Hunting for His EX-Wife

At that moment, Elliot opened the door and heard Leah’s words. The man’s eyes darkened, his eyebrows furrowed, and a low voice came from his lips. “What did you say?”

Leah was startled by her father’s voice and immediately realized she had slipped up. She tightly covered her mouth with her small hand.

Shawn frowned even more tightly and asked in a deep voice, “What did you just say?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Leah shook her head and turned around to quickly run back to her room. She felt her heart beating fast. She almost let it slip that she had brothers to their terrible father.

Thankfully, she left in time.

Shawn stood still watching the little sister run away with confusion in his eyes. Why did she suddenly run away? Was she afraid of their father?

Just as he was puzzled, Elliot standing at the study door narrowed his eyes suspiciously towards the direction Leah ran off to.

Did that little girl just mention having brothers?

The man pursed his lips into a line as the temperature around him dropped several degrees…

The next day in the garden…

Leah held onto her hair clip with a smile on her face as she said, “Sean, do you know who replaced Khalil to talk about cooperation with that jerk?”

“Who?” Sean already knew it was Daddy Ingram who replaced Khalil but still asked for confirmation.

Sure enough, when Leah heard Sean’s question over the phone line, there was an uncontrollable increase of joy on her smiling face. “Daddy Ingram is here! I haven’t seen him for so long but finally got to see him.”

Sean exclaimed upon hearing this news, “Daddy Ingram actually came over?”

In fact, Khalil had told him earlier that Daddy Ingram would come over later to talk about cooperation with Shawn..

At that time he fully supported Khalil’s decision because he liked Daddy Ingram not only because he took care of them so tenderly all these years but also because Daddy Ingram understood Mommy too!

Daddy Ingram wouldn’t hurt Mommy like that jerk!

Sean thought to himself and continued speaking, “It’s good that Daddy Ingram is coming over. That way Mommy won’t change her mind or make up with the scumbag.”

“Leah, Daddy Ingram is handsome, rich, and he likes Mommy. He’s good to us and Mommy. I support Mommy being with Daddy Ingram,” Sean said.

On the other end of the phone, Leah tightened her grip on a hair clip as she furrowed her brows slightly.

Although Daddy Ingram was great like Sean said…

She still hoped that Daddy would be with Mommy because she felt like Mommy only saw Daddy Ingram as a friend.

But she couldn’t tell Sean any of this because he had too much hostility towards Daddy. She didn’t want Sean to find out what she really thought at this moment.

After waiting for Leah’s response for a moment without hearing anything, Sean pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, “Leah, what do you think?”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I think just like you do!” Leah immediately spoke up when she snapped back into reality in order to calm down her older brother’s emotions.

After chatting for a few more minutes with each other on the phone, they hung up.

The little guy hung up the phone, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally before turning around and wanting to go outside for some fresh air but then unexpectedly she saw an unwelcome guest.

When Leah saw Shawn at that moment, all traces of smile disappeared from her face.

She looked at the little boy standing not far away unhappily.

“Why did you eavesdrop on my call? Are you helping your bad mom spy on us again so Uncle Elliot will hate us?”

Shawn listened to what his little sister said, blinking his big eyes in confusion.

What did the little girl mean by this? Did she not like him?

Thinking about it made Shawn pout innocently while reaching out to gently tug at the girl’s soft hand, saying, “Nope! I just wanted to make friends with you.”

From when he first laid eyes on this little girl, he liked interacting with her very much, because not only was she pretty like a doll, but also looked very similar to that boy who saved him. Therefore, he always treated her well as if treating his own younger sibling.

However deep down inside, Shawn knew all along that the little girl never liked him, which was why today he didn’t greet her immediately when he saw her in the garden.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew by, accompanied by the sound of rustling leaves. Leah’s hairband was blown onto a small tree in front of her.

She stood still for two seconds before running towards the tree. “My hairband!”

Leah chased after her hairband and arrived at the small tree. She stood on tiptoe, trying to reach it but couldn’t.

She pursed her lips and jumped several times but still couldn’t reach it.

Shawn, who was standing nearby, immediately ran over and said gently, “Let me help you.”

However, Leah seemed not to have heard Shawn’s words as she continued jumping up and down trying to reach her hairband but always fell short.

Shawn pursed his lips and turned around to climb up the trunk of the small tree himself. He wanted to retrieve Leah’s hairband for her.

It didn’t take long for Shawn to climb up the tree and lie on a branch above. He reached into a fork in the branches above him and took out a shiny hairband before looking down at Leah standing below him.

“I’ll throw it down; you catch it,” he said with a smile.

Leah looked up slightly as she watched this little boy perched on top of the branch. For some reason, she suddenly felt that this little boy wasn’t as annoying as his mother was.

The hairband floated gently downwards until finally landing in Leah’s hand. Shawn smiled happily. Perhaps now she wouldn’t dislike him so much anymore?
