Try Begging - Chapter 154.2
[ Then… ]
After a moment of silence, the woman suddenly demanded.
[ Try begging. ]
Leon was at a loss for words. The woman’s intention for making him beg was clear, but he had no other choice.
“Come back.”
[ Is that how you beg? Beg properly. ]
Leon, who had never begged anyone in his life, swallowed the bitter sense of humiliation and muttered almost like a sigh.
“…I beg of you.”
The woman burst into laughter so loud it was almost ear-splitting, and then suddenly, she stopped and scolded him.
[ You’re missing something important. ]
Leon groaned, holding his head in his hand and then tried again.
“I’m sorry. I was wrong. Please come back.”
His plea sounded more like coaxing. The quick woman wouldn’t miss that.
[ You apologize too easily. I can’t feel any remorse. ]
“It’s hard to convey that over the phone.”
[ Already with that bad attitude. And didn’t the great Captain Winston say? When begging, make it clear what you want. ]
The woman played right into his fears. She had aimed to give him the same humiliation he had inflicted on her.
He tapped his pencil on the desk, considering his words carefully.
“I was too harsh on you. I hated you, it was all too much and I won’t do it again. I forgive what you did to me. I want to clear the past and start over with you. Please, just give me one more chance.”
The woman didn’t answer.
“Please.”
When he begged again, her response was chillingly cold.
[ Begging doesn’t mean I’ll give you everything you want, Leon Winston. ]
The pencil in Leon’s hand snapped. He wished it were his own neck he could break for uttering such nonsense to her. Did she disappear to pay him back for all he had done? Leon had to accept it silently. It felt like a necessary step if he was to truly clear the past.
“If you want to repay the humiliation you’ve suffered, come and do it yourself.”
Pff. The woman chuckled.
[ You’re so deluded. I don’t hold any resentment or interest in you anymore. ]
At that moment, something in Leon plummeted.
[ Anyway, thanks for enlightening me with the truth. I’ll disappear from your perfect life, just a stain that’s gone. ]
“When did I ever call you a stain…”
[ Ah, I can see the delivery girls you sent from the distance? I’ve got to go now.]
“G—”
In a rush to call out to her, she spoke first.
[ Leon. ]
“Huh?”
“Do you still love me?”
Leon clenched his eyes shut.
“…Yes.”
[ And does that make you unhappy? ]
“….”
As he hesitated, the woman abruptly hung up, leaving only her laughter behind.
“Grace!”
It was too late to call her back. She wouldn’t hear him.
“Ha, d*mn it…”
Leon buried his face in his hand. He couldn’t drop the phone where he couldn’t hear the woman’s voice again.
Leon failed to catch her in the end.
Well, he almost did.
The woman was initially detained by the officers at Bilford Central Station. However, the officers didn’t realize how cunning she was. Pretending to be in labor, she tricked them into taking her to a hospital instead of the police station. She disappeared amid the crowded hospital when they looked away.
By the time Leon rushed to Bilford, she was gone again.
A week later, a letter arrived at the headquarters of the First Special Task Force, addressed to Leon. Shamelessly, it was from ‘Daisy Abbington.’
When Leon checked the contents, it was nothing but disheartening. The contents were a note explaining how to decode messages from the Blanchard rebels hidden in newspaper ads. It was her way of saying she would no longer make reports.
Even so, he couldn’t give up that last bit of hope. Using the methods she had described, he stationed troops around the rebel hideouts and meeting points she had revealed.
Maybe that woman was still out there, thinking of her revenge and tracing the rebels.
He even placed fake ads in the newspaper as bait, pretending to be a rebel. But after a month, the ‘pregnant woman in sunglasses’ did not appear at the contact point or hideout. It was just the rats getting caught.
…As soon as there was a way to verify the woman’s safety and whereabouts, she vanished again.
Eventually, Leon could no longer endure it and personally tore down the last of his traps.
