Jeo was still pondering how to handle this matter when Steven approached him, a serious look on his face. Jeo figured that Steven coming up to him wasn't gonna be anything good. He instinctively ducked his head, avoiding Steven's gaze, too scared to make eye contact. But to Jeo's surprise, Steven said, "I'll help you with the fish."
Jeo was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved his hands. "No, no, you're way too high status for this. I can't have you doing such dirty work."
Steven replied, "In this house, I'm just the 'son-in-law'."
"Ah..." Jeo awkwardly glanced at Hannah, hoping she could help him get rid of Steven. What he didn't expect was Hannah staying silent. She just turned around and walked away, as if nothing had happened.
If Steven wanted to help, let him. He was the president of the Dixon Group, who never set foot in the kitchen. He might not even have known that fish had scales. She was actually curious to see how Steven would handle the fish.
Back in the day, when they were together, she never even saw him make pasta. Once, she was resting at home, and her period came early. She really wanted some pasta, but her stomach was hurting. She asked Steven to make her some noodles, but he was unwilling. In the end, they disturbed the head chef, who always cooked for the Dixon family.d2
A man like that, handling fish? Yeah, right.
Jeo watched as Hannah walked into the living room, he coughed awkwardly. "Steven, Hannah's gone inside. She can't see..."
Steven said, "I'm not doing this to show off to Hannah; I just genuinely want to help you."
Jeo didn't say anything. He was also worried that Steven would make things worse. But, seeing him handle the fish, he didn't seem to be faking it.
…
Not long after, Farley returned home too. Before he even got home, they could hear him. "Hannah..."
Hannah was changing clothes upstairs, and she quickly stuck her head out of the balcony. "My ears are fine. Stop yelling."
Seeing her, Farley excitedly waved his hands. "I missed you. I wanted to hear your voice sooner."
