Chapter 1370
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
Lorinâs eyes briefly blazed with agony. Perhaps now he finally realized that the woman who once loved him didnât love him any longer.
âAre you serious about Calvin?â Lorin asked.
Hanna replied without hesitation, âYes, Iâm serious. I hope you donât bother us because Iâm seriously dating him now.â
âBut how much do you know about him?â Lorin continued.
As he mentioned it, she thought of how he got along with his friends and the way they treated the women who adored them in the private room at the party.
People like that had their own perspectives.
And Hanna realized that she came from a world different from theirs.
âIf I want to get to know him, Iâll do it by myself. I donât need anyone else to tell me about him,â Hanna replied before walking into the apartment building.
âDo you believe that he really loves you?â Lorin suddenly stepped forward to block her.
âWhy donât I believe it?â she asked.
âThe person he truly loves is Rosalie Leighton!â Lorin said. âRo wife of Jonathan, the board chairman of Youngblood Group. C pursued Rosalie madly. Even after Rosalie, he didnât date any wo Many ladies and even famous and unknown beautiful actresses in entertainment industry from Strico want to be his girlfriends. Do think he really loves you when he dates you?â
Lorin spat it out in one breath.
Hannaâs body trembled slightly. Rosalie must be the woman she and Calvin had encountered the other day. When he talked to the woman that day, Calvinâs tone was surprisingly soft compared to his usual demeanor.
It had never occurred to Hanna that Calvinâs love for a woman would be so profound.
Lorin used the word âmadlyâ. It just showed how much Calvin loved that woman.
Lorin continued, âIf it werenât for Jonathan, Calvin might have already taken Rosalie away. Calvin may be playing a game with you out of whim.â
âSo you donât believe Calvin truly loves me? Why did Calvin fall in love with a lady like me who comes from a common family and has a normal appearance when there are so many gorgeous and wealthy actors and actresses out there? Thatâs what you think, right?â
Lorin choked and hesitated for a moment before saying, âI⦠just donât want you to be tricked.â
âThen I can tell you very clearly that I didnât get tricked,â Hanna stated. âAnd I think Calvin gave up Rosalie not because his husband was Jonathan, but because Rosalie loved Jonathan.â
Calvin didnât give in because of Jonathanâs power!
âYouâ¦reallyâ¦â For a moment, Lorin didnât know what else to say to persuade her.
âLorin, I think you should understand that I hate deception the most. Thereâs been no deception between Calvin and me since the beginning. I can tell you very clearly that he has never lied to me!
âAfter saying that, Hanna looked away and turned to walk into the building.
Lorin was left behind, standing in front of the building with a bitter smile. âHe has never lied to you?
Hanna, you will realize that you afford to be with a man like him one day!â
Hanna returned to her apartment, put down her purse, walked into bathroom, turned on the faucet, and washed her face.
She looked at her wet face in the mirror. She knew that she was not stunning compared to the women around Calvin, despite being somewhat attractive.
No wonder his friends at the party looked at her with skepticism in their eyes when Calvin took her there.
Well, she was his fake girlfriend after all. It was just a deal between the two of them.
Calvin had never lied to her. Hanna knew better than anyone that he didnât mean it when he said he loved her in front of others.
She knew Calvin was out of her league, so she wouldnât fancy getting things that should not belong to her.
After everything between them was over, her life would become peaceful again. What she did for now was to repay him for sending someone to save her!
All of a sudden, her phone rang. Hanna pulled out her phone from her pocket and looked at the screen.
It was from Calvin.
She swiftly answered the call.
âHey, will you be available tomorrow evening?â Calvinâs cold voice sounded on the phone.
âYes,â she answered.
âThen go to a banquet with me tomorrow evening.â
She was stunned. âA banquet? Is it a formal one?â
âSoft of,â he said.
âBut⦠I donât have a formal dress for that,â Hanna said awkwardly. She barely attended formal events that required formal attire, so she didnât have such apparel in her wardrobe. She would only disgrace him if she showed up at the banquet dressed in casual attire.
Calvin said, âIâll prepare it for you. I will send the driver to pick tomorrow.â
âOh, thatâs nice.â Hanna breathed a sigh of relief.
âThatâs it. Good night,â Calvin said, about to end the call.
âWait,â Hanna couldnât help crying out âWhatâs the matter?â
âWhen you take me to the party, do you really think people will believe that I am your girlfriend? After all, your former girlfriends and I⦠â she murmured.
âWhy donât they believe it? I chose you to be my girlfriend. There is no reason for others not to believe it. I just need you to display your affection for me in front of others.â
âOh? Okay, I got it. Good night,â she murmured.
After ending the call, Hanna looked at her phone with a bitter smile. Was she insecure about herself?
After so many years, she had believed she had overcome the suffering brought on by Lorin and Christine, but she was wrong. She was still affected by it, especially now her boyfriend was Calvin, the most powerful young man in the entertainment industry!
Shaking her head, she urged herself to behave like a good girlfriend no matter what!
The next day, the Gunner familyâs driver picked Hanna up and drove her to a personal styling salon in Strico, where a VIP system had been implemented. Regular people could not join it.
When Hanna walked into the salon, a shop assistant greeted her and asked respectfully, âGood morning. Are you Ms. Hanna Zimmerman?â
