grey T-shirt… wasn’t that Han?

Smiles reappeared on Leah’s face. She ran forward. “Han Howard, I finally found you! We have been…”

Her smile froze before she finished her sentence.

Han walked past Leah with a cold expression, ignoring Leah without looking at her even for a second.

All the while, Han’s eyes were on the woman walking by his side.

Leah’s expression hardened. She turned and grabbed Han’s wrist. “Han Howard, what’s wrong with you?”

Finally, Han placed his gaze on Leah.

However, he swiped away Leah’s hand after taking a look at her.

Leah went pale. She was sure she had found Han, but he looked at her like she was a stranger.

The next thing that came out of Han’s mouth confirmed her suspicion. “Who are you?”

“What’s the matter?” Roman was pleased to see Han was alive. However, he realized something was not quite right when he saw Han ignoring them.

He looks like he has amnesia…

Roman looked at Shawn. Could Han have hurt his head and lost his memory too, like Shawn?

However, Han’s situation seemed less severe than Shawn’s.

Leah thought the same too. “I’m Sarah White. We went to Dawnville together for work. Do you remember it?” Leah frowned gently.

Han looked at Leah in confusion.

He still gave out an authoritative aura even when he lost his memory.

“No,” said Han flatly.

“That’s fine. I’ll bring you back and see a doctor. You’ll get well in no time,” said Leah as she grabbed Han’s hand.

However, Leah’s hand was blocked by another hand.

It was the woman who talked to Han.

The woman looked at Leah warily. “Back to where? This is his home. Also, his name is Lee, and he is not the man you are looking for.”

Leah narrowed her eyes.

Why does this woman stopping me from bringing Han home?

What if his head injury is too severe to recover his memory?

“His name is Han Howard, the CEO of the Howard Group. Do you know how much loss the company is suffering if you keep him here?” said Leah coldly.

The woman paled.

After a while, she moved her lips. “Stop bluffing. Lee will not go with you.” Unfortunately, her sound did not sound convincing.

She turned and looked at Han. “Am I right, Lee?” she asked hesitantly.

Han shifted his gaze from Leah and stopped at the woman.

Leah thought she felt that the gaze Han gave to the woman was gentler.

Han finally nodded after a while.

Leah’s expression became even harder.

She did not know what happened after Han lost his memory. She also could not understand how the woman got Han’s affection.

Han turned and looked at Leah. “Please go. I will not leave with you.”

“Why?” Leah could not understand.

Han looked at her coldly. “None of your business.”

Then, he left with the woman.

Leah wanted to chase after Han, but Roman grabbed her arm and shook his head. “It will not help with the situation even if you chase him. It will only make him hate you. I think we better ask others about what had happened.”

Leah agreed with Roman. She was too impatient.

She sighed and nodded.

Three of them followed the cement road on their way back. As they were walking, a woman, who was cracking pumpkin seeds, suddenly appeared.

She was wearing a blue dress with long braided dark hair. “Are you the one who came to look for the man who came to our village a few days ago?” she asked Leah.

Leah and Roman looked at each other.

“Yes, Ma’am.” Roman nodded with a smile. “Can you tell us more about it?”

Roman’s smile could melt an iceberg. The woman was immediately captured by his charm.

She threw the pumpkin seeds shells on the floor and spat. “I was very sure the man must be someone affluent and important. Someone would come and look for him eventually. However, Maria wouldn’t call the police yet. Instead, she insisted on keeping him by her side, saying she might be able to get some rewards later.”

“Maria?” Leah asked.

The woman nodded. “Yes, Maria Adkins, the woman you saw just now. She is my sister-in-law. I remember she saved the man from the sea two days ago.”

The woman in a blue dress was Maria’s brother’s wife.

They finally found some clues.

“Ma’am, do you know what happened?” Leah quickly asked.

“Err…” The woman hesitated.

Leah took out five hundred dollars from her purse and put it in the woman’s hand. “Is this enough?”

The woman’s eyes lit up. I knew it! She is rich!

“Yes. Yes.” She quickly thanked Leah.

