Jarvis said, "But there are no 'what ifs' in life."
Hannah responded, "Yeah, there are no 'what ifs.' Perhaps my life was already set in stone from the moment I met Steven."
Jarvis asked, "What are you planning to do next? Will you continue acting?"
Hannah shook her head. "I'm not sure."
Jarvis said, "Steven is coming over."
Hannah asked, "You're a guy. Can you help me understand his mindset? Why is he still pestering me after our divorce?"d2
Jarvis guessed, "Maybe he truly likes you."
Hannah didn't believe that Steven truly loved her. “Come on .”
Jarvis responded, “I really can’t think of any other reason why a guy would keep bothering you like this.”
Hannah fell silent. True love should be like Jeremy's love for Cornelia. How could a man who constantly said she wasn't worthy of bearing his child possibly love her?
Jarvis added, "Maybe it's just an obsession. The more you reject him, the more he wants you. It's like when you set your sights on a particular item. If you can't get it, you'll always want it. But once you actually get it, you might not value it anymore."
Hannah chuckled and didn't respond.
Jarvis said again, "Hannah..."
Hannah responded, "Hmm?"
Jarvis said, "I'm really sorry!"
Hannah asked, "Why are you apologizing again?"
