Hannah instinctively shied away when she was facing that terrifying glare. Feeling guilty, she placed the tea on the coffee table in front of the sofa without saying a word.
Hannah was exasperated as well. She honestly didn't know what to say. She was not good at buttering others up, and she would blush whenever she lied. It didn't even matter if it was a white lie. Fabian had set everything up to make her look nicer, so she couldn't go against that. Moreover, Fabian's mother didn't like Hannah in the first place and she would dislike Hannah even more if she figured out that someone else bought the tea.
Fabian sighed internally when he saw Hannah standing there stiffly. You've always been very smart to read a situation, so why is your acting off in front of my mom? Gah, nevermind. I'll do it
myself.
"Hannah, mom came all the way here. Why don't you go and make some tea?"
Hearing those words seemed to have zapped Hannah's mind. She immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go and do that now." After that, Hannah ran away quickly.
Fabian sat on the sofa once Hannah left the room. He asked again, "Mom, why did you come over all of a sudden?"
Heather sounded annoyed when she demanded, "Am I not allowed to visit? You've been married for almost a year, but I have never met my daughter-in-law before. Didn't you say that you would take her to come to visit us?"
Heather shot a look at Hannah, who was still making tea. The former said, "Follow me into the
study. I have something to talk to you about."
She got up and headed to the study once she finished talking.
Fabian shook his head. He seemed a little irritated. He knew what his mother wanted to talk to him about, so he stood up and looked at Hannah's back before heading into the study as well.
