Kendall didn't think of himself as a very passionate person, but he also didn't think of himself as someone who easily falls in love.He had liked Hannah for many years, but he was actually oblivious to it. Even after he realized it, he didn't immediately find Hannah, which clearly shows that his liking was still restrained.Now, bringing it up again, he also didn't want to categorize himself as someone who is deeply emotional.Of course, Hannah now says he is a player, but he naturally disagrees.Hannah was skeptical of his words, "You had three girlfriends that you posted on Instagram during college. Even though you weren't as immature after graduation, sometimes when you posted photos, the girl next to you would change after a while."Kendall touched her nose and said, "Some of them were just friends of the opposite sex.""Is that so? Do opposite-sex friends kiss?"Kendall also seemed innocent: "She suddenly kissed me, and I really didn't know. And it was just her, there was no oth
Hannah held a bunch of dolls and had some doubts about whether the doll machine had been tampered with. She didn't know.Otherwise, how could Kendall manage to grab it? She couldn't grab a single one, right?The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She simply decided not to think about it anymore. If she couldn't get it, then she couldn't get it. After all, she didn't rely on it for a living. She would just play with it occasionally.Hannah was not someone who liked to make things difficult for herself. With that in mind, she also didn't care if she could succeed or not.It's quite inconvenient to hold so many dolls in my hands. "Let's go back to the car first and put all these dolls away.""Okay."Kendall nodded, and he also had several in his hands, all of which he had picked up after watching the movie."I went there, I wanted to have a drink, and you helped me buy a cup. I put the doll in the car."Kendall glanced at her and asked, "Can you handle it?""Sure, why not
When the two of them entered the store, there were already quite a few people.Kendall took the umbrella and handed it to the waiter beside her, then followed Hannah inside.Hannah chose a seat by the window. This shop happened to be located by the street, and sitting in the seat by the window, she could see the passers-by coming and going.As soon as Hannah entered, she asked for the menu. It wasn't her first time eating Mexican cuisine, in fact, she could order without the menu.However, every store always has its own unique sign, so it's still worth taking a look.Hannah flipped through the menu but didn't find anything special. She directly handed the menu to Kendall and scanned the QR code next to her with her phone. "It seems like you can't handle spicy food, right?""You did care about me."Hannah rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know who it was, but someone ended up in the hospital just from eating a spicy snack."The two of them grew up together, and you could say they were
Mona was not surprised at all. She only became acquainted with Hannah after junior high school, when she was young and naturally couldn't see the constant arguments between Hannah and Kendall.Later in high school, she also had a crush on Kendall, and when she saw what Kendall did to Hannah, she vaguely understood something.She remembered in her sophomore year, she even told Hannah that Kendall might like her.Hannah's reaction was very strong, telling her not to make such jokes, she couldn't handle it.Not long after, it was heard that Kendall had a girlfriend, and Mona even briefly doubted if she had sensed something wrong.Later on, Kendall went abroad after studying in her home country for only two years. After going abroad, she also vaguely heard from mutual friends in the circle that Kendall had a girlfriend again. Mona no longer mentioned Kendall's feelings for Hannah.Five years ago, Kendall came over to this side of LA to find Hannah. She was quite surprised because at that
Hannah started the car and returned to the villa, paying no attention to Kendall: "There are guest rooms on the first floor, don't come up to find me unless it's necessary."This was Kendall's second time coming to Hannah's place. Last time, Kendall didn't stay for long before being chased away by Hannah.This time, I came over...Wasn't it a little better, at least he got to sleep in a guest room on the first floor, right?Hannah finished speaking and went upstairs. Kendall didn't feel like guessing what idea he had in mind, and he didn't have the patience to play with him either.Since he was coming to stay over, she decided to give him a guest room, as there were plenty of rooms in her house.As for the rest, he can dream on!However, she thought well, but reality turned out to be somewhat contrary to her wishes.Hannah had just played two rounds of King of Glory by herself when Kendall's phone rang."What's up?""Were you playing King of Glory?""Yeah, do you have any opinions?""
