Chapter 1495
Hannah was done with his apologies. âGet out of here now. My boyfriend will be here soon. I donât want him getting the wrong idea about us.â
Stevenâs voice dropped a notch. âBoyfriend?â
Just as he finished asking, a manâs voice came from downstairs, âHannah⦠Is this your place?â It was Jarvisâ voice.
Three days after Hannah woke up, Jarvis had texted her to inquire about her health, and they would occasionally chat. Yesterday, she went back to her hometown and told Jarvis. Jarvis said he was working on a project in the city and offered to visit her today.
Hannah knew it was him. âJarvis, my house is right here. The gate is open. Just come in. Iâm upstairs.â
Hannah struggled to get out of bed to greet her guest. But Steven held her tightly, not letting her get out of bed. âYouâre still in touch with Jarvis?â
Hannah gave him a challenging look. âJarvis is my boyfriend. I should be in touch with him, not a stranger like you.âe2
Steven, âHannah, everyone in your village knows Iâm your husband: Jarvis is late.â
Hannah, âSo what?â
Steven, âArenât you afraid of being gossiped about?â
Hannah, âAs if Iâm not used to it? With my job, I deal with rumors every day. You think Iâm scared of gossip?â
Steven, âIâm sorry I didnât protect you better.â Steven had always known that there were many negative comments about Hannah online, many of which were rumors people had deliberately spread to frame her.
He was fully capable of helping her deal with these, but he chose not to. Because he enjoyed the feeling of her helplessness and dependence on him, thinking that it would keep her under his control, unable to leave him.
Hannah, âYouâre not my family, you donât have to protect me.â
Steven, ââ¦â
Hannah didnât want to hear his voice anymore and asked him to leave again, âGo back to where you came from, and donât show up in front of me again.â
âHannah, do you need help with something? Iâm here to helpâ¦â Jarvisâ voice got closer and closer, and as soon as he turned round the staircase, he would see everything in the room.
Just then, Steven suddenly lowered his head and bit Hannahâs lip hard. He bit hard, breaking her lip. The taste of blood instantly filled their mouths.
Bastard! He was taking advantage of her again in such a despicable way. Hannah pushed him hard but couldnât push him away. Instead, she was bitten even harder.
âHannah, are you okay? Iâm coming upstairsâ¦â Jarvis came upstairs and turned the corner to see this scene. Almost instinctively, he thought Hannah was being violated by some bastard and wanted to save her right away.
Steven let go of Hannah and then turned his head to look at him. âMr. Jarvis, what a coincidence! I didnât expect to run into you in my wifeâs house.â
When Steven said, âmy wife,â he emphasized heavily. His tone was full of hostility.
Jarvis wasnât scared of him, he smiled back. âSo itâs President Dixon! I thought it was some punk coming to bully my girlfriend Hannah.â
My girlfriend Hannah!
Why did he call Hannah that?
