Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1497

Hannah didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore. "Just let me be once we're out of here, okay?"

Jarvis asked, "Hannah, are you worried about something?"

Hannah replied, "I ain't worried about nada. I can walk just fine, why the heck should you be carrying me all the time?"

Jarvis said, "If I let you go now, Steven might think he still stands a chance. Let's keep up with this charade to crush his hopes once and for all."

Hannah took a moment, "Alright."

Jarvis asked, "So, which way do we go? Be my GPS."d2

Hannah instructed, "Once we're out of here, turn right. There's a little path that leads to the river. My dad loves fishing there in his spare time. Even if he doesn't catch a single fish, he's happy to just sit there all day."

Jarvis commented, "Your dad's quite the patient bloke. Patience usually pays off."

Hannah said, "Well, my dad isn't really ambitious, he usually goes with my mom's flow in most matters. He's always been a good guy. But he got into a spat with the villagers yesterday because of me."

Jarvis inquired, "What was that all about?"

Hannah chuckled, "Because someone said I was playing mistress to some guy. My dad was livid, and nearly got into a fistfight."

Yesterday, the ruckus in the yard had woken Hannah up. She intended to go down and deal with these folks, but then Steven showed up. He handled those villagers quite effortlessly, so she just laid in bed, pretending nothing was happening.

Jarvis said, "Those folks slandered you like that, no wonder your dad was pissed."

Hannah said, "I wouldn't exactly call it slander. There was indeed a transactional element in my relationship with Steven, and I can't say I'm totally innocent. But I had never seen my dad argue with anyone before. I thought he was incapable of it."

Jarvis said, "Don't sell yourself short. When you were with Steven, he was neither married nor taken, so your relationship was legally protected. You shouldn't belittle yourself; you mean the world to your dad."

Hannah said, "I've always known my dad loves me very much."

Jarvis said, "Life's too short to give a damn about what others think. All that matters is that you're happy and comfortable."
