Ch. 306..310: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 306-310

Chapter 306 Uninvited Guest

After thinking about it, Lucy nodded. She did not want Leah to leave the Ford family and did not wish Carlotta to lose her father.

"Mr. Shawn, I'll report everything about Ms. White to you."

"Great."

Tom was about to drive Lucy back, but Lucy asked him to send her to the mall. She moved to a new house with Leah, and they still needed to arrange many things. That was why Lucy came out in the afternoon. She originally planned to go shopping.

"No need. Mr. Shawn is ready for the things."

While speaking, Tom opened the trunk door. Lucy saw all kinds of furniture and appliances fill the trunk.

Those were all prepared by Shawn after knowing that Leah wanted to move. The brands of those home appliances and furniture were the ones Leah liked to use.

"Mr. Shawn is so caring."

Lucy was a little moved. At first, she doubted the relationship between Shawn and Leah. But it seemed that they only quarreled. When Leah calmed down, she would persuade Leah to go back.

After all, there were very few rich, handsome, and dedicated men like Shawn in Linkville.

Tom sent Lucy to Wisteria Court. After carrying the appliances and furniture to the stairs, he left.

"Why did you buy so many things?"

Leah looked at the appliances and furniture at the door and frowned.

Lucy averted Leah's gaze guiltily. "These are all you like to use. These are your favorite brand. I bought them after I saw them in the mall. You won't be angry, will you?"

As she spoke, she observed the changes in Leah's expression.

She only saw Leah's face darkened, and Leah did not seem happy.

Leah did know these brands. The sofa of Luwail brand at the door was worth hundreds of thousands, which she could not afford. Only Shawn would prepare these things for her. No one else would do that.

"Did these things come from Shawn?"

Lucy scratched her hair in embarrassment after Leah exposed her lie. She did not expect Leah to know the truth at a glance.

"Ms. White, these things..."

Without Leah's consent, Lucy dared not to move these things into the house.

"Leave them alone."

Leah turned around and picked up the phone. She immediately dialed Shawn's number.

Leah connected the call as soon as she dialed as if Shawn had been waiting for the call.

"What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable in your new home?" Shawn's hoarse voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

Leah paused, then continued, "I'm fine. Please find someone to take back the home appliances and furniture. I don't need them."

"Just take them as housewarming gifts for you. Those are the gifts from me as a friend."

Shawn felt frustrated as he needed an excuse to give Leah something, but he restrained the resentment in his heart.

Leah looked back at the things at the door. These housewarming gifts are too expensive!

"They are too expensive. I don't need them."

"You worth them. If you don't like them, just throw them away. You can treat me to dinner another day."

Shawn did not give Leah a chance to refuse and hung up the phone quickly.

Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Leah shook her head helplessly. She put away

her phone and started to move things into the house.

On the other side, Han received the news that Leah had moved from the Ford family's villa. Looking at the address on the phone screen, he smiled. He thought Leah would contact him, but he did not expect she would use this method to fight against him.

Han picked up the car keys and walked downstairs. As soon as he reached the door, Anna stopped him.

"Where you go?"

"Go to company."

After saying that, Han got into the car and left the villa.

Ding dong! Ding dong!

Leah wondered who was coming. She directly opened the door.

When Leah saw the tall and familiar figure outside the door, she quickly walked out of the house and closed the door. Her expression turned cold, and she asked Han, "What are you doing here?"

Han raised his eyebrows. "Come to see my daughter. Don't you welcome me?"

Leah replied without thinking, "I don't welcome you. I've left Shawn according to your request. Can you give me the contact information of that medical team?"

Leah moved out of the Ford family's villa not only because she knew Shawn was not Carlotta's biological father but also because of the contact information of the medical team. That medical team might save Carlotta.

Han stared at Leah and touched her face with a complicated gaze. "It's not enough."

Leah took half a step back to avoid his touch. Her face was full of the guard.

"This is my biggest concession! Han, don't forget that Carlotta is also your daughter!"

Leah used to think she would never have any entanglements with Han, but she never thought God made a joke with her again. Fate bounded them together again and made them inseparable.

Suddenly, the elevator door opened, and Anna came out in a tight black dress. She smiled and looked at the two people at the door. She was admiring the astonishment on Leah's face.

"What's wrong? Are you two surprised to see me? Ethan, you're walking so fast! I can't keep up with you." Anna smiled and hugged Han's arm.

After Han left the villa, she secretly ordered the chauffeur to follow behind. As she thought, Han did not go to the company but came here instead.

Anna looked at Leah, and the anger in her eyes was fleeting.

