Chapter 421 Unknown Reasons
Leah did not want to discuss this topic with her, she turned to the night view outside the window, “Carlotta is staying at your place for some time now, how is she doing?”
Serena knew her intentions to change the subject, she frowned slightly. “She's fine, much chubbier than I've seen her before, Han is taking good care of her.”
“As a friend, can you tell me, why are you together with Shawn all of a sudden?”
Serena brought the subject back.
Leah had to answer the question no matter what since Serena had asked. “Serena, please don't think too much about it, I just suddenly figured out that I want to be with him.”
“Didn't you say that he was quite nice before this? Suggesting that I should get along with him?”
Leah still didn't choose to tell Serena the truth. The less she knew, the safer she would be. Shawn’s true character was not like how it appeared to be. Once he knew his plan was known by Serena, he would definitely retaliate viciously. She could be dead.
Leah chose to bear all the responsibility and consequences alone.
Serena knew Leah didn't feel like sharing and she stopped asking about it.
She held both of Leah’s hands, “As long as you're safe, happy, and healthy, I'll be content.”
Sarah must have her reasons for doing so since it is not convenient to share now. I’ll support her silently behind the scenes.
“I came to visit you today. Since you are doing well, I’m relieved.” Serena said her goodbyes and prepared to leave. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Even though Leah was reluctant to let her leave, she did not dare to let her stay at the Ford mansion for long, “I let Leon send you back.”
Leon was one of Shawn’s assistants. He was arranged to serve Leah for the time being.
“ There’s no need for it. Tomorrow is the weekend, and everyone in the studio is on vacation. I also happen to have time to bring Carlotta out. You come over and join us too.” Serena invited her to go out tomorrow before leaving.
“Okay.” Leah felt guilty when she thought of Carlotta, whom she had not seen for many days.
After Leon sent Serena back, Leah found Shawn in the study and told him that she was going out tomorrow.
She felt nervous when she talked about it because she had not left Shawn’s supervision for some time. She was in a semi-house arrest state.
He unexpectedly agreed, “Sure.”
Before Leah had the time to rejoice, his next words made her felt complicated.
“I haven’t seen Carlotta for quite a while too. I’ll go with you.”
She knew this was Shawn’s bottom line, she suppressed her emotions and agreed.
I’ll be fine as long as I can meet Carlotta.
The next morning.
On the way to Dream Designs, Leah mentioned that she wanted a new phone with Shawn.
“I think it's not very convenient to use your phone. Your business partners called often. Buy me a new one.” She tried her best to talk gently.
Shawn frowned and pondered for a moment, “ I will ask my assistant to settle the calls from them as soon as possible. Sarah, you should use this phone.”
Leah did not mention this again as he was not happy about it. She knew Shawn was still reluctant for her to have a phone all to herself.
They arrived at Dream Designs half an hour later. Serena and Carlotta had been waiting for a long time.
“Mommy, what have you been doing these days? I haven't seen you for a long time! You don't miss me anymore!” As soon as Carlotta saw her, she ran towards her while crying.
Leah carried her immediately and wiped away the tears on her face. “I’m sorry, it’s mommy’s fault…”
Leah eyes got teary too.
She worried about Carlotta the most. If she brought Carlotta together to live with Shawn. Her child would become a key for him to blackmail and control her.
Shawn saw the tears in Leah’s eyes and hugged both of them. “We will live together from now on. We won’t be separated anymore.”
Carlotta wanted to nod instinctively but after seeing the look in Serena’s eyes. She became serious.
She shook her head and refused, “Uncle Shawn, it's okay. Before you both get married, I plan to stay with Aunt Serena. You can have the chance to spend time together as a couple.”
Carlotta sounded like she was considerate of them. Shawn was satisfied and smiled, “Alright, little kid.”
Carlotta’s reaction shocked Leah. She looked at Serena, who gave her a reassuring smile. She understood instantly. Her eyes were slightly teary once again.
Serena obviously didn't know anything, yet she still thought of a foolproof way for her. She had protected Carlotta well knowing that Leah was most concerned about her.
The temperature has dropped day by day since winter started.
Shawn brought them to an indoor amusement park. He played with Carlotta most of the time while Leah and Serena were chatting at the side.
“I can see that he sincerely treats Carlotta as his daughter, it could be nice if you really love him, but…”
Serena looked at Shawn and looked at Leah the next.
“I can feel that you do not love him at all.”
Leah was exposed and she felt terrified. However, she still pretended to be calm. She said with a soft smile, “Serena, don’t say such things next time. I will slowly build up my feelings for him.”
Shawn’s attitude towards Serena was solely based on Leah. He went to the extent of trying to try and kill Serena a few times in order to make Leah to be dependent on him. If he heard Serena say Leah doesn’t love him, he would do something unexpectedly again.
After a day of having fun, they took many photos to post online. Shawn intentionally let his assistant send a few photos to Han’s email.
Han looked at the photos and he was focused on Leah’s beautiful face.
She didn't look happy when she was together with Shawn. What is the exact reason that she chooses to be with him?
He was lost in his thoughts.
The cold wind blew in through the window, and some of the photos on his desk fell to the ground. The sound of the fallen photos made him come back to his senses.
He got up and picked up the photos. They were photos of Leah and him at the amusement park last time. She was on the roller coaster, leaning on him.
“Boss, Donald escaped.” Ben saw the photos in Han’s hand.
Han is not concerned about this matter. He put the photo back into the inside pocket of his jacket.
“Have you found out what happened between Sarah and Shawn?”
Ben shook his head, “No, but according to tour spies in Ford mansion, they couldn’t tell Ms. White’s feelings towards him. The reason for her to stay was also unknown…”
