Chapter 427 Acting
The corridor was in silence. A maid wanted to deliver breakfast to Leah, but Shawn stopped her.
He looked at the door coldly as if he was looking at Leah inside the room through it. The conversation
inside continued.
Leah answered Serena's question, "Yes, I took advantage of Han. After all, he is Carlotta's biological
father. If Carlotta gets hurt again, she must rely on him to provide blood. Han had fainted after donating
blood to Carlotta the night before, and Ben asked me to take him home and care for him overnight. I
didn't want to offend Han too much, but Shawn might disagree with me, so I found an excuse and went
to his villa. Han would be dissatisfied if I quarreled with Shawn about this matter."
Leah's soft voice seemed particularly helpless.
Serena also sighed when she heard the subtle breathing outside the door. She continued, "Wouldn't it
be more suspicious to sneak past like that? There is nothing between you and Han. Won't Mr. Ford be
angrier if he knows about it?"
After finishing her set lines, Serena felt frustrated.
Sarah is indeed carrying out a big plan, and the most important thing for the success of this plan is
Shawn's trust in her. Sarah has endured so much, and I can only help her to cheat Shawn.
Serena was now acting with Leah for Shawn outside the door as Lucy told Leah that Shawn might have
known about Leah's going to Han's villa. So, Leah and Serena had to act in a conversation to regain
his trust.
Of course, Leah knew Shawn was already listening outside the door. She clenched her hands and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanswered Serena softly, "So I plan to confess this matter to Shawn later. Whether he believes it or not,
I only take Han's advantage to protect Carlotta when she gets injured in the future..."
Shawn had heard their conversation outside the door. He was angry, but he could understand Leah's
efforts as a mother.
He adjusted his mood, then entered the room with a faint smile."Sarah, I believe in you."
Leah looked at him in shock and touch. "Really?"
In fact, she was not surprised. People always believed what they overheard.
Even if Shawn was a strong businessman, he had the human essence.
Leah defused her crisis skillfully.
Fortunately, Lucy reminded her in advance, so she could call Serena early in the morning to help her.
They had breakfast together, then returned to the studio to visit Carlotta.
Since Carlotta was out of danger, she stayed on the upper floor of the studio. Leah had hired a private
doctor to provide care and treatment to Carlotta.
Carlotta saw that Serena had brought Leah over. Carlotta was so happy that she wanted to jump off the
bed. "Mommy! Uncle Shawn! You're finally here!"
Seeing Carlotta's movements, Leah panicked and rushed over to pin her on the bed. "Carlotta, the
wound on your leg hasn't healed yet. You can't do such a big movement!"
Meanwhile, Shawn frowned slightly because of his address but quickly controlled his expression. He
came to the bed with a warm smile. "Carlotta, why do you still call me uncle?"
Carlotta, who was about to act cute, was dazed upon hearing Shawn's question.
When Carlotta spent time with Han, she accepted him as her father. Now if she had to call Shawn
daddy again, she felt weird calling Shawn like that.
Carlotta carefully glanced at Leah and found no reaction from Leah. Soon, Carlotta remembered what
Serena had taught her. She smiled and answered Shawn, "After you marry Mommy, I'll call you Daddy
again!"
Aunt Serena is thoughtful! She told me how to deal with these problems!
Shawn naturally did not speculate much about a child's mind but helplessly rubbed her soft hair. "You
clever girl!"
Everyone stayed with Carlotta until noon, and Shawn received a text message from Anna.
"I've investigated Ethan's itinerary. Bring them here when you're ready. This plan is related to our
happiness. I hope you can act well then!"
Seeing Anna's rude attitude, Shawn looked dissatisfied. But even so, he could not displease Anna.
After all, Ford Group had relied on the news of Leah, and the stock market had only recovered.
As Shawn had not completed his plan, Ford Group could not dominate Linkville yet. It was not suitable
for him to have many enemies, especially the princess of a country. It was enough to teach Anna a
lesson once in a while.
Serena glanced at the time and was about to cook. "Sarah, you can continue to stay with Carlotta. After
I prepare the meals, I'll ask you to eat together..."
"No, please eat by yourself. Remember to take care of Carlotta. Sarah is going out to eat with me."
Shawn interrupted Serena. He walked up to Leah and held her hand.
Leah endured shaking his hand away and asked puzzledly, "Why? We're already here. Why don't we
eat together here?"
Shawn smiled slightly. "Did you forget? We have to choose the wedding dress after dinner. Didn't we
haven't choose one last time?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeah was silent for a moment, and Serena also frowned slightly. After a while, Leah nodded in
agreement. "Okay."
Leah broke free from Shawn's hand when bidding farewell to Carlotta.
Although Carlotta was very reluctant for Leah to leave so early, she also knew that Leah was an adult
with a busy schedule, so she agreed sensibly. "Okay, Mommy. You can go out to eat with Uncle Shawn.
Aunt Serena will care for me. It doesn't matter."
Carlotta's overly sensible always made Leah's heart pain, and her eyes were full of tears.
She hugged Carlotta's small and soft body and kissed her soft cheek. "Good girl, we can live together
after I finish my work."
"Okay!"
Dark clouds blocked the sun, and the sky darkened again. The dry cold wind constantly blew across
the city and took away the last vitality.
Leah opened the car window. She let the cold wind blow on her body to decrease her body
temperature bit by bit.
Her eyes showed sadness. When she felt the biting coldness, the guilt toward Carlotta and Serena
seemed to have eased in her heart.
The next second, Shawn closed the car window. He hugged Leah and made her lean into his arms.
"Sarah, you're not in good health. If you're exposed to the wind, you may catch a cold again." Shawn's
embrace was not like Han's. It did not make her feel comfortable and at ease.
"I'm fine. By the way, don't you have to go to the laboratory today?" Leah got out of his arms and
changed the topic.
When mentioning this matter, Shawn seemed to be in a good mood. "The experiment is going well, so
there is nothing I need to be busy with. If you're curious, I can take you to visit there in two days."