Han pulled his arm away, and his expression darkened. Anna crossed the line again. How dared she follow me?

Anna smiled and looked at Leah. "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Leah instantly came back to her senses. It was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Leah did not know why but felt a little guilty. She coughed lightly and turned her gaze away. After thinking for a while, she invited them to enter the house.

Looking at Han and Anna, who suddenly appeared in the house, Lucy looked at Leah doubtfully.

Leah forced herself to smile. Then, she asked Han and Anna, "Want something to drink?"

Anna sat on the sofa familiarly and pulled Han to sit down too. "Whatever. Ethan too."

Anna looked around at the surrounding decoration and furnishings, and her eyes shone with surprise. "Ms. White, did you design this place yourself?"

"Yes."

Leah designed every brick and tile of Wisteria Court.

"I didn't expect you to know jewelry design and interior design. You are excellent!" Anna was not stingy with her compliments, and the smile on her face became brighter. She did not look unhappy at all.

Leah murmured in her heart.

According to the relationship between Anna and Han, why didn't Anna get angry in the situation just now? How did Anna know that I used to be a jewelry designer?

Then, Anna asked, "Ms. White, can I ask you to design my villa?"

Chapter 307 Carlotta Is My Daughter

Han frowned when hearing that but soon returned to his indifferent look. He knew that something might have been out of his control.

Leah already had her plan. Moreover, she resisted Anna in her heart, so she rejected Anna without thinking about it.

"I still have to take care of my child. I'm afraid I won't be free, and I'm only an amateur."

Leah had never been in touch with interior design. She arranged everything in the room that way because she liked it. That was not a professional design at all.

Anna seemed to expect that Leah would refuse. She continued, "But I think you are better than some professional designers."

Leah was a little embarrassed by the compliments. "Linkville has many good interior designers. If you don't mind, I can introduce one to you."

Anna smiled brightly and said softly, "The best interior designer may not suit me. What I want is what I like and suits me."

Before Leah could react, Anna took her arm affectionately. "It's fine. I'll leave it to you. I'll give you a generous design fee."

Most people would not hit a kind and polite person, and Leah was the same.

For a moment, Leah did not know what to do. Her rejection had stuck in her throat. She could not say anything.

Leah looked at Han to ask for help and wanted him to take the initiative to refuse.

However, Han answered, "Anna's proposal is good. Ms. White, we know each other well. You must know my preferences."

Leah's eyes widened in astonishment. If Anna had not been here, she would have asked Han what he meant.

The smile on Anna's face gradually faded, and the hands behind her back tightened.

Anna suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled. "Yes, you've been friends with Ethan for so many years. I'll leave the design to you."

Leah sighed helplessly. She decided to promise Anna first. Then, she would find a chance to refuse Han later.

When Han and Anna left Wisteria Court, it was already night.

In the elevator, Han looked gloomy and glared at Anna with displeasure.

"You followed me." Han was very sure. If Anna had not followed him, she would not be able to come to Leah's new house.

Anna smiled and hugged Han's arm. "Yes! You are my nominal fiancé, so I should know where you've gone. After all, we're bound together for good or ill. Doesn't it?"

Han did not speak. He left the elevator and got into the car at the exit.

Before Anna got into the car, he told the chauffeur to drive away. Anna looked at the car leaving and stomped her feet angrily.

"Han Howard, I'll make you regret it one day!"

After resting for nearly a week, Leah adjusted her mentality and began to think about what she should do next instead of staying at home with Carlotta every day.

Leah took out her mobile phone and was about to call Serena when the doorbell rang.

"Why are you here?"

Han did not say a word but strode into the house.

Leah pointed at the door and shouted coldly, "I don't welcome you! Get out!"

Han threw the card he brought on the table, and his magnetic voice sounded, "This is the design fee. Anna hopes to see the design draft as soon as possible."

Leah looked at him in surprise. She felt troubled if Han wanted to talk about business.

In the past few days, she deliberately did not contact or reply to Anna on Instagram. She wanted to weaken her existence and make them forget about interior design.

Unexpectedly, Han took the initiative to come to her.

Han knew Leah wanted to refuse, so he blocked her chance to speak, "Fulfill what you've promised. If you refuse, you'll make Anna look down on you."

Leah was speechless. Looking at the bank card on the table, she felt upset.

She withdrew her gaze. "You can find another designer with a similar style to replace me. It doesn't have to be me."

If I design for Anna, I'll have endless things to entangle with Han. I don't want it!

Han replied lightly, "As long as Anna wants, I'll fulfill her wish."

