Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 57

Leah did not forget the reason she was there that day. She held Ron’s hand and said, “Stop it.” She was embarrassed.

Ron lowered his head to look at Leah, and suddenly he cooled down. Is she unhappy? he wondered. However, he did not know why he could not bear to see her sad.

Ron stopped throwing the bottle. He grabbed Leah’s hand and suggested, “Come to a place with me.”

“Well, I…” However, before Leah finished her words, she was pulled away by him.

A touch of sadness flashed across Han’s eyes when he saw Leah left the room with Ron.

“Mr. Howard, you’re late. You must drink 3 glasses of wine as a punishment.” Someone said and soon the atmosphere livened up.

Han looked at the man. He was the one who humiliated Leah and touched her just now. Han could not help pursing his lips and berated, “Get out of my face now!”

“Where are you taking me?” Ron dragged Leah all the way out of Phoenix Tower.

”You’ll know when we get there.” Ron said and led Leah into the car. Then he drove away from the city, and after some time, he stopped in front of a lake in the suburb.

The surrounding was so quiet. The place was an industrial area, waiting to be developed.

Leah could not help but rub her arms and asked, “Why do you take me here?”

“Relax,” Ron said and walked toward the lake.

Seeing that, Leah pursed her lips. She had no choice but to follow him. “Ron, I really thank you for helping me just now but I really have something else to do.”

“What do you have to do?” With his arms crossed over his chest, Ron looked at Leah and asked, “Don’t tell me you’re going back to look for that woman?”

Leah could not help but sigh. “Ron, I have to find her.”

“What’s going on actually? Can’t you let me help you? Why do you need to ask her for help? Besides, look at her. Do you think she will help you?” Ron looked at Leah with disappointment.

Hearing that, Leah stared at Ron calmly. Although Ron had helped her many times, she still felt they were not from the same world. She was always afraid to bother him.

“Why do you look at me like that? Don’t you believe me?” Ron narrowed his eyes.

“No.” Leah shook her head. She was scared to go back.

“Ron, why do you want to help me?” Leah looked at him. There were complicated feelings in her eyes.

Ron remained silent. He turned around, picked up a pebble, and threw it into the lake.

Leah looked at him quietly.

It was dark outside, but the light in the industrial area lit up the lake. After throwing a pebble into the lake, Ron’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Wait for me here. I’ll show you something interesting.”

After saying that, Ron went into the woods nearby.

Leah was speechless. She was not in the mood to play with Ron. She wanted to go home as soon as possible

Nonetheless, Leah had no choice as she was in the auburn now. She had to depend on Ron to drive her back.

After a while, the leaves rustled, and Ron came out with a smirk.

“Look!”

As soon as Ron said that, beams of light suddenly emitted from behind him. Leah took a look and found that there were countless of fireflies flying out behind Ron.

Fireflies flew around Ron, and when Ron walked toward Leah, so did the fireflies. The yellow and green lights flickered everywhere.

Leah was stunned. It was the first time she had seen such beautiful fireflies.

“It’s so beautiful!” Leah could not help reaching out to touch them.

Ron smirked. “I know all girls like this. But do you know where the fireflies emit light?”

“Where?” Leah asked subconsciously.

Ron pursed his lips with a smile. “Their ass.”

Hearing that, Leah was speechless. He’s so childish and annoying! she could not help but muse.

After saying that, Ron burst into laughter. He then came up to Leah and asked slyly, “ So how are you feeling now? Are you in a better mood?”

Leah fell silent for a moment.

Although Ron was childish, Leah was undeniable in a better mood.

Putting their hands behind the head, Ron and Leah looked at the fireflies flying all over the sky. The two kept silent. For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

After a while, Ron asked again, “Do you know the lifespan of these fireflies?”

“Are you going to tease me again?”

“Haha, am I that annoying to you?” Raising his eyebrows, Ron squinted at Leah. “Their lifespan is only one day. After they emit light tonight, they will die tomorrow.”

Leah was surprised, “Why? They are so beautiful.”

“Well, even though they knew they will die, they still want to shine!“ Ron was serious. “So, no matter what happens, you have to live well too.”

Ron’s eyes looked solemn even though he sounded casual. Leah did not know if he said that for himself or for her.

Following his gaze, a strange feeling suddenly emerged in Leah’s heart. Did… Did he have a sad memory in the past too? she wondered. Otherwise, why did he sound so sad?

“What’s wrong?” Ron stared at Leah.

Leah’s eyes were bright, and her face was fair. Looking at her eyes, Ron’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

“Nothing.” Leah looked away and replied, “Ron… Thank you.”

“Well, didn’t you ask me why I helped you just now?” Ron walked up to Leah and pinched her face, “Because I saved your life. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to bow your head to anyone.”

“You are not allowed to bow your head to anyone!” Leah murmured after Ron. She was confused.

Ron continued, ”It’s useless to show your weakness. You can’t do anything. You can only prove yourself only when you become stronger. Do you understand?” Ron said with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

Hearing that, Leah pursed her lips and nodded.

“Well, let me drive you back. I bet a rich family’s daughter has a curfew.” A touch of irony appeared on Ron’s face.

Ron stopped his car at the gate of the White residence.

Getting out of the car, Leah wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. “Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?”

“Tea?” Ron looked at the high wall and felt abased. He started the engine of the car again and replied, “I don’t think so.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
