    Chapter 383 Intimacy


    Upon hearing Hendrik''s words, Leah was stunned. Hendrik was right, but she would never admit it.


    Upon hearing Hendrik''s words, Leah was stunned. Hendrik was right, but she would never admit it.


    This awful feeling was only suitable for burying deeply in her heart, letting it rot and dissipate


    completely.


    "No…" Leah''s eyes dimmed, and then she smiled and met Hendrik''s gaze. "What about you? Have you


    been taking care of me all this time because you love me?"


    She changed the subject to Hendrik because she wanted to escape the fact that she was being


    questioned. But she heard an unexpected answer.


    "Yes," Hendrik said with a calm voice.


    Leah could not believe what she had heard. She was stunned and stared at him. "What did you say?"


    It must have been a mistake. Hendrik, a person of his status, had been in contact with all sorts of


    women. There was no reason for him to like her, a divorced mother with a child.


    It was hard for her to believe such a thing.


    Hendrik leaned in closer to her, so close that their breaths seemed to mingle. He calmly said, "If I said I


    liked you, what would you do?"


    Han could obey his innermost feelings without any constraints since he was Hendrik now.


    "Stop kidding around," Leah said, not believing him. "You''ve been getting close to me to discover


    everything about me. There must be some other motive. Just tell me directly."


    Leah looked at Hendrik solemnly. "It''s okay, as long as it''s not too extreme, we can still be friends in the


    future."


    Hendrik returned to his seat by the bed, his deep voice tinged with a hint of amusement. "What counts


    as too extreme?"


    "I don''t know." Leah frowned. "You can tell me what you need, and I''ll help as much as possible."


    She owed him several lives of her own. She would let him use her as long as he did not want to harm


    Carlotta.


    "Do you know what you''re saying?" Hendrik stood up and looked down at her.


    Leah was startled by his sudden cold voice, feeling a bit nervous. "I know, I will help you..."


    Before she could finish her sentence, Hendrik pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "Will you


    really help me with anything?"


    "What if I said I wanted to have sex with you?"


    Leah was taken aback, quickly pushing him away with a gloomy look. "Please don''t mess with me. If


    you have something to say, just say it. I don''t believe you approached me just because you like me and


    want to have sex with me."


    She did not think she was so attractive that a divorced woman with a child would attract him.


    Not far away, Carlotta had already finished her meal and had been watching them with an amused


    expression.


    When she saw Hendrik hug Leah, she suddenly turned into a sad expression. "Oh no, oh no. If daddy


    doesn''te back soon, mommy is going to cheat on him!"


    Carlotta''s excitement caused her to speak with a rtively loud voice. Hearing Carlotta''s words, Leah''s


    face darkened slightly, and she began to talk seriously with Hendrik. "Mr. Hendrik, just tell me what you


    want. It''s okay."


    It was the first time she had called him like this.


    Han''s gaze suddenly turned cold. "Don''t call me that."


    Anyone could call him like that, but not her.


    He did not want his Hendrik identity or to be abandoned and kept away by her after expressing his


    feelings.


    "There''s no reason. I''m just very interested in you. To put it bluntly, I want you to help me manage the


    White Group temporarily. I need to deal with Shawn and don''t have time."


    Although it was not the reason Leah had imagined, she finally rxed a bit.


    "Okay," she agreed without hesitation.


    The White Group originally belonged to her parents, and she missed being there.


    After finally finishing their conversation, Carlotta rushed forward and hugged Hendrik''s leg, "Uncle,


    you''re also going to be my third dad!"


    "You have a lot of dads," Han nced coldly at Leah on the bed.


    Leah suddenly felt pressure and quickly pulled Carlotta away, "Carlotta, he''s not your daddy. Don''t


    overthink."


    Carlotta was too open-minded. Even the third dad wasing out now.


    If Han knew about her and Hendrik, he would probably go crazy again and say she did nothing but


    seduce men.


    She was not good at dealing with his anger.


    "Well, I got to go. I''m too busy these days. I''ll pick you up in eight days."


    As Hendrik left, Leah had a sigh of relief and pinched the soft face of Carlotta, "Carlotta, don''t say such


    things before Uncle Hendrik again."


    "Why?" She blinked her eyes with confusion.


    Leah paused, then said, "Uncle Hendrik has a bad temper. He will lock up the kid who annoyed him in


    the dark room."


    Carlotta was speechless. "Mommy, I''m not a three-year-old. Your trick doesn''t work anymore. I wouldn''t


    believe such an obvious lie!"


    Leah paused and said, "Anyway, stop calling him daddy."


    Carlotta did not know the seriousness yet.


    Men with power at the top of the pyramid were hazardous.


    It was Han and Shawn.


    Apanying a ruler was like apanying a tiger.


    Until Carlotta promised she would not say that, Leah asked Ben to take her back to Han''s mansion in


    Victoria Precinct.


    That evening, Serena came to see her after work from the studio.


    As soon as she entered the door, she put a pile of documents on Leah''s bed: "Here, these are the


    documents that Mr. Hendrik asked me to give you."


    After reading them, Leah found that they were documents of the White Group''s acting CEO and some


    projects handover.


    "Thank you." She was surprised by Hendrik''s efficiency, and she realized that she would be the acting


    CEO of the White Group soon.


    After she signed the papers one by one, Serena rearranged them and put them aside.


    Then, she sat seriously by Leah''s bed and questioned, "I''ll return the document to the White Group


    later. Now tell me what happened between you and Hendrik."


    Leah paused with confusion. "He asked me to help manage the White Group because he''ll deal with


    Shawn during this time and nothing else."


    He was teasing Leah when he said he liked her, so it was unnecessary to tell Serena since it was not a


    big deal.


    Serena did not believe it at all and was more earnest to persuade, ''Sarah, you can''t be single all your


    life. When you meet a good man, you should consider him. Don''t be stubborn about Han."


    She had known her for so long that she loved Han the most.


    Before Leah said anything, she continued, "Han is about to marry Anna. It is rumored that when he left,


    he was personally nning the wedding with Anna. Hendrik''s power is above Han. Neither Anna nor


    Han dares not to bully you anymore when you are with him."

    Leah was puzzled, and her heart was in terrible pain.


    With tears in her eyes, she looked at Serena and was stupefied. "He''s just nning his wedding with


    Anna during this time?"
