Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1097
Biting her lips, Hannah was like a terrified little rabbit. Her heartbeat raced rapidly as her breathing
quickened. How should I answer him? Do I tell him the truth? What if that angers him more? But won’t
it be worse if I get caught for telling lies?
“I conducted an interview and then attended a social event.” Hannah was hoping that her ambiguous
answer could satisfy him.
“With who?” Fabian more or less knew what happened as he had called Hannah’s senior editor.
However, he wanted to hear what she would say.
Inhaling a deep breath, she decided toe clean with him. I didn’t do anything wrong anyway.
“Xavier Jackson.” She continued, “Mr. Dijon requested me to send him the article I wrote. Then, Xavier
wanted to treat me to dinner. I did try to reject him, but to no avail, so I went out with him. When I saw
your missed calls, I came back right away without even finishing the food.”
Hmm… Good, very honest. You should be thankful that you didn’t lie to me. Otherwise, you would face
harsh consequences. Did you clear the air so that I won’t misunderstand you?
“Would you like to have some more to eat?” Fabian smirked.
Hannah was confused by his expression. Was he being sarcastic or did he mean it literally?
“I’m good. I don’t want to consume too much food at night.” Regardless of his intention, the best
solution right now is to say no.
“If you say so. Let’s have a chat then.” Fabian gestured her to sit beside him.
Chat? What is there to talk about? Thest time he wanted to have a chat, we broke into a fight. What
will happen this time?
As much as Hannah was reluctant, she still strode over to the sofa and took a seat. “What is it that you
want to talk about? Go ahead.”
“You do know that my mom asked to see me in the study this morning…” he paused, creating
suspense to check her reaction.
Hannah had a bad feeling about this. Automatically, she shut her eyes in trepidation. Is he going to
divorce me? But I don’t think so because Heather just presented me with the family heirloom, a jade
bracelet. So what did they talk about?
A satisfied smug appeared on his face. This silly girl does care, doesn’t she?
“My mom doesn’t know about our rtionship. Hence, she wants to meet your parents and get to know
them better.”
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
“What? Meet my parents?” Hannah’s heart skipped a beat.
What should I do? Back then, I made the impulsive decision to register my marriage with Fabian
because of the pressure from my family, and I haven’t even told them that. So how should I exin to
them now that Fabian and I have been married for a year?
“I know this is too sudden, but I don’t have an alternative.”
“The thing is… my parents aren’t aware that we’re married! How do I exin everything to them?”
Hannah felt so helpless. Had I known this earlier, I would have informed my parents of our marriage.
That would save me a load of trouble, and I won’t need to spin more lies to cover up for the previous
ones.
“That’s your problem. It’s got nothing to do with me.” Fabian shrugged and washed his hands clean of
the matter as if he deliberately wanted to see her distressed.
She gritted her teeth at the sight of his haughty expression.
“What is that supposed to mean? It’s your mom who wants to meet up, not mine. It’s fine if you have no
intention to help me out, but you’re even making fun of me. Why don’t you think of a solution, my better
half?” Hannah refuted confidently.
“Should you not want to be the daughter-inw of the Norton family, you can return the heirloom
to my mom. But then again, I think it’s quite challenging to have her ept it back.”
Seeing a mischievous grin on his face, Hannah almost wanted to throw a few punches at him. But
obviously, she didn’t have the guts to do it.
“Hmph! What kind of a man are you? How could you not contribute any solutions to help your
distressed wife out?” she tried to convince him toe up with a n for her.
