Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 35

“Two daughters?” Han raised his brows.

“It’s impossible for Mr. White to have two daughters. I believe they must have mistook one of them as their own. Mr. White is still investigating the matter as we speak.” Ben shook his head.

“Anything on Sarah White’s identity then?” Han continued to ask.

“We found nothing, Mr. Howard,” Ben wiped off the sweat on his forehead as he replied.

“Nothing?” Han squinted upon Ben’s reply. No records of Sarah White?

“Yes, we found no past records of Ms Sarah White. My guess is Mr. White may have erased it before anyone could get their hands on them…” Ben elaborated.

Han slightly frowned as he thought, What was in the records that caused Mr. White to take action and erase everything?

There was a knock on the office door.

“Come in,” Han said.

The door opened, and Molly walked in with a huge smile. “Hans, aren’t you done yet?” She chirped.

“Almost now,” Hans replied. He asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Well, Mr. White is holding a banquet next week. Why don’t you come with me to pick a dress for the banquet, Hans?” Molly rubbed Han’s hands softly as she said in a sweet voice.

“Sure,” He answered as he picked up his coat and got ready to take Molly out.

While leaving the office, Molly took a quick peek at the documents on the table.

To her surprise, on the first page was a picture of a girl accompanied by a brief introduction.

The girl’s name was Sarah White.

Molly’s expression turned gloomy in an instant.

…

After dinner, Leah had plans to rest in her room.

Sasha’s voice rang, “Mommy, it’s been a long time since I went shopping for clothes! It’s almost Daddy’s birthday, don’t you think I should wear something pretty for the occasion?” She exclaimed with a cute voice.

“Alright, let’s go shopping then,” Jane agreed with a smile.

Gordon overheard their conversation and looked up from the newspaper, secretly signaling to Jane with his eyes.

Jane immediately caught up to what Gordon was thinking and stopped Leah who was on her way to her room. “Sarah, I believe you haven’t bought your clothes either. Let’s go shopping together to pick up a dress for you too,” she proposed.

Leah paused, “Sure,” she replied and smiled.

Jane was relieved after hearing that.

Leah was a sweet and obedient child. She never asked for anything unlike Sasha, probably because of their different upbringing.

“Sarah, use this credit card. If you still need any money, you can get it from… me,” he stuttered a little before placing a card on the table.

Leah was comforted by Gordon and Jane’s actions.

Even though they have yet to learn about her true identity, the White family treated her well like their daughter.

“Thank you,” she responded as she took the card.

“Oh my, we’re a family, Sarah! You don’t have to be courteous, and remember to keep it safe,” Jane said delightfully.

Meanwhile, Sasha felt a tinge of jealousy as she watched their interactions.

Soon after, the White family’s chauffeur dropped them in front of Golden Tower Center, and Jane took them straight to the fifteenth floor.

Leah once visited this place before, but never stepped onto the fifteenth floor before, as the fifteenth floor only allowed platinum card members to enter.

Han was also a platinum card member, but he never took Leah out for shopping once.

“Greetings, Mrs. White. What clothes are you looking for your daughter this time?” The sales clerks greeted Jane enthusiastically.

“Ms. Sasha, you look beautiful today,” they flattered Jane after seeing Sasha.

“We’re here for two dresses, please,” Jane requested.

“Then you have come at the right time. We recently imported a beautiful dress, which is handmade by a well known designer. It most definitely suits Ms. Sasha!” One of the sales clerks commented.

Sasha grinned widely when she heard that. “Is that so? Well then, let me have a look!” she ordered.

The sales clerk guided the three of them to a display window.

A mannequin wearing a white dress stood inside the display window. The pure white tube dress had a bow around the waist and was embroidered with large begonia flowers.

The three of them were instantly stunned by the wonderful design.

“Oh, how beautiful it is!” Sasha gasped.

“Well, if you like it, then you should try it out,” Jane said. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The sales clerk quickly took the dress down and passed it to Sasha.

Meanwhile, Leah was also stunned by the exquisite dress. When she was with Han, she had never seen such a beautiful dress.

She did not know how to dress herself up. She knew her looks were ordinary, to the point where Han felt disgusted looking at her.

Sasha walked into the dressing room. Not long after, she walked out while wearing the dress.

However, it was not as nice as they expected it to be.

Although the dress was beautifully made, Sasha’s jaundiced complexion did not match the pure white color of the dress. The white spotlight in the boutique made the mismatch more obvious.

To add on, she was not tall enough to fit the gown. The design on the dress could not show off her waistline either, so it made her look shorter.

Sasha, who was standing in front of the mirror, figured as much.

Her face turned gloomy. “It doesn’t look as good now,” she commented with some anger in her tone.

The sales clerks at the side were taken aback and felt awkward.

“Han, over here.” Suddenly, a young and bright voice can be heard from the entrance.

This voice…

Leah’s body trembled slightly and instantly sat up straight. She remembered who the voice belonged to.

Her body was having a fight-or-flight response.

Along with the voice, Molly walked into the shop while clinging onto Han.

“I remember there is a new dress in this shop. Hopefully no one has bought it yet,” She said as she strutted in.

As soon as she finished talking, she saw the dress on Sasha, “That’s it!” she exclaimed happily.

Sasha turned around and saw Molly, “I saw this dress first,” she responded as she frowned slightly.

“But the dress doesn’t fit you at all. Why don’t you try another one?” Molly smiled and said with a hint of mockery.

“That’s not up to you to decide! I saw it first. Why don’t you go find another one instead?” Sasha countered back as her anger rose.

“Look at her, Han!” Molly turned to Han and cried out, “You know it’s difficult for me to find a dress that I like, and now she wants to take it away from me!”

“I’ll pay ten times the price then,” Han who was silent for this entire time finally spoke up.

Upon hearing his voice, Leah’s body started to tremble.

Her face went pale as her hands began to turn slightly cold.

Jane noticed Leah’s discomfort and turned to Sasha, “Sasha, why don’t we give it to them? We can go to another store instead,” She consoled.

“Mommy, why do you want to…” Sasha pouted and turned around disappointed, only to see Leah who had her back to them and was trembling.

Sasha suddenly had an idea.

She took a quick turn to Sarah, “Sarah, you’ll be the one who decides then! Should we give up the dress?” she asked.
