“Fabian! Stop, stop at once!” Hannah protested. At the rate he was going, she would definitely be ravaged by him.
Fabian looked up and stared intently at her with a smile. “I will only stop if you beg me and say ‘Hubby, I admit my mistake. I’ll let you have your way after the transplant.’“
Hannah blushed in response. You gotta be kidding me! There’s no way I’m going to say something as cringy as that.
“Hmm? Are you refusing? In that case, I’ll just continue.” When Fabian pretended to continue kissing her, she recoiled in fear. “Fine, I’ll say it.”
“Hubby, I admit my mistake. I’ll let you have your way after the operation.” Hannah’s voice was so soft that she sounded like a buzzing mosquito.
“Are you sure I can hear it? Of course, I’m not going to force you to shout it aloud.” Fabian squinted his eyes as he smiled mischievously.
“Hubby, I admit my mistake. I’ll let you have your way after the operation.” After taking a deep breath, Hannah repeated it one more time in a louder voice.
“It seems you have forgotten my request, haven’t you?” Fabian expressed his dissatisfaction.
“Argh!” Hannah was exasperated. But given that he still held her tightly in his embrace, she had no choice but to suppress her displeasure and plead coquettishly, “Hubby, I admit my mistake. I’ll let you have your way after the operation, alright darling?”
Hannah blushed intensely right after she spoke and closed her eyes in embarrassment. She couldn’t believe she actually said something like that, especially in that tone.
Eyes sparkling, Fabian swept her wavy long hair to the back and replied with a smile, “Remember, you said it yourself. There’s no going back on your words after the operation.”
Hannah couldn’t help but scoff at him in silence. Despite being the president of a large conglomerate, he actually used such an unscrupulous method to bully a helpless lady like me. What sort of a man is he?
The moment Fabian released his grip on her, Hannah sprang up from his body at once. “Sheesh, only an unreliable man will need to rely on coercion.” Just as she spoke, she hurried back into her bedroom.
Fabian smiled helplessly to himself but he wasn’t angry at all. He was even worried that she had the impulse to confront Felicia after hearing what he said. Fortunately, his concerns were overblown.
Back in her room, Hannah checked her phone for a while before falling soundly asleep. Given how busy she was over the last few days, it was a rare opportunity for her to take a break. Hence, she would make sure she enjoyed it thoroughly.
By the time she woke up, it was already afternoon. Fabian was no longer at home and she didn’t know where he had gone to.
“Madam, since you’re awake, I’ll heat up the broth for you. Mr. Norton had instructed me to serve you broth before he left.” Amelia casually remarked when she saw that Hannah was awake.
“Damn it, Fabian, you didn’t forget to torment me before leaving!” Hannah grumbled softly to herself.
Unable to hear her words clearly, Amelia asked, “Madam, what did you say?”
“Oh, nothing. Amelia, there’s no need to heat up the broth as I don’t feel like drinking it now. I’ll do it myself later,” Hannah remarked with a smile while clearing her throat.
“Alright then. Anyway, I’m going out grocery shopping now. I’ll heat it up for you when I’m back,” Hannah replied.
Less than two minutes after Amelia left, Hannah rushed into the kitchen and poured what’s left of the bone broth down the washbasin. When she was done, she felt liberated and remarked, “Let’s see how you’re going to mess with me again.”
After looking at the time, Hannah decided to visit her brother. After all, she was worried about Winson as his life was in danger.
With that thought in mind, she left home and hailed a cab toward the hospital.
As Hannah stared blankly out the window, she brushed her finger lightly against the glass. Having heard Fabian’s explanation, she no longer bore a grudge toward her father. Nevertheless, she still couldn’t bring herself to address him as “Dad”.
As for Felicia, Hannah couldn’t help but sigh. Although Felicia was full of schemes, Hannah was considered by the Blackwood family as an outsider and had no authority to interfere.
