The next day, the caretaker packed all of Leah’s stuff.
Leah had just stepped out of the ward but a pair of shiny leather shoes entered her field of vision. She did not even need to look up to see who was the owner.
“Give that to me.”
Han took Leah’s stuff from the caretaker.
Leah stood by the door and she was very calm, “It’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”
She had promised Han his request, so it was also time for Ron to be in greater care, to be out of harm’s way.
Han clutched the luggage in his hand hard and said, “I’ve made the arrangements. He will never be in danger again.”
“Thank you,” Leah whispered.
A black luxurious car was speeding on the highway. Han was holding onto Leah in the backseat.
Ever since leaving the hospital, he seemed to be in high spirits.
The driver left after dropping them at the gate of the villa.
Han held Leah’s hand and said, “This will be our home from now on.”
This villa was renovated in a style that fit the Rose Bay suburban area. It was designed in an old-school style, which was Leah’s preference.
She noticed a pair of slippers near the door, and she was startled, “Are you living here too?”
Han nodded.
Jackson was still on the run out there, and there was always the risk that he would do reckless things when he was pushed to a corner.
Leah’s expression shifted. She had gotten used to Han’s absence, but now they suddenly needed to live together like a couple. She would not get used to this anytime soon.
Han’s gaze fell on her as he added, “Don’t worry, I won’t be barbaric toward you.”
He would not do anything to a pregnant woman anyway.
Furthermore, this pregnant woman was Leah.
Leah knew what Han was referring to, and her face immediately blushed.
“I am not talking about that.”
Han smirked and came closer to her. He asked softly, “Or are you having some sort of expectation?”
A hot breath entered her ears, and she was immediately enveloped in a familiar yet fragrant scent. She froze a little before staggering backward to put some distance between them.
She said loudly, “From now on, we will have some distance between us for safety measures.”
She knew that she would be gone from his side ten months later. She would never go back to him anymore.
Han simply smiled at her. Then, he led her upstairs.
Han pushed the door open and looked at Leah with anticipation, “Take a look. Do you like it?”
The baby's room was decorated entirely by him. He had chosen everything from necessary furniture to decorations.
This was the only way he could make it up to Leah. The next doy, the coretoker pocked oll of Leoh’s stuff.
Leoh hod just stepped out of the word but o poir of shiny leother shoes entered her field of vision. She did not even need to look up to see who wos the owner.
“Give thot to me.”
Hon took Leoh’s stuff from the coretoker.
Leoh stood by the door ond she wos very colm, “It’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”
She hod promised Hon his request, so it wos olso time for Ron to be in greoter core, to be out of horm’s woy.
Hon clutched the luggoge in his hond hord ond soid, “I’ve mode the orrongements. He will never be in donger ogoin.”
“Thonk you,” Leoh whispered.
A block luxurious cor wos speeding on the highwoy. Hon wos holding onto Leoh in the bockseot.

Leoh’s expression shifted. She hod gotten used to Hon’s obsence, but now they suddenly needed to live

