Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Han tormented Leah relentlessly. His bottomless lust could make him go on and on until the next day.

“Stop crying, Leah.“ was the last thing he said.

It was either Leah’s hallucination or Han was just babbling.

Han finally let go of Leah around two o’clock in the morning and fell into slumber. Leah’s throat was hoarse, and her body could barely move from all this suffering.

Seeing that Han had fallen asleep, Leah quickly grabbed her clothes and scuttled out of the room.

Leah ran into someone after running a few steps away from the room, but she did not raise her head. She wiped away her tears while replying with a croaky voice “Sorry.”, and left in a hurry.

Shawn looked at her frightened reaction and realized she was the woman he met in the corridor.

Leah’s swollen eyes indicated that she just cried. Her clothes were messed up and a few conspicuous red marks could be noticed on her neck.

Shawn was contemplating as he put on his glasses to take a better look at her.

The next day, Han woke up with a headache. He rubbed his face trying to recall what happened last night.

Han remembered that he got drunk and wanted to return to his room. After that, it was very surreal.

Han flipped over his blanket and pondered the question “Who was it?”

Although Han was unconscious last night, he could feel that something was not right.

After washing up, Han went to the foyer to meet up with Jackson and others. Everyone was having their breakfast.

Jackson smirked while asking his daughter, “How was it last night?”

Molly was startled and blushed immediately. “Daddy. Don’t be so straightforward.”

“I won’t be qualified as your dad if I don’t know what you’re thinking.” Jackson shook his head.

Molly was shy and replied softly, “He did it…now there is no reason for Han to leave me. You can hand this project to him, Daddy.”

“Heh. You really are something.” Jackson sighed and saw Han with a stern face walking toward them.

Han’s demeanor was intimidating. He did not even glance at Molly as he sat down beside Jackson.

“Is everything alright? What’s with that look, someone got on your nerves?” asked Jackson, glaring at Han.

Han scratched his head “Nothing, I didn’t sleep well last night.”

Molly blushed again after listening to his words.

“You came at the right time, I’ve got something to tell you.” Jackson smiled. By the looks of it, Jackson and Molly had arrived at the same understanding.

Shawn overheard their conversation right when he wanted to open the curtains. Shawn subconsciously stopped and sneaked behind the curtains.

“What is it?” Han asked.

“I’ve had a discussion with the head of secretary and unanimously agreed on giving the development consent to you. As for Eden’s Court, Saintville will suffice and there is no need for a further development to Linkville.” Jackson grinned while pouring tea for himself.

Han was stunned.

After that, he nodded his head slowly. “Okay.”

Jackson knew that Han always had a long face so he continued the conversation “The documents should be ready by the time we get back to Linkville. You can undertake the development project for the hotel afterward.”

Han looked over to Molly. “I’ll be quite busy after this project starts.”

Molly quickly waved her hand. “It’s alright, I can wait. Your career is more important than this.”

Molly was not worried that Han might not marry her since they already spent the night together. It also helped portrayed Molly as a considerate and kind lady.

Not only was Han not relieved by what she said, he frowned because he was frustrated by Jackson and Molly’s capricious behavior. They changed their decision only after a day.

Shawn, sneaking behind the curtains, was infuriated and clenched his fists. That old geezer! I have spent such effort buttering him up, but he still gave the authority to Han.

Shawn took a deep breath. He swore not to let Han get away with this.

Han finished his breakfast and wanted to get some rest in his room. Right after he got up and turned away, Molly called him, “Han.”

Han halted his footsteps and turned around. “Yes?”

Molly went over and whispered, “About last night…”

Han’s eyes dilated with astonishment and grabbed Molly by her shoulder. “What about it?”

Molly was shocked by Han’s grim expression.

“You and I last night, we…” Molly shyly lowered her head.

Han’s mind was blown by this shocking information. The lady last night was Molly?

The inconceivable look on Han’s face worried Molly “Han, you wouldn’t want to run away from this, right? I am already yours.”

Han gave Molly a perplexed look and stared at her into the eyes. As time passed, he finally came to his senses. “No.”

Molly heaved a sigh of relief and hugged Han. “I knew it. You have feelings for me, and we’ll be together forever, right?”

Molly’s infatuation with Han pervaded the atmosphere. Han was feeling uncomfortable as his body stiffened, he wanted to push Molly away. However, he was just having thoughts only.

“We will.” said Han.

Han whispered to himself again, as though trying to convince himself.“We will.”

…

In the afternoon, Molly was walking to the back of the foyer, and she met Sullivan at the cloister on her way there.

It reminded Molly about the incident between Sullivan and Leah yesterday.

“Mr. Simmons,” she shouted.

Sullivan turned around and grinned. “It’s you, Molly.”

“Mr. Simmons, about the violinist you mentioned yesterday, is she Sarah White?” Molly asked.

Sullivan did not know what she was up to, but he nodded anyway.

“I see, you’ve already decided,” said Molly, which intrigued Sullivan.

Sullivan noticed her peculiar tone and asked, “Is everything okay?”

“Everything’s fine. It’s just that Sarah’s reputation in Linkville is quite notorious,” Molly said with a smile.
