“Oh, it’s you, young lad!” Lyna was likewise extremely surprised upon seeing Jason, but she was a person who socialized a lot, so she wasn’t a hothead like him.
As soon as she spotted him, her mind began whirring at warp speed. He’s now in Hannah’s hospital room, and he even came to the hospital even earlier than I did this morning, so he must have a close relationship with her.
She knew that she couldn’t afford to make an enemy out of Hannah right now, so she was all smiles with Jason.
“Stop acting like we are close!” A ball of anger blazed within Jason. He had wanted to lay into Lyna when he bumped into her today, but he was on a mission entrusted by Fabian, so he had no choice but to retreat. But things are different now! Fabian isn’t here, so no one can control me now!
“Jason! How could you talk to Lyna like that? Hurry up and apologize to her!” Hannah chastised, hoping that he would listen, as she inwardly exclaimed, This is bad!
However, Jason said nothing, merely twisting his head to the side in utter reluctance. If it were someone else saying that, I would’ve torn her ages ago!
“Jason is still young and doesn’t know better, so please don’t take it to heart,” Hannah said to Lyna with a smile. She felt rather embarrassed by Jason’s behavior since Lyna was here to visit her.
“No, no, it’s fine.” Despite the fury within Lyna, she wore a smile on her face though the smile appeared exceedingly strained.
Meanwhile, Fabian, who was currently in the president’s office, placed the documents down onto the table and started tapping his fingers on the tabletop rhythmically in contemplation. A while later, he slowly got to his feet and walked over to the window. As he gazed out at the bustling city, the corners of his mouth lifted.
“Never had I expected to be bewitched by this dumb girl.” He shook his head, but a smile that was an embodiment of his tenderness appeared on his face. At some point in time, my life has actually changed because of Hannah Young!
After an indeterminate time, he gathered his wits about him. Snagging his jacket from his chair and draping it over his arm, he then walked out.
“Head to Norton Residence,” Fabian murmured placidly after getting into the car even as his eyes glinted.
Earlier, he had already decided that he wanted to have Hannah be his woman legally.
At that, the driver was a touch perplexed. Why does Mr. Norton seem like an entirely different person today? He even seems to have spoken in a much gentler tone!
Soon after, the car gradually came to a stop in front of an exquisite courtyard. There were two sizeable words in flamboyant print on the ancient-looking signage above the door: Norton Residence.
After opening the car door, Fabian looked up at the signage. Then, he strode in on his long and slender legs.
“Welcome back, Mr. Norton,” someone greeted as soon as he stepped into the house.
Inclining his head a fraction, Fabian inquired, “Is my mother home?”
“Yes. Madam is in the living room.”
Flashing the person a smile, Fabian then walked in.
“I’m home, Mom,” he called out into the room the moment he pushed open the door.
“Oh, you’ve finally got the time to visit me, Mr. Norton,” a disgruntled voice retorted from within the room. A person was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and it was none other than Fabian’s mother, Heather.
“What are you implying, Mom? Aren’t I here to visit you as soon as I’m done with my work?” Fabian said to his mother with a chuckle.
“Oh, really? Are you saying that I should thank you for taking the time to accompany me despite your busy schedule?” Heather riposted, unwilling to relent.
Fabian was rendered speechless by her remark. She’s obviously feeling irked because I haven’t been back in a long while.
“How could you say that, Mom? I’ve got to take good care of the business Dad left me, no? I can’t just disregard company matters,” Fabian argued in return.
“Hmph! You’re always using your father as an excuse when he had never been like you in the past!” Heather countered, not at all taken in by his excuses. However, she then relented considering his excellent attitude. “Ah, never mind. I’ll forgive you since you came back to visit me, but make sure that you don’t do it again.”
