Chapter 424 His Concession
It was raining outside, and the damp water vapor penetrated the room along the cracks of the window.
Leah got up to close the window and asked Ben curiously, "Why didn't Han let the family doctor check his body?"
Ben frowned and said, "Maybe Boss feels a little sad and in a bad mood."
Leah was slightly startled and asked the reason. The word sad never seemed to be associated with Han.
Ben recalled the scenes Han secretly looked at the photos of him and Leah. Ben paused for a while but finally did not disclose those matters. He wanted to preserve Han's last dignity. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing that Leah did not ask anymore, Ben looked at her complicatedly. He could not help but ask, "Ms. White, can I ask why you want to be with Shawn suddenly? Do you have any difficulty? If so, just tell Boss! He'll help you!"
It's rare for Boss to like someone for so long. Even I thought that they had finally eased their relationship. I didn't expect everything to change suddenly.
Leah frowned slightly and looked at the rain outside the window. "I don't have any difficulty, and it shouldn't be sudden. After all, I've been with Shawn for so long in the past two years. I've developed a relationship with him."
After saying that, she looked at Ben again with a faint smile. Ben had no choice but to give up
persuading her. He had other ideas in mind.
The family doctor briefly checked Han's body. He gave Han an IV drip and said to Leah, "Ms. White, Mr. Howard is fine. It's just some symptoms after donating too much blood. He needs to rest for a few days. During this period, you must be careful not to let him go to work or get too tired."
Leah was stunned. "Okay, I got it. You can go back now."
She did not think Han would be obedient if she did not allow him to go out. For Carlotta's sake, she still needed to care for him and build a good relationship. But what she did was contrary to her plan. Once Shawn found something was wrong between her and Han, it would become hard for her to extract the location of the laboratory from Shawn.
Leah took care of Han for one night. He slept deeply and did not need her to worry about anything else.
It was dawn at 5.00 am in early winter. After handing Han to Ben, Leah took a taxi to Dream Designs to pretend to be working all night.
Serena, who had been waiting in the studio for a long time, saw Leah back and gave her breakfast. "Carlotta is still resting upstairs. Do you want to sleep for a while?"
While eating breakfast, Leah rejected Serena's proposal. "I'm fine. Give me some work first. After all, I have nothing to do after returning to the Ford mansion. I can sleep when I go back there."
Serena suppressed her urge to ask Leah's purpose and brought Leah a few design drafts. "HJ Corporation rejected these drafts. Only you can complete them."
After Leah had breakfast and revised the design drafts, it was already 8.00 am. Leah sent the modified design drafts to Susan and soon received her call, but it was on Serena's mobile phone, and Susan asked Leah to pick it up.
"Ms. White, you're finally back! I knew you modified these drafts when I saw them. They're good! Are you okay? I contacted you several times but failed. I'm worried about you!"
Susan's sudden enthusiasm made Leah a little surprised, but she still answered Susan politely, "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Victor. I'm sorry. Something happened a while ago, so I changed my phone number. I've almost retreated behind the scenes now. If you have any needs, you can tell Serena. I'll be responsible for your design drafts, but Serena is mainly responsible for them..."
Only then did Susan understand. "I see. Okay, I'll finish my work soon, then go to your country to open a branch office. At that time, we can see each other every day!"
Leah felt that Susan was surprised and over-enthusiastic after they contacted again, but Leah did not think much about it. After explaining the work to Susan, she felt a little relieved.
At 8.30 am, Shawn came to pick Leah up on time.
"Serena, I'll go first. Please take good care of Carlotta." Leah waved to Serena.
Serena's expression was particularly complicated. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something but finally gave up. "Okay, be careful on the road."
Serena faintly felt that Leah was executing a big plan, but she could not help. This feeling made Serena uncomfortable.
Not long after, Shawn returned to the Ford mansion with Leah.
He reluctantly rejected Leah from returning to work in the design studio. "Sarah, we're getting married soon. Please trust me that I can support you. You don't have to work so hard anymore. Last night you stayed up all night. If Serena didn't stop me and said that you hated to be taken away by force, I would not endure until this morning to pick you up. You only have to be my bride obediently."
Leah frowned. She did not like Shawn deprived her of the value of existence. She looked up to meet his eyes. "But I have a job I like and things I want to do. I feel that I'll be useless if I lie at home every day!"
I must change this situation of being completely cut off from the outside world!
Leah's complexion was solemn, and her eyes were shining brightly. Shawn was stunned that he did not know what to say.
"Sarah, you..."
"Or you can let me go to work with you. It's too boring at home!" Shawn was about to speak when Leah interrupted.
Leah hid a deep purpose in her words, but Shawn thought she wanted to be with him and did not think much about it.
"But I'm in charge of the laboratory now. There are many viruses in it. It's dangerous for you." Shawn approached Leah with a smile. He felt glad because Leah asked to work with him.
Leah pretended to be indifferent and turned back to the room. "You want to imprison me, don't you? Do you mean I can't go anywhere or do anything and have no freedom?"
He had not seen her cold face for a long time. He was a little uncomfortable and frowned, then made his concession. "The laboratory is too dangerous. I can ask Serena to bring work here every day. You can work together with her at home."
Knowing it was Shawn's best compromise right now, Leah was satisfied. She showed a faint smirk on her pretty face. "Okay."
Leah wanted to carry out her plan little by little. She believed she would make Shawn let his guard down completely one day.
After calming Leah's emotions, Shawn brought up the matter of marriage again. He came to her side, then reached out to wrap her soft waist with a smile. "Sarah, last time I decided on the wedding dress style. Do you want to try it on with me tomorrow?"
Hearing that, Leah stayed calm and nodded soon. "Okay."
She had been waiting for this day as she knew that marrying Shawn was the best way to gain his trust.
