Both of them swiftly packed up to leave before Sunny returned.

Usually, everyone would only wake up after seven o’clock. But this time, Leah and Serena

would be long gone when they woke up. What greeted them was a note from Leah

explaining that she had to leave to attend to some matters.

“Heh, didn’t I tell you before? Folks from this city are an unreliable lot. See? They were just

here for a day and they’ve already scooted off.” said Gracia sarcastically as she crumpled

the note.

Bryan shaked his head and said, “Maybe they had other pressing matters to attend to.”

Rebecca pouted her lips and remarked, “What other matters do they have to attend to?

They never looked busy to me. They just can’t take the heat, so stop making up excuses

for them.”

Noticing that both the women had something to say about the pair, Bryan decided to shut

his mouth and keep quiet.

Not long after, a figure staggered in from outside. His face was bruised and stained with

blood. It looked like he was in a bad shape. As he dragged himself close to them, everyone

else could finally identify who it was.

In an astonished tone, Rebecca asked, “Sunny? What happened to you? Where did you

go? We were looking for you everywhere!”

Sunny’s relatively cheery face turned dark for a moment when he heard that. After a

moment, he said embarrassingly, “I accidentally slipped and fell on the road outside.”

“I see. Oh, by the way, did you know that the two women had already left? They didn’t

even bother to inform us. They clearly did not take us seriously. As I’ve said before, these

people you’ve recruited didn’t look reliable.” complained Gracia.

After hearing that, Sunny’s composure turned even gloomier. He looked around and his

eyes met Rebecca’s. They flashed each other a look of understanding.

Sunny proceeded to go to the bathroom to clean up, while Rebecca stealthily approached

him. She asked, “Did you do it?”

Sunny quickly scanned his surroundings. Seeing that no one was looking at them, he

breathed a sigh of relief. While cleaning his wounds, he replied, “Yeah.”

“Are you nuts? It’s only the first day and you can’t even keep your pants on?” said

Rebecca, her eyes wide in disbelief.

Sunny lowered his voice and replied, “Who knew when that guy would return, so I didn’t

want to miss the opportunity. But…”

As he said that, he clenched his teeth.

Rebecca frowned and asked, “Now that the truth is out, what are you going to do? You

know that we can’t afford to get on their bad side, right?”

Sunny took a deep breath and calmly wiped the water off his face. After a short pause, he

finally said, “I know what to do.”

……

Leah and Serena were unfamiliar with the way down the mountain, but thankfully Han

knew it like the back of his hand. He had scouted the area twice before that.

As they reached the foot of the mountain, they could see an off-road vehicle parked some

distance away. It seemed like Han came prepared.

“Are you hungry?” asked Han as he took out two canned beef and water from the vehicle

and handed them to Leah and Serena. He then continued, “We’ll leave once you’re done

eating.”

Leah quietly took the can and bottle.

After he handed them the food stuff, Han went back to the vehicle.

Serena looked at him and nudged Leah, asking, “So, have you reconciled with him?”

Leah stared at the can in her hand and slowly opened it. She took two bites before shaking

her hand and said, “There are irreconcilable differences between us, there’s no way we

will ever reconcile.”

“I sometimes wonder,” said Serena as she took a gulp of water. “What in the world

happened to cause such a rift between both of you that you could not let go of it for all

eternity.”

Serena knew Leah for two years now. Even though she did not fully understand Leah, she

at least had a grasp of Leah’s temperament. She knew that Leah was mild-tempered and

accommodating. As long as nothing went against her principles, she was willing to

overlook a lot of things.

Leah stared into the distance as Serena’s words rang in her head.

After a while, Han got out of the vehicle, walked over to them and asked, “Are you done?”

She nodded.

“Let’s go.” said Han nonchalantly in a flat voice.

“Yeah,” replied Leah as she turned around to fetch Serena. Together, both of them entered

the backseat of the car.

Han glanced at them, his eyes squinted a little. His hands tightened around the steering

wheel as he recalled the time when they were newly married. Back then, because of how

shabbily she dressed, he begrudgingly decided to take her out to shop for new clothes. As

they walked towards his car, Leah tried to extend her hand towards the door of the front

passenger seat but he grabbed hold of her hand, stopping her. She did not know what

went through his mind that time. “What’s going on?” asked Leah innocently.

At that time, Han coldly replied, “Sit behind.”

Perplexed, Leah asked, “Why can’t I sit in the front passenger seat? I’m your wife, right?”

The only response she received was Han slamming the door.

Since then, Leah had been obsessed with wanting to sit side-by-side in the car with Han. It

was her way of confirming whether she even had a place in Han’s heart.

But now, she was no longer bothered by it.

Han stepped on the gas pedal and they drove off.

When they returned to Linkville, it was already the next day. Back at the annex, Leah took

a shower and was about to sit down to rest when the phone rang.

As she picked up the phone, she could hear Ian’s concerned voice on the other end. He

asked, “Why did you return so early? Did something happen?”

Leah paused for a moment before she responded, “Oh it’s nothing. Serena said she was

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

exhausted, so we came back early.”

Serena, who was in the showers, overheard her name being mentioned and blurted out,

“Huh?”

“Besides,” continued Leah with a pause. “I haven’t finished my draft, so I wanted to rush

the design out.”

“Okay then,” said Ian with a sigh of relief. He hesitated for a while before continuing,

“Sarah, I’ll bring you to pay your respects to Mr. White the day after tomorrow.”

Leah’s expression changed, a pained expression flashed across her face.

After a moment, she replied, “Sure”.

Meanwhile, Han returned to the Howard residence and called for the family doctor.

The family doctor was astonished when he saw the wound on his forehead. He blurted out,

“Mr. Howard, your wound…”

Han glanced at him coldly and said, “Don’t pry.”

“Yes, sir.” said the doctor as he quickly lowered his head and carefully dressed up the

wound.

A few moments later, the front door of the residence swung open and Molly walked in. She

was cradling Charlotte in her arms.

She looked at Han lazing on the sofa and was instantly taken aback when she laid eyes on

the bandage wrapped around his forehead. She asked, “Han, what happened to you?”

“It’s nothing,” replied Han.

Nothing could escape Molly’s keen mind, she knew he was not telling the truth. She asked,

“Where have you been these past few days? You weren’t at the office when I went to look

for you.”

With his usual blank expressionless face, he replied, “I had to deal with some matters, so I

was away. What’s the matter?”

A smile flashed across Molly’s face as she lifted Charlotte up towards Han. She said

cheerfully, “Little Charlotte said she missed daddy.”
