Begging For A Reconciliation
Chapter 152

Chapter 152

Ian was frowning.

He knew Leah resented Sasha because Sasha disappeared and did not say a thing when Gordon died.That was why Leah thought Sasha had something to do with Gordon’s death and blamed her for it.

However…

Sasha saw Ian’s peculiar expression as if he was hesitating.

Sasha bit her lip and finally told Ian what she wanted. “Ian, that man will definitely catch me again. Canyou let me stay here for now? At least until after he gives up?”

Ian looked at Sasha. “But I will be married to Sarah soon.”

Sasha was crestfallen after she heard what Ian said. “I know, but I’m really out of options. If that guygets me again, I will surely die in his hands. Please, Ian, I’m begging you. If you take me in, I promise Iwon’t cause any trouble and won’t tell Sarah. Please?”

He still hesitated even after Sasha assured him.

Eventually, Sasha said hoarsely, “It’s alright, Ian, I understand. I won’t put you in a difficult spot. I’ll takecare of this myself. Sorry to bother you.”

Sasha turned and left.

Ian saw her limping and asked her, “What’s wrong with your leg?”

“I accidentally tripped and sprained my ankle,” Sasha replied while pouting.

He took a look at her leg. Sure enough, there was a huge lump on her ankle. Ian stared at it for a fewseconds and sighed. “Fine. Follow me in.”

Sasha grinned and went over to hold Ian’s hand. “You’re the best, Ian.”

Ian brought Sasha back to his mansion.

Mrs. Sanders had gone out with her friends and had not returned yet. The maid was the only one athome.

The maid was astounded when she saw Sasha. However, seeing Ian so calm, she did not sayanything.

Ian called the maid over. “Bring Sasha a clean change of clothes after she takes a bath. Also, give hersome ointment for her ankle.”

The maid went away to prepare.

Ian pinched the bridge of his nose and went up the stairs. Sasha immediately called him. “Where areyou going, Ian?”

“I’m going back to my room. I still have work to do.” Ian did not stop walking while he said that.

Sasha felt down seeing how Ian was purposely avoiding her, but her mood soon changed.

After taking a bath, the maid assisted Sasha in applying some ointment on her ankle.

The maid then guided Sasha to the guest room. “You may have a good night’s rest in this room, Ms.Sasha.”

Sasha had been to the Sanders mansion before, so she was familiar with every corner of the house.

She waited for the maid to leave, and walked over quietly to Ian’s room.

The door was not shut, so Sasha could see Ian working diligently. Sasha was infatuated when she sawthat.

Ian sensed something and raised his head. Their gazes met.

He noticed that Sasha was barefoot and asked, “Why aren’t you wearing your slippers?”

Sasha bit her lip and said. “I forgot.”

Ian sighed. “Go have some rest.”

Now that Ian had exposed her spying on him, Sasha might as well open the door and walk in. “I can’tsleep, Ian. How have you been for the past two years?”

He was bewildered. “I’ve been fine.”

“Weren’t you going to pursue medical science? Why did you take over the company? I can tell thatyou’re exhausted. Are you really happy?” Sasha asked worriedly.

Ian glared sternly at her. “It’s none of your business. If you keep asking these questions, I might changemy mind and kick you out.”

Sasha bit her lip. She did not expect Ian would loathe her this much.

She clenched her fists, but only for a few seconds.

“I understand, Ian. I’m sorry.” She smiled, turned around, and left the room.

Ian looked at her and frowned. He was beginning to regret taking Sasha in.

…

One week had passed.

Leah was working as usual throughout the week. Ben had prepared an office for her. Leah’s dailyroutine turned from goofing around to designing drafts.

That was better than seeing Han. At least Leah was happy.

Moreover, Leah was not prepared to meet Han.

The Howard Group building was massive. The chances for them to bump into each other waspractically zero unless it was intentionally planned.

Leah kept her promise and sent Han an invitation for her engagement banquet. However, she did notcare whether Han attended it.

That Saturday, at ten o’clock in the morning, Serena opened the dressing room door and saw Leah infront of the mirror. She complimented on Leah’s exquisite appearance. “They always say that a womanis the most beautiful on her wedding day. This is only your engagement, but you’re already drop-deadgorgeous.”

The stylists had done their job, so they excused themselves after seeing Serena enter the room.

“When is the engagement banquet?” Serena asked as she sat down on the sofa.

“Six o’clock, in the evening.” Leah said with a smile.

“We still have time. Have you eaten? I’ve brought some snacks for you.” Serena smuggled a smallpiece of cake out from her bag.

Leah was indeed hungry but rejected her offer. “Nah, I’ll have to change into that dress later on.”

“Aww, what a drag. If my engagement was this troublesome, I would skip it and go straight to themarriage,” Serena grumbled.

Leah smiled at Serena..

She had prepared her own engagement banquet herself, so everything must be perfect. However, shewas still worried, so she went over to the event planner to confirm the event flow and details.

While they were chatting, Ian stood up. “I’ll go check on Sarah.”

However, when he stood up, he suddenly felt his head spin. Everything turned pitch black and hepassed out.
