HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE novel Chapter 5

CELINE’s POV

-

“Celine, what do you need from Hanna?” Astrid asked me.

“I just have something important to ask her.” I answered, almost in a whisper.

I saw in the rear-view mirror Astrid open her mouth, but she closed it and did not ask again. In the passenger seat, Christine turned to me and smiled. I returned her with a small smile, then I looked outside.

After what happened last night with Lance, I haven’t talked to him again, nor have I been able to look at him until I’ve met Hanna.

Hanna Matthew is Lance’s right hand or underboss in his organization. Hanna is often with Lance when Lance transacts in the underground. Also, Hanna once lived in the mansion we live in now. Hanna only left the mansion because of me. Hanna told me the one time I talked to her she knows her boundaries as Lance’s friend and that it is not good to see if she will stay in the mansion as her friend Lance is married.

I was so hurt last night and felt bad for my baby. My baby is still in blood and growing, yet everyone is important to me and I love the one who wants to lose my baby.

I ran to my room last night and spent most of the night crying.

Today I accompanied Astrid and Christine to the place where Hanna resides. Apart from not wanting Lance to be aware of my plans to see Hanna, I made sure that the personal driver he provided did not accompany me. I also don’t know where Hanna lives. Hanna’s big brother is a friend of Astrid’s and Christine, so they know Hanna’s place.

It wasn’t long before Christine serenely called me because we were about to get out of the car. It was only at that moment that I realized we were in the basement parking lot.

“Let’s discuss your problem after we finish going to meet with Hanna.” I have already reserved at your favorite restaurant.”

“T-Thank you...” I almost stammered. As much as I could, I stopped my tears from falling.

“Let’s go.”

I nodded and then we went out together. As Astrid, she looked at me and smiled.

We proceeded directly into the elevator and Astrid reached the highest floor of this building. “Hanna and Dylan live in the penthouse.”

We quickly reached the floor we were going to and the second time if Christine hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have noticed that we were here.

Arriving at the front door of the penthouse, it was Astrid who rang the doorbell. The second Astrid pressed the doorbell, someone opened the door from the inside and Hanna’s big brother, Dylan, appeared.

“Astrid, ma’am Christine?” Dylan called out to the in surprise until his eyes landed on me. “M-Ma’am Celine.”

I think Dylan calling our names was his way of greeting us.

“Is Hanna here? Ma’am Celine wants to talk to her.” Astrid said immediately.

“Hanna is in her room,” Dylan said as he opened the door wide. “Come in first.”

“That should be the first thing you do.” Astrid commented that the three of them just laughed.

For the moment we entered the living room, Dylan called Hanna on the second floor. Not long after, they were coming down together.

“By the way, do you want something to eat or drink? Water, juice, wine, tea?” Dylan offered us.
