Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 230

Serena scanned their surroundings, and she felt more reassured when she spotted the security guards standing not too far away. "I'm warning you. We're at a public space right now."

There was a flash of cold light in Han's eyes. He kept his gaze on Leah nonetheless. "Come here."

"Let's just leave."

Leah decided to ignore him. She clutched Serena by the wrist and headed in the direction of the consultation room.

Strangely. Han did not lose his temper. Instead, he moved to stand in their path. Then, he picked up Leah and earned her in his arms.

"Put me down!"

Leah exclaimed in exasperation. She felt so angry and embarrassed she started hitting Han on his shoulder hard.

Han merely replied coolly. "The doctor said that pregnant mothers shouldn't lose their temper often."

On the other hand, Serena was forced to stay behind as Han's bodyguards held her back.

The pair caught a lot of attention as Han made his way to the consultation room with Leah in his arms. The other pregnant ladies were all looking at them with envy. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Eventually. Han carefully placed Leah on a chair outside the consultation room. Then, he stood beside her quietly.

Leah had reached the limit of her patience by then. She asked in a raised voice, "What on earth is it that you want from me?"

Han replied earnestly, "I just want to accompany you on your checkups."

It was my fault for what happened in the past. This time. I want to make it up to her. and I want to be there for the child as it grows up.

Leah refused adamantly. "That's unnecessary."

Just then, she heard the nurse calling out her number. She got up and walked past Han without sparing him another glance. After entering the consultation room, she even closed the door behind her and locked it.

Half an hour later, Leah exited the room.

Han went up to her and placed liis jacket over her shoulders. Then, he put his arm around her shoulders. "I'll send you home."

Leah gave a frigid response. "No. My friend is waiting for me downstairs."

"She left earlier."

Twenty minutes ago. Han's bodyguards had escorted Serena back to the White's residence.

When he saw that Leah had stubbornly refused to move. Han smiled languidly. Then, he said in a voice that was audible only to both of them, "What about the two hundred million dollars?"

In the end, Leah got into Han's car despite her wishes.

A familiar song was playing in the car. and Leah soon noticed that it was her favorite song. Moreover. Han even helped her adjust the seat and lowered the temperature in the car before she entered the

car.

Leah did not try to hide the mocking look in her eyes.

What's the point of all this when it's already too late now?

Things might not have turned out like this for us if he had shown me a bit of kindness back then.

Leah placed her hands over her belly and closed her eyes. She was evidently not in the mood to talk.

Han drove the car slowly, occasionally stealing glances at the woman sitting beside him.

"Is it fun for you to ogle at others?"

Leah could almost feel his gaze bore into her. She opened her eyes and snapped at him.

Han remained silent as he stared straight ahead.

Eventually, they arrived outside the White's residence. Leah quickly opened the car door to get out. However. Han grabbed her wrist before she could move.

Leah could feel anger rising inside her. She tried to pull her hand free, but the grip around her wrist tightened even more. "Let go!"

Han looked at her with an intense gaze. "No one could come between us anymore."

Leah knew that he was referring to the Lamere family.

She couldn't help herself from scoffing at him.

The issue between us was never about the Lamere family.

It's the fact that Han had never had any feelings for me.

"I'm sony for what happened in the past."

Upon hearing that, Leah turned her gaze toward Han and noticed the earnest look in his eyes.

He's sincerely apologizing to me for his past mistakes.

Leah tried to ignore her quickened heartbeat. Then, she said in an unfeeling voice, "It's all in the past now. You don't have to apologize to me, Mr. Howard."

Han clutched her hands tightly. "Just give me some time. Once I've taken care of everything, we can leave this place and start over. We can go anywhere you want..."

Even though Jackson has got away for now. I'm sure my men will be able to hunt him down soon.

Leah looked at Han with barely veiled disdain.

"Han. you're getting way ahead of yourself."

Both of them did not notice Kennedy and George who were standing in the front yard.

"I knew the lady was a fox. She’s already looking for a backup plan when our boss is still in the hospital."

George shot Kennedy a warning look. "Our job is to follow the boss's orders regardless of the choice he makes."

Then, he strode toward the car and knocked on the window. "Ms. White."

When Han was briefly distracted, Leah swiftly twisted her hand out of Han's grip and exited the car.

Han got out of the car as well, and he fixed George with a threatening glare.

"Let's head in." Leah tugged at the hem of George's sleeve.

Both of them have fiery tempers. However, I can’t watch George get on Han's wrong side.

When Leah returned to her room, she received a call from Serena.

"Does Han think that he can do whatever he wants because of his good looks? Isn't that just too much?" Serena ranted furiously on the line.

Leah could almost see that handsome face and deep-set eyes before her again.

"I'm tired, so I'll hang up now. Don't stay out until midnight," Leah replied half-heartedly. Then, she ended the call.

After that, she lay on her bed and dozed off.

When she woke up sometime later. Leah saw that it was already dark outside.

She walked out of her room and noticed that the room next door was dark as well.

She shook her head slightly. I guess Serena is not coming back tonight.

She headed downstairs and found that the living room was quiet and deserted. However, the lights in the garden were tinned on.

She walked into the kitchen to look for something to eat. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a phone ringing.

She glanced around and noticed that the sound was coming from the garden.

Did a thief sneak in?

Leah grabbed a knife from the kitchen counter. Then, she treaded quietly and cautiously toward where the sound came from.

At a distance, she heard the voice of a man.

"I've had enough of him since a while back."

Leah hid behind a tree with a trunk broad enough to conceal her.

"We've known each other for so long, yet you still w'ant me to do something to prove that I'm serious about this?" Kennedy replied impatiently.

Leah breathed a sigh of relief. It's just Kennedy speaking on the phone.

She did not w'ant to eavesdrop on the conversation, so she turned around and slowly moved away.

"Ron is in the hospital, and he's still unconscious. His position is left empty now'."

Leah halted in her tracks upon hearing Ron's name.

"With him gone. I pretty much have complete control over his turf."

"What?! You want me to sneak into the hospital and kill him?"

Leah could hear the shock in Kennedy's voice.

Leah covered her mouth in honor. She strained every nerve to move as silently as possible tow'ard the house.

Just then, a fallen branch on the ground snapped with a crunch underneath Leah's foot.
