Book:Rebirth:Wife Runs Away With Baby Published:2024-5-31

On this side Leanne just started to prepare, on the other side Owen already booked the restaurant and went to the florist to buy a bouquet of flowers for Leanne.
He had brought Mo Li’an to this restaurant before, and she liked the desserts here. Perhaps because of the guilt, Owen could always think of Mo Li’an after he got out of the detention center.
“Vinson, it’s your fault for telling you to be careful and leaving me so many hickeys.” Looking at one strawberry after another on her neck, Leanne had no choice but to choose a dress with a higher neckline.
Vinson surveyed the woman in front of him, a purple and pink high-neck dress, slightly open at the waist, revealing a small waist, the hemline is short in the front and long in the back, showing a pair of beautiful legs. leanne also deliberately tied her hair into a ponytail, looking youthful and energetic, where like a woman who has given birth.
“I don’t think I should let you go out anymore.” Vinson stepped forward and tightly circled Leanne into his arms.
Leanne sensed the change in him and hurried to escape. “You come less, I still have serious business, I can go, you also quickly pack to pick up the plane.” Leanne smiled playfully at Vinson and hurried away.
You’re kidding, if he catches you again, what’s the point?
Tonight, there must be a way to find out where dad is being held. She can’t help but feel heartbroken when she thinks about how dad has been imprisoned by these people for the past three years. Dad, you are waiting for me, Li An will definitely save you out.
Looking at the address sent by Owen on her phone, Leanne’s heart ached, this is a restaurant she used to love, the desserts there have always been her favorite, Owen actually asked to meet with himself here, it’s really ridiculous.
“Leanne, there you are, you look so beautiful today.”
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Leanne saw Owen waiting at the door.
“These flowers are for you, thank you for agreeing to come out and see me.” Owen handed the flowers in his hand to Leanne.
“Thank you, the flowers are beautiful, Owen, don’t say thank you, we’re friends.” Leanne took the flowers and smiled sweetly at Owen.
Owen looked stunned for a moment. The color Leanne is wearing today is more delicate, this smile, more than the flowers in the hand are gone.
“Leanne, see what you want to eat.” Owen handed the menu to Leanne.
“Um, I usually like the desserts here, so you order it, and I’ll just order dessert later.” Leanne didn’t take the menu.
Owen froze at the sound of dessert. Instantly his face was a little embarrassed, fleeing Leanne’s gaze. Hastily ordered a few specialties.
“Miss, what would you like for dessert?” The waiter handed the dessert menu to Leanne again.
“Um, White Lovers well, a Black Lake Swan for the gentleman, Owen, you don’t mind if I order it for you, do you?” Leanne smiled at the dumbfounded man in front of her.
When Owen heard the two desserts Leanne ordered, he was struck by lightning. These two desserts are exactly the two desserts that Mo Li’an used to order most often. She said the white lover and the black lake swan are a pair of black and white, is the lovers in the dessert, so every time out to eat dessert with him, she will order this. Now, Leanne ordered the exact same dessert, and he didn’t even dare to ask why, just in case she said the same thing as Mo Li’an.
“Owen? Owen?” Leanne reached out and waved her hand in front of Owen’s eyes, “What’s the matter, you don’t like it? We can switch.”
“No, no, that’s all.” Owen waved his hand to signal the waiter to leave.
Leanne looked at Owen’s distracted look and felt a pang of revulsion in her heart. Obviously is a scum, but always pretend to look like a deep love.
“What’s wrong, Owen, it feels like something is on your mind.” Leanne asked with mock concern.
“It’s okay, I’m fine, I just remembered an old friend.” Owen wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“A deceased person?” Mo Li installed a very interested look, “Is it your former girlfriend?”
“You know it too, it’s your cousin, Mo, Leanne.” Out of his own mouth, Owen felt a pang of weakness as he said this long-lost name.
“She used to love the desserts here, too. Have you met her?” Owen asked tentatively.
“No, only met at family gatherings and didn’t speak to each other. It seems this cousin of mine still has the same preferences as me.” Leanne held her coffee and admired Owen’s every move.
This bitch, how dare you mention my name, every time I see you, I feel like that fire is right in front of me.
“Yeah, let’s not mention her anymore, save the hurt feelings. leanne, this time Judy set you up, I know, Lucy was involved too. But you have to believe me, I was unaware of it, otherwise I wouldn’t have allowed her to do it!” At the mention of Lucy, Owen’s eyebrows instantly clouded up.
“I know, it’s okay, things have been resolved successfully now anyway, it’s just that I’ll be in charge of Gu’s cooperation with our family in the future, so I might not be able to help you at work.” Leanne raised her glass, “We’ll still be friends in the future, I won’t distrust you.”
Owen grabbed Leanne’s hand eagerly, “Leanne, you know, I don’t just want to be friends with you.”
Leanne pushed Owen’s hand away, “Owen, now that I’m married and you have Lucy, it’s not possible between us, is there any way you can be responsible for our future?”
Owen was at a loss for words, yes, now that he hadn’t solved anything, how could Leanne give herself to him.
Thinking about it Owen picked up the foreign wine in his hand and drank it in one go.
Leanne watched him finish his wine, took a small sip, and filled his glass again.
“By the way, Owen, I heard that Lucy was also hospitalized, how is it, is the baby okay?” Leanne knew what was the sore point that would cause Owen to lose his temper and asked him on purpose.
Sure enough, Owen snapped his head up, his eyes full of hate. “Leanne, I’m not afraid to tell you the joke, I was lied to, Lucy wasn’t even pregnant, she lied to me to stay with me.” Owen took another drink from his hand and drained it, his hand clutching his hair in a painful manner.
Leanne saw that two glasses of spirits were almost enough to take him away.
“Owen, you’re in a very unstable mood, let’s have a beer somewhere else, talk about what’s on each other’s minds, and let’s get drunk today. Okay?”
As soon as Owen heard that, he immediately agreed that if he lost control in such an upscale place, he might end up in the newspaper again.
Leanne helped Owen, who was stumbling a bit, to leave, neither of them noticing a man in the corner who had been filming them.
Mogin looked at the photos sent back by the private detective, this Owen really die hard, actually dumped Lucy back after, and then went to find that Leanne.
