Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 17

“Stop that nonsense!” Han frowned and scolded after hearing Shyanne’s explanation. Then, he walked over to Leah and grabbed her wrist. “I’ll bring you back there myself,” said Han coldly. Leah did not want to go back after escaping from that horrible place. “No, I’m not going back.” Leah tried to pull out her wrist. “Don’t even think about it. That person is still at the hospital, unconscious from the concussion you caused. Her family had reported it to the police. So, you better stay at the mental hospital before they find you!” warned Han. “I rather stay in jail forever than the mental hospital,” said Leah through her gritted teeth as she looked directly into Han’s cold stare. “You!” Han was so furious. His clenched fists started to produce a crackling sound. At that moment, Molly appeared on the top of the staircase. “Han!” Molly slowly walked towards Han, but Shyanne tried to block her way. “Hey, Molly. I brought that woman here to apologize to you,” said Shyanne with a stiff smile. “I don’t need her to apologize to me. If she hurts someone, so she will be sent to the police. But, I want to know why Han is protecting that woman,” said Molly, looking at Han with a sad expression, like she had been wronged. “Protecting her?” Shyanne was startled. “That’s impossible, Molly. Why would my brother protect a stranger instead of you? You know his feelings for you,” she explained. Leah thought she would be sad when she heard such hurtful words, but she did not. She was not surprised at Shyanne saying those words because she knew everyone in the Howard family had hearts of stone, including Han and Shyanne. So, Leah turned and looked at Molly. “Miss Lamere, I think you had misunderstood.” It was the first time she denied her relationship with Han. “Didn’t you claim that Han is your husband? So why do you deny it now?” Molly did not plan to let Leah go easily. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t well that day and had misspoken. Please do not take my words too seriously. I had absolutely no relation with Mr. Howard at all,” said Leah flatly. Suddenly, she felt Han tighten his grip on her wrist and inflict pain. “Isn’t that so, Mister Howard?” Leah looked up at Han and gave him a meaningful smile. However, Han’s face scrunched up, like he could swallow Leah whole. “Say it again?” Leah could not understand. she thought that was what Han would want her to say. Instead, Han looked even more furious. “Han!” Shyanne quickly tried to warn her brother. However, Han completely ignored Shyanne. Instead, he stared at the smile on Leah’s lips. How dare this woman challenge me in front of everyone? Does she truly think that I am too cowardly to admit our relationship? Who does she think she is? Han wasThis text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

irritated by the smile on Leah’s face. He threw off her wrist, but when he looked at Molly, he behaved like nothing mattered. “I had no relation with her, so there’s no need for me to protect her. She is just a mental patient. We don’t need to get all worked up over her.” Leah lowered her eyes and looked at her bruised wrist. Indeed, Han would never make the woman he loved sad.
