Chapter 330 Surging Undercurrent

After walking into that scene, Anna was a little dazed. She only snapped back to reality when Hancalled out to her. "Ethan, look at what Sarah shared with me today," she said as she approached himand wrapped her arms around his neck. "It's a family photo of them three happily together..." After walking into that scene, Anna was a little dazed. She only snapped back to reality when Hancalled out to her. "Ethan, look at what Sarah shared with me today," she said as she approached himand wrapped her arms around his neck. "It's a family photo of them three happily together..."

"I also really want to experience the romance and bliss of the common folk by going to the supermarketwith you!"

Anna smiled sweetly as she rested her head on Han's shoulder.

Han's eyes flashed with disgust as Anna engaged in intimate behavior with him, but he quickly coveredit up.

He hid it by getting up and going to the bookshelves to look through some documents. He was able toavoid her intimate acts without her noticing. "Is that so?" he asked. "You, on the other hand, were bornto be extraordinary. You have no reason to envy her."

His tone was so light that Anna couldn't tell what he was really thinking.

Only Han knew how offensive that photo was to him, and his surging rage nearly consumed his senseof logic.

Anna seemed unimpressed by his calm reaction and returned to his side, saying, "Ethan, after seeinghow happy their family is, I also want to have a baby with you..."

"Hello, what's the problem? Okay, I'll go over there now."

Han's phone call snuffed out her fantasies and made her feel like a damp squib. She always had theimpression that he didn't care about her, but she couldn't say anything.

After all, he'd already promised to marry her, and she didn't want to give him any reason to back down.

The night arrived early because of the cloudy, rainy weather. Even though it was only six o'clock, thesky was already dark.

While this was happening, the Dream Designs Studio dining area was filled with the enticing aroma offondue and the mellow scent of the wine.

Leah, Serena, and Shawn drank red wine, except for Lucy and Carlotta, who drank milk.

"Sarah, your cooking is still delectable. You've lost so much weight during this time. Here, have somemore meat." Shawn placed a large amount of meat on a small plate for her and pushed it in front of her.

Leah, on the other hand, simply smiled and nodded politely. "I appreciate it, but I'll just help myself. Ihaven't felt like eating meat lately. Serena can have them."

She pushed the meat Shawn had cooked for her toward Serena.

When Serena noticed Shawn's cold eyes on her, she felt a little stressed.

"I have other things I want to eat. You can have them," she said as she pushed the plate back towardLeah.

That plate of meat was never consumed in the end.

Shawn's eyes darkened and became colder as he realized he would make no progress if he continuedin this manner, so he found an excuse to leave.

He got back in his car and waited for his assistant, who was seated in the driver's seat, to report to him.

"Mr. Ford, the plan is ready to go anytime."

Shawn's gloomy expression lightened slightly when he heard that. With a meaningful smile, he saidslowly, "They've gotten their first order for interior design. When the first draft is finished, we'll begin..."

After noting the determined start time, the assistant went on to say, "They seemed to suspect Anna forSerena's kidnapping done by us."

Shawn's smile became increasingly morbid as he said, "This is by far the best. I believe Sarah willreturn to me once this plan is completed..."

Sarah, I'm sorry for using this method on you. She would never again rely on him for anything if hedidn't do it this way.

After Shawn left, Leah felt much more at ease.

Serena kept her emotions to herself as she shook her head helplessly. She then finished the wine inher glass in one gulp. Serena then said, "You. You should replace a man on whom you can rely on beingby your side."

Leah was speechless. Something dark then flashed across her eyes.

She didn't want to talk about it, so she took out a gift she had prepared and handed it to Serena, whowas slightly inebriated. "Please help me pass this gift on to Alfred," she said.

Serena jolted awake from her drunken stupor when she heard that name. "Why?" she enquired as shegazed at Leah in a daze.

She thought that the matter with Alfred was already done and dusted with. She had no idea she'd bringit up again.

Leah gave a small smile and explained, "It's been a month or so. Alfred's injury should have healed bynow. This is my way of saying thank you to him."

"How could I possibly be standing here today and have even opened up my studio if he hadn't doneeverything in his power to protect me back then?"

Serena's eyes were drawn to the expectant smile on her face, and it broke her heart. Her handstrembled while holding the wine glass as she suddenly felt cold. "Okay..."

When she saw that she had agreed, Leah breathed a sigh of relief and explained why she needed helppassing the gift.

"Han won't allow me to approach those close to him out of concern that I'll bring him bad luck, so I'mforced to bother you about this."

"I won't feel like I owe him anything as long as I get this gift to him. It helps me feel a little better, eventhough the gift is not comparable to him saving my life."

Serena took Leah's gift to Alfred the next day. She stopped Han outside of Lakeside Villa One.

"This is her gift to Alfred. I will leave it to you…"

She didn't say much and appeared to lack heart.

Han looked at the gift he was holding and suddenly felt like it weighed a thousand pounds as sheturned to leave.

"Alfred…"

Anna, who had just arrived, saw this scene with her own eyes, and when she heard that Leah hadgiven Alfred a gift, she exclaimed, "Doesn't she know Alfred is dead?"

She suddenly realized something when she saw Han's gloomy frown, and her eyes were filled withmorbid jealousy.

Ethan couldn't bring himself to tell her about Alfred's death! Was it out of fear that she would feel guiltyand hold herself responsible for his death?

If that was the case…

Anna had an inexplicable smile on her lips. She returned to her room and dialed Leah's number.

"I see you went to the trouble of passing the gift on to Alfred, Sarah."

When Leah heard her addressing her so affectionately, she arched her brows in disgust because shealready knew her true colors. "Well, I'm very grateful to him for saving me," she replied, her voiceremaining calm.

Upon hearing that, Anna's smile turned vicious, and her voice softened as she said, "I see. It appearsthat you are still unaware of Alfred's true situation."

Leah was taken aback by the regret and sympathy tinged in her words. "What situation?" she asked,her heart skipping a beat. "Didn't he get out of the hospital already?"

"Are you implying that his injury was severe and that he has yet to recover?"

"Do you know where he is being treated? Can you bring me to see him?"

Anna was amused by Leah's anxious questions and almost burst out laughing.

When she opened her mouth to speak again, she continued solemnly, "I know where, but..."

"He won't let me tell you, though. He said that you are…"

"Not worthy."

Leah felt like she had fallen into an ice hole when she heard the last two words, and her face turned aswhite as a sheet.

"Ms. Lancaster, Alfred is hurt because of me," she said, forcing the gloomy and jumbled thoughts fromher mind. "Could you please tell me which hospital he is in? I'd like to pay him a visit..."

After speaking that, she was afraid that Anna would not tell her, so she quickly added, "I'll merelyobserve him from a distance. I will never bother him!"

Anna was gleefully playing with her hair. She turned up her lips and said, "I see. Then I hope you'reready..."

Serene took Leeh's gift to Alfred the next dey. She stopped Hen outside of Lekeside Ville One.

"This is her gift to Alfred. I will leeve it to you…"

She didn't sey much end eppeered to leck heert.

Hen looked et the gift he wes holding end suddenly felt like it weighed e thousend pounds es sheturned to leeve.

"Alfred…"

"I see you went to the trouble of pessing the gift on to Alfred, Sereh."

When Leeh heerd her eddressing her so effectionetely, she erched her brows in disgust beceuse sheelreedy knew her true colors. "Well, I'm very greteful to him for seving me," she replied, her voiceremeining celm.
