Chapter 1507

Hannah and Jarvis’ conversation had long been overheard by Pandora, who was busy in the kitchen. She listened while going about her business, not saying a word. She believed that their love dilemmas were something they had to figure out on their own. When their conversation ended, Pandora finally peeked out from the kitchen. “Hannah, you and Jarvis tidy up the dinner table and move it outside. We’re dining in the yard tonight.”

They were going to grill fish in the yard, eating as they cooked.

“Okay,” Hannah replied.

The dining table was a large round one, with a detachable top and legs. Jarvis, being the strong one, could move it by himself. “I can handle it,” he said.

“Why not we split the tasks? You take the top, and I’ll handle the legs. Two heads are better than one, right?” Hannah suggested.

“I asked you to be my girlfriend, and you refused. Your leg hasn’t recovered yet, and I asked you not to move the table, but you still insist. Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?” Jarvis retorted,

Before Hannah could reply, a commotion broke out outside. “Is Jeo home?”e2

“What’s up?” Jeo asked.

“Farley’s been bitten by Roger’s dog. You better come and have a look, came the anxious response.

Dropping the fish he was handling, Jeo, still wearing his fish-smelling apron, rushed out. “Why would the dog suddenly bite someone?”

“Who knows when a dog would bite?” the man shrugged.

Almost every household in the village had a dog, mainly to ward off intruders, not fellow villagers. There had never been an incident where a dog bit a villager. Farley was not only a favorite among the children but also the village dogs. They would wag their tails happily whenever they saw him.

Roger’s dog used to be carried around by Farley when it was younger. Farley often took it to the market along with his own dog and bought them bones. In theory, Roger’s dog should not have bitten Farley. Something was definitely fishy about this.

Hannah immediately rushed out. “Dad, I’m coming with you.” She was limping due to the pain from running too fast.

Jarvis followed. “Don’t run so fast. I’ll go with your dad.”

Steven, who had been assisting Jeo with the fish, glanced at Hannah. “Stay home, I’ll handle it.”

With Steven going, Hannah was less worried about her father and brother being bullied, but she was still concerned about Farley’s injury. “I…”

Understanding her worries, Steven crouched down in front of her. “Hop on.” He was offering to give her a piggyback ride.

Both of them were divorced. She had made it clear more than once that they were no longer related. But now she needed him and was about to climb on his back

What did that look like?

Jarvis was a sucker for drama. Instead of mediating their argument, he crouched down in front of Hannah. “President Dixon, I’m Hannah’s boyfriend. If anyone’s giving her a ride, it should be me.”

Now, Hannah was even more torn. She didn’t want to rely on Steven, let alone Jarvis.

Jarvis had feelings for her, which she couldn’t reciprocate. She shouldn’t give him false hope. She shouldn’t waste his life.

“If you don’t hop on now, your Dad and brother will be in trouble,” Steven warned.
