Foster glanced at her and didn't have any objections, “I'll listen to you."Hannah stopped talking and walked here for nearly twenty minutes, feeling tired and hungry.The thin slices of pork belly were quickly grilled to perfection. Hannah has always loved eating grilled meat. She is the kind of person who would rather gain weight herself than miss out on enjoying a good meal of meat.She didn't speak, a piece of grilled meat wrapped in lettuce, topped with sauce, and then she stuffed it into her mouth.Foster looked at her as she put the meat into her mouth. Her lips were like a squirrel hiding a pine nut inside its mouth, and her cheeks were puffed up, making anyone who looked at her feel an increase in appetite.Foster rarely ate these, even during the difficult years, he didn't really touch them. When he was hungry, he would just eat a piece of bread and drink a large bottle of water.He was not like Hannah, who always seemed to have the greatest enthusiasm for food.On the contr
Foster had no shame, while Hannah dared not lose her own face.His words did hit the nail on the head, and Hannah dared not move. She even kept her head down, afraid that someone might take a video and upload it online, which could lead to Jessica, Mona, and others recognizing her.Foster's car was parked in a nearby parking lot. He carried her over a small path and they arrived at the car after a few steps.Hannah struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free, and could only watch as he put her into the car.Hannah had been taking the stomach-aiding and digestion-promoting pills for several minutes when she started to hiccup. As she was fastening her seatbelt, she hiccuped twice. Coincidentally, Foster walked in from the side and watched her. Although he didn't say anything, Hannah could see the amusement in his dark eyes.Her face stiffened for a moment, and she glared at him, saying, "What are you laughing at? Haven't you seen someone hiccup before?"Making a mountain out of a mo
Hannah suddenly felt very tired, a tiredness she had never experienced before."Whether you are Dominic or Foster, our relationship had already ended from the day you left. If I were you, I would have had the decency to leave at that point, preserving some dignity for both of us."In the end, no one's face would look good.Is it necessary? Isn't it better to break up peacefully?Hannah's personality has always been carefree and bold. Foster still remembers their first meeting, when she openly expressed her liking without any hesitation.Later on, she became even more crazy, and he went from being bored to uncontrollably infatuated. She was like an everlasting fire, enveloping him, and managed to melt his icy heart.But now, she says it's over.The fire was extinguished, but he had already melted. How could he possibly let go!"I never thought about leaving you."He said he would find her, he just came back a little late.
Kendall suddenly wiped the smile off her face and said, "You know about my family's situation, right? My grandfather is not doing well, and if I don't get married, the Hawthorne Group will have to fall into someone else's hands."Although Hannah and Kendall didn't get along since childhood, she was indeed aware of the things happening in his family.After his father had an affair, there was an illegitimate child born who was only a few years younger than Kendall. Later, his mother divorced his father, and the illegitimate child came back rightfully.At first, Grandfather Kendall was very biased towards Kendall, after all, he was the grandson of the legitimate wife.Kendall's mother took him away back then, and Kendall also rarely came home over the years because of his father.The illegitimate child used to accompany Kendall's grandfather every day, you know, the older a person gets, the more they long for a harmonious family.Kendall's gran
Marriage was impossible, and Hannah never thought about getting married.Hannah directly rejected Joseph's proposal, and as for Kendall, there was no need to even think about it.The Howell family had a good relationship with the Hawthorne family, even disregarding the Hawthorne family's troubles. Mrs. Howell had a good relationship with Kendall's mom.If the two of them got together, they would never be able to separate, even in death.Hannah could still see these problems very clearly.Sometimes she was just slow, she wasn't really stupid.Perhaps afraid that she would really do something foolish, Mona called her in the evening and analyzed the pros and cons of getting married according to the agreement.After Hannah repeatedly assured herself that she had not reached such a desperate point, Mona finally hung up the phone.After being "beaten up" by Mona like that, Hannah directly blocked Kendall's phone number.The ne
Hannah fell silent for a moment, looking at Paige in front of her, and took a deep breath. "So, what did you come to see me for today?"Paige's emotions had stabilized, and so much time had passed since everything happened that she had no choice but to accept it, even if she didn't want to."I wanted to come and say sorry to you. Three years ago, I suddenly brought people to find you and caused you a lot of harm.""It has already passed, you don't need to care about it anymore."Paige looked at Hannah and hesitated for a moment, "You also had the right to know about this matter.""Thank you."Hannah's mood was completely disrupted like this, "If there's nothing else, I'll have my assistant send you."She had not fully processed this matter yet, and when facing Paige, she did not know what she should say.This time, Paige did not insist on staying any longer, “Today, I bothered you."She stood up and bowed deeply to
