Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 459

Chapter 459 Multiple Identities

The cold seeped into the room through the window. Almost subconsciously, Leah snuggled into Han's embrace. She was pretty sure she did not cross any ancient family or organization.

"They are trained to be professional assassins. Shawn and Anna never raised a squad like this," spoke Han as he tucked Leah's hair behind her ear.

After dinner, Leah planned to visit Carlotta. But Han pinned her to the bed.

"This is our first night together as a couple. Don't ever think you can escape."

Leah blushed. "We were married once. No need to do this again."

Han just dragged Leah into the sheet by force. "We could skip this if you agreed to marry me again. But you said you wanted to try this boyfriend-girlfriend thing."

Leah just surrendered to her fate. She sent a text to Carlotta, settled into a cozy spot within Han's arms, and fell asleep. Han only opened his eyes again when he was certain that Leah was sound asleep. He read the text Ben sent him.

"An international state-of-the-art AI laboratory just announced a new product. It's a robot dog that could track down anything its owner wants. To do that, it needs some biology samples, such as hair or blood."

Han clenched his fist. His wrath was oozing out of his body. For Leah's sake, Han asked Ben to put some pressure on this AI laboratory with his company. He also told Ben to continue tracking Leah's

blood sample.

The next morning, after Han had his body checkup, he returned to his villa with Leah.

"Daddy! Mommy! You're back." Carlotta trotted toward the duo with her pudgy feet.

"Do you miss me, baby girl?" Han picked her up in his arms.

"Of course, Daddy! Since you didn't bring me any gift, can I have some of the photos?" Carlotta blinked her innocent eyes.

"What photos?" quizzed Han.

Leah faked a cough and walked away. If Carlotta saw Leah's secret stash of Han's photos, Leah could die from embarrassment. When Carlotta explained that she wanted the photos from when they all went to the theme park together, Han gave them away.

"I trust you to take care of them, Carlotta. Don't lose them."

In Han's mind, he did not see why he had to tone down his affection toward Leah. When they were both exchanging photos, Leah got a call from Serena.

"Sarah, that Ben Wright is crazy. He is a project manager at Skye Corporation. Can you believe it?"

Leah could imagine how dumbfounded Serena felt now. "So Ben would be overseeing our partnership with Skye Corporation?"

Now Leah understood why the lofty Skye Corporation was willing to work with Dream Designs.

"Damn right!" Serena sounded almost ballistic. "Like what the heck? And I was the one who went to Skye Corporation first! I didn't know he had that many identities. Sarah, sweetie, can you ask Han to nullify the contract?"

That was a tall order but Leah could try. "I'll talk to Han."

Serena repeated the whole thing again before hanging up. When Leah came out of the shower, Han already put Carlotta to bed. And after he heard Leah's request, he shot a sly grin.

"Nullify the contract? Absolutely not."

Leah didn't expect anything less. But that refusal was done without hesitation. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Look. Serena isn't into Ben. Why force her?" Leah pressed on.

"Feelings can develop over time. Besides, business is no joke."

Leah knew Han was about to give the usual arguments again. She quickly cut his sentence short. "All right, all right."

Leah felt... annoyed. Han couldn't even fulfill this small demand of hers. So much for loving her. She stormed to her room. But before she could shut the door, Han grabbed her by her waist. "Honey, calm down now. I just think that they could give it a shot. Serena did kind of ruin Ben's reputation. She

should make up to him by giving him this chance."

Leah didn't know how to retort. Serena did get into this mess. She only had herself to blame if Ben wouldn't let go of her.

The next day, Leah, Han, Serena, and Ben all gathered at Dream Designs. They were supposed to talk about the partnership but...

"Nice one, Ben Huffington Wright. Who knew you had that many identities?" Serena said sardonically.

Leah was surprised to hear Ben's full name for the first time. "Ben Huffington Wright?"

Ben felt squirmish when Leah called him that. "If you call me that, Mrs. Howard, Boss will get jealous."

Speaking of which, Han was already brooding on the side. Leah decided to do the damage control right away. "Babe, you're not mad at me, are you?"

Let's just say one "babe" was enough to assuage Han.

"Of course, not." Han was really trying his hardest not to give the goofiest smile ever.

When Ben saw how his superior was reduced to this lovestruck state, he could only sigh internally. Somehow he had a feeling that he would soon be the same. And when they were on the same boat, there was no point making fun of Han anymore.

Suddenly, Susan barged into the office.

"Sarah, I heard you were nearly assassinated. Are you all right?"

She noticed Han right away, who stuck out like a sore thumb.

"What is this playboy doing here? Stop bothering my Sarah already."
