Hannah waved at Natasha and said, "Natasha, just give us a moment and wait for me outside. I'll be right back."
Xavier probably has something to tell me, that's why he asks me here in the first place. Well, I might as well find out what he has to say and end it here and now.
Although there's nothing going on between us, it still places me in a tricky position. What if Fabian misunderstands or if he catches us meeting each other? Will they fight again?
Natasha pondered for a while and then nodded in agreement. Hannah should be safe here, I'll just wait outside.
Once Natasha left the room, Hannah spoke, "So, what's the matter, Mr. Jackson? Please go ahead
and tell me."
He grinned. "Hannah, tell me what Fabian did to you so that I can stand up for you."
Hannah found his statement unbelievable. You're just an outsider. How dare you question about my husband and even claim that you want to stand up for me? You've got to be kidding me.
Getting worked up, Xavier approached Hannah and wanted to hold her hand.
Her presence here shows that I matter to her. She has a soft spot for me, doesn't she?
Immense shock gripped Hannah and she immediately moved backward to avoid having any physical contact with him.
"What does it have anything to do with you what Fabian did to me? You're in no position to interfere even if our relationship turns sour. Please keep your distance. I don't want Fabian to misunderstand us."
Honestly speaking, Xavier's presence had affected Hannah's mood.
Unlike Fabian, Hannah was very concerned. She kept reminding herself that she belonged to Fabian and having any suggestive moments with another man was a definite no for her.
