Hannah walked over slowly. Everything felt a little familiar to her because she had seen it in the movies before. This is how the rich deal with things. First, they smile and ask the female lead to leave on her own accord. If the female lead refuses to do so, the story will progress with her being thrown into a series of temptations and/or threats.
Perhaps it was because Hannah watched too much tv and that got her accustomed to everything, but she felt nothing at all. She was strangely calm and even had a polite grin on her face.
Heather was very satisfied with Hannah's performance. The former acted distantly and ignored her when they first met. However, Hannah responded with a grin, regardless of how Heather behaved. She seems genuine as well.
"Hannah, you and Fabian are married, so you are a member of the Norton family now. Build a good life with Fabian and try your best not to get into any arguments. Remember that there is nothing that a married couple can't overcome together," advised Heather.
She was talking as someone who had been through it all. As she spoke, she reached out slowly and held Hannah's slender hand. Heather caressed Hannah's hand and chuckled before complimenting, "Hmm, your hands are so soft and smooth. They much better than mine when I was younger."
Hannah never expected any of that. She had considered the possibility that Fabian might be able to change Heather's mind, but she assumed that Heather would still be reluctant to accept her. However, Heather showed no signs of distaste or reluctance. She definitely has no intention of demanding that Fabian and I get a divorce.
Perhaps it was because Heather had complimented her, but Hannah felt her face burning red a little. Hannah's smile became so big that her eyes curved a little. She replied, "Mom, you have flattered me with your compliments. You're making me blush."
At that moment, Heather seemed sweet and kind as she smiled back. She looked at Fabian before she reverted her attention back to Hannah. She squeezed Hannah's hand a little before letting go.
Heather took off the bracelet she had on before she reached out for Hannah again. However, she went for Hannah's wrist instead of her hand. Heather never gave Hannah a chance to say anything before putting the bracelet on Hannah. The former looked genuinely happy, but her tone seemed a little serious.
"Hannah, you're the daughter-in-law of the Norton family, so this should be handed to you. My mother-in-law gave it to me, and now, I am handing it to you. It's not an expensive item, but it had been with the Norton family for generations."
