    Hannah secretly felt annoyed and declined his invitation for a date.


    No, thanks. Your work may be done, but mine isn’t. I’m not going.”


    Noah froze.


    Was this a subtle way of saying he had not helped her with her workload?


    He approached her and asked, “Is there any urgent business? I can help. It’s our first birthday


    celebration together, Hannah. Are you really sure you don’t want to go?”


    Hannah lowered her gaze. “I’ve had over twenty birthdays. It’s just another day.”


    Noah took a bold step, holding her hand. “But this time is different. It’s my first time celebrating your


    birthday with you, and it’s special.”


    Hannah fell silent.


    A date, a movie, dinner, and… checking into a hotel?


    Deep down, she was excited and looking forward to it, but she remained indifferent and silent.


    Noah added, “Before we left, Auntie Vanessa told me she’d be locking the mansion gates. Even if

    Hannah was secretly satisfied as Noah had improved.


    At least he did not suggest a horror or sci–fi thriller.

    “Nana, do you still remember you promised to treat me to a meal when you returned from abroad?


    It’s been quite a while since then. When are you going to make good on that promise? Surely you

    Sheena was instantly rendered speechless.


    With her evenings upied by dealing with her bipr disorder and her days filled with managing


    the Lawson Group business and Anne’s affairs, she had indeed forgotten.


    Seeing her hesitation, Nathaniel offered an excuse.


    “I know you have lofty ambitions, Nana, and you’re not content with just being the wealthiest in


    Froania. It’s okay if you forgot. If you have time tonight, let’s make it happen tonight.


    “Alright, I’ll call Elliot and discuss where to eat. I’ll get back to you in half an hour.”


    Since it was a promise Sheena made to Nathaniel for looking after the babies, Elliot did not object.


    He promptly agreed and helped her choose a restaurant.
