Fabiola could tell that Hanley was fully ready to take things to the next stage, and though she was fearful of what would come next, she simultaneously didn’t want any of this to end… To her surprise, however, he suddenly parted lips with her at the last second… and after taking a deep breath, Hanley said, “…You know, it’s been a long day, so I think you should get some well-deserved rest…” Not wanting to stop now that they had gotten this far, Fabiola hugged him tightly as she replied, “But I want to continue kissing-” “Princess, you know how things will end if we continue doing that…” Fabiola knew that, of course, and though her cheeks were still red, she had fully convinced herself that she was prepared for the consequences. With that, she eventually muttered, “…I mean, we’re both of legal age and we’re already married, so…” Upon hearing that, Hanley couldn’t help but gulp… but shortly after, he quickly shook his head before carrying her to bed… And before she could say a
...She… Called him her beloved… Had she truly acknowledged that he was her husband now? That meant that he was no longer Neal’s substitute, right? His train of thought was cut short when Fabiola leaned her head against his shoulder and added, “You know what? It would be a shame not to take a photo together now that we’re both up here! Come on!” Though Hanley was momentarily caught off guard by her words, his stiffness quickly faded into joy as he smiled… and moments later, the sound of a ‘snap’ could be heard. A new memory eternalized… Naturally, Fabiola wasn’t content with only having one picture, and she continued taking more pictures with him until she was all tuckered out on the ground. Following that, Hanley quickly began setting up camp… and in no time at all, the tent was up, and the food was cooking. As night continued creeping in, the glow from the campsite felt increasingly romantic… and in the end, the pleased Fabiola couldn’t help but ask, “…Hey… Why don’t we do it
Before the speechless Hanley could even think of a reply, Fabiola suddenly widened her eyes before adding, “…Wait. You’re… You’re gay, aren’t you? Oh my God! It all makes sense now! You’ve just been treating me well so that you can keep your secret lover in the shadows!” “…You sure have an active imagination, huh? Is having sex with you the only indicator that I’m a regular male?” replied Hanley who was already squinting by this point. “No shit, Sherlock!” declared Fabiola almost instantaneously… And naturally, that only served to further hurt Hanley’s pride! Unwilling to continue being humiliated like this, Hanley pinned her against the ground and began kissing her passionately… and though Fabiola had been mocking him just moments earlier, she was now starting to get frantic! Was their first time really going to be like this?! Thankfully, Hanley was able to sense her unease, and after parting lips, he was prompted to ask, “Well…? Still doubtful…?” Nervously shaking her head,
Regardless, it was around noon when they finally returned to the cabin, and upon seeing Neal who was still on the bed, Fabiola quickly walked up to him and said, “Hey, Neal… We got you some food.” Watching as Fabiola placed the food on the table, Neal took a moment to ask, “…You spent the night with him last night?” Before Fabiola could reply, Hanley said, “Oh, that wasn’t the first time, that’s for sure…” Glowering at Hanley, Neal growled, “Are you taunting me…?!” “Is there a problem with that? Remember, she is my wife now, and you’re the actual person who’s in the way. Know your place.” Though Neal really wanted to snap back, he knew that he was in no position to. Still, just thinking about how close the two must have gotten last night hurt immensely… Not wanting a fight to break out, Fabiola quickly cleared her throat before saying, “…A-anyway, go eat for now… You’ll need the energy for later when we descend the mountain.” Watching as Fabiola quickly pulled Hanley out
“…From what I’ve found, he’s clean. In other words, you have good tastes…” added Maison in defeat as he handed her some document files. Raising a slight brow, Fabiola gave them a look… and true enough, Hanley had apparently been telling the truth. After all, with how full his achievement list was, it was literally impossible for him to have found time to date! In other words, she truly was his first! Feeling much better now, Fabiola eventually muttered, “…Um… I… forgot I had something else to do… See you guys later!” Before anyone could stop her, she was already running out the door, eager to meet Hanley and give him a big hug… When she finally arrived at the Robinson Group’s headquarters, however, she couldn’t help but feel like everyone was giving her… odd gazes…? What was up with them? Well, whatever it was, it could wait! It didn’t take long for her to arrive at his office… but just as she was about to push the door open, she heard him whisper, “Yes, yes, I promise not to
It took him a while, but Hanley eventually nodded before replying, “…Alright, I shouldn’t have met up with her, even if it’s only for work purposes… How’s this? If we ever need to discuss work again, I can just make her meet me at the lobby or I’ll just arrange all future work deals with her through video call. Is that fine…?” Though his suggestions were thoughtful, they weren’t what Fabiola wanted to hear. So… He still refused to share the truth after she had given him two chances, huh…? Realizing that Fabiola’s anger had not subsided, Hanley couldn’t help but purse his lips before gently holding her hand and asking, “…Hey… What happened? Did you perhaps misunderstand something…?” He sounded genuinely concerned… and after a short while, Fabiola clenched her fists and hugged him tightly. Before Hanley could say anything else, Fabiola’s lips were already on his! The next thing he knew, she had pushed both of them onto the couch… and it was only when he felt her hand feeling arou
To her annoyance, he tried calling again seconds later… and naturally, she rejected the call once more. After this repeated a few more times, Hanley finally stopped trying to call. Instead, he sent a text that wrote, ‘Please answer the phone so we can talk things out…’ As if there was anything more to talk about! Not even bothering to reply, she quickly blocked his number before tossing her phone aside. Maybe a bath would help… Since she wasn’t replying, Hanley eventually sent her another text… but it didn’t take long for him to frown. She… had blocked him? Clenching his fists, he released a heavy sigh before getting to his feet and leaving the room… Regardless, once Fabiola was done with her bath, she immediately got the biggest bowl she could find and filled it to the brim with snacks. She had hoped that hogging out and watching comedies would help with her situation, but… no matter how funny the things on screen were, she simply couldn’t bring herself to smile. If laughing w
Alas, with how fast she was driving, it wasn’t long before he completely lost her… and after failing to find her after a while, he eventually got his phone out to text, ‘Slow down. The road is wet.’ Fabiola naturally saw the message, but all it did was annoy her! Tossing her phone aside, she then headed straight for the mall where she met up with Lea… After picking the most expensive clothes she could find, she was about to pay when suddenly, a card appeared beside her… As expected, it was Hanley! Squinting slightly, she glared at the cashier before saying, “Use mine.” This, of course, left Lea slightly speechless. What was with this treatment? Weren’t the two all lovey-dovey just a day ago? In the end, she couldn’t help but ask, “…A bit cold, don’t you think…?” “Not at all since we’re not together anymore. Actually, that’s right. Are you free right now, Mr. Robinson? I’d like to discuss our divorce!” scoffed Fabiola, leaving Hanley wide-eyed. It took him a while, but he ev
