Why did he call Hannah that?
Steven was pissed off. He managed a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Jarvis, didn't your parents teach you how to address someone's spouse?"
Jarvis laughed and said, "President Dixon, Hannah is divorced from you. You are no longer husband and wife, so she's no longer your spouse. You keep calling her your spouse in front of me, so what should I, the official boyfriend, do?"
Steven said, "She is mine."
Jarvis said, "She is yours? She's an individual, not an object. She only belongs to herself."
Steven said, "She is my spouse."d2
Jarvis said, "Your spouse? Is your divorce certificate fake?"
The dialogue between the two was full of conflict. If an actual conflict broke out, it would be bad. Hannah coughed softly. Jarvis immediately turned to Hannah, whom both of them had ignored. "Hannah, why is this guy here again?"
Hannah pressed her lips which were still bleeding from Steven's bite. "Please ask him to leave. If he doesn't, we'll call the police. Breaking into someone's house should be a crime, right?"
Hearing Hannah's words, Jarvis became even more fearless. He looked at Steven triumphantly. "Mr. Dixon, will you leave on your own, or should I call the police to kick you out?"
Steven nonchalantly pulled out a chair and sat down. "You think the cops can handle this?"
If he left, it would just be Hannah and Jarvis. A man and a woman, alone in a room, calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend, who knows what they would do. At this point, there was no way Steven would leave them alone together.
Jarvis pulled out his phone. "Well, let's see if the cops can handle this."
If they really called the cops, things would only get worse. It would do no good for any of them. Hannah thought for a moment. "Jarvis, come here. I have something to tell you."
