Semua Bab Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"I don't want to marry him!"Hannah declared in front of Francesca and John.It was the first time Hannah had expressed her refusal after years of acquiescing and silently following her parents' wishes or, more accurately, Francesca's whims."Are you stupid? Alden is richer than Jeffrey! You should be grateful that you get to marry him!" Francesca retorted even more strongly.Alden Harrison, the 28-year-old son of a bankrupt billionaire, had recently used a wheelchair due to an accident.Alden had kept a low profile, not appearing in the media before or after the incident. So, Hannah was unaware of Alden's condition and the struggles of Maxim Harrison's older son, who was depressed and ailing. But it wasn't about who Alden was or his status.Hannah felt she had lost her dignity. Francesca casually offered Hannah to marry Alden as a substitute for Aspen. To make matters worse, Alden's right-hand man, Edward, would discuss it with his boss.It felt like a covert trade in women! Hannah w

Hannah hurried down the hospital hallway. On the way to the hospital, she received a message from the doctor telling her that John had passed the critical stage after surgery and was beginning to regain consciousness. It was an immense relief to Hannah.The trip to John's room on the fourth floor, number 406, felt so far away. Hannah's breathing was erratic by the time she reached the door. She pushed the handle down and opened the door.Hannah's chest felt like it had been hit by a hammer when she saw Aspen and Jeffrey in John's hospital room."Oh, it's you," Francesca said, glancing at the door and returning to her phone.Aspen immediately grabbed Jeffrey's arm, fearing that Hannah would take the man back. Hannah looked disinterestedly at Aspen and Jeffrey but couldn't leave the room because two people had betrayed her.Without further ado, Hannah approached John. She gently stroked John's graying hair and looked into his closed eyes. A soft moan escaped John's lips, and then his ey

Hannah sat on the edge of her bed and stared at the door. It was already morning and she had not been able to close her eyes all night. She didn't know what to do now.One option was to leave the room and act as if nothing had happened. Another was to stay in the room and wait for Edward or another servant to arrive. The last choice was to leave Alden's mansion quietly.Hannah's thoughts were interrupted when the door to her room opened. She turned her eyes to the doorway and was startled to see Alden standing there in his wheelchair. His cold gaze pierced through her, intimidating her. Hannah lowered her head immediately.The sound of the wheels coming closer to Hannah was like a horror in her ears."It's past eight, and you're not in the dining room," Alden said flatly."I'm not hungry," Hannah replied.The wheelchair stopped in front of Hannah, their knees almost touching. Without hesitation, Alden reached for Hannah's chin, his grip slightly firm as he forced her to face him."I d

Hannah returned to Harrison's residence feeling insecure. She was wearing an oversized white shirt that almost competed with her skirt. Her wet clothes were carried in a paper bag, along with pens and notebooks from Texco, as if she had just returned from a company visit and received freebies.When Edward opened the door, Hannah was surprised to see Alden waiting in the hallway. Alden's hand was pressed to his lips, his sharp eyes scanning Hannah's appearance from top to bottom."Uh, hello," Hannah greeted awkwardly."Why are you dressed like this for a visit to Texco?" Alden shot at her."My clothes got wet because of an incident," Hannah cleared her throat, "Mr. Gulfman lent me his shirt."Alden sighed softly and shook his head. "Can't you be more careful, Hannah?""I'm sorry,""Change your clothes now," Alden ordered. "You're embarrassing me."Hannah nodded quickly, then hurried past Alden, almost running. Hannah wanted to throw the paper bag in Alden's arrogant face. How dare Alde

Hannah left the hospital lobby, accompanied by Edward, who walked behind her. As she was about to get into the car, she turned around. Something was bothering her."Wasn't Mr. Maxim the one who financed my father's treatment?" asked Hannah.Edward remained silent, only bowing his head, not daring to look at Hannah."I need an explanation, Edward. Do you think you can trick me? Do you know how it feels when your father-in-law doesn't consider you his daughter-in-law?""I apologize, Mrs. Hannah," Edward replied."Please explain it to me, Edward."Finally, Edward looked at Hannah and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Mr. Alden paid for everything, and he instructed me to tell Mr. Maxim nothing. You saw it yourself, Mr. Maxim's condition is not good. He's beginning to suffer from dementia," Edward explained."So in Mr. Maxim's mind, Aspen is the future daughter-in-law?"For some reason, Hannah felt very upset at that moment
