Chapter 1497
Hannah didn’t want to dwell on this topic anymore. “Just let me be once we’re out of here, okay?”
Jarvis asked, “Hannah, are you worried about something?”
Hannah replied, “I ain’t worried about nada. I can walk just fine, why the heck should you be carrying me all the
time?”
Jarvis said, “If I let you go now, Steven might think he still stands a chance. Let’s keep up with this charade to crush
his hopes once and for all.”
Hannah took a moment, “Alright.”
Jarvis asked, “So, which way do we go? Be my GPS.”
Hannah instructed, “Once we’re out of here, turn right. There’s a little path that leads to the river. My dad loves
fishing there in his spare time. Even if he doesn’t catch a single fish, he’s happy to just sit there all day.”e2
Jarvis commented, “Your dad’s quite the patient bloke. Patience usually pays off.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHannah said, “Well, my dad isn’t really ambitious, he usually goes with my mom’s flow in most matters. He’s always
been a good guy. But he got into a spat with the villagers yesterday because of me.”
Jarvis inquired, “What was that all about?”
Hannah chuckled, “Because someone said I was playing mistress to some guy. My dad was livid, and nearly got into
a fistfight.”
Yesterday, the ruckus in the yard had woken Hannah up. She intended to go down and deal with these folks, but
then Steven showed up. He handled those villagers quite effortlessly, so she just laid in bed, pretending nothing was
happening.
Jarvis said, “Those folks slandered you like that, no wonder your dad was pissed.”
Hannah said, “I wouldn’t exactly call it slander. There was indeed a transactional element in my relationship with
Steven, and I can’t say I’m totally innocent. But! had never seen, my dad argue with anyone before. I thought he
was incapable of it.”
Jarvis said, “Don’t sell yourself short. When you were with Steven, he was neither married nor taken, so your
relationship was legally protected. You shouldn’t belittle yourself; you mean the world to your dad.”
Hannah said, “I’ve always known my dad loves me very much.”
Jarvis said, “Life’s too short to give a damn about what others think. All that matters is that you’re happy and
comfortable.”
Hannah said with a laugh, “I used to care a lot about what others thought of me. But then I realized that as long as
I’m happy, that’s all that matters. I don’t give a rat’s ass about anyone else’s opinion. Just like what Cornelia ‘always
used to tell me, we can’t please everyone.””
Jarvis said, “Don’t mention her in front of me.”
Hannah asked, “Are you still pining for her?”
Jarvis replied, “I’ve loved her for so many years. How can I just forget about her?”
Hannah said, “I get it. It takes a moment to fall for someone, but a lifetime to forget them.”
Jarvis said, “That’s why we, two peas in a pod, should stick together.”
Before they knew it, they’d reached the riverside. At a small dock by the river, Jarvis put Hannah down and spread
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhis coat over a rock. “Sit on my coat. You don’t
wanna catch a cold.”
Hannah asked, “Is that okay?”
Jarvis replied, “It’s just a coat, no biggie.”
After a thought, Hannah sat down. She looked up at Jarvis and said earnestly, “I might not have the capacity to love
anymore.”
Jarvis said, “Don’t be so pessimistic.”
Hannah replied, “I’m not being pessimistic. Do you have any idea how desperate the car accident left me?”
Jarvis said, “I’m sorry.”
Hannah asked, “Why are you apologizing to me? If it weren’t for you, I’d probably be dead by now!
Jarvis didn’t respond.
Hannah continued, “Do you know what I was thinking when I was lying in that pool of blood?”
Jarvis asked, “What were you thinking?”
Hannah replied, “I was thinking, if I hadn’t met Steven, would have been spared the pain? I was also thinking, if I
hadn’t met Steven, I might have been married to some ordinary guy and had a few kids by now!”