Leah froze. It turned out that it was his reason for asking her to design the villa.

"I hope to see your design draft by this time tomorrow."

Han got up and walked around. Finally, his gaze landed on the children's room.

Looking at Carlotta sitting on the ground playing puzzles, he stepped in uncontrollably.

"What are you doing?"

Han's eyes were gentle, and his voice was not as cold as usual, as he feared scaring Carlotta.

Lucy looked at Han warily and subconsciously held Carlotta in her arms.

Perhaps because blood was thicker than water, Carlotta did not fear Han and explained childishly, "I'm playing puzzles."

Han crouched down, picked up the puzzle pieces on the ground, and handed it to Carlotta.

Carlotta smiled and thanked him, "Thank you."

Han reached out and stroked her soft hair.

Leah had a bad feeling. She subconsciously did not want Han to have much contact with Carlotta. She was most afraid that Han would want Carlotta and take Carlotta away.

Leah could not imagine life without Carlotta.

She looked nervous and shouted at the door, "Come out with me."

Han handed the puzzle pieces to Lucy and left the children's room.

Leah immediately closed the children's room door.

She took a deep breath and said, "I can promise to help you design, and I don't need the money, but I have a request."

Han was startled and showed a complicated expression. Then, he looked at Leah with a fake smile.

"What request?"

"Please don't come to Wisteria Court to find me and get close to Carlotta in the future."

Seeing Han's expression did not change, Leah continued without fear, "You are just Carlotta's biological father. She doesn't know her identity, and I hope she won't know it in the future. You'll have children with Anna in the future, but I only have Carlotta. You can't take her away from me."

For the two years Carlotta was born, Han had been absent as a father.

Han's expression darkened. "You should know why I was absent as a father."

Leah felt apologetic and lowered her head.

She knew that she was the one who made Han lose everything and caused him to go abroad, but she absolutely could not lose Carlotta.

Leah raised her eyes which were full of sincerity. "I can make it up to you."

Han sneered. "Make it up to me? How would you make it up to me? By sleeping with me?"

He looked at Leah with his presumptuous eyes unscrupulously.

"Carlotta is my daughter. She can only be named Carlotta Howard!"

Chapter 308 You Owed Me

"No! I won't agree!" Leah gritted her teeth. Her tone was firm and unquestionable.

Carlotta was her daughter. No one could take Carlotta away from her, not even Han.

Han did not hurry to explain. He turned sideways, approached Leah, and whispered, "If you are willing to be with me, I can consider not taking Carlotta away."

Hearing that, Leah became angry. She pushed Han away and glared at him fiercely. She would not be the third party of a couple.

Han was not angry, and then he showed a smile. "Tell me when you figure it out."

They still had a long future. Han had many chances with Leah.

The next day, Anna received a design draft from Leah. She looked at it on the computer screen, and her light blue eyes were full of sarcasm. She directly deleted the email.

"Ms. White, I've read your design draft. I like it very much, but I need to confirm some details. Are you free? I want to meet and talk with you in person."

On the other end of the phone, Leah was startled. After returning to her senses, she made an appointment with Anna.

Now Leah wanted to end this deal as soon as possible so that she could stay away from Han.

In the private room of the coffee shop, Anna smiled and talked about her requests.

Leah, who was opposite Anna, listened carefully and took notes. As she had decided to design the villa, she must do her best.

"That's it." Anna drank her coffee and glanced at Leah.

Anna made those requests on purpose. In fact, she did not read the design draft that Leah sent to her thoroughly. Anna just wanted to make Leah lose her temper.

Leah closed the notebook. "Okay, I'll revise my design draft afterward. I'll ask you to have a look at it then."

There was a hint of surprise in Anna's eyes, and then she controlled her emotions and thanked Leah with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go first. My car is over there."

In the underground parking lot, Leah saw Anna seemed to want to send her home, so Leah stopped and pointed to a red Buick not far away.

Anna followed Leah's gaze. After seeing a car that was neither new nor old, Anna was surprised. According to Leah's current worth, Leah could afford a better car. Anna wondered why Leah still drove such a car.

"Okay." Anna pretended to feel pity and smiled as she watched Leah enter the car.

The moment Leah drove away, the smile on Anna's face disappeared.

After returning home, Leah stayed up all night to revise the design draft to send it to Anna. As soon as she sent it, her phone vibrated.

"I like it very much, but the designs still have problems. I'll ask my chauffeur to pick you up tomorrow. You can come to my villa to have a look."

