Chapter 1498
Jarvis said, âBut there are no âwhat ifsâ in life.â
Hannah responded, âYeah, there are no âwhat ifs. Perhaps my life was already set in stone from the moment I met Steven.â
Jarvis asked, âWhat are you planning to do next? Will you continue acting?â
Hannah shook her head. âIâm not sure.â
Jarvis said, âSteven is coming over.â
Hannah asked, âYouâre a guy. Can you help me understand his mindset? Why is he still pestering me after our divorce?â
Jarvis guessed, âMaybe he truly likes you.âe2
Hannah didnât believe that Steven truly loved her. âCome on.â
Jarvis responded, âI really canât think of any other reason why a guy would keep bothering you like this.â
Hannah fell silent. True love should be like Jeremyâs love for Cornelia. How could a man who constantly said she wasnât worthy of bearing his child possibly love her?
Jarvis added, âMaybe itâs just an obsession. The more you reject him, the more he wants you. Itâs like when you set your sights on a particular item. If you canât get it, youâll always want it. But once you actually get it, you might not value it anymore.â
Hannah chuckled and didnât respond
Jarvis said again, âHannahâ¦â
Hannah responded, âHmm?â
Jarvis said, âIâm really sorry!â
Hannah asked, âWhy are you apologizing again?â
Jarvis explained, âThe moment the car accident happened, I instinctively chose to protect myself, which resulted in a more severe impact on the passenger side and made your injuries worse.â
In the end, she and Jarvis were merely acquaintances. It was only human nature that he chose to protect himself at the critical moment. Hannah didnât blame him. âI were in that situation, I might have made the same choice as you. You donât need to feel guilty.â
Jarvis gave a bitter smile. âThe fact that you donât blame me just shows that I donât hold a place in your heart.â
Hannah laughed. âAfter all, we havenât known each other for very long.â
Jarvis understood what she meant. âDue to certain reasons, my family has decided to send me overseas for work. I might not have the chance to see you again. Weâve been through life and death together. Can I hug you?â
Hannah nodded. âOf course.â
Jarvis opened his arms and held Hannah tightly. Hannah said, âYouâre holding me too tight. I can barely breathe.â
Jarvis immediately let go of her. âIâm sorry!â
Hannah asked, âDid your family decide to send you overseas because of the car accident?â
Jarvis shook his head. âNo, itâs not.â
Hannah asked, âThen can you tell me the real reason?â
Jarvis answered, âThe less you know about certain things, the better.â
Hannah said, âI understand.â
The Alexander familyâs network of relationships was very complicated, involving many interests. Even if Jarvis explained, Hannah wouldnât understand.
Jarvis added, âThe scenery here is really nice. Sitting by the river, listening to the sound of water, can calm oneâs mind.â
Hannah said, âThis tranquility will probably be broken soon.â
