Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1493

Ever since she was a kid, Pandora had schooled Hannah not to just accept gifts from others willy-nilly. These guys weren't exactly her buddies, so she'd definitely refuse. She said, "I appreciate the thought, but you can take all this stuff back home. My old man has already bought a ton of supplements for me, enough to last me a lifetime."

Kate piped up, "Are those store-bought supplements as good as our homegrown chicken? City folks are dying to get their hands on our chickens, but they can't. Just take it, will ya?"

Hannah shot back, "Really, there's no need!"

But no one took her seriously. They just dumped their gifts in her yard and told her, "Just take it, will ya? We're all part of the Ableson clan. We're family."

Hannah responded, "Kate, really, there's no need." She was alone against a tidal wave of their enthusiasm.

Suddenly, a voice cut through, "What the hell are you guys doing?"d2

It was the village chief. He was one of the guys responsible for hosting Steven today.

They were showing Steven around the area and hadn't planned on stopping by the old Ableson place, but Steven decided on a whim to drop by. As soon as they arrived, they found a crowd gathered in Hannah's front yard. Worried about the impression this would leave on Steven, they said, "If you've got nothing to do, go home. Stop loafing around."

Steven noticed the things in their hands, his eyebrows furrowing. He commented, "They probably know who I am and are trying to bribe me, huh?"

The village chief was taken aback. "President Dixon, we haven't revealed your identity. How could this be? Please don't overthink it."

Steven chuckled. "I know you didn't. Because I met most folks here yesterday."
