Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1127
Just when Hannah was about to reject him, a cold and domineering voice rang out. “Who says she is alone? I was just away for a moment and someone is already picking her up. It appears that my woman is very popular indeed.”
Hannah and Xavier turned around at the same time and saw that it was Fabia who spoke.
Hannah felt a sense of dread as she watched Fabian approach them step by step. My fears have really come true—Fabian really is at the hospital. Xavier oh Xavier, I asked you to leave but you refused. You may get away unscathed but what about me? I’ll likely be misunderstood by Fabian again.
“There’s no need for you to extoll how charming Ms. Young is. However, did you just claim that she is yours? Why do I hear that she is still single? Can it be that you’re just boasting about your unrequited love?” Xavier ridiculed Fabian.
Hannah was worried by the incendiary atmosphere caused by the two. Would they get into a fight? What am I going to do if they did?
Snorting, Fabian replied casually, “Why don’t you ask her to find out?”
Just as he spoke, Fabian looked in Hannah’s direction and so did Xavier.
Faced with both their gazes, Hannah felt awkward as she was put on the spot. Under Fabian’s intensifying stare, she nodded promptly.
When Fabian saw her admission, his smile widened further in triumph. He then gloated at Xavier in a provoking manner.
Xavier shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile, “Well, who knows whether you are coercing her with your powerful influence as president. After all, you are well known for such tricks.”
Fabian wasn’t provoked. Instead, he stepped forward and asserted, “Whether she is being coerced or not, it is not up to you to say. All that matters is that she and I know it. As to what tricks I use, they are none of your concern. You on the other hand are known to be an empty vessel. Are you in the hospital because you’re feeling under the weather?”
