Hannah arrived home not long after, opening the door to the darkness of an empty house. She proceeded to turn on the lights as she figured Fabian would be back real soon.
"Hello? Where are you?" Hannah gave Fabian a call nonetheless.
"I'm outside having dinner with some business partners, don't wait up for me and eat first. Alright, bye."
The call ended as soon as Fabian finished his sentence. There was no room for Hannah to utter even a single word.
No wonder he hadn't call me. He's been busy. Hannah loosened up with that in mind. She was initially worried that Fabian would question where she was the entire day, but that concern was replaced by disappointment. He really couldn't give me even a single call?
Alone, Hannah went on to have dinner before she took a bath.
After that, she curled up on the couch and turned on the television, watching the programs with a hint of sadness on her face.
Fabian must still have feelings for Vivian. Yeah. She's beautiful, elegant, and has the status to match his. It's no wonder he'd like her.
Hannah's mind started wandering off. I'm the fool here for thinking that I could go on living with Fabian like this. Hannah Young, just look at yourself! Who do you think you are and what do you have to offer? She believed that there was no way she could even compare herself to Vivian.
Huh. The man I'm with is in love with another woman. How ironic. It was all just my wishful thinking. He has never made any promise but I still ended up fantasizing about it.
Things were getting gloom.
Why didn't you tell me sooner, Fabian? Why did you have to wait for me to fall in love with you? If you had told me earlier that you still loved her, I would've never allowed myself to for fall you.
