Chapter 293 His Past
Leah's face turned cold.
"I don't know what you're talking about. It was a coincidence." She said in a deep voice.
Before Shawn could say anything, Leah closed her eyes and refused to communicate.
There was no sound in the car other than music and their breathing sound.
When the car stopped, Leah opened her eyes and rushed to the villa as fast as lightning.
Eversince then, Shawn stopped mentioning anything related to Han and Anna as he would not want
Leah to be reminded of the dark past. Moreover, he definitely would not want Leah to get back to Han.
At the Ford family's villa, Leah was making pumpkin pancakes for Carlotta. Her cheeks and hands
were stained with flour. After placing the pancakes in the steamer, she went to wash her hands.
"Come here, darling."
Carlotta ran toward Leah and reached out her arms widely.
Leah squatted down and held Carlotta to prevent her from falling.
"Mommy is dirty, Carlotta. I can give you a big hug later."
Carlotta pouted and looked at Leah pitifully.
She was defeated by Carlotta's cuteness and changed her mind. She sighed and held Carlotta in her
arms.
Lucy stood at the door and said, "Ms. White, there's a lady at the door. She said she's your friend."
She had just come back from the market and encountered Anna by the gate. Anna was denied entry by
the security.
Lucy has worked with Leah for two years. Apart from Serena, Lucy has never seen any of Leah's other
friends.
So, she did not dare to let her in and made the decision to ask Leah beforehand.
Leah was startled. She remembered that Serena went out of the country to travel two weeks ago, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthas yet to return. Not to mention that Leah has no other friends in Linkville.
Looking at Leah's confused face, Lucy realized the woman at the door might be a deceiver.
"I will tell the security to chase her away."
Leah handed Carlotta to Lucy and turned to the door.
At the same time, Anna who was wearing full glam makeup was standing by the gate, and trying to
convince the security to let her in.
Leah scratched her head, she had no idea how Anna ended up at her residence.
"Ms. White!"
Anna immediately saw Leah and waved enthusiastically to her.
Leah faked a smile and proceeded to tell the security to let her in.
"I'm so sorry for not letting you know in advance before coming. You don't mind, right?"
Anna was smiling brightly, and her sincere apology sounded convincing to Leah.
Leah finally knew why Han would fall head over heels for Anna. No man could reject an attractive and
charismatic lady.
Compared to Anna, she was no one.
Leah looked down, she seemed to be quite upset.
"Why are you upset?" Anna asked.
Anna seemed to be very aware of other's emotions, and it made her think that she made Leah
uncomfortable by coming too abruptly.
"No, how did you get my address?" Leah asked confusedly.
The Ford family was not the most influential and affluent in Linkville, but the location of their residence
was quite hard to be found.
Who told Anna my address, I wonder?
"Ethan told me your address."
Her eyes flickered with joy whenever she talked about him.
The smile on Leah's face froze, as she nearly forgot that Anna was Han's fiancé. Anna could easily get
all the information she need about Leah from her husband.
"I almost forgot…" Leah said awkwardly.
She quickly hid her disappointment and signaled Lucy to bring over some refreshments for Anna.
Anna glanced around the villa, and the smile on her face gradually faded. The design of the Ford
family's villa was minimalistic which was highly identical to Han's one in Linkville despite being located
in two different areas in Linkville.
Could it be an indication?
Leah handed Anna a porcelain mug.
"Ethan went to a meeting, so I felt bored. So, I thought I could come and visit you. You don't mind,
right?" Anna asked.
Leah shook her head.
Anna seemed to care about Leah's mood very much.
"That's great!"
"A moment, please."
Leah went to the kitchen and took out the pancakes from the oven. Then, she took Carlotta upstairs
and returned to the living room after giving orders to the helpers.
"Anna, are you here for something?" Leah stood straight as she looked into Anna's eyes.
Leah felt like she came here for a reason.
Anna did not beat around the bush, and she told her intention.
"Yes, how long have you and your husband known Ethan?
Anna knew that Han was from Linkville and aware that he had a certain history in the same town.
She tried to ask Han before but he refused to reveal anything.
Leah pressed on her mug, and her face turned white. After a moment of contemplation, she nodded
her head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, three of us knew each other back then."
"Can you tell me more about Ethan during that time?" Anna felt intrigued and moved closer to Leah.
"Well, nothing much. People who were in the community knew each other." Leah replied hastily.
She refused to let Anna know about her history with Han, as she did not want to put Han in an awkward
position.
Sometimes a white lie can save lives.
Leah did not know how Han has become Anna's fiancé, but she knew it was not an easy journey. She
could not ruin it for him.
"That's all?" Anna was disappointed by her answer.
"Yes." Leah nodded without any hesitation. She was very sure of her decision.
"I could feel that Ethan is not on good terms with Shawn, so I assumed that something happened
between them back then," Anna said.
Leah knew about the love-hate relationship between Shawn and Han. Han never had the intention to
treat Shawn like an enemy, but that was not the case for Shawn.
Two years ago, it was Shawn who ruined the relationship.
"Well, something happened before." Leah regretted it as soon as the sentence came out of her mouth.
"Was it because of you?" Anna smiled but gave Leah a suspicious look.
Leah could feel her heart drop, and Anna's intuition scared her.
"Haha, I'm joking!" Anna changed her stern expression and laughed.
Leah's face turned pale. She was not sure how to react if Anna asked more questions.
Should I tell her what happened between us?
"We should hang out more as Ethan rarely comes back to Linkville. I guess there won't be any more
opportunities like this." Anna grinned.
Leah knew that she should have said no, but the heart wanted what it wanted…