Then, she brought the three of them to some wooden chairs under a tree and sat down. “Two days ago, Maria brought home the man she saved from the sea and took care of him the whole night. She fed him a lot of medicine, making her brother angry,” said the woman.

“In the middle of the night, the man started to have a fever. Then, he started to moan something that sounded like ‘Lee’. So, Maria thought that was his name and called him Lee,” the woman recalled as she was munching on the pumpkin seeds.

“I discussed it with my husband. We thought that the man looked like a wealthy man. His family might reward us if we send him to the police station. However, that bitch fell in love with him, and she refused to send him away. Her brother had no choice but warned her that the man might leave after he was awake.”

“Well, the man is now awake, but he seems to have lost his memory. So we couldn’t get any information out of him.”

Chapter 183

Leah thought that even if Han was unwilling to leave a normal person would want to recover their lost memories.

As long as Han could tell Leah what he remembered, she might be able to successfully remind him about his past.

However, after listening to her words, Han lowered his eyes and said gently, “I’m not interested.”

After he was finished with his sentence, he got up and walked into the house with the cut bamboo strips in his arms.

Leah froze.

Why did she feel that Han was not interested in knowing what happened in the past at all?

Was she delusional?

“That’s alright.” Leah got up quickly and followed Han. “I’ll help you remember it if you don’t.” Said Leah as she watched Han place the bamboo strips.

Han halted.

He glanced at Leah, then frowned.

“Lee.” At that moment, Maria came over and tugged at Han’s sleeve.

Han shifted his attention toward Maria and said gently, “What’s the matter?”

Maria said shyly, “My brother told me to head to the mountain to harvest some vegetables. Can you come with me?”

The Adkins family had a decent background and they rarely go to the mountain to harvest vegetables.

The vegetables harvested in the wild tasted good. The villagers of Dragon Village often have them as appetizers.

Kingsley suggested the idea to isolate Leah and Han.

She thought that an elegant lady like Leah would never head to the mountains.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Maria was done talking, Leah nodded and said, “Then I’ll come with you.”

Maria’s eyes widened in an instant and her face was written with rejection. “But the mountain path is difficult to walk. I think you should stay here and wait for us to come back.”

“It’s fine, we’ll all go in separate ways. Don’t worry about me.” Leah shook her head.

Maria could not find any other excuse to reject her since Leah had already insisted on going.

However, Han remained silent and picked up the basket then walked outside.

“I’ll go too!” Shawn tugged onto Leah as his expression got gloomier.

The four of them went to the mountains.

Nobody said anything along the way.

Maria was incredibly shy while Han did not like to speak. On the other hand, Leah was thinking about how she was going to break the awkward silence and Shawn was glaring at Han with disgust.

The path leading to the mountain was treacherous.

Dragon Village was located near the ocean and the land was muddy. Leah’s shoes were covered in mud as they only walked halfway.

Leah’s pace slowed down.

On the other hand. Han was walking steadily as if he was walking on flat ground. He and Maria were used to walking on mountain paths, so they were quite a distance away from Leah.

As soon as Leah looked up, she saw Han and Maria walking side by side.

She suddenly thought of that time when Han went all over the place just to find her in the mountains. He must have felt more desperate than Leah when she was trapped in the landslide.

He had always been brave.

Leah sighed.

At that moment, Shawn took her hand and smiled at her. “I’ll help you out, Leah.”

Leah furrowed her eyebrows. She always felt some kind of barrier between her and Shawn.

She shook his hand off and said, “There’s no need, I can do it.”

As soon as she said it, Leah twisted her foot and fell to the ground.

Her ankle was swollen.

Leah wanted to cry but she could not.

Did she lose track of him?

She looked at Han’s back as he was getting further away from her. She then sighed heavily.

Han and Maria found a place to harvest some vegetables. That was the first time he was doing something like this. He harvested a whole basket of vegetables despite not being familiar with them.

Han looked behind him.

However, the lady following behind them was nowhere to be seen.

