Chapter 237
“Pretty lady, wtiy are you sitting alone here?"
A boyish voice sounded.
Leah turned around and saw a tiny figure.
She looked around her but saw that no one was with this boy, “You're alone too. Are you separated
from your parents?"
The boy looked like he was four or five, and although he was not wearing any branded clothing, the
style was classy and his attire was expensive-looking.
Leah bent down, “Do you want me to bring you to your parents?"
The boy was staring at her with crystal-clear eyes. Leah felt like she was going to melt in front of him.
“Can you do that? Pretty lady."
Leah held his hand and replied, “Of course, where did you part ways with your daddy and mommy?"
The boy pointed at a car park not far away.
“Alright, let's take a look there."
This boy did not make a ruckus even if he was lost at the moment. He could even remain calm and
directed Leah. Leah could not help but feel curious about this child. What kind of parent and what kind
of upbringing could produce such an immaculate child?
When the two of them reached the car park, the boy let go of Leah's hand and jogged toward a figure
not far away.
“Mommy."
“Charlotte, don't run like that."
When Leah heard that voice, she stopped in her tracks, and she immediately wanted to turn around
and leave.
However, Molly already saw her.
“Why are you here?"
Molly placed herself in front of Charlotte, and she was glaring at Leah. She checked on Charlotte to
make sure that he was not hurt. Only then she could let out a sigh of relief.
Leah wanted to just go away, but her face darkened upon hearing Molly's tone, “This is a hospital
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhere anyone can come. This is not your home."
Charlotte tugged at Molly's shirt and explained in his childish voice, “Mommy, this pretty lady is the one
who brings me to you.”
Molly frowned and warned him, “Charlotte, that woman is a bad person. You need to stay away from
her as far away as possible."
She could not believe what she had just heard from Charlotte's mouth. Charlotte was seeing Leah in
such a good light.
Leah did not want to get into any conflict with Molly, so she turned around and left. However, she
immediately bumped into someone just as she turned around.
She looked up and saw that she was locking her gaze with none other than Han.
The two of them were startled at the sight of each other.
Han had a worried look on his face, “Are you not feeling well?"
Leah knew that Charlotte was just behind her, and she did not want to hurt him. She did not want him
to grow up feeling resentful toward his own dad. so she decided to say nothing.
“I am here to see Ron."
Han's face darkened as he continued to struggle with the fact that Leah was still more fond of Ron.
Molly let go of Charlotte's hand and warped her arm around Han. She was looking at Leah
provocatively.
“Han, Charlotte was missing just now. I was really panicking, but luckily you're back now."
Leah looked away from the couple. She did not even realize that she was feeling a tinge of jealousy at
the sight of them.
Han removed his harm from hers, and then put some distance between himself and Molly.
Molly wanted to get back to him, but she was startled at how cold he appeared to be.
She stopped in her tracks and was feeling very indignant.
“Charlotte, didn't you want me to cam' you? I am here now.”
Charlotte was spoiled by Molly all the while, but he would never act childishly in front of Han. Charlotte
was staring at Han as he would not dare to think about the prospect of Han earn ing him in his arms.
Molly reminded briefly, “Han. he's just done with his checkup."
Han bent down and carried Charlotte.
Leah felt that her heart was sinking. They really looked like a family now.
Han said monotonously, “I will ask the driver to send you back."
He would never expect to see Leah here. All he could do was explain himself when he went back home
at night.
Leah immediately rejected that idea, “I will go back home by myself.”
Charlotte was cuddling up with Han, and he waved his tiny hand at Leah, “Pretty lady, goodbye."
Leah forced a smile on her face and said goodbye too.
When Serena found Leah later, Leah was sitting on the long bench, and it seemed that her soul was
not with her at the moment.
She sat down next to Leah and decided not to describe Ron's situation to her for now. She summarized
some important points.
“Ron seems to be waiting for you."
Leah smiled bitterly, “I am really thankful for everything that you have done lately, Serena."
She figured that her time with Ron was coming to an end.
Serena had a serious expression on her face, “If you're going to keep maintaining formalities with me,
I'm going to get angry soon."
Leah did not stay too long in the hospital. She went back to the villa after that.
While in the car. Charlotte was soundly asleep in Han's embrace.
Molly was stealing glances at Han, and she seemed like she had something to say, yet she did not
break the silence.
Although she had tried her best to keep up appearances in front of Leah, to prove that she and Han
and Charlotte was part of the same family, she still could not feel so sure about this.
That was because she knew that this man had no feelings for her. She had simply used Charlotte to
bind him to this so-called family.
In the end, Molly spoke and broke the silence, “Are you coming back home to sleep tonight? Charlotte
misses daddy by his side at night."
She shot an expectant look at him.
However, Han rejected him without much thought, “I have to work later."
“But Charlotte...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Call me if there's anything urgent."
The car was parked in the courtyard, and Han carried Charlotte all the way to his room. He removed
Charlotte's shoes and tucked him in before leaving the room.
Molly decided to take a bet and chased after Han, seeing that he was really leaving. She hugged him
by his waist.
“Can you not leave tonight?"
Han did not reply to her. He simply pried away her hand and gazed at her with his bottomless eyes. His
voice was so cold that it was hurting, “Don't do useless things like this."
He said that and immediately left the villa.
Molly felt that her field of vision was blurring up, and her tears finally trickled down her cheeks and
dropped on her hand.
She bit her lips hard and wiped off remnants of her tears. Hatred began to form in her eyes.
She was in this situation because of Leah.
Without her existence. Han would not treat her like this. Without her existence, her father would not
lose power.
She vowed to make Leah pay for everything!
Soon, night came and enveloped the city.
Leah was sitting in her study and was reading a jewelry magazine. She was trying to divert her
attention.
She was absorbed in the content to the point that she did not even notice that someone had come in.
Han placed a glass of warm milk on her desk, “Are you still angry?"
“Not at all."
Leah did not even look at him. She continued to flip the pages.
It was just a mere trade between them. When the time came, it would signal the end of their deal. She
would have nothing to do with him after that.
Han replied, “You must be feeling jealous.”
It was only when he was coming back to Rose Bay that he realized that today was supposed to be the
day Leah had to visit the hospital for a prenatal examination.
