Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 875
This statement was directed at Kennedy, but Hannah was actually indirectly rejecting Noah.
Noahâs expression slightly changed. Kennedy was adept at reading between the lines and quickly chimed in, âHannah, getting engaged doesnât mean you have to get married right away. You can engage and date first. Whenever you both feel ready, then you can tie the knot. It wonât disturb anything.â
âBut I donât want to date,â she said firmly. âThereâs been too much drama in the past year. I really donât have the energy for it. Right now, I just want to focus on my work and be a good successor to the Moore Group.â
With that, she turned and headed upstairs, leaving the living room without looking back.
As the sound of the bedroom door closing faintly echoed from upstairs, the living room fell silent once again.
Kennedy and Vanessa exchanged glances before turning to Noah.
Noah lowered his gaze, seemingly lost in thought, his emotions unreadable.
Vanessa cautiously probed, âMr. Noah, do you like Hannah?â
âYes,â Noahâs tone was soft as he replied, âbut my previous actions hurt her. I definitely understand why she doesnât accept me.â
Vanessa continued, âWeâve spoiled Hannah, and sheâs quite stubborn. If you genuinely like her and want to be with her, I can try to help you persuade her.â
Noah gave it some thought but ultimately felt embarrassed to inconvenience them further.
âItâs better not to. This is between the two of us. If you try to persuade her, it might make her more resistant to me. If sheâs not ready to get engaged, I can wait. She pursued me for a year before, so I can wait for her for a year.â
With Noahâs words, both Vanessa and Kennedy felt relieved.
âMr. Noah, donât worry. I wonât try to persuade her directly, but I can help create opportunities for you to spend time together.â
Noah looked up and met her gaze..
This time, he did not refuse.
Several hours later, Vanessa knocked on Hannahâs door,
âSweetie, itâs time for dinner. Hurry up. Everyoneâs waiting for you.â
âGot it.â
Chapter 875
Hannah sat at her computer, finishing the last sentence of her project plan. She rubbed her sore shoulders and got up to head downstairs.
She did not notice anything unusual until she reached the dining room.
Only Noah was sitting alone at the long dining table, and Vanessa and Kennedy were nowhere to be
seen.
Moreover, the table was adorned with lit red candles.
It was obviously intentional, trying to create a candlelit dinner opportunity for her and Noah.
Hannah could not help but think her parents must be really bored.
She shook her head in resignation and decisively turned away.
As she was about to leave, Noah immediately got up, grabbing her wrist in time.
âHannah, Iâm sure you can tell your parentsâ effort. Can we talk?â
Hannahâs expression remains blank, replying, âWe donât have anything to talk about.â
She tried to leave, but Noahâs grip on her wrist tightened.
Noah looked at their hands, smiling faintly.
âWhen you came to Svelton General Hospital to say goodbye, I noticed you were upset. I wanted to reach out and comfort you, but I couldnât muster the courage. This time, Iâm glad I didnât let go of your hand.â
Hannah sighed. âIsnât it too late to say this now?â
Noah straightened her posture, making her look at him, and said earnestly, âPatrick is not a good man. I helped you cancel your forced engagement. Now you can choose your partner freely. Isnât that good?â
His words struck a nerve with her.
âNoah, did you deliberately let the police bring Patrick to the Moore mansion to hear those sarcastic remarks about me? Did you want to see me embarrassed? To make me realize that no other man is interested in me apart from you? That I, as the Moore familyâs heiress, am worthless?â
As she accused him, tears started to fall.
In her professional life, Hannah had always maintained a firm and assertive image to avoid being. taken advantage of.
Over time, her personality had become stronger.
Todayâs events deeply affected her, especially being belittled by Patrick in front of Noah.
