Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1425
“They need a successor. As a single son, the responsibility to continue the family bloodline falls upon him. I can’t be so selfish as to get in his way. Wouldn’t you agree?”
The last statement was meekly directed at Natasha as a question. Hannah believed she did the right thing. She could have returned to Fabian, but what was she to do if she was not able to bear him children in future?
Natasha had the urge to rebut Hannah. As an observer, she strongly felt that none of this was of Hannah’s making, so for things to end this way for her was totally unfair.
On second thoughts, Hannah’s goodhearted nature dictated that she would rather suffer the greatest agony for herself than allow Fabian to have any regrets. Natasha was certain she would not likely be able to persuade her, so after giving it some thought, she asked, “Since you’ve your mind made up, Hannah, why have you come back?”
It was not as though Natasha did not want Hannah to return. Even though she was just someone who was working for Fabian, she was also a human capable of emotions.
As much as she hoped for Hannah and Fabian to be able to reunite, it was not something she had any say in. All she could do was find out the impetus for Hannah’s return.
She knew that it must have taken a lot on Hannah’s part to walk away, so there had to be a compelling reason why she turned back. This was something she could share with Fabian and indirectly aid Hannah in.
Knowing Hannah’s character, she had to front this and keep Fabian’s involvement a secret, as Hannah would likely refuse his help.
“Phew!”