The box was just sitting there on the side, and Hannah found it to be in the way. She had just put on gloves to eat the crayfish, but she couldn't resist and took off one glove. Then she took the box and walked over to a shelf nearby, and stuffed the box into it.When she turned back, Kendall looked up at her.Hannah glanced at him and said, "What kind of look is that?""Did that box offend you?"Hannah sat back down and, as she put her gloves back on, she hummed, "If you keep asking, you will soon offend me.""OK, I didn't ask anymore."Hannah ate four or five crayfish and felt like something was missing. She looked at Kendall beside her and said, "Don't you think we're missing something?""What was missing?"Kendall handed her the peeled crayfish, and Hannah didn't hesitate to take it: "Beer, huh? Don't you drink beer when you eat barbecue?""There were a few cans of beer in the refrigerator, go and get them!"Hannah kicked him directly, Kendall took off his gloves, and got up slowl
That night, Kendall indeed did nothing. The two of them, rarely calm and peaceful, sat together, reminiscing about the things they had experienced in the past decade.Many things were brought up again, and Hannah realized that she had many misunderstandings about Kendall as well.For example, it was not Kendall who told Georgia about her failing mid-term exam, but Georgia went to school to bring her some snacks and casually asked about it.Back in college, the incident where Kendall switched the love letter she intended to confess with was because that senior was not a good person. Kendall knew that she wouldn't listen if she told her, so she took matters into her own hands.The two of them chatted until after three in the evening. Hannah didn't even know how she fell asleep, but when she woke up, Kendall was already not in her villa.The mess on the desk has been tidied up, and everything on it is neatly arranged. Under her water cup, there is a takeout receipt, on which Kendall left
All of her belongings from her student days are inside the miscellaneous room at home. Georgia only allows people to organize them, but she has never thrown away any item.Hannah quickly found the gift that Kendall had given her back then. After nearly fifteen or sixteen years, the outer wrapping paper had become slightly worn.Hannah held the package and returned to the room. The adhesive tape had completely stuck the wrapping paper, and she couldn't open it, so she had to tear the wrapping paper directly.Underneath the wrapping paper, there was a gift box. She opened the box and inside, there was a bed of lavender. The first thing she saw was the postcard placed on top.Hannah raised an eyebrow, picked up the postcard, and turned it over to see the message Kendall had left for her.To say or not to say, Kendall's handwriting was quite nice.Hannah, there's something I've been hesitating about for a long time, but I feel like I should tell you. I don't even know when it started, but
Hannah walked around downstairs and then went back up.Just as she arrived at the door of the ward, she heard Gemma say this.She pursed her lips and walked in as Gemma was about to speak again.Seeing her come in, Gemma naturally swallowed her words.Kendall cut the peeled apple into small pieces and handed them to Gemma with a small knife.Gemma glanced at Hannah and said, "Does Hannah want to eat grapes? There are still plenty of fruits in the fridge."All of them were brought by people who came to visit her, but she couldn't eat much. Most of them were given to the caregiver auntie."I'm not eating, Gemma. I didn't have much of an appetite today."She took an apple from Kendall's hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and started eating with her head down.Gemma looked at her, looked for a while, and suddenly called out to her, "Hannah.""What's wrong, Gemma?"Gemma took off the bracelet in her hand, took Kendall's hand, and put it inside her hand: "This was left to me by Kendall's gra
Hannah did sleep quite long this time, and when she woke up, it was already past ten o'clock.After burning all night, I woke up feeling tired and hungry.She furrowed her brow, got out of bed and pulled open the curtains, only to find that the sun was already shining brightly.Hannah took out her phone and checked the time.It was half past ten, did you sleep for so long?She felt uncomfortable with dry lips and a dry mouth, so she quickly went to the bathroom to freshen up, and then went downstairs to pour herself a glass of water to drink.Just as Hannah reached the halfway point of the stairs, she bumped into Georgia who was going up.Seeing that she woke up, Georgia quickly walked to her side and asked, "How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"Hannah shook her head, "I was a little thirsty."Although she was not feeling uncomfortable, her voice became hoarse and unclear as soon as she spoke.Georgia felt sorry and said, "I will pour it for you!"Hannah wanted to say no
Hannah came downstairs after taking a shower, and Kendall was already eating at the dining table.Georgia was cooking ginger soup in the kitchen. When she saw Hannah and Kendall coming down, she served two bowls of ginger soup. She gave one bowl to Hannah and the other to Kendall, saying, "Have some food to line your stomach, and then have a few sips of ginger soup to warm up."Hannah took a sip of soup and said, "Mom, how can I catch a cold so easily on such a hot day? The ginger soup also tastes too strong, I don't want to drink it."Georgia gave her a glare and said, "If it wasn't cold, you wouldn't have caught a cold, would you?"Hannah glanced at Kendall, not daring to refute Georgia's words.Finally, under the supervision of Georgia, they both still drank the ginger soup.After all the fuss, it was almost twelve o'clock now.Georgia and Jaylen couldn't hold on any longer, so they were told to go to their rooms and rest, with the advice to go to sleep early.After their parents l
