Chapter 292 On Purpose
Leah knew that she was no one compared to Anna. How could she have the audacity to harm her?
She looked down awkwardly and wanted to tell Han she had no ill intentions toward Anna. Perhaps it was their last chance to see each other in close proximity.
However, Han would never believe her, so she felt that it was useless to explain too much.
Leah pierced her lips, trying to hide her emotions, "Sure, what happened today was a coincidence."
Before Han could say something, she said, "If you mind, I can leave now."
Han's face turned even darker in response to Leah, which totally changed the atmosphere.
He hated her to the extent that he refused to have dinner with her.
Leah sensed the atmosphere was different but she did not know what she had done wrong. She raised her head and looked him in the eyes. Just as she was going to explain, Anna came back.
"They don't have a bigger room." Anna shrugged.
"If that's the case, I shall leave." Leah quickly added on.
No one wanted their date to be interrupted by an intruder, and she bet that Han thought the same too.
She felt that she was being rude for overstepping the boundary. So, She swore that she would not get herself landed in such a situation anymore, let alone mess with Han.
Anna grabbed Leah before Leah could run off, "Don't go."
"Well, since you're here, I think it's impolite of me to let you leave with an empty stomach."
As she was speaking, she pushed Leah to the private dining room.
Leah's body turned as stiff as wood as she stood at the entrance.
Anna could sense her reluctance and awkwardness, "I hope you don't mind, Ms. White."
Anna still managed to put on a bright smile on her face.
"No, my bad." Leah shook her head.
She was only worried that Han was not comfortable with her interrupting their date.
After much contemplation, she explained, "I wouldn't wish to ruin your date."
"It's fine. Ethan and I always go on dates!"
"Ethan promised to take care of me forever." She let out a mischievous and looked at Han affectionately.
The truth was, Han did say that, but it was just a promise to Anna's father, not to her.
He frowned and let out an impatient look. However, the next second, he reached out his big, warm hand and held Anna in his arm, and looked at Anna affectionately.
"Yes, you're right," he said.
Leah bit her lip, trying to hold her tears.
I guess this is how heartbreak feels like…it's so painful.
Leah was defeated and agreed to join them for a meal.
The servers began serving dishes when they sat at the dining table. Leah glanced at the food and realized they were all Han's favorites. She realized that Anna took care of him very well.
"Bon appetite!" Anna scooped a shrimp and put it on Leah's plate.
"Thank you."
Leah then chewed on the food slowly.
That Japanese restaurant was the most famous in town, and it was notoriously difficult to make reservations. Only the affluent could afford to go there. They only served expensive and high-quality ingredients to cater to customers' liking. Despite eating scrumptious food, she felt like she was just chewing on rubber, and all the food was tasteless.
Han glanced at Leah coldly and took some food for Anna. He even poured tea for her.
"You kept mentioning that you want to drink this tea. I guess you finally got what you want now." He spoke in a monotone voice.
The dinner was torture to Leah. She felt extremely relieved when it was finished. She swore to herself that she would not simply go out alone again.
Leah let out a forceful smile and bid goodbye to Anna politely, "Thanks for inviting me, goodbye."
However, Anna has another idea.
"Wait a minute, let me use your phone."
Before Leah could react, Anna snatched her phone and dialed her number on the screen with her long and slim fingers.
"As you can see, this is my number. You're my only friend in Linkville. We should hang out some other time."
After taking back her phone, she subconsciously glanced at Han as she did not know how to react.
Han will hate me for constantly appearing in her life.
"I'm quite busy most of the time…" Leah replied faintly.
Perhaps she replied too faintly, which Anna totally ignored her and switched topics.
"How about we let Ethan send you back?"
"It's fine. I drove here."
Anna's suggestion caused panic in Leah. She quickly took out her car key to prove that she really drove there.
Han frowned, looking at Leah's figure as she was leaving. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Out of the blue, a slender figure appeared from the corner, and a manly voice was heard.
"Why didn't you tell me that you're here alone?"
Leah looked up surprisedly and locked eyes with Shawn's soft gaze.
She turned her body, preventing contact with him.
At the same moment, Han's gaze turned cold.
Anna was unaware of Han's sudden change of expression and pulled him to the front by grabbing his sleeve.
"Mr. Ford is here! Let's greet him."
Shawn smirked and held Leah tightly in his arms without her permission.
"Ms.Lancaster, what a coincidence!" Shawn said.
" We just had dinner with Ms. White. No wonder she refused to let Ethan send her back. I wasn't aware that you were here to pick her up!"
Anna looked at Leah with envy. She had known Ethan for two years and had been together for quite some time. However, Ethan was always playing hard to get and rarely cared for her voluntarily.
So, Anna has always been envious of people who have affectionate and loving boyfriends. She has been convincing herself that that was his personality because she loved Ethan so much.
"Yes, I didn't know both of you are here," Shawn replied.
Leah tried to escape from his embrace and gave up when Shawn shot her a look.
"Well, it's late now. Carlotta is waiting for us at home, we should go now."
Shawn then walked towards the exit with Leah in his arms, he even intentionally slowed down his pace.
Han stared at them as they leave, he could not help but feel jealous.
In the car, Shawn squinted his eyes and stepped on the accelerator.
"Was that on purpose?"
"What do you mean?"
She was confused as she did not know what he was talking about.
"Didn't you deliberately appear in front of him today? Planning to rekindle the relationship?" Shawn asked sarcastically while staring at Leah.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, she was just there to shop and relax.
