Chapter 1516
Hannah said, âGood luck with everything!â
âUm, Iâm leaving now.â 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 couldnât forget her past with Steven. If her inner turmoil couldnât be resolved, she couldnât live freely. And the only person who could unlock Hannahâs knot
was Steven.
Hannah watched Jarvisâs lonely figure, feeling sad as well. She hadnât known Jarvis for long, but she always felt they were like old friends. They understood each otherâs 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.
âAh!â Hannah was startled, instinctively screamed. But the next moment, she smelled a familiar scent.
Stevenâs deep voice sounded in her ear, âHannah, itâs me. Donât be afraid.â
Hannah was so angry that she gritted her teeth, staring at him. She was scared because it was him, âWhat do you want?âe2
Steven held her tightly, smelling the familiar scent on her, as if he felt at peace. As long as she was there, he wouldnât be so panicked.
Hannah said, âLet me go! If you donât, Iâll call my boyfriend to come back.â
Steven couldnât bear to let go, âHannah, stop playing tricks in front of me. You canât fool me: I know you have nothing to do with Jarvis.â
Everything could be seen through by him; Hannah was more and more angry, âWhether 1 have anything to do with him, what does it matter to you?â
Steven said, âI know, we have no legal relationship after our divorce. But Hannah, I canât live without you.â
Hannah said, âWhat are you talking about? We have never had any relationship.â She didnât want to listen to this manâs sweet talk at all.
Steven said, âHannah, stop pretending. I know you havenât forgotten me and you remember me.â
Since he knew, Hannah didnât play with him anymore, âSteven, if you want to play, find someone willing to play with you. I donât want to it anymore. Let alone play the loving couple with you.â
âIâm not joking, my feelings for you are sincere.â Steven used a little force to hold her tightly in his arms. His chest was broad, so she couldnât break free. She could only lean tightly against his chest, listening to his rhythmic heartbeat.
Steven continued, âI 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.â
