Chapter 1424

Hanna thought this kind of charity gala was far away from her. She was interested in the online content about it and she never expected to be invited to it.

Hanna asked, “Who else in the film crew is invited?”

Shelly said, “The actor who plays the male leading role, Rowan.”

Hanna blinked. “No one else?”

Shelly said, “No.”

Rowan was a big star. Hanna was not surprised that he was invited. But she was surprised that she was invited when none of the directors, producers, and the leading actress were invited. After all, she was only the writer of the original comic, Seeing that Hanna was confused, Shelly said, “Actually, I think that people in the industry all know that you are Calvin’s girlfriend so naturally, they will invite you to the gala.”

Hanna immediately understood. She said, “Can I not go?” After all, the reporters and those weird questions from them bothered her.

Shelly said, “You can ask for Calvin’s opinion. But I think this can be a great opportunity for you to know more people.”

When Calvin picked Hanna up for dinner in the evening, Hanna asked him, “I am invited to the Star Foundation For Charity Gala. Do you think I should go? By the way, do you know about this gala?

It’s…”

Calvin asked thoughtfully, “Yes. Did you receive the invitation letter?”

Hanna nodded, “Rowan and I are both invited.”

Calvin asked, “What do you think about it? Do you want to go?”

“I don’t know. I think the reason why I am invited is that they know I am your girlfriend. I don’t want to run into any reporters. I’m not myself in front of the cameras.” Hanna replied, “And I never attended a gala like this before. It seems that many big shots in the entertainment industry will be there.”

Hanna was curious about a party like this where so many celebrities gathered.

“How about just go and have some fun?” Calvin said, “No reporter will take pictures of you or ask you questions.”

Hanna said in surprise, “How do you know that?”

Calvin said, “Because I’ll be there, too.”

Hanna was stunned. Then she figured it out. Calvin was also very important in the entertainment industry. It would be no surprise if he attended the gala.

“That’s great. If you will be with me, I won’t be scared!” Hanna felt relieved. “I should’ve known. You must have received the invitation letter as well.”

Calvin didn’t say anything but smiled. He had already received the invitation letter but he was not interested at first.

But now he was going to be there with Hanna though he had no interest.

And somehow, Calvin began to look forward to it.

Calvin said, “On that day, I’ll ask someone to pick you up, and then you’ll get your hair done at the salon. And you can choose a dress there.”

Hanna said, “It’s not necessary. You gave me a dress and a set of jewelry when I went to that party with you. They’ll be enough.”

Calvin said, “You should choose a new dress. And I will find some new jewelry later for you.”

Hanna said, “It’s really not necessary. It’ll be a waste. I won’t have other events to wear them.”

Calvin said, “You will have more and more events where you need them so I’d better get more of them for you!

Hanna was stunned and thought Calvin seemed to be implying something.

After dinner, Hanna and Calvin came to the lake for a walk.

The refreshing breeze gently blew.

There were many happy couples around the lake. Hanna couldn’t help but feel envious when she saw them walking hand in hand.

Hanna had been hand in hand with Calvin before. But it was often her who asked for it and then he would agree.

Hanna thought Calvin would never take the initiative to hold her hand when they were alone.

Hanna thought they were far from a real couple though Calvin had said he had a crush on her.

Hanna glanced at those couples hand in hand from time to time.

Suddenly, Hanna stiffened and looked at her right hand in a daze. She saw her right held by Calvin’s left hand.

Hanna asked, “Why are you…”

Calvin asked, “Don’t you want it? I noticed that you glanced at them a lot of times and thought you wanted me to hold your hand.”

Hanna blushed. And she admitted it. “Yes, I do.”

Calvin said, ready to continue to walk, “Then let’s keep walking.”

Hanna suddenly said, “Wait!” She turned around and put her arm around his waist. She buried her face in his arms and murmured, “Thank you for doing this.”

Hanna wanted to tell Calvin the things she hid in her heart since she had plucked the courage to do so.

“Yesterday, you said that you had a crush on me. I was really happy. Even though it’s just a crush, I saw hope.” Hanna said in a low voice, “When I wanted to kiss and touch you, you said you didn’t mind it because we were boyfriend and girlfriend and it was the natural thing to do. But you know what? I think only people really in love should do that kind of thing. People do it because they’re in love, not just because they’re in a relationship.”

Calvin listened quietly to Hanna. He could feel her tension as she spoke. He also felt her grip on his hand tightened.

“Although you said that you wouldn’t feel annoyed if I did those things to you. But I think it will not be something delightful if you don’t really love me.” Hanna continued, “I just selfishly wanted to get closer to you and become more intimate with you. I forgot that the only person who was happy about that was me, not you.”

This was what Hanna was thinking about when watching those couples pass by.

Hanna noticed that those couples smiled joyfully when they behaved intimately.

Hanna never saw that kind of smile on Calvin’s face.

Thinking about how delighted she felt about being intimate with him, Hanna suddenly thought she was a little bit ridiculous.
