Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1539

Hannah sniffled but avoided answering Steven's question directly, "I hope Skyler is still alive. I hope we'll see her again someday."

Her evasion was, for Steven, a good sign. He tightened his grip around her slightly, "Could it be that Zavier couldn't bear to see Skyler turn to ashes before his eyes, so he convinced himself she was still alive?"

In the year and some months since Skyler's disappearance, Zavier had spared his fortune worldwide search for her. If Skyler was indeed alive, and without anyone to help her evade Zavier's gaze, it seemed unlikely that he would find no trace of her. This led Steven to believe that Zavier might be delusional.

Hannah too understood that the chances of Skyler still being alive were slim, but she quietly hoped nonetheless, "Steven, what if it had been me who died in front of you?"

Such an ominous question was one Steven didn't even want to consider, "Don't talk about things like that!"

Hannah gave a small laugh, "Actually, I have died once before. I was just lucky enough to come back."d2

She was referring to the car accident, which Steven knew about, "Hannah, the Salazar family is on the brink of ruin. Daniela will soon be nothing more than a stray dog. She won't pose any threat to you, there's no need to be afraid." When the time came, he would hand Daniela over to Hannah to do as she pleased.

Hannah looked at him, "You think I'm afraid of Daniela?"

Steven was taken aback.

Hannah laughed again, "The person I'm truly afraid of is you. I thought you were helping Daniela get rid of me, the obstacle in her path."

Steven quickly defended himself, "Hannah, I've told you, there's nothing between Daniela and me. You're the only one I love."

He said he loved her, but Hannah didn't know whether to believe him. Could she believe him?