Leah frowned. Her first reaction was to refuse, but she received a second message from Anna before she could think about the rejection.

"It won't take you long, please!"

Even through the screen, Leah could feel Anna's sincerity.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she decided to agree. "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow morning."

"I'll wait for you!" Anna hung up the phone excitedly.

When Leah arrived at the villa, Anna had already arranged everything. She deliberately placed the photo of her and Han in the most obvious place so that Leah could see it as soon as she entered the living room.

Anna pulled Leah affectionately, turned around, and told the maid. "Go prepare tea."

Leah felt upset when she saw the photo. She saw Anna and Han smiling happily, and happiness seemed to overflow from the photo frame.

Leah felt bitter in her heart. It turns out that Han and Anna have a good relationship.

Anna saw all of Leah's reactions. She acted calmly and began to introduce her villa. "How is it? Is it better to design after seeing it?"

Leah retracted her gaze and nodded absently.

"Let's go! I'll take you upstairs to have a look." Anna took Leah upstairs.

The master bedroom's door on the second floor was ajar. Anna opened the door and entered. But when she saw the torn clothes on the ground, her face flushed rapidly, and she blocked Leah's sight with her body in embarrassment.

Leah's body was stiff. She stared at the torn clothes on the ground and forgot to look away.

Everything in this villa displayed the relationship between Han and Anna, while Leah was the outsider in this villa.

Before Leah could look away, Anna shyly pushed Leah out of the room.

"I didn't know the maid hadn't cleaned the room yet. I'm sorry."

Leah's voice was a little hoarse. "It's fine."

Leah left the villa after roughly visiting all the rooms.

She rejected Anna's proposal to send her home and walked along the road in the villa area. The scenes she saw in the villa just now emerged in her mind one after another.

Leah wanted to cry, but she told herself to bear it.

As she lowered her head, she did not notice a black car flashing past her.

After Han saw the familiar figure, he asked the chauffeur to reverse the car. Through the window, he saw the sad Leah.

Han rolled down the car window and asked, "Why are you here?"

Leah wiped away the tears that were about to fall and showed a forced smile. "To fulfill my promise."

She would design the villa and hoped Han not take Carlotta away.

Han looked Leah up and down and finally stared at her thin coat. Why does she wear so few when she goes out?

He said lightly, "Get in the car."

Leah refused without thinking. "No, thank you. My car is outside the villa area."

Lakeside Villa One was in a well-known wealthy area in Linkville, so she could only park her ordinary car outside.

Han frowned, and his voice was piercingly cold. "I don't want to say a second time."

Leah glanced around. When she found no one around, she quickly opened the door and entered the car.

After getting in the car, she kept a distance from Han. Seeing that, Han raised his eyebrows and leaned closer to Leah on purpose.

Leah reached out and pushed him away. "What are you doing!"

Thinking of what Han had done with Anna, Leah felt disgusted. D*mn it! How did Han manage to molest two women at the same time?

Leah reminded again, "Stay away from me."

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the ring on Han's ring finger. She felt frustrated. She knew she had never been Han's choice.

"You don't have the right to say that."

Han looked indifferent. Does Leah hate me so much? She felt disgusted that she couldn't even bear me approaching her!

"Leah, you have to remember that you owe me forever. You'll never pay it off in this life!"

His heartless words filled the car, which reminded Leah again how much he hated her.

Chapter 309 Can You Leave Him?

Leah looked at Han anxiously. It turned out that he had always thought about her that way and had always hated her so much.

As if making a promise, she seemed to say to herself with a low but firm voice, "I'm sorry. I'll find a way to make it up to you."

Without knowing whether Han heard it, Leah quickly lowered her head.

Han could sense Leah's poor complexion. He was afraid he would feel sorry for her, so he turned his gaze away and looked out the window.

They were not talking anymore, and the atmosphere in the car condensed again.

When the car arrived downstairs in the community, Leah went upstairs after thanking Han.

Seeing that thin figure disappear into his sight, Han withdrew his gaze and told the chauffeur to drive.

Lucy came out with Carlotta in her arms when she heard the door open. Then, she saw Leah sitting on the sofa in a daze.

She looked at Leah worriedly. "Ms. White, what's wrong with you?"

Ms. White looks wrong. Could it be because of the couple who came here two days ago that seemed hostile?

Leah came back to her senses and showed a forced smile. "I'm fine."

The next day, Lucy took the opportunity of grocery shopping to go back to the Ford family's villa. She told Shawn everything about Leah in the past two days without hiding anything.

After Lucy finished speaking, she noticed the cold aura emerging from Shawn.

