Jarvis followed her into the house. "Who said I was just kidding around? I told ya, when he turns eighteen, I'm definitely gifting him a car."
Hannah replied, "No need. Your money didn't come easy."
This statement silenced Jarvis, who was previously laughing and cheerful. He'd been around for nearly thirty years, and met a lot of people, many of whom called themselves his friends, but few were really considerate towards him. A lot of these so-called friends were only interested in his wealth, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
When people referred to him, they always mentioned his family's wealth. Some even cheekily called him the "foolish rich guy." But no one ever acknowledged that his wealth was hard-earned too.
When he spent generously, everyone took it for granted, not a soul ever pitied his money. Except for Hannah, she was the first. Suddenly, it seemed as if a light was shining behind her, a light that deeply attracted his gaze.
"Hannah..." He called out her name, pulling her into a tight embrace.d2
His sudden action startled Hannah. She gently pushed him away. "Jarvis, what are you doing? Steven is in the yard, he can't see us, so we don't need to put on an act..."
Jarvis' deep, rhythmic voice entered her ears. "Hannah, will you be my girlfriend?"
Hannah didn't understand why he said this. "Haven't we discussed this before? Why are you bringing it up again?"
Jarvis responded, "I think I'm really falling for you."
Hannah didn't believe him. "Jarvis, let's not joke about this. It's not funny at all."
Jarvis let go of her, looking seriously into her eyes. "I'm not joking!"
His eyes were very serious. Clearly, he was not joking. Hannah was somewhat shocked. "You know very well, you know what's in my heart..."
Jarvis interrupted her, "Whether you still have someone else in your heart doesn't matter. What matters is whether you plan to get back together with him."
Hannah instinctively shook her head, then nodded.
