Chapter 876


    Noah gently wiped away Hannah’s tears with a tissue, mindful of the lesson he learned from smudging


    her eyelinerst time


    His action was gentle and tender.


    Howard did a lot of prep work for Noah beforehand, teaching him how to sweet talk and charm a girl.


    Even if it were cheesy pickup lines, girls would appreciate them as long as they were sincere.


    Noan racked his brain, trying to recall the sweet nothings Howard taught him. Yet, perhaps due to


    nervousness, he could not remember a single word.


    All the genuineforting thoughts in his mind turn into clumsy mumblings.


    “Hannah, 1-1 didn’t mean it that way…”


    Hannah red at him. “Then what do you mean?”


    “I–I don’t have other intentions. I just…”


    Hannah was frustrated.


    Was Noah ying games with her?


    She interrupted, “What do you mean by ‘you don’t have other intentions‘? Noah, what exactly do you


    mean?”


    Noah stared at her nkly.


    Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Hannah could not help but break intoughter.


    Noah felt slightly embarrassed but took advantage of her good mood to press on.


    “Hannah, I don’t have much experience in romance, and I’m not good at saying sweet things. But I


    want to say that I genuinely want to win you back, and there’s no other intention behind it.”

    He took a deep breath, then continued, “You pursued me all the way from Farlem to Luivine, quietly


    followed me to Svelton. You turned down your dad’s requests to return to Moore Group many times, all


    for me. Now, it’s my turn. If you’re still adamant about not getting engaged, I can pursue you for a


    year… or even two.”


    His words were simple yet sincere.


    Hannah would be lying if she said she was unmoved.


    She stared at him seriously, yfully smirking.


    “Alright then. You can pursue me. If you can truly persevere and do it for a year, I’ll reconsider.


    “Okay. I’ll definitely persevere.”


    Noah was statis and hugged her tightly, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.


    Sensing his fast heartbeat, clearly a mix of nervousness and joy, Hannah was momentarily taken


    aback. She strugglest for a moment but ultimately reached out to hug him back, patting his broad back

    Kennedy and Vanessa discreetly watches them from the stairwell on the second floor, smiling at each


    other.


    Meanwhile, at E&S Haven, Sheena slept straight through until dinnertime and was awakened by the


    savory aroma of soup nearby.


    Groggily opening her eyes, she saw Elliot sitting beside her bed, gently blowing on a bowl of vegetable


    beef soup for her.


    She sat up and asked, “Why didn’t you sleep in?”


    “I couldn’t fall asleep. I just felt like you might need me at any moment, so I thought it’s better to stay


    awake.”


    Sensing that the soup in the bowl was not too hot anymore, Elliot scooped up a spoonful and lovingly


    offered it to her lips.


    “Be careful, it’s hot.”


    Sheena opened her mouth, savoring the taste as she chewed slowly, contentedly enjoying his care.


    Elliot said, “By the way, the Nicholls Group just announced Phoebe’s identity. They’re hosting a grand


    wee–back banquet for her in seven days, and she’ll officially be known as Phoebe Nicholls from


    that day forward.


    “Is it all confirmed now?


    Elliot nodded. “Yes.”


    Embracing her newfound identity as an heiress would definitely be good news. However, Sheena


    recalled Phoebe’s words to herst night at the banquet, and she could no shake the feeling that there


    was something peculiar about it.
