Chapter 1498
Jarvis said, “But there are no ‘what ifs’ in life.”
Hannah responded, “Yeah, there are no ‘what ifs. Perhaps my life was already set in stone from the moment I met Steven.”
Jarvis asked, “What are you planning to do next? Will you continue acting?”
Hannah shook her head. “I’m not sure.”
Jarvis said, “Steven is coming over.”
Hannah asked, “You’re a guy. Can you help me understand his mindset? Why is he still pestering me after our divorce?”
Jarvis guessed, “Maybe he truly likes you.”e2
Hannah didn’t believe that Steven truly loved her. “Come on.”
Jarvis responded, “I really can’t think of any other reason why a guy would keep bothering you like this.”
Hannah fell silent. True love should be like Jeremy’s love for Cornelia. How could a man who constantly said she wasn’t worthy of bearing his child possibly love her?
Jarvis added, “Maybe it’s just an obsession. The more you reject him, the more he wants you. It’s like when you set your sights on a particular item. If you can’t get it, you’ll always want it. But once you actually get it, you might not value it anymore.”
Hannah chuckled and didn’t respond
Jarvis said again, “Hannah…”
Hannah responded, “Hmm?”
Jarvis said, “I’m really sorry!”
Hannah asked, “Why are you apologizing again?”
Jarvis explained, “The moment the car accident happened, I instinctively chose to protect myself, which resulted in a more severe impact on the passenger side and made your injuries worse.”
In the end, she and Jarvis were merely acquaintances. It was only human nature that he chose to protect himself at the critical moment. Hannah didn’t blame him. “I were in that situation, I might have made the same choice as you. You don’t need to feel guilty.”
Jarvis gave a bitter smile. “The fact that you don’t blame me just shows that I don’t hold a place in your heart.”
Hannah laughed. “After all, we haven’t known each other for very long.”
Jarvis understood what she meant. “Due to certain reasons, my family has decided to send me overseas for work. I might not have the chance to see you again. We’ve been through life and death together. Can I hug you?”
Hannah nodded. “Of course.”
Jarvis opened his arms and held Hannah tightly. Hannah said, “You’re holding me too tight. I can barely breathe.”
Jarvis immediately let go of her. “I’m sorry!”