Hannah had just parked her car when she coincidentally ran into Kendall, who had also just gotten out of her car."Hey, we were quite in sync."Hannah rolled her eyes and said, "Who has a telepathic connection with you.""Something's not right, you seem so upset today. Who did you upset?"One of the main reasons Hannah didn't like Kendall was because this person had a big mouth and liked to blabber about everything.She completely ignored him, entered the elevator, where there were other people, and only then did Kendall shut his mouth.The elevator went directly to the last floor, where there was an authentic French restaurant serving traditional French cuisine. The average cost per person was 1888.If it weren't for the per capita amount, Hannah wouldn't have come today.Kendall had already made a reservation before coming. As soon as they entered, they gave their last name at the reception, and the waiter immediately led them to a table by the window."Feeling down?"Hannah glanced
The sky was hazy tonight, with no stars and the moon not being full.Hannah got on the car, lowered the window, lit a cigarette, leaned back in the seat, and didn't immediately drive away.Her car was parked in a parking space by the roadside. At that time, there were plenty of parking spaces and no one was urging her to leave.The lady felt that the cigarette was lacking in taste. She didn't feel like smoking it anymore halfway through, so she extinguished it, wrapped it in a tissue, and put it aside. Hannah fastened her seatbelt and then drove away.As the car turned into the villa, there happened to be a 24-hour convenience store. Hannah stopped the car and went inside. Inside, there were several high school boys, leaning on each other's shoulders, drinking beverages and chatting about interesting things at school.Several boys visibly paused when they saw Hannah.Hannah glanced at them, and one of the boys immediately blushed.Hannah looked and found it funny. She smirked, chuckle
Harrington Group was one of Wiley Company's major projects this year, and if Zachary failed, it's hard to say whether he would be able to take Mr. Cardenas' position, who is his crush, next year.Upon hearing Cassie's words, he disregarded everything and nervously made a phone call to Layton.At this moment, Layton had just finished the meeting and saw Zachary's call. Subconsciously, he wanted to decline it.After thinking about it, I still felt unsatisfied.Layton answered the phone, "Zachary?""Layton, it was me."Layton remembered Mona's words and hummed, "What's the matter? At this time, Mr. Cardenas must be busy, right?"Zachary also detected the sarcasm in Layton's words, but at this point, he could only grit his teeth and bear it: "Layton, the situation with Ms. Howell was my negligence, I really didn't mean it! Can you try to arrange a meeting with Ms. Howell so that we can have a proper conversation?""No need, Hannah has already mentioned this matter, let's just leave it at
Almost twenty years later, seeing her younger self, Hannah couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.In the photo, she and Kendall were "lovers", with their clothes and actions being particularly artificial, all relying on the faces of the two.Hannah looked at it and felt quite embarrassed. She couldn't understand how she had agreed to take such a photo at that time."Stop looking, it's not that good-looking anyway!"She picked up the photo in Kendall's hand, threw it into the envelope, and took out her phone: "Double date?"Kendall glanced at her and threw the phone to her, saying, "I'm going to cut the fruit.""Hey, your password..."Hannah had just wanted to say that she didn't know his phone password, but when she lowered her head, she realized that the phone had already been unlocked, and the desktop photo was the group photo she had just seen.Hannah felt awkward just by looking at it, so she directly entered the game and formed a team to enter the match.Kendall washed the cherries
Kendall threw her phone onto the couch and walked over to the Nakashima table, pouring herself a glass of water. She looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Did you hear that?""What did you hear? I didn't hear anything!"Hannah didn't want to be an informed person about that kind of thing!However, Kendall didn't let her off so easily: "I was just on the phone, didn't you hear?""No, were you on the phone just now? I didn't know, I thought you were standing there contemplating life."She didn't admit it, and Kendall didn't ask further. He changed the topic and said, "What do you want to eat tonight? Can we have hot pot?""Sure, sure. I couldn't cook, you cooked, whatever you say!"Kendall gave a slight hum and said, "So, do you think my plan was feasible?"Hannah didn't expect that after a few sentences, he came back again, which startled the person for a moment, "That is--"Halfway through her words, she looked into Kendall's peach blossom eyes and instantly knew that she had be
