Chapter 471 Unplanned Marriage proposal
The roaring wind outside was muffled by the windows.
Serena shut the windows and approached Leah, “Sarah, do you suspect that the Ravensong organization has anything to do with Anna?”Her face was dour.
But the ancient… family sect was never dictated by any force.
“It’s possible because Anna despised me so much. I don’t know who would kill me other than her.” Leah nodded.
“I’m not sure how they controlled the Ravensong. Please make sure you are not alone for now on and keep your spirits up.”
Leah was unfazed that the Ravensong were after her. What she was afraid of was that they would attack the people around her.
Ben nodded and agreed, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Howard. Ms. Coleman will be safe with me.”
His seriousness on the matter and forceful words made Serena flushed. She swallowed back her words back into her stomach.
With his life on the line, he truly intended to protect her.
I recall Ben being injured by the Ravensong that night, as you mentioned the poison. How come he wasn’t poisoned?”
Ben was also perplexed by Serena’s question, “It appears to be, why am I not poisoned?”
Leah made an excuse as she put her hand in her pocket calmly, and went, “Maybe you are lucky, or maybe they didn’t use the most poisonous daggers at night for fear of hurting their people.”
She had lied.
Although Ben and Serena noticed something odd about it, they never really gave it much thought.
No being poisoned was a blessing in misfortune.
When Han arrived at the ward, he overheard her lie. His face was tense, and he clenched his fist tightly to keep his rage at bay.
“Let’s head home.” He entered the wards and comforted Ben for his injury. He then exited with Leah.
Ben and Serena didn’t notice his forbearance and cold murderous eyesight. They were both flabbergasted by this sweet couple leaving while holding hands.
“Their relationship appears to be improving.” Ben was gratified.
“I believe so.” Serena returned her thoughtful gaze to Ben, saying,“You should go check on your boss someday and to see if they plan to get married!”
“Sure.” Ben was taken aback by her casual conversation with him and smiled softly.
Serena was lost in thought when she saw Ben's smile. Ben usually had a rigid expressionless face.
“You should take a break. I will take good care of you as a token of my gratitude for saving me.” She pulled back to reality and blushed as she sat on the sofa.
Serena couldn't get his good-looking smiley face out of her head.
In Villa Victoria.
Leah and Han had lunch with Charlotte and then played games with her before she went to sleep. They then returned to the room.
“Leah.” Han slammed her against the closed door.
His lips were pressing against hers, causing her cheeks to flush slightly.
“What’s the matter? Thank you, by the way, for having my back.” She changed the subject to ease the ambiguous atmosphere.
She was referring to the acquisition of 02 Conglomerate that took place today.
“I told you I didn’t want you to thank me. I have a gift for you.” Han leaned over and bit her rosy lips, almost as if to punish her.
He didn't like how she was always polite.
Leah covered her mouth in pain, recalling that he had promised her a gift after the competition.
“Allow me to sit over there first if you want to give me a gift... ”
If you truly want to give a gift, you don't have to be so ambiguous.
It caused her heart to race.
Han remained motionless. He had just taken a beautiful jewelry box from his pocket.
The jewelry box contained a set of high-quality ruby jewelry, including a necklace, bracelet, and ring.
“If you want to give me a gift, let me sit over there first…”
You don’t have to be so ambiguous if you truly want to give a gift.
It made her heart beat faster.
Han didn’t move. He just took out an exquisite jewelry box from his pocket.
In the jewelry box was a set of top quality ruby jewelry, a necklace, bracelet and ring.
“Is this Poppy?” Leah exclaimed when she saw the jewelry. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
It was the illustrious aristocratic brand, which only produced one set of limited jewelry per year.
And this set of jewelry, Poppy, was their winter limited edition this year.
This amounted to at least a few hundred million.
“It’s just a competition, why give such a costly item?” Leah was grudgingly.
She was depressed, thinking that she still owed him five billion but he could spend a few hundred million in just a second.
Of course, people's joys and sorrows do not appear to be linked
"It has nothing to do with the competition, it's to commemorate our reunion," Han said gently, rubbing her brows and eyes with his round fingertips.
His words caused her heart to skip a beat for no apparent reason
This requisite ceremony moment a sense of occasion inexplicably struck the softest part of her heart.
His moves proved that he was serious about getting back together with her, and that he valued their relationship this time.
Saw Leah kept quiet, Han set aside the jewelry box and took out the ring, which he placed on her fingers.
“How about we get married?”
Han, who had always been calm and cold-blooded, was trembling nervously.
His warm hand gradually became cold at the fingertips.
He was nervous as he awaited Leah's response.
His unexpected marriage proposal numbed Leah's heart and sent an electric current through her limbs and bones.
“I…”, She stared blankly at the attractive man in front of her. She appeared to have lost her words, and was unable to speak.
She adored him, but the needle in her heart had not yet been removed, and they had only been a couple for a short time. So, she didn’t want to be too overjoyed.
“I…I’m sorry, babe. I can’t do it right now…” She lowered her gaze for an extended period of time.
Han’s heart froze when she replied.
His knuckles turned white, and went, “Why…don’t you give me a chance?”
He wished Leah had given him the opportunity to make amends for his mistakes over the years.
Han was not as energetic, astute or as cunning as he had been previously. His expression…rattled.
At the time, he was just a man who had been hurt by love.
The whitish sunlight was once again blocked by clouds, and a dry cold wind blew up in the city.
Clouds obscured the whitish sunlight once more, and a dry cold wind blew through the city.
Han's words had a hurtful meaning for Leah as well.
She took a deep breath and hugged him. She buried her head in his cool chest, her red eyes hidden.
“Give me a little more time, babe…”
She would be able to truly accept the fact that they restart their relationship from the bottom of her heart in a short time.
She still needed some time to confirm their mutual sincerity.
