2025-06-22 03:00:08Hannah glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was already four in the afternoon. She was about to ask Susan for a cup of coffee. At the same time, Susan entered the room with Bernard.
"Are you two going out for coffee?" Bernard asked.
Hannah chuckled. "Yes, but I don't want to invite you, Mr. Gulfman. This is a ladies' thing."
"Oh, dear... that hurts my heart," Bernard joked, laughing.
He approached Hannah's desk and rested his hand on it. Bernard's eyes stared intently at Alden's wife; to any man, Hannah was very attractive.
Hannah used to look innocent and sweet. After becoming the owner of Texco, Hannah seemed even more elegant and charming. Who wouldn't be attracted to her?
Hannah stood up. "Shall we go, Susan?"
"Whenever you're ready, ma'am," Susan nodded.
"See you tomorrow, Mr. Gulfman," Hannah said goodbye.
"Okay, have fun, you two," Bernard replied.
Because she was so excited about going out for coffee

The furniture, even the furniture placement, had changed, with new wallpaper; the state of Hannah's home was entirely different now. Hannah entered the house and heard voices upstairs. She quickly went up to the second floor.In the room that used to be Aspen's, a few men were arranging a desk, with Alden there.“Alden? Have you lost your mind?” Hannah shrieked in half-shock.The men ignored Hannah's presence and continued working. Alden quickly darted out and pulled Hannah into her room.“Can you explain what's going on? Why has all the furniture changed within hours? Where's the sofa downstairs? The table and everything!” Hannah clutched her head in frustration. “What has gotten into you? Oh, God!”“Calm down, honey.” Alden chuckled while holding Hannah's shoulders.Hannah tried to hold back her tears and just nodded. “Okay, explain to me.”There were items that reminded Ha

Hannah’s eyes opened, and she felt unbearably hot upon waking up. Even though the sunlight was still blocked by the curtains, she felt suffocated. She was shocked to find Alden hugging her from behind, and they were cramped together on the couch.Hannah immediately pushed Alden, causing him to fall to the floor.“Oh, God!” Hannah muttered angrily.Last night, Hannah had left Alden to sleep in her room. She didn’t want to sleep in Aspen’s room because it disgusted her, and sleeping in John’s room brought back sad memories, including lingering resentment toward Francesca.Eventually, Hannah decided to sleep on the couch. However, at some point, Alden had joined her, which made her very annoyed.“Ouch,” Alden groaned.Instead of being angry, Alden smiled at Hannah.“Good morning, darling,” Alden greeted.Hannah glared at him angrily. “Why are you sleeping here? I al

"Hannah?"Alden was surprised to see Hannah standing behind him, carrying shopping bags in her hands. He immediately felt awkward and cleared his throat softly."If the door is broken, you have to fix it," Hannah warned."I haven't kicked it in.""Yet."Hannah opened the door to the house and was about to close it again, but Alden quickly stopped her. Their eyes met, and it was clear Hannah had been crying."Where have you been this late?" Alden asked."Buying groceries at the 24-hour mini-market. Is there anything else you want to talk about? If not, you should leave," Hannah replied, half dismissing him.Alden still held the door to prevent it from being closed from the inside. "I want to talk to you, Hannah. Besides, I'm a bit hungry."Hannah squinted her eyes but then allowed Alden to enter. She hurried to the kitchen, not paying attention to Alden as he looked around the house. Alden followed Hannah to the kitchen a
Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 60. The Depths of Turmoil
Hannah’s heart felt shattered as Alden returned Sarah’s embrace, and they appeared so affectionate towards each other. Hannah felt like an obstacle between them. Instinctively, she stepped back and hurried outside to get some fresh air.Over and over, Hannah reminded herself that Sarah was sick. Whatever was happening with Sarah now was because she couldn’t control herself or there was some underlying issue, so Hannah couldn’t protest. She had to be understanding.Hannah walked to the hospital garden and sat on a bench under a lamp. She sat there, lost in thought, wondering what to do next about someone disrupting her marriage. If it were a sane person, Hannah might fight back. But this was a mentally ill person, and she didn’t know how to handle it.Hannah sat there for over 20 minutes, not even counting how much time had passed alone. Then she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. She glanced sideways and saw it was Alden.
Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 59. The Weight of Secrets
“I hope your husband can keep his distance from Sarah,” Kenneth said suddenly.Hannah raised her eyebrows. What did that mean?“My husband owns Goldtime. How can he keep his distance when your sister suddenly becomes Giantic's representative? That’s absurd.” Hannah replied bluntly.“You know about their past, right?”Hannah nodded. “I know very well. In fact, your sister left Alden, but I don’t want to dwell on the past. Alden is now healed and healthy, and has no business with Sarah except for work.”Hannah's voice trembled with restrained anger because she couldn't accept the implication that Alden was the one pursuing Sarah. Alden had been professional, while it was Sarah who kept bringing up their past.“It’s not that simple, Hannah,” Kenneth said.“What do you mean?”“My sister suffered severe mental trauma after the accident.

Just as Hannah was about to leave the room, Alden hurried in, looking anxious and immediately pulling her into a hug.“Sweetheart, I heard the car that brought you here was hit earlier. Are you okay? Why didn't you call me right away?” Alden asked.That incident happened an hour ago, and Hannah didn't think it was important to tell Alden. It seemed either the staff or Kenneth had already spoken to her husband.“Kenneth came to the office and told me everything,” Alden added.Oh, so it was Kenneth.“I'm fine. It was just a minor accident.”“I was about to get angry, but Kenneth apologized and invited us to lunch.”“And you agreed?”“He insisted.”Hannah showed a reluctant expression. At the gala dinner, Kenneth’s face was stiff, cold, and unfriendly. Hannah wondered why Kenneth wanted to have lunch. Did he have an ulterior motive?“