"Wait, don't rush to speak. Let me finish first, don't make Kendall anxious by turning back."Hannah was about to hang up the phone when she heard Georgia's words, so she had to pick up the phone again. "Mom, how is Gemma doing specifically? Do we need to come back immediately?""She was doing fine for the time being, don't worry Kendall. The doctor suggested that she undergo surgery. Talk to Kendall and see if you can both make a trip back in the next few days.""Okay, hang up the phone now and take care of yourself.""Mom, you took care of yourself too, I knew it."After hanging up the phone, Hannah sent a message to Kendall on Line, asking if he was available at the moment and if so, to reply to her message.Just finished the dinner party, Kendall, walking halfway, glanced at the secretary in front and said, "You go wait for me in the car."The secretary saw him pick up his phone and make a call, nodded, and tactfully walked out of the hotel to find a driver.Kendall walked to one
Kendall took the box and didn't leave immediately, "Don't you want the beads either?"Hannah glanced at him and said, "What, you wanted it?""I had no interest in this."She hummed and said, "That's it."Hannah paused and said, "No, let's not have it. Otherwise, someone will get jealous, and the whole room will be filled with sourness."Kendall looked at her triumphant expression, raised his hand and directly wrapped it around her shoulder, pressing her into his arms. He lowered his head and fiercely kissed her unyielding mouth.He originally just wanted to give a kiss, but ended up getting a little carried away.The box in my hand fell directly to the ground with a "clatter" sound. The unsecured lid of the box was knocked open, and the bead inside rolled out onto the ground, dripping and ticking.Hannah took a glance and watched the bead rolling to the bottom of the coffee table. She shifted her gaze away and willingly embraced Kendall who was in front of her.The two of them became
After hanging up the phone, Hannah stood there for a moment before letting Sophia in.Today, there wasn't much work at the company, so Hannah basically slacked off.In comparison, a group of employees who were busy with offline activities were extremely busy.Hannah was looking around in the office, feeling quite embarrassed, so she decided to leave early.Kendall was also relatively free today, so I messaged her at noon, asking if she wanted to go out for dinner together.Hannah checked the time and it wasn't early, it was already five o'clock.She went downstairs and hailed a taxi to Harrington Group. The front desk at the lobby recognized Hannah and quickly brought her a glass of water when they saw her sitting on the couch. "Ms. Howell," they said."Thank you."Hannah glanced at the person, took out her phone, and sent a text message to Kendall.It was already 5:20 now, and she had just sent the message not long ago. Kendall replied to her, "Wait a moment, I'll come down in half a
When Kendall received the report, he glanced at Hannah, probably displeased with Gemma coming to see Hannah. His expression was somewhat indifferent.Hannah sat down on the side and waited for him to finish reading the report before communicating.Kendall opened the report, and her gaze fell on the words "malignant tumor." Her eyes noticeably darkened.The living room, where no one was speaking, was so quiet that the sound of their breathing could be heard. Hannah pursed her lips and was about to speak when Kendall turned his head towards her and said, "Why did she give you this?"Hannah roughly translated Gemma's words from yesterday, saying, "It wasn't anything major, she originally told me not to tell you about this, and then she said, 'I hope when we get married, she can come and see it in person.'"Hannah couldn't figure out what Kendall thought of Gemma, and she didn't feel comfortable giving advice on such matters.Without experiencing hardships themselves, one should not advis
Gemma had liver cancer, and it was already in the fourth stage.Hannah felt that Gemma was now throwing this difficult problem at her. She told her not to tell Kendall, but how could she possibly not tell him.The originally good mood was ruined by Gemma's sudden appearance.Hannah neatly stacked the report cards and set them aside before bringing the takeout to the kitchen counter.Hannah had a poor appetite, she only took a few bites and closed it, then she carried a glass of water upstairs.At half past nine, Kendall gave her a voice call.Hannah hesitated on whether to tell Kendall about this now or wait until he came back.She was thinking about something and couldn't hear what Kendall said on the phone."Hannah? Hannah?"Kendall looked at the person on the phone screen and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Hannah?"He shouted again.At that moment, Hannah finally came to her senses.She looked at Kendall on the phone screen with a complex expression and asked, "When can you c
It had been over half a month since that day, and Hannah was quite surprised to see Madelynn again.She didn't pay special attention to Madelynn's affairs, but her situation was really making a big fuss. People in the circle would occasionally discuss it, and she couldn't help but overhear.A few days ago, Hollis said that Madelynn's dad was suspended, Madelynn broke up with Derick, and she disappeared for a while, and no one knew where she went.I never thought I would meet you today.There was also a man standing next to Madelynn, Hannah looked at him and he seemed unfamiliar, he probably wasn't someone from their circle.Hannah didn't say hello either, she just glanced and then looked away.She handed the coat she had taken off to Kendall, who took it and led her again. The two of them walked out directly.Madelynn turned around and glanced at Hannah's back. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to speak up and called out to her, "Ms. Howell."Hannah paused, turned back, and l
