Chapter 1531
After several months, his Hannah was looking more radiant than ever. Not only had she filled out a bit, but her complexion was rosy and healthy. She looked invigorated, more beautiful, and enchanting than before. Especially her genuine smile, so sweet and bright, it could make anyone feel her happiness.
During their years together, she used to smile. But many times, those smiles were forced and bitter.
Suddenly, a terrifying thought entered Stevenâs mind. Was love about possession, or about making the other person happy? If he had to choose, he would undoubtedly choose possession. Yet, Steven also yearned to see Hannahâs genuine, radiant smile, and her living a carefree and joyful life.
âSteven, sheâs not happy with you. She doesnât love you, let her go! Set her free, and let her live her life!â Steven kept telling himself, over and over again.
But making that decision was too difficult. Because he knew once he decided to really let go, to give up on their years of intertwined feelings, Hannah would become a stranger to him. Perhaps in ten or twenty years when they meet again, she wouldnât recognize him.
As Steven was trapped in his thoughts, Rickâs voice pulled him back, âPresident Dixon, would you like to get out and say hello?â
Steven wanted to, but he was worried about disturbing the Ableson family, âNo need. Just follow their car, and donât disturb them.âe2
Rick replied, âUnderstood.â
The two of them watched the bustling Ableson family through the car window. Pandora was stuffing two shopping carts full of groceries into the trunk, and because they had bought so much, the trunk wasnât enough. She picked out the items that couldnât be crushed and handed them to Hannah and Farley, âHannah, Farley, these will have to go in the back seat with you guys.â
âOkay. Farley, hold onto these.â Hannah quickly took the bags from Pandora and handed them to Farley. All of them were filled with delicate fruits.
Farley obediently held onto them, âCould you open the car door for me? Iâll get in first.â
Hannah took out a bag of oranges to hold herself, then helped Farley open the car door, âSit carefully. Donât crush the fruits. Otherwise, weâll have nothing to eat during the holiday.â
Farley said, âHannah, which is more important, me or the fruits?â
Hannah pinched his face, âOf course, you are the most important.â
Farley said, âThatâs better.â
Hannah said, âIf it werenât for you, who would help me with the heavy lifting at home?â
Farley said, âSome things are better understood than said.â
Hannah said, âBut Iâm just stating the fact.â
Farley said, âMom, your daughter is bullying me again.