“They don’t seem to be following us. That lady seemed pretty fragile.” Maria pouted and walked toward Han.

Han stepped back subconsciously.

Maria’s eyes darkened upon seeing this.

After a pause, she continued to smile and asked Han. “What kind of relationship do you think they have, Lee?”

Han placed the vegetables in his basket and ignored her.

Maria said that to him on purpose. “That man sticks to no one but her. I wouldn’t believe that the both of them have nothing to do with each other even if I were a fool.”

Han carried the basket on his back and got up. “Let’s go back.”

“Wait for me, Lee. I can’t walk anymore.” Maria shouted behind him.

Han said to her expressionlessly, “It’s getting late, can you hurry up?”

“Then would you hold my hands?” Maria looked at him expectantly.

Han looked at his own hands and said, “My hands are dirty.”

Maria shook her head. “I don’t mind.”

Han continued walking back as if he did not hear what she said.

Maria felt embarrassed, so she did not continue to ask.

After the both of them walked for a while, they ran into Shawn and Leah.

Leah was sitting beside a giant rock rubbing her ankle as Shawn squatted beside her and said anxiously, “I’ll carry you back, Leah.”

“There’s no need.” Leah shook her head as she rejected Shawn’s help instinctively,

Han passed by and saw what was happening.

Han had no idea why Shawn was always hostile towards him as he always felt uncomfortable when he was with Shawn.

“Han!” Leah called out to him when she saw them heading back.

Han halted but he did not look back.

Leah felt a little depressed and said, “I twisted my ankle, can you carry me downhill?”

It was not that he had not carried her before. She thought that if he carried her again, it might trigger some of his memories.

“No.” Han refused her without hesitation.

Maria was jealous at first, but she could not help but feel a little relieved when she heard Han rejecting Leah.

Leah was not a coquettish person and did not like to cause trouble for anyone.

Since Han refused to help her, she could not find any more excuses.

The atmosphere grew thick.

Han paused for two seconds and continued his way down the mountain.

Leah stared at his back and sighed helplessly.

However, she was not entirely sad as she did not have high hopes for Han in the first place.

Chapter 184

Maria raised her head after hearing him talk. Meanwhile, Han was absorbed in what he was doing instead of paying attention to Leah and the others.

The smile on Maria’s face vanished instantly as soon as her eyes met Leah’s.

Why was she here?

Maria felt a little self-conscious as she was undoubtedly inferior to Leah. Maria’s facial features were not as defined as Leah’s. Maria was probably not as valuable as the necklace that Leah wore.

The beauty and grace Leah radiated were something that Maria would never master in her life.

Maria bit her lip and moved closer to Han subconsciously.

She could only try her best to secure this man’s heart since she could not beat Leah in any other aspect.

Anne did not notice how Maria was feeling at all.

She then smiled and let Leah and the others inside, as if welcoming a VIP.

Anne said to Kingsley, “These are Lee’s friends. They’re staying with us for a few days until he’s willing to leave.”

As soon as he heard those words, he glanced at Maria and dragged Anne aside.

He whispered to her, “Are you insane? Don’t you know how much Maria likes Lee? Moreover, you’re making them take him away from her?”

Anne rolled her eyes at him and replied, “Both of you are insane. He has a high status. How can you expect someone like him to live in our village for the rest of his life? Both you and your sister are

delusional. Everyone’s at the door waiting for him. Are you still trying to hide the truth?”

Kingsley felt a little shameful after hearing what his wife had to say.

He glanced at Leah and sighed. He answered, “You brought all of them here, and… we didn’t have enough time to prepare.”

“What is there to prepare? Lee will have to go with them as soon as he recovers his memory. Besides, they promised us a lot of money as an appreciation.”

Anne took out the 15 thousand dollars Leah had given her and continued, “Look, she just gave me 15 thousand dollars after speaking with me. We’ll be getting more money if we send her back safely.”

Kingsley’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money.

He was finally convinced by Anne.

However, he thought about his little sister who was infatuated with him and got a little hesitant. “Then what about Maria?”

