I may have Uncle Hendrick and Aunt Gillian on my side, but they’re not around often enough to help me out! This won’t do… I’ll have to get Hannah on my side if I am to shut that smug witch up! Jason thought to himself angrily as he shot her a disdainful glare.
He then stepped forward and held Hannah’s hand as he asked, “How was your sleep, Hannah? Shall I arrange for you to have a bigger bed as well?”
Hannah was so caught off guard that she pulled her hand back immediately. “Oh, uh… That won’t be necessary! I slept very well last night!”
“I see…” Jason lowered his gaze as he racked his brain for an idea. Hmm… There has to be something else I can do for her… Aha! I’ve got it!
“Hannah, you’ve gotten really pale after the surgery, and we can’t have that now. I heard that one of our companies has recently launched a new cosmetic product that works wonders! I’ll bring you two sets tomorrow, okay? I’m sure Fabian would love how you look after using it!”
What has gotten into Jason today? Why is he suddenly offering to change my bed and give me cosmetic products? I bet he must be up to something! Hannah couldn’t help but feel that something was off about his behavior and decided to decline his offer. “Thanks, but I’ve still got plenty of those at home, so I’ll just have Amelia bring some over for me.”
“But that’s so troublesome! Our company produces this stuff anyway, so it’d be a lot easier if I just have someone deliver them to you!” Jason tried his best to persuade her.
Please accept this gift, Hannah! I don’t know what else I can do to gain your favor!
“I…” Hannah couldn’t understand his logic at all. How is it more troublesome to bring some over from my own house?
Jason then pulled out his phone and called up one of his contacts. “Hey, Paul! I need you to bring two sets of our latest cosmetic product over right now! Yes, I’ll send you the location!”
He’s really getting someone to bring it over? What is with him?
“There, I’ve made the call, Hannah! He’ll bring it over in a bit!” Jason said while breathing a sigh of relief. Ha! There’s no way she’ll decline my offer now!
“Um… Did you get yourself into some kind of trouble?” Hannah asked after giving it some thought. I bet he must’ve offended Fabian or something and wants me to defend him! That’s why he’s trying to bribe me with gifts!
“What? No way! I’m just trying to do my part in caring for your well-being, Hannah! Besides, I’m a good boy! There’s no way I’d get myself in trouble!” Jason replied.
“Are you sure? I might be able to help you out if you tell me the truth…” Hannah said in disbelief. God knows what trouble this daredevil has gotten himself into… The sooner he tells me about it, the easier it is for me to help him out!
“How could you say that about me, Hannah? I genuinely care about you, and this is what you think of me? How hurtful is that…”
“All right, all right! I believe you, okay?” Hannah cut him off before he could go any further.
“That’s more like it! I care about you a lot, Hannah!”
“Hmm… It’s almost time, so he should be here any minute…” Helen said while looking at her watch.
Fabian chuckled. “Good thing we’re on the same side, huh? Otherwise, I’d be the one getting humiliated.”
The two of them then exchanged glances before bursting into laughter. Sensing a piercing gaze from behind, Helen turned around and saw Jason staring at them from afar.
