Chapter 1542

Farley said, “In my memory, the tallest man I’ve ever met was my brother-in-law, Steven. Especially the first time I met him, he seemed like a giant.”

Farley’s first encounter with Steven was a year before Steven married Hannah. At the time, Farley was just in second or third grade, a little squirt of a boy. Steven’s towering height of six foot two made him seem like a real giant in Farley’s eyes, leaving a deep impression.

Hannah said, “Once you get into college and see more of the world, you’ll realize there are always bigger fish, Farley.”

Farley asked, “But how many men can really measure up to Steven?”

Hannah didn’t answer. She had to admit, it was a fair point. How many men could truly match Steven’s excellence? The ones she knew, were mostly Steven’s good friends. It seemed, the rich hung out with the rich, while the handsome had good-looking friends.

Farley continued, “Will Steven come over for Christmas again this year?”

Hannah said, “You know he’s your former brother-in-law, which means we’re divorced. He has no reason to spend Christmas at our house.”e2

Farley said, “But he came over last Christmas, didn’t he? He even played chess with Dad. If I remember correctly, you two were already divorced at that time.”

Feeling guilty, Hannah couldn’t argue anymore and put on her big sister authority, “You keep bringing up Steven. If you miss him so much, why don’t you go find

him?”

Farley asked, “What’s there to feel guilty about?”

Pandora, turned around, Farley, it’s a festive time. Let’s not bring up such an unlucky topic!”

Farley said, “Okay.”

Hannah didn’t say anything. Luckily, Pandora didn’t know Steven was following them in his car. If she did, she would have been so upset that she might lose her appetite for dinner.

Not long after, they exited the highway. Steven’s car was still following at a safe distance. Hannah was on edge, worrying that Steven might follow them home and upset everyone in the family. She took out her phone, ready to send him a message to stop him from following them. But just as she was about to send the message, she saw Steven’s car take a different turn at the crossroads. Seeing his car drive away, Hannah put away her phone, sighing in relief.

After a long day, everyone was exhausted. Jeo made a pot of spaghetti, and they all had a portion before heading off to bed.

Hannah was tired too, but her mind was buzzing with the day’s events, keeping her awake. So, she picked up her phone and sent a message to her friend Cornelia on WhatsApp: [Nelly, you awake?]

Cornelia quickly replied: [Yes, still hanging out my son.]

Hannah: [Can we video chat?]

Cornelia received the message and made a video call.

Hannah quickly answered, “Nelly.”
