Chapter 375 I Want a Baby Brother
Leah looked up at the man in a confused state when she heard his name and asked, "You're Hendrik?"
Was it Hendrik who had befriended her?
"If not?"
Leah paused as she studied the mask on his face with a puzzled expression. "What's your relationship
with Shawn?" she inquired.
She might as well ask her questions now that he had appeared before her.
There must be a reason Shawn was so determined to find him!
"I have nothing to do with him," the man said nonchalantly.
Leah had never heard this person's voice before, but something about it felt strangely familiar,
especially the faint scent coming from Hendrik's body. The scent was uncannily similar to the one Han
always wore.
She suddenly had the ridiculous thought that they might be the same person.
However, she was quick to dismiss that theory.
Unlike Hendrik who was so gentle, Han would do everything he could to torment her. Even though they
both had a cold demeanor, Hendrik would always answer her questions patiently, console her, and
encourage her to always look forward.
"Thank you for saving me. I should go back." Leah gave her heartfelt thanks.
She did not expect him to show up in Linkville only to save her yet again.
He was the hero as portrayed in the movies, always appearing to save the leading female character.
She staggered away from Hendrik, wanting to leave, but her arms were immediately grabbed. When
her skin came into contact with his touch, the familiar sensation sent tingles to the base of her skull.
Helpless, Leah had no choice. She turned around with a smile on her face and asked, "Is there
anything else?"
Hendrik dragged her downstairs to the dining area and told her, "Eat first before you go."
A table of exquisite dishes greeted her, most of which were her favorites.
Leah was shocked to the core. "How do you know I like to eat these?" she asked, her gaze fixed on
Hendrik's mask.
"If I set my mind to think, I would know," Hendrik replied as he sat her on the seat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe didn't eat. He just sat there quietly, watching Leah eat.
He wouldn't let her go until she was done eating. "We're still in Linkville. A car is waiting outside to take
you back," he explained.
Leah stood in front of Hendrik with a serious expression as he turned to walk away. "There's something
I'd like to know," she said.
She moved closer to him, almost touching him.
"What is it?" Hendrik asked, his brows slightly furrowed beneath the mask.
"Come a little closer," Leah said, motioning for him to lower his head.
Hendrik complied but didn't say anything, as if he had read her mind.
Leah gave him a long look, then slowly said, "I want to know who is behind this mask…"
She reached out and grabbed his mask to remove it before she had even finished speaking.
A slender hand, however, reached out and grabbed her hand. On both hands, Hendrik wore black
suede gloves similar to those of noblemen. Even though the gloves were on, Leah could feel his
sweltering body heat.
"Don't be so impatient. When I get a chance, I'll show you." Hendrik's cold voice had a playful tone to it.
Leah blushed and pulled her hand back with embarrassment. She immediately followed up with, "I'm
sorry. Are we still friends?"
She always felt that Hendrik was not as terrifying as people had made him out to be, even if they had
only been texting back and forth over the phone.
Now that she had seen him, she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe as she stood beside
him.
He'll definitely get angry at this stupid stunt I've pulled…
"As long as you desire our friendship." Hendrik released her hand after saying that.
Leah exhaled a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, saying, "Thank you for always helping me! See you
next time!"
She hurried away after waving goodbye to him.
Serena was probably worried sick when she vanished so suddenly.
He didn't remove the mask until she faded away into the distance.
Han's heart was racing as he remembered her smile from earlier.
It had been a long time since he had seen her smile so freely without having to keep her guard up.
He wanted to see more of that for no apparent reason.
The advantages brought about by this Hendrik personality appeared to be far greater than he could
have imagined…
Serena had been doing well in her recovery. Ten days flew by, and she was back at the studio.
On the day Serena was discharged from the hospital, Leah had made special arrangements for
everyone working in the studio to take the day off to celebrate with a meal together and some
downtime.
In the morning, everyone was discussing where to go.
"Let's go to Ocean City, Sarah! We can watch the great white sharks and dolphins perform!"
"Why not go to an amusement park instead, Sarah? Let me play with your daughter..." Serena
approached Leah with a mischievous grin.
Leah arched her brows a little and said, "Carlotta is with Han. You'll have to tell Han about it."
She couldn't have Carlotta whenever she wanted anymore, let alone lend her to Serena to play with.
Serena felt put out. She pouted and grumbled, "Why don't you have another baby with somebody else
so I can play with them?"
Everyone in the office felt the air had grown heavy as soon as the words were spoken.
They all shuddered as if they had been preyed on by a dangerous beast.
Following their line of sight, Leah turned her head but was startled to see Han staring back at her with
his cold, deep gaze.
A cute little girl was standing next to him.
"Mommy!" Carlotta ran over with a smile as soon as she saw Leah.
Leah hugged her tight and smiled in relief as she noticed her face had a healthy blush and fuller
cheeks.
"Carlotta, what makes you want to play at Mommy's today?"
After giving her a terse response, Carlotta turned to Leah and said, "Mommy, Aunt Serena just said that
she wants you to make her another baby so she can play with it. With which Daddy are you going to
have the baby?"
Leah was at a loss for words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow could this kid have asked such a question in public?
It gave the impression that she was promiscuous…
Serena was the first to burst out laughing, and she quickly snatched Carlotta over. Next, she
questioned, "Carlotta, which daddy do you prefer?"
She had asked a very dangerous question, and for a moment, Leah felt nervous for herself.
She didn't want to see Carlotta say something stupid in front of Han because if Han got angry, he'd only
target her…
"Of course it's this daddy..." Carlotta's eyes sparkled with wit. "How about this?" she asked, switching
her gaze between Leah and Han. "I'll join Aunt Serena and the others for some fun."
"Daddy and Mommy can spend time together, and while at it, take advantage of the chance to quickly
make me a baby brother to play with..."
Leah immediately objected, saying, "No, we're all having fun together..."
"Good." Han's cold voice cut her off.
Leah looked at him in disbelief right away. Although she made a slight movement with her lips as she
prepared to speak, she ultimately decided not to ask the question she was thinking of.
Forget it. He's probably already come up with a plan to torture me.
Serena wasted no time in acting after a decision had been made. She brought Carlotta and a few other
coworkers to Ocean City.
Han took Leah away, and nobody knew where he was going.
She experienced a sharp chill as she gazed at the vibrant autumn scenery out the window. Lucy called
as she pulled her jacket tighter around her.
"Ms. White, I've heard you guys are going to go play together today..."
Leah nodded, sadness flashing across her eyes. She responded, "We are, indeed. How…are you
doing at the Fords'?"
She couldn't help but be concerned.
Lucy was exposed as an undercover agent, and no one knew how Shawn planned to punish her,
especially given his nature.
Her concern moved Lucy, and tears welled up in her eyes. She replied, "I'm fine, but Ms. White, I hope
none of you go out to play today. Stay at home. Jackson appears to be plotting something against you
behind Mr. Shawn's back..."
