"Let me feed Carlotta. You eat first."

Shawn looked gentle. During the past few days, he did not rest well when locked up in the taxdepartment. He seemed tired.

Leah pulled back by impulse. She had known the truth. Carlotta's closeness to Shawn had been amistake, and she could not let it continue.

She smiled and replied, "No, I'll feed Carlotta. You eat first. Tonight is your welcome home banquet. Ican't bother you to feed Carlotta."

Shawn saw all of Leah's reactions.

Is she avoiding me for this reason? Or for some other reason?

Shawn stared at Leah and asked, "You just don't want to bother me?"

Leah showed a hint of unnaturalness. "Yeah."

Leah felt a little embarrassed. She always felt a gap between her and Shawn after knowing the truth.

"Okay."

Shawn withdrew his gaze and started to eat the meal. While eating dinner, Leah and Shawn did not talk

except for Carlotta's babbling.

After dinner, Leah handed Carlotta to Lucy and told Lucy not to come down no matter what she hearddownstairs.

Lucy was puzzled, and when she was about to ask, she received a sharp look from Leah.

It was the first time she saw Leah like that. She was startled and nodded hastily.

Looking at Leah sitting on the sofa, Shawn took the initiative to speak. "Do you have something to tellme?"

Leah did not hide anything. She said straight to the point, "I want to move out with Carlotta."

She owed Han, and she had to pay it back after all.

When Carlotta's condition was better, she would take Carlotta out of Linkville and start over in a newplace without anyone knowing.

Shawn's expression darkened, and his dark eyes stared at Leah closely. I only went out for a few days.How could she have changed her mind so quickly?

Shawn knew well who made Leah change her mind. It must be Han!

Shawn clenched his hands, and his veins bulged on his forehead. "Why?"

Leah raised her head with steady eyes. "Carlotta isn't your daughter."

Leah did not know why Shawn kept Carlotta and her on his side, especially since he knew the truth.She did not think Shawn would tolerate having an unrelated daughter.

Shawn did not care at all. "So what? I already regard Carlotta as my daughter."

Before Carlotta was born, he thought he would not like her. But after seeing Carlotta's soft eyes, Shawnfelt his heart soften instantly. He even felt that as long as Leah was willing not to reveal the truth, hecould take care of them for the rest of their lives.

Leah got up and looked at Shawn gently. "Thank you for taking care of us these two years. Shawn, wecan still be friends."

They could not be husband and wife, but they could be friends. It was Leah's definition of herrelationship with Shawn.

"Do you know what you're saying? I won't agree!" Shawn got up from the sofa and roared.

As long as he refused, Leah could not even think about leaving his side.

Leah said with difficulty, "I'm sorry."

Shawn grabbed Leah's arm with uncontrollable anger in his eyes. "Do you know what you're saying? Isit that you can't wait to leave me as soon as Han shows up? Huh?"

Two years ago, he could ruin everything about Han and make Han disabled. He could do the same to

Han again.

Leah endured the pain and did not push Shawn away. "It's not like that."

Shawn gritted his teeth and did not hide the hostility on his face. "Believe it or not? I can leave Han withnothing and make him cripple again!"

When Shawn mentioned Han, the sternness in his eyes became more.

Leah did not know what had happened to Shawn and Han before. Although they had endless hatred, ithad nothing to do with her.

Meanwhile, Lucy heard the quarrel downstairs. She could not help but feel a little worried.

In the two years since Leah came to the Ford family, Shawn had always been polite to Leah and neversaid anything harsh, let alone a quarrel like today.

Lucy frowned and sat on the ground while holding Carlotta.

Carlotta looked up as if feeling something, and when she looked up, she saw Lucy frowning. "AuntyLucy, what's wrong with you?"

Carlotta was still young. She could only understand other people's emotions and did not understandanything else.

Lucy carefully placed Carlotta on the ground. Then, she got up and closed the door.

It's better not to let Carlotta know about the quarrel between Ms. White and Mr. Shawn.

In her mind, Lucy had thought of Leah and Shawn as Carlotta's mother and father.

In the living room downstairs, Leah and Shawn were still at loggerheads.

Leah frowned. "You hurt me."

Only then did Shawn realize that some red marks had covered her fair and tender arm. He let go of herand sat on the sofa as if emptying all his strength.

Leah said, "If you miss Carlotta, you can always come to see her."

Shawn sneered. No matter what he did or said, he could not keep Leah anymore. He could not stay aperson who wanted to leave.

Leah patted Shawn's shoulder comfortingly, then turned and went upstairs.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lucy hurriedly got up and looked at Leah at the door worriedly.

"Ms. White, what's wrong with you and Mr. Shawn?"

"Nothing." Leah quickly controlled her emotions.

Lucy instantly felt relieved. "That's good." But what Leah said next shocked her even more.

"Lucy, I'll take Carlotta out of the Ford family's villa. Are you willing to follow me?"

Lucy helped her to take care of Carlotta since Carlotta was born. Leah could not imagine a life withoutLucy.

Lucy shouted in surprise, "Ms. White, you want to leave!"

She thought there was nothing wrong between Leah and Shawn, but she did not expect Leah to moveout!

"Ms. White, why? Did Mr. Shawn make you unhappy? There will always be quarrels between youngcouples. It will be fine soon."

Lucy was persuading Leah. She did not want Leah to move from the Ford family's villa.

Leah rubbed her forehead and explained, "Shawn and I aren't a couple. If you want to follow, pack yourthings and go with me. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"Ms. White, I'm willing to follow you, but..." Lucy did not finish her sentence, and Leah knew her worry.

After all, Lucy was a maid of the Ford family, and Leah needed Shawn's consent to take Lucy away.

"Don't worry. Go pack the things." Leah hugged Carlotta. After coaxing Carlotta, she started to pack upwith Lucy.

When they finished packing their things, it was already late at night.
