Hannah was getting a little impatient. "Aunt, if you don't have anything else to do, why don't you sit here for a while? Kendall will be back around seven, and I have a proposal to get approved. I need to go to the study."Gemma heard Hannah's words and knew that she didn't like her, but she couldn't say anything either. After all, it was her fault for speaking so harshly that day.Moreover, Kendall was also coming back soon.Gemma also didn't dare to let Kendall know that she had been here. Kendall said that cutting off ties with them was really cutting off ties, and she hadn't contacted Kendall for six months."Since you were busy, then I will go back first."She put down the cup and got up to leave.I originally thought that Hannah would politely invite her to stay for a while, but I didn't expect Hannah to say directly, "Then I'll see you off."Gemma felt a bit awkward, knowing that Hannah really didn't welcome her, "No need to see me off, it's so cold outside."Hannah didn't minc
When the two of them arrived at the airport, it was already 9:30. There were few people at the airport at night, and they had finished the security check before the boarding time.Kendall handed her hot water, and Hannah took it. "Are you mentally prepared for this trip back home?"If Konnor really disappeared, Kendall would have a lot of things to deal with.Kendall sat down beside her, "No mental preparation, just go with the flow."He had grown tired of cleaning up the messes of the Hawthorne family, the troubles caused by Blaine, let him solve them on his own.Hannah took a sip of water and reached out her hand to hold his.Kendall glanced at her sideways and held her hand, "What if Auntie found out about us?"Hannah hummed and said, "Well, if you know, you know. It's not like it was the words of real parents, it's the present time after all."She is already thirty years old. Does she still need her parents' intervention to have a relationship?Kendall laughed and changed the subj
Hannah looked up at him and said, "You sure know how to comfort yourself."It seems she overthought it. Kendall, a person like her, doesn't get upset so easily.After having breakfast, Hannah remembered to call Sophia and ask for a few days off.Fortunately, there was nowhere she had to attend during this period, otherwise she would have had to go back tomorrow.Kendall received several phone calls early in the morning and at noon, the two of them ordered food delivery directly to the hotel.After finishing lunch, Kendall went to the hospital. Hannah had no plans to go out and found a movie to pass the time.Hannah was halfway through watching the movie when Georgia suddenly called her, causing Hannah to be so scared that she dropped her phone.She quickly picked it up, found it was not broken, and without much inspection, she hurriedly answered the phone, "Mom?""Sir Hawthorne was not doing well, I heard that Kendall went back to the South town, do you know about this?""Knew."Hanna
A few days ago, the doctor declared the patient's condition critical. Caiden had already prepared for Konnor's funeral arrangements in these past two days.Kendall spoke, but he couldn't say anything else. He asked someone to come and take care of Konnor.Kendall went to obtain the death certificate. After receiving the certificate, he did not immediately return to the hospital room.There were too many people in the ward, and he didn't really want to go back.He took the elevator down to the first floor and smoked a cigarette. It was a little after 2 am, and the area outside the hospital ward was so quiet that he could hear his own breathing.Kendall took a drag of the cigarette, unable to clearly express what they were feeling. It wasn't that they were extremely sad, but it also wasn't that they weren't sad.Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came, and he instinctively looked up. In the moonlight, a familiar voice walked into his sight.Kendall was taken aback for a moment and then re
Hannah returned to her own home. She had not planned to go home, so she didn't bring her keys and could only ring the doorbell to wake up Georgia.Early in the morning, before the sun had risen, Georgia had just woken up and was wondering who could be up so early. To her surprise, when she opened the door, it was her daughter. "You... walked all the way back?"Hannah frowned, "Last night Konnor left, I came from the Hawthorne family."Georgia had just woken up and didn't think much about it: "Come in quickly, it's very cold."Hannah walked over and hugged Georgia, saying, "Mom, when did you go to pay your respects?""What happened in the afternoon?""I didn't sleep much last night, I was afraid you would come over in the morning.""There were a lot of people over there in the morning, since we were so close, we didn't go."Georgia touched her daughter's hand, which was very cold, and she also realized something: "Did you rush back last night?"Kendall had already come back, and did Ha
Hannah hung up the phone and glanced at Kendall beside her.Seeing her looking at herself, Kendall raised his hand and pinched her face, "Did you get scolded?"She raised her hand and slapped his hand away, saying, "No, my mom just said 'I got it' and then hung up the phone."Kendall was also a bit surprised, and he remained silent for a moment. "After the funeral, I will come to your house."Hannah hadn't realized yet, "How did you end up at my house when everything was fine?""I came back, it would be impolite not to visit your parents."Hannah half-believed and half-doubted the reason he gave her, and she hummed, "Well, maybe, but..."Kendall didn't let her continue asking: "What are we having for dinner tonight?"Upon hearing his words, Hannah's attention was immediately diverted: "I guess I have to go home for dinner."Although Hannah didn't know why Georgia wasn't angry, she still didn't dare to stay in the hotel all day."I will take you back later.""I went back by myself."Sh
