Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1489

Jeo was a straight shooter, always answering honestly when asked. "Yeah, Hannah isn't feeling too well and needs some time to chill."

Then someone said, "Jeo, when Hannah gets better, you gotta encourage her to come hang out more, and chat with us. Don't let her be like she was during the holidays, hardly ever leaving the house, making us think she's some big-shot celebrity who looks down on us old neighbors."

That sounded a bit rude, but Jeo didn't overthink it. He just explained, "Young folks these days love to stick to their phones at home. That's why they don't like going out. It's not just Hannah, it's all kids."

Then someone else said, "Hannah isn't like our kids, I heard a selfie with her can rake in some serious dough. I bet you're scared we'll take a photo with Hannah and sell it for easy money, and that’s why you don't let her out."

That was getting even more out of line, but even though Jeo was uncomfortable, he didn't argue back.

Then, someone else piped up, "Jeo, we heard Hannah got divorced. Is that true?"d2

Someone else added, "Jeo, there's also a buzz that Hannah didn't really get married but was being kept by a wealthy man with a family. Hannah was his mistress."

Jeo was known in the village as a nice guy. He was always ready to help out, no matter how unreasonable the request. So these neighbors didn't mince words with him, and they were downright rude. Every word, every single syllable they said today was unbearable for Jeo.

They could swear at him, hit him, or even step on him, but they had no right to mess with his daughter. Suddenly, he stood up, facing the last speaker. "What the heck are you saying? Repeat what you just said."

Everyone was stunned, and then someone said, "Jeo, even if what we said is true, there's no need to get so ticked off."

"What do you mean 'even if what you said is true'? Who's spouting nonsense that my Hannah is a mistress?"

That guy didn't expect Jeo to get so heated, quickly backing off. "I just heard it from someone else, why are you so mad at me?"

Jeo moved closer. "Who did you hear it from?"

The guy hemmed and hawed, "I just... heard it from someone..."
