Semua Bab Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Francesca appeared elated after receiving the check from Alden, while the man sitting in front of her showed no expression whatsoever. In fact, he seemed disgusted by Francesca."Thank you, sir. For the legal matters regarding the house, Hannah will be contacted by the lawyer," Francesca said in an over-excited tone.Alden nodded diplomatically. "Yes, she's aware of that."Alden deliberately didn't involve Hannah in the meeting, as it would surely trigger emotions again. Alden just needed to prepare Hannah to become a resilient woman who couldn't be shaken by anyone."I need a few days to pack my things. Is it okay if I stay there for a while?" Francesca asked."No problem at all. Just contact me as soon as you've left Mr. Sears' house," Alden replied.Hearing these words, Francesca's heart was slightly offended. Wasn't she John's wife? Why did Alden seem to imply that she and John were someone else? But Francesca didn't want to prolong the

"Once again, the Harrison family is making a big splash," Hannah muttered grumpily.She put her phone down on the sofa and looked at Alden, who was sitting facing the backyard. Even Alden didn't show any expression, no emotion, sadness, or happiness, nothing at all... so now Hannah clueless what the man was feeling."Why does that sound so negative?" Hannah sighed quietly."All news always has positive and negative sides, but being the center of attention is the key, Hannah.""Are you saying by doing this, sir?""Everything. Because that is how people will notice you."Hannah pursed her lips. She really hated reading the news, as if Hannah was an insensitive woman, when her father had just died, she showed affection in public. So what should Hannah do? Would crying and puffy eyes look better?"I don't know, sir," Hannah shrugged."Don't worry about it. Now you need to go to Texco because Mr. Gulfman is going to announce who the

Hannah chuckled softly as she stood in the doorway of the dining room, then nodded politely to Alden, who was already there. She couldn't help but smile as she thought about what had happened at Texco this morning. She really wanted to tell Alden everything right away.But would that be wise? It was as if Hannah was just waiting to step on Jeffrey for his past misdeeds. Hannah wondered how Alden would judge her if he knew she was just as petty."You look happy," Alden remarked."Is that so?" Hannah glanced briefly at the man sitting across from her, blocked by the table.Alden couldn't help but laugh, though it was only a soft chuckle. Hannah looked at him, surprised because she had never seen Alden so relaxed."Mr. Gulfman told me about your actions. It turns out you've already stirred up trouble on your first day as owner of Texco," Alden said.Hannah lowered her head immediately. "I apologize.""Trouble in a good way." Alden smiled

Hannah couldn't sleep all night because she felt uneasy. She couldn't stop thinking about tomorrow and the days to come when she would face Alden. Although Hannah could act normal, as if nothing had happened, like a fool.But could the heart be deceived so easily?"Oh, Lord," Hannah whispered softly.Hannah couldn't break the awkwardness of having to talk to Alden and look at him. Just a few hours ago, Hannah had been almost naked with him."Don't imagine that again, Hannah," she whispered, as if begging herself.Finally, she decided to leave her room and go out to the back terrace for some fresh air. But when Hannah got there, she saw that the door to the back terrace was open.Reflexively, Hannah immediately hid behind the wall, and she could hear Alden's voice talking. She didn't know who he was talking to, but it sounded like rambling and sobbing."No, Edward. Just say that, she doesn't need to know about my whereabouts anymore!"

"What gives you the right to pity me?!" Alden snapped.Hannah just shook her head, shocked by Alden's outburst. Just because of a woman named Sarah, Alden could become so tyrannical again. After briefly luring Hannah in.With Alden's mood swings, who could stand to be around him? No wonder Sarah finally left and gave up. Hannah couldn't understand."I don't feel sorry for you. Worrying is different from pitying," Hannah corrected."It's all the same!"Hannah just dropped her head and conceded. "I'm sorry."Would Alden continue his attack after Hannah showed remorse?Hearing Hannah's words, Alden seemed to lose his voice. He was silent for a moment, then exhaled deeply. Alden's eyes were fixed on Hannah's."Hannah, focus on your work and put aside any personal matters. Especially those concerning me, because they are none of your business," Alden said in a cold tone."All right, Alden," Hannah nodded."Whatever hap