"Pah! You were really shameless!"Kendall glanced at her and then turned her gaze to the television in front of her, saying, "Watch TV."He finished speaking and looked at the TV with a serious expression, with no intention of continuing to talk about that matter.Hannah stared at the photo for a while and couldn't resist the urge to quickly kiss him while he was watching TV.Surprisingly, Kendall appeared to be watching TV, but her mind was completely focused on herself.When Hannah tried to go back just now, the person held her waist and she couldn't retreat at all.He held her waist, kissed her lips, and lowered his head, deepening the kiss that was supposed to be a fleeting touch.Hannah was kissed by him, feeling her face getting hot and her mind also getting hot.When the person was lifted up, she regained some consciousness and hummed, "Kendall.""Um."He responded in a deep voice, his peach blossom eyes gazing at her, filled with sinking desire.Hannah was dragged in and felt
Hannah went upstairs and changed her pajamas. She came downstairs and saw Georgia coming out of the kitchen, "Mom.""When did Kendall come over?""He just messaged me saying that he had already come over from the hotel."Georgia glanced at her and said, "Your dad will be back at noon, so go downstairs later to pick up the person."Speaking, Georgia paused for a moment and said, "I have known your father since he was young, and I don't have any demands. Just treat you well. This meeting is just for a meal. Your father and I won't rush you. It's your own business, your own decision." Hannah had prepared a lot to say, intending to raise some precautions with her parents, but she didn't expect Georgia to say it first.Hannah pursed her lips, wiped away the playful smile on her face, and walked over to hug Georgia. "Thank you, Mom."Georgia touched her and said, "You have grown up, and Mom and Dad can't make all the decisions for you anymore.""I knew."She was already thirty years old, no
After that evening, Hannah never heard any news about Madelynn again.Mona still remembered this person. It had been over half a month since the incident, but suddenly she received a call asking if Madelynn had been bothering Kendall again.Hannah felt surprised, "It's gone, what happened?""It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered and wanted to ask today."In late March, LA finally started to warm up a bit. Hannah chatted with Mona for a while, and it was almost lunchtime. She asked Sophia to help her order a chicken rice meal, and she just had a meal like that for lunch.In the evening, Hollis invited her to have dinner, and coincidentally Kendall had a dinner appointment tonight, so Hannah did not refuse.Today is Friday and there are a lot of people. Hollis had reserved a spot in advance.Hannah finally found a parking space after a lot of effort, and she almost got it stolen.She got off the car directly and started arguing with someone, making quite a scene. There were quite a f
Donald was clearly surprised, but after all, he had been in the market for many years, so he could still manage this change.It was only a split second later, and Donald had already returned to normal: "So it's Ms. Howell, nice to meet you!"This "Ms. Howell," obviously, was completely different from the previous "Ms. Howell."Hannah pursed her lips and glanced at Madelynn beside him, saying, "Ms. Goodman, we meet again."Madelynn was not foolish either, she also saw Donald's change just now.Growing up, she rarely saw her father look so surprised.Now being called out by Hannah, Madelynn has lost the confidence and courage she had when she first arrived.Hannah was not familiar with the brother in her mouth, but from the changes Donald had just shown, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.Hannah's brother was not an ordinary person, so how could Hannah be an ordinary person.At first, she only thought that Hannah was just the owner of a small company, so she was determin
Hannah returned to the villa after 11 o'clock. She had a glass of fruit wine and called for a designated driver.The car stopped at the entrance of the villa, and Hannah was too lazy to drive in. She paid the money and went straight in.The wind blew heavily in the night, giving her a headache. The empty villa was chilling and eerie.When the phone rang, Hannah sat on the high stool. It was too cold, so she stood up again. After turning on the speakerphone, she placed the phone on the table and, while answering, went to get a glass to fill with water: "I'm home."The phone call was from Kendall, and Hannah immediately remembered Ms. Goodman.She took half a cup of warm water, took a sip, and then said, "I finished my meal today and ran into Ms. Goodman again.""Which Ms. Goodman?"Kendall had just finished taking a shower and was sitting on the couch, drying her hair, when she heard Hannah's words, but she didn't immediately react.Hannah sneered, "Who else is Ms. Goodman?""Did she l
