Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 142

Chapter 142

On their way back, Serena kept asking, “Who on earth is he? He spent all the money and did not leave his name? Did he have a crush on you? Your secret admirer?”

Looking out of the window at the street, Leah was in a daze. However, she still heard what Serena said. She knew it was not Ian.

Ian knew Leah was donating to the fundraising event. If he wanted to donate, he would have told her and added to the fund from the beginning. As for who that person was, Leah roughly knew, but she tried not to think about it.

The car passed by Howard’s Group. Resting her chin on her hand, Leah glanced at the building. That was going to be her working place in the future, but somehow she had mixed feelings.

When Leah returned to the country, Jane reminded her to keep a distance from Han. Although she knew she would inevitably meet Han, she told herself to stay away from him as far as possible. She did not expect she would meet him like this. Perhaps, that was their destiny.

“Wow, Cindy, the news is spreading fast on the Internet. The news about the fundraising event was already out.” While Leah was lost in her thoughts, Serena handed her phone to her.

Without malicious manipulation, the comments from netizens were neutral.

“Wow! How generous she is! I don’t think many people can do that!”

“She said she came back to Linkville with a purpose! Now it seems that she meant it.”

“Who cares if she has not finished her studies. We only care how much she donates to the charity!”

“It’s all for fame, I guess!”

“Go and donate two hundred thousand for fame yourself.”

Some netizens complimented Leah, however, some netizens still critized her.

“She is so beautiful, talented, and kind-hearted. She is really a role model for all the young girls!”

“No designer at the same age is better than her!”

“I don’t understand why people try to slander her!”

Leah browsed some of the comments and returned the phone to Serena.

Back at the company, Ian had just finished his meeting. When he saw Leah, he came up to her and asked. “The event finished?”

“Yeah. What about you?”

“I just finished a meeting. Let’s have dinner tonight. I have a gift for you.” Ian then smiled mysteriously.

“A gift?” Confused, Leah turned her head and asked, “Why are you giving me a gift suddenly?”

“Don’t you know what day is today?” asked Ian again.

Leah thought about anniversaries and holidays. However, she did not understand what Ian meant.

“Check the date today,” Ian hinted.

Hearing that, Leah took out her phone and checked the calendar. “Today is September 28th.”

“It’s your birthday. Have you forgotten about your own birthday?” A doting smile appeared on Ian’s face.

Leah was stunned and shook her head. It was not her birthday, but Sarah’s. Although she knew she was Sarah now, she only remembered her birthday was in December.

”It doesn’t matter.” Ian suddenly stepped closer to Leah and helped her tuck her hair behind her ear. “I’ll remember it for you every year from now.”

Leah’s heart skipped a beat. She met Ian in the eyes. She suddenly remembered Jane urged her to get engaged to Ian as soon as possible. Perhaps it was time for her to think about it.

After work, Ian picked up Leah and went to a restaurant. It was the most famous restaurant in Linkville. The two sat down at the table Ian had reserved. After that, Ian gave a wink at the waiter.

Leah was looking at the menu and did not notice what Ian was up to. When she raised her head Ian had looked away.

Leah handed the menu to Ian and asked, “What would you like to have for dessert?”

Ian took the menu and glanced at it. “I’ll have a lava cake.”

Confused, Leah looked at him and asked, “I remember you don’t like cakes.”

“Well, cakes here are really good. You’ll know later.” Ian smiled as his eyes lit up.

Soon, their main course was served. The two ate quietly, and neither of them spoke.

“Do Mrs. White get used to living abroad?” Suddenly, Ian asked.

Leah almost finished eating. She wiped her mouth and replied, “I think so. Why not you ask her yourself?” Leah knew Ian was in frequent contact with Jane.

Seeing that Leah had finished eating, Ian pushed the lava cake in front of him to Leah casually. “I see that you have lost a lot of weight.”

Leah took the cake naturally and picked up the spoon next to her. “Really? Maybe I don’t like foreign food.”

“Yeah, I guess so,” Ian said, raising his chin and pointed at the cake in front of her. “Try it.”

Leah picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of cake. However, she heard a sharp tinkling sound when she moved her spoon away. She frowned slightly. There was something inside the cake.

Leah looked up at Ian, and he smiled at her. “Take it out and have a look.”

Pursing her lips, Leah thought about something. However, she forced herself to calm down. She put down the spoon and took out the thing from the cake.

It was a ring and was shining brightly under the dimmed light. Suddenly, the lights in the restaurant suddenly went out, and candles in a circle slowly lit up.

Leah was stunned. She raised her head and looked at Ian. Nonetheless, Ian had stood up from his seat and slowly knelt down on one knee in front of the heart-shaped candles.

Ian had a bouquet of roses in his hand. His face blushed as the bright red color of the roses reflected on his face. He smiled happily.

“Sarah, will you marry me?” Ian asked seriously.

With the ring in her hand, Leah stared at Ian in front of her.

Time was ticking, and all the people in the restaurant were staring at Leah. Everyone was so envious of her. Some even whispered, “Say yes…”

Outside the restaurant stood a slender figure. He glared at Ian when he was proposing to Leah.
