Naomi couldn't help but inhale sharply as she watched Nina approach Darren.She never expected her usually quiet and timid younger sister to have such courage.What defined a true warrior? A true warrior was someone who, despite being reserved and timid, was brave enough to face her stern and distant older brother. She even spread her arms wide for a hug.Even the usually calm Kaden couldn't hide his surprise as he stared at the scene unfolding before him.Unaware of the drama unfolding between her siblings, Nina, asked with a shy smile, "Darren, can you hug me to boost my courage?"This was a crucial moment in her life. She wasn't sure if she would continue to grace the grand stage in the future or if she would ever feel this nervous excitement again.However, she knew very well that at this moment, she wanted affirmation and encouragement from her family.Darren hadn't expected this turn of events. His siblings rarely interacted with him due to a mix of fear and respect, e
There was a clear sense of malice in the air.Naomi felt infuriated by Adele's words. "Which family could it be other than the Winchester family? This is my sister-in-law. Can't you understand?" she deliberately muttered in Eldorian.Adele's expression changed instantly."Naomi, you can't expect everyone to have common sense and basic manners. Some people don't ask out of ignorance, they simply want to cause trouble," Kaden said with a casual smile."That's true," Naomi scoffed. Adele should probably read more books.They appeared to be whispering, but their voices were quite audible. Adele heard everything clearly. Her expression turned sour. "How rude!""Apologies, the younger ones might lack some awareness. It's their first time meeting someone who boasts about their family background. They're just curious. I hope you won't mind," Hannah remarked with a smile. Adele only inquired about Hannah's family background instead of her personal abilities.Did it imply that there
"No, I love my wife very much."Darren's dark eyes emitted a cold gleam as he coolly said, "Ms. Gibson, choose your next words wisely. Don't you dare upset my wife."Unreservedly, he took Hannah's hand before placing a gentle kiss on it.His eyes softened when he looked at her. "My wife is my most precious treasure, and no one can upset her," he expressed with deep affection.Hannah felt her heartbeat quicken for a moment, and even her ears turned warm.Perhaps due to the unfamiliar surroundings of being in a foreign country, Darren appeared more at ease expressing emotions and effortlessly weaving them into words akin to reciting poetry.Hannah's lips curled into a faint smile. A blush spread across her cheeks. However, Adele felt a sudden shock at their deep affection and romance."No, I still don't believe it! Darren, have you forgotten everything about your time in Farance? I visited you when you were in the hospital. Have you forgotten how you protected me, assuring me th
Anything could be discussed as long as Hannah wasn't upset. Darren could share those dark experiences and the past he didn't want others to know."Mr. Winchester, you don't have to say it if you don't want to, Everyone has their own secrets, I wouldn't force you to open up," Hannah said with a smile as she looked at him.Even in the closest relationships, people were entitled to maintain some privacy.After all, she, too, held the secret of her rebirth, a detail she hadn't disclosed to anyone."If you ever feel like sharing, I'm here to listen. But if you'd rather not, that's perfectly fine. Being a husband doesn't mean you're obliged to reveal every detail. You're free to choose," Hannah continued."It's not that I didn't want to tell you, I just didn't know how to say it," Darren said."It's alright, just relax," she responded.She then smiled and gently kissed his cheek. "Alright, Nina is coming."After exchanging greetings with Winnie, Nina happily ran over, holding the b
"This is really too much!" Adele's face turned pale. Unable to contain herself any longer, she cried and ran away.She was seemingly heartbroken."What did we do wrong? We just spilled the beans about her actions, right? Such a hypocrite!" Naomi incredulously pointed to Adele's retreating figure. "Mr. Winchester, you seem to be quite popular," Hannah said with a sly smile as she glanced at Darren, who was beside her.Darren's eyes revealed a hint of displeasure as he held Hannah's waist. "Then, keep an eye on me, and don't give others a chance. I will do the same for you, no one will take you away from me," he said warmly.He was like a dragon protecting his princess from any brave challengers attempting to come near her by tearing them into pieces.Hannah remained silent while she looked at him thoughtfully.Following the local customs, they celebrated with a lavish meal at Silver Tower, one of the top restaurants in Farance. The ambiance was splendid. With a panoramic v
"Don't worry, Mr. Moore. You'll get what you want," Hannah said seriously. "I won't let you down.""Excellent!" Timothy guffawed heartily. He then waved a hand airily without saying anything else.He did look tired at that moment. But at the same time, he looked like he was extremely relieved."You should leave now, Ms. Emerson. I'd like some space for myself." Timothy's eyes had gone unfocused by then. He seemed to be reminiscing about something.Hannah didn't say anything as well. She nodded mutely before leaving the private room.She had just started making her way down the corridor when she heard a familiar shrill voice."Aren't you going to explain any of this to me?"Hannah would always recognize that voice no matter what. It was Misty.Her gaze frosting over, she slowed down to a stop outside a private room. The door was still left slightly ajar, so she was able to see what was going on in the room.Misty and Cedric could be seen inside. One of them loomed over the ot
That thought had completely taken over Misty's mind for a very long time. At this point, it was literally carved into her very core.But Hannah only spared Misty an impassive glance. "Oh."What the hell did Hannah mean by that?Misty already had her guard raised at that time. Heck, she was ready to start a catfight with Hannah soon.But Hannah's unexpected response took her by surprise, causing her to freeze on the spot.For a moment, Misty didn't know how to react. She felt as though she was getting nowhere with Hannah despite her attempts to rile the latter up.Ironically, this realization ended up riling Misty up instead."Stop pretending!" she snarled out through gritted teeth, a haughty expression atop her face.Her voice became shrill at that moment. "Dad abandoned you in the slums since you were a little girl!"You must've been unwilling and reluctant to live a life of poverty! That's why you're jealous of me your whole life, right?"I bet you hate me so much that you
"You idiot," Hannah murmured before curling her lips into a cold smirk."All you're doing right now is showcasing your ugly and jealous side. Then again, you must be extremely pissed when you see me, the actual daughter of the Emerson family, living a better life than yours."Her smile never wavering, she turned to shoot Misty a glance."I'm going to make this crystal clear to you right now, Misty. Not only do I want to live a better life than you, but I also plan on keeping it this way … forever."I don't give a fuck about who you are. Since you have the guts to provoke me, you'd better be prepared to get slapped in return."Hannah used to be intimidated by Misty's role as the main female lead in the novel. She was still traumatized by the events she was forced to go through in her past life.At first, Hannah intended to live her new life peacefully and not care about her past life. She'd rather pretend that she never had anything to do with all those people in her past life.A
