A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1433

“If Hannah and I... are the reason for the Norton family's extinction, then... I'm sorry I'm not the filial son you wanted.”

Fabian would not weaken in his resolve.

Regardless of Hannah's ability to bear children, he would bring her home as promised. After all, Hannah was the woman he loved.

When Hannah left, Fabian was forced to admit how much she mattered to him.

Fabian's decision must have triggered his mother, for the older woman got angry in a flash. She barely managed to draw a long, spiritless breath while repressing most of her other emotions.

Heather lifted her hand high as she got ready to give her rebellious son a good slap, hoping it

would serve as a wake-up call. How can you say such a thing? You're the president of a large company, for heaven's sake!

“I'm sorry, Mom. I don't wish to escape my responsibilities this time. Take care of yourself.”

Fabian slowly lowered his head. Who would ever have thought that he, the company president with so much at his command, would be kneeling on the ground in such a miserable state?

Fabian sneered under his breath. So what if I'm the president? So what if I'm well-respected? All that was undoubtedly insignificant when it came to love. Fabian was determined to endure his mother's slap and put everything to an end. He needed to woo the love of his life once again, who was almost falling out of reach. He needed to bring Hannah back to the Norton Residence.

Fabian kept those in his thoughts as he quietly waited for the inevitable. But in the end, Heather could not bear to do it. Instead, she sighed, “Ah, geez! There's nothing I can do now that my child's all grown up. You'll have to deal with this yourself. Don't forget, I'm getting old. I want to spend my days sipping tea and taking care of my health. I don't want to be bothered by unnecessary stuff.”

And so, Heather rose from her spot, stood up, walked past her son, and headed towards her room.

Fabian watched his mother leave. It was a bittersweet ending; this was his mother's way of telling him that she approved of Hannah's return She just did not want to say it.