Mr. Shawn seems in a bad mood. Is it because of what I've said?

Lucy lowered her head timidly and did not know what to do. Is this a betrayal of Ms. White? What should I do?

"Mr. Shawn, Ms. White had a bad attitude towards that man. I've never seen Ms. White being so

fierce to anyone."

Leah had always been calm in the past two years in the Ford family.

Apart from getting angry when encountering Carlotta's matters, she even laughed it off when Shawn had scandals.

Shawn's grip on the wine glass gradually increased, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes.

That's why I'm angry! When Shawn was with Leah, she did not show him any emotion except for Han.

Shawn quickly suppressed his anger and asked Lucy to take the money and send her away.

Lucy refused several times but still accepted the money. Then, she left the Ford family's villa.

At night, Leah received a call from Shawn.

"Are you used to your new home?"

"Yes."

They chatted for a while, and Shawn took advantage of the opportunity to request to see Carlotta.

"I'll see Carlotta tomorrow. I haven't seen her for a few days. I miss her."

On the other end of the phone, Leah paused. She felt a little uneasy for no reason.

After a long time, she answered, "Okay."

After all, Shawn had watched Carlotta grow up. Both of them had a good relationship.

The next day, Shawn told Tom to buy new children's toys and clothes in the mall. After that, they drove to Wisteria Court.

Hearing the knock on the door, Lucy opened the door, and when she saw Shawn, her expression changed.

Does Mr. Shawn want to settle with Ms. White for what happened yesterday?

Just as Lucy was about to ask, Carlotta saw Shawn at the door and ran toward him in surprise.

"Daddy!"

Shawn squatted down. He showed a gentle expression and held Carlotta in his arms.

Hearing what Carlotta called Shawn, Leah frowned. "Carlotta, have you forgotten what I told you?"

Now that Leah knew Carlotta's identity, Carlotta could not recognize Shawn as her father. Leah could not make the same mistakes again and again.

Carlotta flinched in Shawn's arms. She looked at Leah with tears, and her eyes were full of puzzles.

Shawn noticed something strange. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

It had been a few days since he saw Carlotta. He wondered why Carlotta did not close to him.

Meanwhile, Tom put the toys and new clothes at the door.

There was doubt in Leah's eyes. "What are these?"

Shawn answered, "I bought them for Carlotta." Shawn told Tom to bring the things in while playing with Carlotta in his arms to make her laugh.

A two-year-old child would run out of energy fast. After playing for a while, Carlotta yawned. So, Shawn handed her over to Lucy, who took her to take a nap.

In the living room, there were only Leah and Shawn left.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Shawn spoke first to break the dullness in the living room.

Leah deliberately kept a distance from him. "Not yet."

She originally planned to rest and spend time with Carlotta. But she never thought Anna asked her to design the villa.

Now, her plan came to nothing. She could only make a new plan after designing Anna's villa.

Shawn chuckled and said his plan, "I have a good proposal. Why don't you go back to my company? I'll give you the director position of the design department."

Since Leah chose to move out of the Ford family's villa, he had no choice but to respect her.

However, if she was willing to return to the company, he must have a chance to get her to agree with him.

Leah frowned, then refused without thinking. "It doesn't work. Your company hasn't recovered yet. If you give me a design director position, how does that make outsiders think?"

Shawn's complexion was complicated, and his smile suddenly froze.

He thought Leah rejected him not just because of that reason.

"Is it because of Han? You're scared when he comes back? Can't wait to run and stay away from me?" Shawn asked loudly.

These questions had been pressing on his mind for a few days.

Leah was in a daze for a moment but quickly regained her composure.

"It's not what you think. The past is over, and I regard you as a friend, so..."

Before Leah could finish speaking, Shawn got up from the sofa with an unconcealable hostility in his eyes. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. He kept clenching his hands.

"I don't want to be your friend! Didn't you always know that?"

Leah was stunned. She was not a fool.

Leah already understood Shawn's affection for her in the past two years. But his affection was too heavy, so she could not respond. What was more, she already had Han in her heart.

Leah lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry."

Shawn kicked over the side table beside him. "Don't apologize to me!"

The side table fell apart. Hearing the sound, Lucy ran out hurriedly from the room.

Shawn turned his head and said coldly to Lucy, "Go back!"

Leah nodded helplessly at Lucy, then motioned Lucy to close the door.

Leah reminded Shawn, "You'll scare Carlotta."

Shawn squatted down and looked at Leah complicatedly. "I have everything he has. I even can give what he can't give you. Can you leave him?"
