True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1926

Leah simply had no words to say. What did Ernest mean by letting him know? Was she supposed to send him a signal?

She looked at Ernest dumbly. Ernest's deep eyes were sincere and brimming with confidence. It seemed like he thought that Leah would definitely send him a signal very soon.

Leah took a deep breath and said, "You promise? We have to take a break today. You can't touch me, okay?"

Ernest's eyes flashed once more and he said, "Yes, I'll keep my word."

After reaching a consensus, Leah put forward her conditions. "So, can we go out for a stroll now?"

Ernest said, "How about you spend some time at home and rest for a bit? I'll leave you alone to rest. I'll go back home for a short while and come back later tonight. We can go shopping and watch a movie after that."

Leah was surprised at his suggestion. "That sounds good. But why are you going home? Did something happen?"

"I'm just going back just to check," said Ernest vaguely.

"Alright, go on home. Sorry, I'm a bit clingy. I know you can't be with me every second of the day," Leah said.

Ernest could tell that Leah was very reluctant to part with him.

He smiled and said, "I'll try to make it back earlier. We can go get dinner then watch a movie. You'll have the rest of the afternoon to yourself."

"Okay, no problem. You should leave now." Leah urged, "Go home and visit your mother."

Ernest got up to change his clothes and kissed Leah before leaving.

As soon as Ernest left, Leah was alone in her apartment. She planned to take a short nap. After all, she didn't have much to do. After her nap, she planned to revise her studies.

However, a few minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Leah was startled awake by it. She got up and went to check who it was.

She turned on the video surveillance and saw that it was an unwelcomed guest she did not want to see.

It was her mother.

Leah frowned and decided to ignore her.

She planned to not open the door. She was going to pretend that no one was home. However, her mother eventually called her on the phone.

Leah picked the call up and asked impatiently, "What is it?"

"Come on, open the door. I know you're in the apartment. You haven't left your place yet. I know that you want to pretend that you're out."

Leah was instantly speechless. "Since you know that I would pretend to do that, why would you expose me?"

"I have something to talk to you about." Sieara sighed and said, "Let's talk. If you don't open the door for me, I will just keep waiting here until you do."

Leah was rendered speechless once more. "Why are you being so annoying?"

Sieara was silent for a moment then changed the subject. "Open the door. I know you can see me right now. It's cold down here, and I'm not wearing many layers. My legs are going to give out from exhaustion soon."

"Then you should leave." Leah did not want to entertain her at all. "No one told you to come here."

"Well, you wouldn't want me to go trouble Ernest, do you?" Sieara said again.

"How dare you!" Leah immediately raised her voice. "What do you want from me?"

"I want to see you right now." Sieara made her intentions clear. "Come on, open the door."

Leah took a deep breath, fuming with rage. She was very reluctant to let her mother in.

This was her personal space!

She was still angry at the thought of what she had gone through over the years because of her mother's abandonment.

She rented the apartment with her own hard-earned money. She didn't want to be disturbed by anyone, especially not by the mother who abandoned her.

Over the years, her mother had never spared her a single thought.

She had once fantasized about her mother taking her away from her horrible home life. But her wish never came true. Her mother would only take her in for a few days and send her back soon after.

Now that she thought about it, she realized that she had been too greedy before. She had been expecting too much from her mother.

Eventually, she gave up on that dream. When her mother asked her to visit the Qualls family during the winter and summer breaks, she refused.

Now her mother had presented herself at her front door.