“Maria doesn’t want him to go because he was nice to her, but in fact, he doesn’t like her back at all. He’ll dump Maria once he regains his memory. Don’t worry, she’ll just be sad after a couple of days. She’ll be fine after that.” Anne reassured Kingsley.

Kingsley did not know much about relationships because he was a man.

He liked money.

He felt a little better after hearing Anne’s words.

Kingsley walked over and smiled awkwardly. “Well then, welcome. Stay as long as you wish. Just let us know if you need anything.”

Leah nodded. Then, her eyes fell on Han.

Han was weaving a basket. He was incredibly focused and his long eyelashes shaded his eyes.

Maria squatted next to him, fascinated by his work.

Leah smiled gently and walked toward Han, then asked, “When did you learn how to do this?”

Han heard her voice and looked up at her.

A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. “You again?”

“Yep. I’ll stay with you instead since you don’t want to leave.” Leah placed a stool and sat beside him.

Shawn’s eyes darkened. He pouted and followed her.

There were four people in the room at that instant.

Han looked at Leah and said seriously, “I won’t leave. I’m not changing my mind no matter what you say.”

After losing his memories, Han did not seem to be as difficult to get along with as she imagined.

Leah grinned.

However, he did not know that Leah gave him a familiar feeling.

She felt so familiar that he could have a deep conversation with her at any time.

“Yeah, I know,” Leah said with a smile. She held her head with her hands. “I’m not urging you to leave. I’m just staying with you for a while.”

“Okay.” Han replied. Then, he lowered his eyes and said, “Knock yourselves out.”

Leah was not surprised by his attitude.

She continued, “You haven’t answered my question. When did you learn to make this?”

Han cut the bamboo strips into thin strips and then replied, “I saw him doing it the day before yesterday and I learned how to do so on my own.”

Han answered as he pointed at Kingsley.

Leah gave him a sincere smile. “You’re amazing.”

Han sliced the bamboo strips and frowned.

Kingsley heard their conversation and felt alarmed.

It should not be like this.

There were a couple of ladies approaching Han for the past two days. However, he treated them coldly and would not even bat an eye at them.

This made her feel proud.

However, it was different now.

Han answered this lady nicely.

Maria clenched her hands tightly and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

She could not drive her away now since her sister-in-law had brought them in.

What was she going to do?

At the same time, Shawn was not happy about this as well.

He was furious!

Ever since Leah met Han, she could not take her eyes off him.

Shawn felt disgusted as soon as he saw Han.

It felt like he hated that man instinctively.

Now that this man wanted to snatch Leah away from him, he despised him even more.

Han cut the bamboo strips as Leah sat next to him and watched him the whole afternoon.

She was thinking about how to restore Han’s memory.

“Han.” Leah called out his name.

Han did not respond. It was as if it was not his name at all.

Leah sighed. She then continued, “Lee.”

Han looked up at her.

“Have you forgotten about everything? What else do you remember?”

Han frowned at her. “Why are you asking me this?”

Leah replied, ” You can’t just carry on with your life without knowing what happened even if you don’t wanna leave this place, right?”

Chapter 185

Leah could tell the woman hated her sister-in-law very much from the rude name she called Maria.

“But why does the man seem to trust Maria a lot?” asked Leah.

The woman threw the pumpkin seed shells in her hand onto the floor and rolled her eyes. “How would I know? The man kept holding Maria’s hand after he woke up. He looked at her like she was his lover, but he couldn’t tell what her name was if someone asked.”

Suddenly, the woman got closer to Leah. “My husband said the man must have mistaken Maria for someone else. That’s why he trusts Maria. Haha… That dumb bitch thought she found her prince charming. Doesn’t she know what she looks like? No handsome man would like her!”

Leah frowned.

Han mistaken Maria for someone else?

She tried to recall Maria’s face. It was indeed an ordinary face.

However, her eyes were bright, almost like Leah’s…

Suddenly, Leah’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.

“Are you the man’s family? Are you his girlfriend?” The woman tried to dig more information from Leah, hoping to find something amusing.