The two of them got into the car, and Hannah instinctively looked outside the windshield.The woman, who was just standing at the door, didn't know when she followed them out, but she was also watching them.Hannah fastened her seatbelt, clicked her tongue, and didn't rush to start the car. She reached out and pulled Kendall on one side, saying, "Why don't you get out and talk to someone?"She wasn't in the mood to deal with these boring people, if Kendall provoked them, then he can handle it himself.Upon hearing her words, Kendall also looked up and glanced at the woman. He furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Don't mind her, let's drive."Hannah turned her head slightly and looked at him with a half-smile, saying, "What if she rushes towards my car later, should I drive past her, or should I drive past her?"She didn't have a good temper.Kendall laughed helplessly and said, "I don't know how to drive, Hannah."If she doesn't leave soon, Hannah will probably get really angry.Han
Hannah hummed and didn't want to discuss this matter anymore.She got up from his embrace and asked, "How did you know that I went to Cloud Top last night?"Kendall looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Can you guess?""I didn't guess!"What is there to guess about!"I was going to take a shower.""Don't we go together?"He reached out and pulled her, but Hannah quickly withdrew her hand, saying, "You go wash with durian!"Speaking of this, Hannah suddenly remembered the durian that Kendall knelt down last night.She looked down and at that moment, there was no trace of durian."Where was the durian?""On the first floor, what would you like to eat?"He said, pausing for a moment, "The durian at this time probably didn't taste very good."Hannah didn't want to eat durian. She looked at him for a while and asked, "Who taught you?"Hey, you've even learned how to kneel for durians!Hannah thought and regretted a bit that she didn't bring her phone out last night to capture the scen
Hannah went straight to the underground parking lot by taking the elevator. As soon as she drove out, she saw Kendall standing by the roadside.It didn't rain today, the weather was still good, but now there is no sun, the sky has become overcast, it feels cold just by looking at it.He changed his coat today, it was not the one she gave him.Dressed in a long, charcoal gray coat, his height of 1.85 meters made him look like a walking model.As Hannah drove up to him, she saw two women chatting with him.She pursed her lips, averted her gaze, and intended to drive onto the main road.Kendall didn't want to walk straight over, but stood in front of her car.Hannah stopped the car with a cold face, watching him walk around to the passenger side door and knock on the car window. Reluctantly, she lowered it and asked, "What's the matter?""My car had a problem.""Oh, what does it have to do with me?"Her car was fine and there were no issues."Hannah, let me hitch a ride, please.""Dream
Hannah entered the bar, and he also entered the bar.When he saw her drinking, he had thought about approaching her, but he was afraid that if he did, she would be even more unhappy.Kendall didn't expect to appear in front of Hannah tonight, which made her uneasy. However, when that man was about to act, he could only step forward to stop him.Now seeing Hannah's eyes all red, Kendall also realized that she had misunderstood.Hannah was punching and kicking in his arms, but Kendall just wouldn't let go."Let go or not?"Hannah couldn't break free, she looked up at him with a straight and stern gaze."You hit me."He appeared to be non-responsive, but Hannah found it ironic, saying, "Let go, I'll walk by myself!"Kendall looked at her for a while and finally let go.Hannah didn't look at him anymore and went straight upstairs to her room.She was about to close the door when Kendall directly reached out to stop her.The door hit his wrist directly, and he frowned, but he still didn't
Kendall looked at her and said, "You didn't want me to see?"Hannah frowned, feeling that Kendall's words were ambiguous: "Can you speak properly?"Kendall pursed her lips and lowered her brows, remaining silent for a moment. "What do you want me to say?"Hannah got angry as she looked at him like this. "Fine, since you can't speak properly, we don't need to talk either. Do whatever you want."She was furious, didn't want to see Kendall at all. She went in and immediately changed into her pajamas, then turned around and was about to leave.Kendall instinctively reached out to stop the person and asked, "Where are you going?""Let go."She didn't look at him and directly coldly told him to let go.Kendall looked up and stared at her for a moment. "This is your home, if you want to leave, then I'll leave."After saying that, he let go and turned around, leaving the room.Hannah watched as he walked away without looking back, and she was so angry that she kicked the nearby sofa.Soon, sh
When Hannah woke up again, Kendall was already not in the room.She touched her phone, looked at the time, and realized it was almost nine o'clock.Oh no, I didn't have to go to the office again today.The weather was too cold, so she woke up late and didn't want to get up.When Hannah received Hollis' call, she only realized that it was Sunday today.She slapped her face to wake herself up and said, "Alright, let's meet inside our store."She hadn't seen Hollis for a while, so when he invited her to have pig stomach chicken, she agreed.Did you want it or not, eating pig stomach chicken in winter is quite good.Hannah had the motivation and quickly got up.It was still raining outside, and she looked at it and didn't feel like putting on makeup.She sat in front of the dressing table for a while, and her stomach growled. Hannah didn't hesitate anymore and went downstairs directly, grabbing her phone.What was there to eat?Kendall heated up breakfast in the pot, it was a bowl of shre
