Chapter 1564

[Hannah, I promised you, without your permission, I’d never show up in front of your parents. I’m a man of my word.]

[Hannah, I shouldn’t have threatened you.]

[Hannah, as long as you talk to me, I’ll do whatever you say.]

[Hannah, my queen, please release me from the doghouse.]

[Hannah, it’s so cold outside. I think I might have caught a chill.]

Upon seeing these messages and considering the bitterly cold weather, Hannah finally gave in. She accepted his friend request and added him back.

Almost immediately after accepting his request, Steven’s messages started pouring in.e2

[Hannah, you finally had mercy on me.]

[Hannah, rest assured, as long as I have a spot in your friend list, I won’t bother you when you don’t feel like talking.]

[Hannah, whenever you need someone to chat with, just open our conversation chat window, and I’ll be there around the clock.]

He bombarded her with messages, seemingly afraid that Hannah might banish him again at the slightest sign of annoyance.

Hannah quickly texted back, [Are you free tomorrow night?]

Steven, [Yes, yes, yes…even if I’m not, I’m always at your beck and call, my queen.]

Hannah, [Then come over for dinner tomorrow.]

Steven, [Yes, yes, yes. Does this mean your parents know I’m in Haines now, and I can openly show up before them tomorrow?]

Hannah didn’t respond to his message. Instead, she turned to Pandora and said, “Mom, Steven has agreed to come over for dinner tomorrow.”

“Okay, it’s getting late. We need to get up early tomorrow, so let’s call it a night.” Pandora responded, opening a nightstand drawer and rummaging around until she found a tube of ointment. “Apply this to your neck after you shower. And tell Steven to be careful. There have been incidents because of

hickies on the news…”

Hannah’s face turned bright red as she grabbed the ointment and bolted out of the room.

Pandora watched her go, her eyes filled with worry. Steven was not an easy man to deal with, and if Hannah tried to play his game, she’d lose. If it were up to Pandora, it would be best to stay as far away from such a person as possible and preferably never get entangled with him again for the rest of her life. But Hannah just couldn’t forget him.

Now, all Pandora could do was hope that Steven’s intentions were genuine and that he would never hurt Hannah.

Hannah made her way downstairs and back to her room on the second floor. What she

These photos were taken a year ago behind Steven’s back. They were a bit risqué and had a mature, sexy vibe. If Steven had known about them beforehand, they would never have been taken.

“I took them a year ago, but I only just received the album,” Hannah approached him, whispering in his ear, “Do you like them?”
