Chapter 1428
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
Hanna said, âYou must be kiddingâ¦â
âNo, I am serious. There are so many people who want to be friends with Calvin. Naturally, they will want to be friends with you too.â Alan patted Calvinâs shoulder and said to Hanna, âSpeaking of which, Calvin is really serious about this relationship. He is here only for you. He never liked this kind of party.
How are you going to repay him?â
Hanna didnât know how to answer Alanâs question seeing his teasing smile.
Calvin said to Alan, âStop talking about it. Why are you here?â
âIâm here to meet beautiful girls, of course! Iâm still single.â Alan smiled, âOkay, I wonât disturb you any longer.â
Then Alan walked toward a group of acquaintances of his on the other side of the hall. Hanna turned to Calvin. âSorry, I didnât know you were not interested.â
âI was not interested because it would be boring to be here alone. But I think it wonât be boring if youâre with me.â Calvin said, âThere will be an auction soon. All the auction revenues will be donated to charities. If you find anything interesting, just raise your paddle. Iâll pay.â
Hanna said, âNo, no, no. Thanks but itll be a waste of money.â
Calvin said, âJust take it as charity work of the Gunner Group. Even if you donât do it, I will join the bidding just for charities anyway.â
Hanna said in a low voice, âI⦠I see.â
Calvin said, âSo if you find anything you like, youâd better raise your paddle and try to get it.â
At the same time, Alan was walking to Queena after chatting with a few friends. He said to Queena, âYou have been staring at Calvin and Hanna with your eyes wide open for too long Is it so hard to accept reality?â
Queena said gloomily, âHanna? You seem to be quite close to her. Do you think sheâs a friend?â
Alan said, âWhat can I do? Calvin loves her.â
âLoves her?â Queena snorted disdainfully, âCalvin will never fall in love with such a plain girl. He is just bored.]
âPlain?â Alan chuckled, âHave you heard that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder? You thought Rosalie was plain too but Jonathan loved her deeply. How do you explain that?â
Queena felt like/she was suffocating. She gritted her teeth angrily. She decided to let Hanna know that there was a vast difference between Hanna and people who were born rich!
Hanna stayed with Calvin. Although no reporter dared to come to her for an interview, a lot of people came for small talk.
Many people came and went, including a lot of big stars who Hanna had seen a lot on television.
Looking at so many celebrities who she could only see on television at such a short distance, Hanna found it quite interesting.
Suddenly, Hanna was stunned when she caught a glimpse of a person not far away.
It was Amelia!
The man beside Amelia, whom she had seen in the headlines, was Warren, Ameliaâs husband.
Amelia and Warren stood beside each other intimately. It seemed that they had a close relationship and some reporters were around them, interviewing them.
Hanna heard Calvinâs voice. âWhat are you looking at?â
Hanna said, âAmelia and her husband are over there.â I didnât expect to see them here.â
Calvin looked at Hanna and said, âAmelia and Warren? Do you want to say hello to them?â
âSure.â Hanna said, âBut Iâd better wait until the reporters leave.â
After a while, the reporters finished the interview and walked away from Amelia and Warren. Then Hanna walked to them with Calvin.
Hanna greeted. âAmelia.â
Amelia saw Hanna and looked a little bit surprised. âHanna, so happy to see you here.â
Hanna nodded. âYou, too.â
Amelia said hello to Calvin and introduced her husband to Hanna. âMy husband, Warren.â Then she turned to Hanna and said, âWarren, this is Mr. Gunnerâs girlfriend, Hanna.â
Hanna reached out her hand to Warren. âNice to meet you, Mr. York.â
Warren shook hands with Hanna and said politely, âYou, too.â Then he looked back and forth at Calvin and Hanna.
After chatting casually for a while, Hanna said to Amelia, âAmelia, can I have a private moment with you over there? It has been a long time. I want to talk with you about something alone.â
Amelia smiled, âOkay.â
Hanna turned to Calvin.
Calvin said, âGo ahead. Mr. York and I will come to find you later.â
Hanna and Amelia walked toward the rest area on the other side of the hall.
Looking at Hanna and Ameliaâs backs, Warren said to Calvin, âI never expected that you would have a girlfriend one day.â
Calvin asked, âWhy?â
Warren said, âSo, you donât love Rosalie anymore?!â Actually, Warren an Calvin werenât so close. But because of Rosalie and Amelia, they knew about each otherâs stories more or less Calvinâs mood darkened slightly. He said, âWhen did you start to gossip about other peopleâs relationships?â
Warren murmured as if he was asking Calvin or himself, âIâm just a bit curious. You once loved her so much after all. Iâm just curious if you can really stop loving someone like that.â
Calvin narrowed his eyebrows and said, âThere are so many people in this world who can love more than one person. Donât question is ridiculous?â
Warren pondered over Calvinâs words for a moment and suddenly laughed, âYes, itâs ridiculous. In this world, few people will love only one person. After all, we have so many other choices. You can always find the second, the third, and even the fourth one.â
Calvin said thoughtfully, âI thought you and Amelia were a happy couple since you were back together.
But it seems now that I was wrong.â
Warren said, âThere will always be a lot of things in this world that are out of my control.â
Even though he was hypnotized, he still fell in love with Amelia again and couldnât really give up his feelings for this woman.
Maybe it was all destiny.
