Chapter 1532
Pandora said, âYouâre practically a man now. You tower over your sister by a full head, yet she still bosses you around. Itâs not like youâre losing any flesh over it.â
Farley, who was in his growing phase, had shot up in height within a few months. He was now almost as tall as Steven.
âYou guys have made me feel like Iâm just an add-on to this family more than once.â Farley grumbled.
Hannah was quick to reassure him, âDonât be silly, kid. Weâre just messing with you. Weâre a family of four and everyone is important. We wouldnât be complete without you.â
Hannahâs concern seemed to please Farley, âHmph, of course Iâm an indispensable part of this family. I was just teasing you too.â
She reached out a hand to pinch his ear, âDare to tease your sister again?â
Farley winced, âGo easy on me. I wonât do it again, I promise.âe2
This was the power of a bigger sister. Even though Farley was taller than Hannah by a head, he didnât dare to dodge when she reached for his ear.
With a sidelong glance at Pandora, Jeo chuckled at the siblingsâ antics, âLook at those two. Theyâre all grown up, but they still act like kids.â
âThey have a great bond, donât they?â Pandora said) smiling.
âYes, but it worries me.â Jeo admitted, âHannahâs been getting better each day, which is wonderful. But in the quiet moments, I canât help but worry.â
âAbout what?â Pandora asked.
Jeo leaned closer to whisper, âSteven hasnât come to see Hannah in a while. Has he given up on winning her back?â
Pandora shot him a look, âIsnât it better that he stays away? Do you want to push our daughter back into the fire?â
âOf course not.â Jeo said, scratching his head, âBut I canât help but feel Hannah still has feelings for Steven. If Steven doesnât reach out to her, itâs Hannah who will suffer.â
For the past few months, Hannah had been focused on her recovery and hadnât mentioned Steven in front of her parents. But as her parents, they knew their daughterâs feelings all too well.
âI know you donât approve of Hannah getting back with Steven.â Jeo said, âBut if she wants to reconcile with him, donât stand in their way.â
Pandora gave him a hard pinch, âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â
âHow am I wrong?â Jeo asked, rubbing his sore arm.
âYouâre right.â Pandora admitted, âI donât want Hannah to marry Steven again. But if she decides she wants to be with him. I will respect her decision.ââ
âReally?â Jeo asked, eyes wide.
âIâm Hannahâs mother. I carried her for nine months and gave birth to her. Sheâs my flesh and blood. I love her more than anyone.â Pandora said.
Jeo grinned, âIâm glad to hear that. I was worried youâd oppose them no matter what, making things difficult for Hannah.â
âBut itâs not just about what Hannah wants.â Pandora said, âSteven has to want it too. For all we know, he might have moved on and found someone else, while our silly daughter is still hung up on him.â
Jeo looked taken aback, âSurely not. You see Stevenâs feelings for Hannah; they couldnât have been fake.â
âThe Dixons have everything they could want.â Pandora said, âSteven is surrounded by beautiful women. Do you really think heâd stay faithful to Hannah?â
