Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1212

“To be completely honest with you, Hannah and I got married recently,” Fabian confessed. He remained watchful, however, of the Youngs’ facial expressions. His revelation had, unsurprisingly, provoked looks of displeasure on their faces.

It was Jason who had the most exaggerated reaction. Jason had settled down on the sofa next to Fabian with a glass of water in hand. He had just taken a sip when Fabian delivered the news. The resulting spray from Jason’s mouth doused the entire sofa as he reeled in shock from the news.

Good god! It can’t be… can it? Fabian, isn’t that rather outrageous, even for you? How could you and Hannah get married behind her own parents’ backs? And for you to deliver the news so coolly to them! Incredible! Simply incredible! Jason gaped at Fabian in disbelief.

The Youngs stared at Fabian as if in a daze. Hendrick’s grip on his glass of water had tightened so much his knuckles had turned white. Of the manifold possibilities that had presented themselves to Hendrick, Hannah’s marriage to Fabian had not been amongst them.

“When did this happen?” Hendrick said roughly. His face had turned a dark shade of purple, and his voice quivered with barely suppressed rage.

“Approximately two months ago,” Fabian replied, still very much at ease.

“Why didn’t you tell us then?” Hendrick demanded. It took almost every ounce of his self-control to remain civil towards this young man before him. Even though it was no secret that Hannah wasn’t his own flesh and blood, Hendrick nonetheless cared for her as his own.

If this fellow dares bully my daughter, I’ll never forgive him! So what if he’s a big shot in his company? I’m not afraid of him! Hendrick thought defiantly.

“It had to be done urgently,” Fabian replied, with a glimmer of resignation in his eyes.
