Chapter 1513
Watching Steven’s gloomy face, Jarvis smugly commented, “Hannah has forgotten about her ex-husband, so does Pandora?”
Hannah rolled her eyes.
Were these two in cahoots? What on earth had they been talking about while they were out?
Pandora chimed in, “Oh, I’m old, my memory’s not what it used to be. We’re about to eat, so if you have no other business here, you can put Farley down and leave.”
Hannah whispered to Pandora, “Mom, Steven’s just been a big help. It was his doctor who took care of Farley’s injuries.”
Pandora gave Hannah a stern look, “If you don’t want to get back with him, then don’t accept any of his favors, or you’ll never be able to cut him off.”
Hannah said, “I didn’t mean to accept his help; it was an emergency.”e2
Pandora sternly interrupted her, “No more excuses.”
Pandora continued, “Now, tell me straight, do you want to cut him off completely, or do you want to make up with him?”
Hannah said, “… of course, I want to cut him off completely.”
“Good, if you can’t do it, I’ll do it for you.” Pandora went into the house and came out with a wad of crumpled bills, all earned from their small business.
She handed the money to Steven, “Steven, here’s 200. Is that enough to cover Farley’s medical expenses? If not, I can send you more on WhatsApp.””
Steven said, “What are you doing?”
Pandora said, “We’ve made it clear to you before. You and Hannah are over. You promised to let her go and not to pester her anymore. As the CEO of the Dixon Group, why can’t you keep your word?”
Steven tidied up his clothes nervously and put down Farley, “I promised to let her go home, but I didn’t promise not to keep in touch with her in the future.””
“You’re good-looking and wealthy, you can have any girl you want. I don’t understand why you keep pestering Hannah. It does her reputation no good.” Pandora forcibly stuffed the money into his hand, “Take this money, I don’t want my daughter to owe you anything.”
Steven took the money and stuffed it into Farley’s hands, “This is the money I gave you for stationery. Keep it.”
Farley was flabbergasted. Should he really take this money? Not taking it seemed even more inappropriate. Should he leave this tricky situation to them to handle?
Steven glanced at Hannah again, “I should leave. You don’t have to worry about your father and Farley, I’ll have someone take care of them.”
Hannah said, “No need.”
Steven ignored her and turned to leave.
Hannah just didn’t understand herself. Seeing the desolation in Steven’s eyes, she felt a pang of discomfort.
Jarvis said, “Take care, Steven. We hope you won’t bother our lives again.”
Steven made no response and quickly disappeared from their sight.
