Chapter 1104
Rosie said, “After all these years, I've gotten used to his care. I can’t even imagine what I'd be like without him.”
Hannah said, "You've been talking a while, basically just showing off your loving relationship to us.”
Rosie said, "We've been married for quite a while, is it still
considered showing off our intimacy? If you're talking about intimacy, Cornelia and her husband take the cake.’
Hannah turned to Cornelia, "Cornelia, we three rarely get the chance to sit down together like this. Could you share some stuff about you and your husband? We never really got a chance to chat with you after you guys went public.”
Cornelia said, "If you guys are really interested, let's find a place to sit down and talk.’
Rosie said, "I suggest we find a quiet coffee shop.’
Cornelia said, “Sure, I'll take care of it”
As the personal assistant to the president of the Hartley
Group, Cornelia was quite familiar with the coffee shops in
Riverton. Keeping in mind that Hannah was a popular actress, a regular coffee shop wouldn't do, so Cornelia booked a nearby coffee shop that was particularly good at protecting customer privacy.
This coffee shop was members-only, very secretive about its customers’ information and had a great ambiance.
There was nothing to complain about, but it wasn’t cheap.
After Cornelia booked a private room, she drove them to the coffee shop. It was close by, so they arrived in just a few minutes.
Hannah gave awry smile, "Is it possible that Steven is the one in the rumors?”
Rosie said, "That's an interesting thought! Do tell us more.’
Hannah said, “Actually, those rumors about me aren't totally unfounded. I claim to be single, but I've been with Steven for many years, so it's inevitable that we'd be secretly photographed. The paparazzi released all my photos, but didn't dare to release Steven's. So, the rumor that I'm kept by arich man started’
Rosie said, “Why don't you guys go public? Are you worried that the news of your marriage would affect your acting career?"
Hannah gave a slight smile, but didn’t respond. To them, it seemed like Hannah had tacitly accepted this reason.
Only Hannah knew that although she and Steven were technically married and had done intimate things as a married couple, he didn't love her. All along, she was just a substitute that Steven kept around as a compromise.
She was just an unpublicized stand-in.
