Hannah paused for a bit before she continued, "You all know I'm a journalist, right? My company assigned me to interview him, but he didn't want to entertain me. I waited for him and begged him to give me some time. In the end, he agreed..."
Hannah continued making up two stories to convince the Blackwoods that Fabian had acknowledged her as his sister.
She then gently cleared her throat and looked at Lyna, hoping that she would buy her stories.
Hannah's face blushed instantly as she was not used to telling lies. Upon noticing how her cheeks turned pink, Lyna thought she was embarrassed and believed her stories. "Ah, so that explains your relationship with Mr. Norton. I would have thought you two are together had you not told me this."
Lyna did not doubt her explanation because she believed Hannah would have told everyone the truth if she had someone as perfect as Fabian as her boyfriend.
Yet, another question popped up in Lyna's mind. Why did Fabian say she's his girlfriend then?
All of a sudden, Fabian opened the door and walked into the ward.
Upon seeing Fabian standing by the door, Hannah instantly called, "Hey, I told them about us."
Please cooperate with me. Please!
Fabian could not help but laugh silently. What is she up to now?
His lips curled into a smile as he walked closer.
"All right then. We have nothing to hide anyway." Hannah heaved a sigh of relief right away. She was glad that he played along. Otherwise, she would have a hard explaining herself to this group of people.
Lyna no longer had any doubts about Hannah's stories now. She was delighted to know that they were not in a relationship.
Lyna and Leo looked at Fabian and greeted him.
