Chapter 1513
Watching Stevenâs gloomy face, Jarvis smugly commented, âHannah has forgotten about her ex-husband, so does Pandora?â
Hannah rolled her eyes.
Were these two in cahoots? What on earth had they been talking about while they were out?
Pandora chimed in, âOh, Iâm old, my memoryâs not what it used to be. Weâre about to eat, so if you have no other business here, you can put Farley down and leave.â
Hannah whispered to Pandora, âMom, Stevenâs just been a big help. It was his doctor who took care of Farleyâs injuries.â
Pandora gave Hannah a stern look, âIf you donât want to get back with him, then donât accept any of his favors, or youâll never be able to cut him off.â
Hannah said, âI didnât mean to accept his help; it was an emergency.âe2
Pandora sternly interrupted her, âNo more excuses.â
Pandora continued, âNow, tell me straight, do you want to cut him off completely, or do you want to make up with him?â
Hannah said, â⦠of course, I want to cut him off completely.â
âGood, if you canât do it, Iâll do it for you.â Pandora went into the house and came out with a wad of crumpled bills, all earned from their small business.
She handed the money to Steven, âSteven, hereâs 200. Is that enough to cover Farleyâs medical expenses? If not, I can send you more on WhatsApp.ââ
Steven said, âWhat are you doing?â
Pandora said, âWeâve made it clear to you before. You and Hannah are over. You promised to let her go and not to pester her anymore. As the CEO of the Dixon Group, why canât you keep your word?â
Steven tidied up his clothes nervously and put down Farley, âI promised to let her go home, but I didnât promise not to keep in touch with her in the future.ââ
âYouâre good-looking and wealthy, you can have any girl you want. I donât understand why you keep pestering Hannah. It does her reputation no good.â Pandora forcibly stuffed the money into his hand, âTake this money, I donât want my daughter to owe you anything.â
Steven took the money and stuffed it into Farleyâs hands, âThis is the money I gave you for stationery. Keep it.â
Farley was flabbergasted. Should he really take this money? Not taking it seemed even more inappropriate. Should he leave this tricky situation to them to handle?
Steven glanced at Hannah again, âI should leave. You donât have to worry about your father and Farley, Iâll have someone take care of them.â
Hannah said, âNo need.â
Steven ignored her and turned to leave.
Hannah just didnât understand herself. Seeing the desolation in Stevenâs eyes, she felt a pang of discomfort.
Jarvis said, âTake care, Steven. We hope you wonât bother our lives again.â
Steven made no response and quickly disappeared from their sight.
Hannah asked, âMom, Jarvis, what were you guys talking about while we were gone?â
Jarvis replied, âExactly what you saw.â
He continued, âAre you having second thoughts about Steven?â
Hannah remained silent.
Jarvis went on, âIf you really canât let him go, go chase him back. He hasnât gone far, thereâs still time.â
Hannah didnât want to discuss this anymore, she turned to her mother, âMom, can dad really handle this?â
Pandora replied, âPass me the barbecue stuff.â
Hannah stamped her foot in frustration, âMom!â
