Fabian began to get slightly angry when he heard what she said. She’s obviously doing this on purpose.
As she spoke, Hannah walked to the dining room without batting him another eye and started to enjoy her breakfast.
Fabian stood right where he was and shook his head. He knew that she had definitely made him breakfast but she was just being stubborn. With that, he made his way into the kitchen.
“Oh my. Seriously? I’ve got to make my own food when I’ve already gotten married. Fortunately, I’ve got some skills. Otherwise, I would be starved to death.”
Then, he walked to Hannah with a plate in hand before sitting down beside her.
You’re shameless! I was just joking and now you’re feeling smug? I shouldn’t have fried the egg for you. Let’s see what you’d say when that happens.
“You talk as though what you said was true,” Hannah huffed as she rolled her eyes.
She had indeed noticed that Fabian had changed a lot. He would never eat breakfast with her in the past. Each time, she would have to eat two portions of food by herself and it made her put on weight.
Besides, he always had a stern look on his face, as if she had done something terribly wrong. Now, however, he was smiling more and looked so much more pleasant.
Whatever. As long as you’re changing for the better then it’s fine. It’s just that you’re so much more shameless than you were in the past.
“Mmm. It seems like my cooking has improved,” Fabian praised after taking a bite.
“You-” It was me! I was the one who made that!
“Um… About Yvette’s matter?” Hannah asked when she suddenly thought of it.
“Hmm? What about Yvette?” he asked with a smile.
He clearly knows what I’m talking about! She knew that he was deliberately asking her that. Even though he had done that, she still couldn’t stop herself from worrying. So she asked sulkily, “You promised me that you’ll let the police handle this. You said that you wouldn’t intervene.”
As she spoke, Fabian’s phone rang and it was a call from the person he instructed to handle Yvette’s matter. He answered it and turned it on speaker mode.
“Mr. Norton, I have filed a lawsuit with the court and they have issued a subpoena. The hearing will be held today.”
“Alright, I got it. Remember, whatever happens in the court, stays. We will not intervene with the court’s decision.” he purposely said as he glanced at Hannah.
“Yes, Mr. Norton.”
Fabian hung up once he heard the person’s reply.
“You heard that, didn’t you? Are you relieved now?” he asked.
In all honesty, he was actually worried about Hannah’s kindness. If she continues on, she will still get the short end of the stick even if I’m here. Luckily she’s already promised me that this will be the last time.
Just as Fabian said, she finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the person’s reply. She was too kind. If someone’s life was ruined all because they had bullied her, her conscience would be greatly condemned. Regina was an example of it.
She then smiled and said to Fabian, “Thank you.”
Hmm? He was about to continue with his breakfast. However, when he heard her words, he couldn’t help but nod. We’re already a family. Why is she thanking me as if she’s some distant stranger?
So he replied with a smile, “If that’s the case, you’ll be the one in charge of washing the dishes today.”
“Huh?” Hannah uttered, unable to react.
By the time she came to a realization, Fabian had already repeated his sentence another time.
Hmph! You talk as though you’ve washed the dishes previously.
She rolled her eyes and said as she took a glance at him, “Um… I lost our bet. What do you want me to do?”
I have to do it anyway. Let’s just get this done and over with. I’m starting to feel pressured when he’s not saying anything about it.
“Hmm… This isn’t an urgent matter. I’ll tell you when I think of something.”
Fabian was already done with his breakfast by then. He got up and paced towards the study.
“Today’s breakfast was great. Make them for me every day from now on.”
