Hannah said, "Good luck with everything!"
"Um, I'm leaving now." He waved to Hannah, and despite his reluctance, he left firmly. He knew, he might never see her again this time he left. He knew better that Hannah couldn't forget her past with Steven. If her inner turmoil couldn't be resolved, she couldn't live freely. And the only person who could unlock Hannah's knot was Steven.
Hannah watched Jarvis's lonely figure, feeling sad as well. She hadn't known Jarvis for long, but she always felt they were like old friends. They understood each other’s real thoughts. Because they both understood each other too well, they could never be together.
She kept watching as Jarvis walk further and further away. Until Jarvis was out of sight, then she looked away. The streetlight beside her made her look very lonely. Even though she still had her parents and brothers at home, why did she feel so lonely? Hannah shook her head with a bitter smile, about to go home, but suddenly was pulled into a car by a strong arm.
"Ah!" Hannah was startled, instinctively screamed. But the next moment, she smelled a familiar scent.
Steven's deep voice sounded in her ear, "Hannah, it's me. Don't be afraid."d2
Hannah was so angry that she gritted her teeth, staring at him. She was scared because it was him, "What do you want?"
Steven held her tightly, smelling the familiar scent on her, as if he felt at peace. As long as she was there, he wouldn't be so panicked.
Hannah said, "Let me go! If you don't, I'll call my boyfriend to come back."
Steven couldn't bear to let go, "Hannah, stop playing tricks in front of me. You can't fool me. I know you have nothing to do with Jarvis."
Everything could be seen through by him; Hannah was more and more angry, "Whether I have anything to do with him, what does it matter to you?"
Steven said, "I know, we have no legal relationship after our divorce. But Hannah, I can't live without you."
Hannah said, "What are you talking about? We have never had any relationship." She didn't want to listen to this man's sweet talk at all.
Steven said, "Hannah, stop pretending. I know you haven't forgotten me and you remember me."
Since he knew, Hannah didn't play with him anymore, "Steven, if you want to play, find someone willing to play with you. I don't want to it anymore. Let alone play the loving couple with you."
"I'm not joking, my feelings for you are sincere." Steven used a little force to hold her tightly in his arms. His chest was broad, so she couldn't break free. She could only lean tightly against his chest, listening to his rhythmic heartbeat.
Steven continued, "I never pretended to be a loving couple with you. I like you, only you. I hope to be with you till the end of life."
