Chapter 1435: Chapter 1435

Chapter 1435

Hannah had once whined to Comelia about Steven’s reluctance to take her back to the Dixon clan. So, that’s what Steven was thinking.

The lack of communication between them led Hannah to mistakenly believe that Steven thought she was beneath him, that she wasn’t good enough to meet the Dixons, and that’s why he wouldn’t take her home.

Now, as an outsider, Comelia had stumbled onto the truth. But she couldn’t just spill the beans. Steven had to figure it out himself to clear up Hannah’s doubts. “Did you ever ask Hannah if she wanted to go back to the Dixons for Christmas?”

Steven retorted, “The Dixons were rude to her. Why would she want to go there?”

Hannah had a thing for him back then. Of course, she wanted to go back to the Dixons with him for Christmas. But he, he never really cared about Hannah. He had no clue how much she had hoped to go home with him for Christmas, for him to introduce her to the Dixons.

He had never done that.

Comelia chimed in again, “If you have the time, have a heart-to-heart with Hannah. Find out what she really wants.”

Steven didn’t respond.

Comelia continued, “Also, Hannah doesn’t trust you. How will you gain her trust? Only you would know.”

Steven replied, “I’ll try. Did she say anything else?”

Comelia said, “She doesn’t want to live here anymore. She wants to keep her distance from you.”

Hearing this, Steven was heartbroken. “Once she’s better, wherever she wants to go, I’ll take her.”

Comelia responded, “Alright.”

Steven added, “Cornelia, can I ask you something?”

Cornelia said, “Shoot.”

Steven asked, “Back when Marc pushed you away, faked a divorce, and left you alone with a baby on the way, why didn’t you hold a grudge against him?”

Comelia answered, “Who said I didn’t? I was furious with him.”

Steven asked again, “Then how did you forgive him?”

Comelia said, “Because I felt his kindness. Words can be lies, anything can be fake, but what the heart feels is always real.”

Steven said, “I get it. You go back to your husband and kids.”

Comelia said, “If Hannah needs me, call me anytime.”

Steven said, “Thanks! I appreciate your help with Hannah!”

Cornelia responded, “I’ll take that, thank you. Also, if you want Hannah to forgive you, stop forcing her to do things she doesn’t want to. If you truly love her, you need to respect her first.”

Steven asked, “Respect?”

He understood the word and knew how to act on it. It was not that he couldn’t, but that he had deliberately chosen not to. Because once…

He regretted treating the woman he loved in such a wrong way, and the inhumane things he had done to Hannah. He didn’t know if he would ever get a chance to make amends.

Comelia said, “I have to go now.”

Steven stopped her. “Cornelia, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.”
