In front of the Joseph family’s gate park four military jeeps in one line and in the middle of them is one black car. The rearview mirrors of the vehicles are at an extremely neat angle.
Two groups of soldiers stand at the gate of the Joseph's house as if they are sculptures in the wind, leaving an aisle in the middle. A group of soldiers walk into the yard of the Joseph's house with gift boxes and fill the corridor at the gate with boxes soon.
Hannah Joseph runs out of the Joseph's house to see Chester Shahbaz getting off the car with the help of the servants. She gets very happy and calms down immediately.
With the powerful backer, Hannah Joseph waits to see how the Joseph family will bully her.
"Master, madam, who are they..."
The servants get flustered.
Chester Shahbaz has never been to the Joseph’s house. It's not surprising that the servants of the Joseph family don't know him. After all, even Hannah Joseph’s father and stepmother are shocked.
"You are welcome to my house, Chester." Frank Joseph finally comes to himself, walks quickly to the door and says with a smile, "it's the first time you've come to the house since you got married."
Chester Shahbaz sits in a wheelchair. Even if he is disabled, he is still in a majestic manner. He raises his eyes slightly and looks at Frank Joseph, "I’m sorry to have come to the house without letting you know in advance.”
"It doesn’t matter. We are a family. Nothing matters..." Frank Joseph is a little cramped. He takes a look at his daughter Hannah Joseph constantly. "Hannah, why didn’t you tell me Chester would come back with you?”
At this time, Hannah Joseph is being blocked in the yard by all the people, because she has something taken from the sundry room in her arms. Before she goes out of the door, several servants surround her and stops her from leaving.
She gives Frank Joseph a cold glance and says impolitely, "You have no one to ask me. I am scolded by you as soon as I come back."
Frank Joseph's face gets very embarrassed immediately.
Linda is clever. She quickly interrupts Hannah Joseph's words, walks down the steps towards Chester Shahbaz and says indifferently, "It's just a quarrel between the two sisters. It is not a blame. Sir, let the servants welcome Chester Shahbaz. It's the first time for him to come to the house."
Frank Joseph settles down. He is about to give a sign to the servant when there is a cold voice on his side, "No need."
Chester Shahbaz raises his head, narrows his eyes slightly and looks at Hannah Joseph, who is blocked in the corner by the servants, "Hannah, come here."
The yard is soon quiet.
The whole Joseph family are stunned.
In fact, the whole Joseph's family know that since Hannah Joseph married to the Shahbaz family, she has been a decoration and has not been favored. After three years in prison, she exists like a stain, so everyone thinks it is the end of her life. But now judging from Chester Shahbaz's attitude towards her, things seems to be different.
Although she doesn’t know what is Chester Shahbaz’s idea, she chooses to give herself an out. Hannah Joseph immediately squints at several servants standing in her way.
Before Hannah Joseph speaks, the servants make way for her and watch her walk behind Chester Shahbaz and push the wheelchair into the Joseph's gate.
No one notices that when Hannah Joseph pushes Chester Shahbaz into the door, she lowers her head and asks him, "Didn’t you say you would not come?"
Chester Shahbaz looks as usual and says simply, "you are right. We are a couple after all. We should make progress together."
A tone is emphasized on "make progress together". Hannah Joseph's heart quivers when she hears those words. There is always a sense of uneasiness in her heart.