Leah shook her head. “No, I’m his assistant.”

“That man has an assistant?” The woman’s eyes lit up.

Not everyone has an assistant, let alone a beautiful assistant like her. This man must be very rich.

The woman suddenly realized she had found a way to be rich.

“Are you here to bring him back? Look, we have taken great care of him. Do you know how weak he was when we rescued him from the sea? He was covered in wounds. He would have died if we did not save his life!” said the woman.

Leah knew the woman’s intention.

So, she nodded. “Don’t worry. We’ll thank you with rewards. However, we have a problem. He doesn’t want to leave with us. Can you ask Maria to talk to him?”

“Err…” The woman hesitated. “I want to help you, but Maria is a stubborn woman. She even threatened us with her life to keep that man by her side. Of course, I want your reward, but I really can’t force Maria. I would be in trouble too if anything happened to her.”

Leah’s eyes went dull.

“Alright.” She sighed.

Leah had to find the solution herself.

“Mr. Howard will definitely leave with you once his memory is recovered,” Roman comforted Leah after he saw despair in Leah’s eyes.

“You are right, but what should we do to recover his memory? Unfortunately, there’s no specialist doctor here.” Leah frowned. Sadness filled her eyes.

Suddenly, the woman’s eyes lit up. “I know a way. The man kept moaning a name that sounded like ‘Lee’. If we can find that person to help him remember things from the past, his memory will recover.”

Leah narrowed her eyes.

If Leah did not make a mistake, she was the person Han called when he was unconscious.

Leah was her name before she had plastic surgery. However, she can’t reconstruct her face to help Han regain his memory.

Leah would try anything, even If there was only a tiny glimpse of hope.

After making up her mind, Leah’s eyes flashed with determination.

She nodded. “I’ve decided. Can I stay at your place for a few days? Don’t worry. I’ll pay you a reward on top of all the expenses,” said Leah to the woman.

The woman’s eye sparkled with greed when she heard about the reward.

No one would decline a reward.

She quickly agreed. “Of course! You can even stay here forever!”

Roman frowned when he heard Leah’s words. “Are you sure? Perhaps we can discuss this with someone from the company first.”

Leah shook her head in all seriousness. “Mr. Walker, please keep this a secret. I worry someone might take advantage of Han’s condition and harm the company.”

Of course, Roman knew more about lies and tricks in the business world.

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep it a secret.” He promised.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Walker. I’ll stay here at the Dragon Village for a few days and try to recover Han’s memory. If I failed, I might need you to send someone to bring him back by force.” Leah sighed.

Using force would be their last resort.

“Sure,” Roman agreed. Then, he glanced at Shawn. “How about him? What are you going to do with him?”

Shawn saw Roman was looking at himself. He quickly grabbed onto Leah’s arm and would not let go. “I’m not leaving you, Sarah!”

Leah felt so helpless.

Shawn was trouble. After consideration, Leah decided to keep the trouble by her side to keep an eye on it.

“It’s fine. Let him stay with me,” said Leah.

Shawn immediately bloomed with smiles. “Sarah, you are so nice to me!”

Roman did not say much since Leah had made her mind. He still had much work to do at the office.

Then, Roman drove back to the city.

After Roman left, Leah took out another one thousand dollars. “Please bring me to your place,” she told the woman.

“Of course, of course,” said the woman eagerly. “How may I address you?”

“My name is Sarah White,” said Leah.

“Ms. White, please call me Anne,” said the woman.

“Sure,” said Leah flatly.

Leah did not worry Anne might plot something against her. After all, she was with Shawn. Even if Shawn proved to be useless, Leah believed Han would not turn a blind eye to her.

Anne brought Leah and Shawn to a three stories brick house.

There were two men and a woman in the garden. The two men were weaving baskets with bamboo strips while the woman sat beside them and looked at them in admiration.

More precisely, she was looking at Han.

“Honey, I’m back.” Anne brought Leah and Shawn into the garden.

One of the men looked up. He froze when he saw Leah and Shawn. “Who are they?” he asked.