Hannah sat for a while, thinking about Kendall cooking dinner in the kitchen. She felt ashamed of sitting here and eating for free, so she quickly got up and walked over, intending to lend a hand.Walking to the kitchen door, Kendall was inside, chopping vegetables, with her head down, so focused that she didn't even notice her coming.The impact of this scene was still significant for Hannah. In her impression, Kendall was a rich young man, and also a bad-tempered one.I never expected that one day, this noble young man would actually be wearing an apron in his own kitchen, cooking dinner for her.There was a moment when Hannah felt that it would be nice to just stay with Kendall like this.But it was just a moment, she didn't mind finding a man to live with, but Kendall couldn't.Kendall liked her.She couldn't live with a man who liked her, it would make her feel guilty.Hannah collected her thoughts and walked into the kitchen, lifting her leg: "What can I do?"Upon hearing her vo
She came over happily to discuss the project, but before she could say anything, she was targeted like this. Hannah's face looked particularly bad when she left the private room.It's okay to be uncooperative, it's okay to look down on their company, but a lousy manager wouldn't even give basic respect to others. Hannah couldn't stand it: "You give Mr. Cardenas a call, just say thank you to him for giving our company this opportunity, but unfortunately our company is not capable enough to take on this project, so he doesn't need to worry about it."Zachary Cardenas was Layton's college classmate, and Layton was the one who initiated this connection. Naturally, Hannah wouldn't let things get embarrassing.Zachary was a sensible person, so when she said this, he could understand it.Sophia, however, hesitated a bit and said, "Ms. Howell, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate? What if this Ms. Roman is the one Mr. Cardenas specifically sent..."Hannah hesitated for a moment. She is a very s
Who wouldn't want a gift?Hannah placed the box in front of her and was about to open it when she realized it was locked. She instinctively looked at Kendall beside her and said, "Are you kidding me?"Kendall laughed and said, "Was I really like that?"He said, as he took a sip of water and pointed at the suitcase, "The password is your birthday."Hannah raised an eyebrow, hesitantly entered her birthday, and sure enough, the lock opened.She clicked her tongue and said, "Not bad."The box was opened and inside there were a pile of things, all of them wrapped gift boxes."So many?""Go to a place and buy one.""You went to many places."Hannah grabbed a pillow from the sofa, placing it directly on the blanket. She then slid onto the sofa and casually picked one to start tearing apart.Isn't this much more fun than playing games?Hannah thought it was some delicate little trinket, but to her surprise, when she opened it, there was a maple leaf inside. She looked up at Kendall and asked
Hannah thought she had gotten drunk and was hallucinating.As the car door opened, a cold breeze blew in, instantly waking her up.Looking at Kendall standing in front of her, she hesitated a bit and raised her hand to wave in front of him, saying, "Kendall?"Half a year later, Kendall didn't know where to hang out anymore. His once fair and clean face had turned tan, and he was wearing jeans and a leather jacket, with a backpack on his shoulders. He was far from his previous image as a refined gentleman.It's no wonder that Hannah felt like she had mistaken the person. Even if they had not been drinking, if they had met on the street, she still wouldn't have dared to acknowledge him."It's only been a few months since we last met, and you don't recognize me?"People have changed, but this voice hasn't changed much."You step aside first, and I will drive the car in.""Weren't you drinking?"Hannah looked at him and scoffed, "And then what?"She drove into her own home, not out on the
Hannah slept until twelve o'clock the next day. When she woke up, the whole room was quiet, and she had no desire to get out of bed.Jessica and Mona, along with their families, used to go to hot springs and skiing together. Hannah used to enjoy joining them for fun. However, in the past half year, she gradually stopped participating in their family activities.It's actually quite awkward. Whether it's Jessica or Mona, both of them were already married and had children, and they were able to run and jump.A family of three went on a family trip, and she, being a single dog, joined them. Most of the time, she appeared lonely and desolate.So this time, when Jessica and Mona called her in the group, she didn't join like before.Moreover, she has been working overtime during this period, working quite intensively. She even stayed up for four consecutive nights, which was a bit overwhelming.Since she was the only one at home, Hannah decided to order takeout and have it delivered. After o
Gemma looked at Kendall, her attitude no longer as strong as before. "Kendall, I just came to see Hannah.""We have known each other for so many years, and you never came early or late, but why did you choose to come at this moment?"It must be said that Gemma knew Kendall the best, and Kendall also knew Gemma the best.In the past, Kendall always used to tolerate things because she was her biological mother.Now he has already eloped and made his choice, so there is no need to give Gemma any hope.For so many years, it was the first time that Gemma had been so directly exposed by Kendall, tearing apart her disguise.Her face turned pale and then green: "How dare you speak to me like that? Did I teach you to speak to me this way?""You don't have to tell me all this. You can think however you like. I already made it clear what needed to be said that day. I won't be your pawn anymore!""You--""How could you do this to me! Why would you treat me like this? You and your father are exact
