Hannah responded with a smile. Of course, she was just being polite--she knew very well what was happening between Xavier and herself. The man was actively pursuing her. Since she would never accept him, why would she ask for his help?

In order to avoid that particular topic, Hannah asked Xavier in turn, “So, Mr. Jackson, what brings you here?”

“Oh, I was just passing by when I happened to see you. I was thinking, since we're old friends and all, maybe I could pop by and say hello. You don't mind that, do you, Ms. Young?” Xavier stated courteously.

While Hannah was carefully dealing with Xavier, Fabian had also returned to the main residence of the Norton family. As soon as he stepped into the house, his mother's voice rang out bitterly, “Oh, Fabian. You're actually back?”
