Chapter 389
Lord Protector Novel
Hannah replied petulantly, âYou did not have any experience in the past, so youâre unable to understand. What are you rambling about at such an old age?â
âOf course, itâs the proposal. Zeke didnât officially propose to Lacey, so why did she agree to marry him?â She added matter-of-factly, âHe simply asked her to marry him in the car, and Lacey agreed.
Thatâs so humiliating!â
âIs that it?â Daniel was at a loss for words. âNow theyâre almost as close as husband and wife and have destined the rest of their lives for each other. If he were to propose again, does it hold any meaning? Is it really important to you women?â
âWhat do you know,â Hannah sneered, âPeople like yourself and Zeke are what the internet deems as hopeless, someone who should be a bachelor for the rest of their lives. I was blind back then; thatâs why I married you.â She added, âTo tell you the truth, women find two things important before they get married. First, will be the proposal and second, the wedding. Donât you agree?â
âWomen are so hard to understand. You donât have to say, which man will know how much a proposal means to the woman,â Daniel shot her a wry smile. âHowever, I still remember the time I wooed and proposed to you...â
His words caused Hannah Lawsonâs temper to spark. She scoffed, âWhat proposal? Donât you put a feather in your cap! You just kept coming over to my house whenever you were free back then.
Whether it was to retrieve water or to chop firewood, you just worked without saying anything. My mum even offered you food, but you declined it.â
She reminisced, âAt that time, your family still owed us money. My parents always thought that you were trying to work off the debt. In the end, it was because I stumbled upon your diary and saw that you liked me...How in the world do you consider this as a proposal?â
Daniel turned frantic, âYou...you peeked at my diary? When was it?â
Hannah sneered, âB*****d, you should know whatâs good for you. If I didnât peek at your diary, do you think you would have married me?â
She added, âWith that said, although youâre boring and slow-witted, youâre loyal to the family and able to endure the hardships. Zekeâs character is the same as yours. He is dependable. I can relax after handing Lacey over to him.â
Daniel let out a silly grin.
This is the first time Hannah praises me!
âDaniel Hinton, Iâm telling you, donât you ever remind Zeke.â Hannah warned, âIf you were to remind him, thereâs no meaning to the proposal anymore, might as well not have one.â
Daniel nodded. âYeah, I know.â
However, he had different thoughts. He decided to find an opportunity to provide Zeke with some hints.
Because he had not proposed back then, it had caused resentment in Hannahâs heart. His daughter should not end up as a resentful woman.
In another part of the house, Zeke was tossing and turning on the sofa, unable to sleep.
He still could not understand and figure out the missing link to move Lacey.
He felt extremely confused.
Woman, why are you such a pain? Canât you just tell me what you deSire? Why do you have to affect my appetite?
He rather not think about the issue. Instead, he fished out his phone to give Lone Wolf of the Military District a call.
Once the call connected, Zeke asked, âLone Wolf, has Logan Hugh make any moves recently?â
He had commanded Lone Wolf to watch Loganâs every movement.
Lone Wolf reported back, âSir, I havenât noticed anything unusual about Logan Hugh. He didnât even get connections to save his student, Sam Clemons.â
Zeke nodded and replied, âOkay.â
This Logan Hugh is too cautious.
At first, Zeke wanted to find out the black sheep in his circle by using Logan.
However, Logan had not used his connections to save other people, which made Zeke unable to proceed with the investigation.
Lone Wolf remarked, âHowever, Logan Hughâs phone bill has soared during this period. He should have contacted many people over the phone.â
