"Alright then, Hannah. I have some other things to tend to, so I won't be joining you and Fabian for a meal," informed Heather. She was truly taking a liking to Hannah, so her tone was much nicer.
"Huh? You're leaving? I made some soup just for you."
Looks like that pot of soup is wasted. Still, that is probably for the best. Things might get awkward if we have a meal together.
Hannah could sense the immense change in Heather, but she still worried. There is no saying how Fabian and I will end up. It would be so awkward if we end up getting a divorce and I bump into Heather after that... Hence, Hannah thought that it was better if there was less interaction between the two.
Fabian and Hannah later walked Heather to the door. When they went back into the house and the door was closed, Hannah immediately took off the bracelet that Heather gave her.
Hannah put the bracelet in front of Fabian and parted her cute cherry lips to say, "Here you go."
Fabian blurted a surprised response. A faint grin that carried a lot of meaning soon made its way to his lips. He replied, "Why are you giving it to me? My mom gave it to you. She didn't give it to me."
Hearing Fabian's strange words got Hannah speechless. Your mom gave it to me, but what if we get a divorce in the future? Are you going to ask me to give it back then? Things would be so bad, and it's better if I just give it back to you now.
"I can't keep something like this. What if it got scratched or broken? I won't be able to bear with the consequences," refuted Hannah. What if your mom asks for it back after I accidentally broke it and we ended up getting a divorce? I won't be able to get it for her. She would skin me alive then.
"I don't care. If you insist on handing it to me, I will give it right back to my mom and tell her that you don't want it," replied Fabian shamelessly. A devious grin revealed itself. It's as if he was openly taunting her. Yep, I'm being unreasonable and shameless. What are you going to do about that? Bite me?
Hannah saw right through Fabian's expression and his words. Isn't this a little too much?
Hannah pouted and complained, "Fabian, you shameless oaf!"
Fabian didn't mind her diss. He simply strode to the study while commenting nonchalantly, "Didn't you say that you have made soup? My mom left, so I'll have some instead. I'll head over to the
study for now. Come get me once it's ready."