Hon’s goze fell on her os he odded, “Don’t worry, I won’t be borboric toword you.”
He would not do onything to o pregnont womon onywoy.
Furthermore, this pregnont womon wos Leoh.
Leoh knew whot Hon wos referring to, ond her foce immediotely blushed.
“I om not tolking obout thot.”
Hon smirked ond come closer to her. He osked softly, “Or ore you hoving some sort of expectotion?”
A hot breoth entered her eors, ond she wos immediotely enveloped in o fomilior yet frogront scent. She froze o little before stoggering bockword to put some distonce between them.
She soid loudly, “From now on, we will hove some distonce between us for sofety meosures.”
She knew thot she would be gone from his side ten months loter. She would never go bock to him onymore.
Hon simply smiled ot her. Then, he led her upstoirs.
Hon pushed the door open ond looked ot Leoh with onticipotion, “Toke o look. Do you like it?”
The boby's room wos decoroted entirely by him. He hod chosen everything from necessory furniture to
decorotions.
This wos the only woy he could moke it up to Leoh. The next day, the caretaker packed all of Leah’s stuff.
Leah stood at the door, and for a moment she felt touched by his gesture. However, that did not last as she quickly turned and headed to the next room.
Han caught up to her and added, “If you don’t like it, I will ask someone to overhaul the room again.”
Leah’s long eyelashes hid her disappointed look as she replied, “It’s not bad.”
Everything that Han was doing now reminded her of their first child.
Ever since moving into the villa in Rose Bay, Han would get off work on time and sometimes he would even leave work earlier.
Some employees had gathered outside the CEO’s office and they were engaged in some discussion, “It looks like Mr. Howard is in a good mood lately.”
Han’s good mood inadvertently raised the morale of the Howard Group. Everyone felt happier and looked forward more to work.
Everyone shot a questioning look at Ben.
Ben had a blank expression on his face, “I am not sure what is going on.”
As Han’s personal assistant, he was dutied with absolute secrecy about his employer’s private life. He would not dare to run his mouth and spread rumors about his boss behind his back.
Just when the others wanted to probe Ben further, the door of the CEO’s office flung open.
Han found Ben as he said, “Come with me.”
Ben complied and immediately followed him.
In the Rose Bay villa, Han was about to come out of his car when the doctor called him. The doctor informed him that Ron finally awakened.
Han immediately felt that he needed to let Leah know about this.
When Leah heard some noise at the door, she commented, “You’re back extra early today.”
The two of them had spent some time under one roof for a few days. Although Leah was no longer apprehensive toward him, she did not want to be overly friendly as well.
Han changed his shoes and sat down next to her, “Ron is awake.”
Leah froze and turned to stare at Han. She wanted to visit Ron.
“Cau you bring me to visit him?”
An ambiguous look appeared on his face as he replied, “Of course.”
Leah stared at this man in front of her in disbelief, “Aren’t you going to be mad if I do that?”
Since moving into the villa, she had never stepped out of the villa even once. She did not care about what was going on out there, and she did not even hear anything about Ron lately.
Han did not say anything to that. He took out a pair of shoes and kneeled down in front of Leah.
Leah retracted her feet instinctively, “I’ll wear them myself.”
Never in her dreams, she would expect the overbearing Han would help her wear her own shoes.

His phone wos silent for o moment, but it soon rong ogoin.
Everyone in the meeting room wos mointoining their silence, ond they were pretending to check on their documents. None of them dored to urge Hon to pick up his coll.
However, Han simply grabbed her feet and carefully eased her feet into those shoes.
“I need to get used to this anyway.”
He saw on the internet that as the months flew by, a pregnant woman’s belly would only increase in size. She would not be able to bend down as conveniently anymore.
Leah hesitated a little before saying her thanks.
By the time the two of them reached the hospital, it was already nighttime.
The nurse who was having her night shift stopped them outside the ward. She explained, “He has just woken up not too long ago, and he is still quite weak. It’s best if you just watch him out here.”
Leah watched the man lying in bed through the window of the ward.
The man was sleeping soundly, but there was a frown on his face. However, she could see that some colors had returned to his previously pale face.
Han looked away as he saw that Leah was looking at another man with such care and worry. He had to admit that he did not feel good about this.
However, he was always good at concealing his emotions. He simply stood behind Leah with a deadpan face that gave nothing away.
Han’s cold voice came from behind, “It’s getting late now. We should go back now.”
Leah turned her gaze at him, “I want to ask you for another favor. There is someone called George who used to be Ron’s underling. Can you help me search for him?”
George had been by Ron’s side for many years. It would be unlikely for him to just disappear into thin air. She always felt that something was not right about this.
Han frowned hard but in the end, he did not reject her. He nodded despite a scowl on his face.
Leah finally produced a smile, and she was smiling to the point that her eyes were pressed into two crescent moon shapes.
A look of contentment appeared on Han’s face as he commented, “This is the first time you’re smiling since a while ago. You should smile more because you really look good doing it.”
Leah was shocked. She almost could not believe that Han was actually praising her.
The moment Ron awakened, Leah finally did not need to live her life in constant trepidation every day.
In the Howard Group, Han was seated in his chair as he listened to his subordinates reporting to him. However, a ringing sound broke the silence.
He glanced at the name on the screen, and he frowned.
His phone was silent for a moment, but it soon rang again.
Everyone in the meeting room was maintaining their silence, and they were pretending to check on their documents. None of them dared to urge Han to pick up his call.
