Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1214
Jason looked at Fabian with such a mix of envy and awe that his gaze almost bore a hole through Fabian’s skull.
“I have a question. Why did you decide to tell me all this now, after two months have already passed?” Hendrick asked quizzically after a moment’s deep thought.
“Hannah didn’t want me to at first. She said the time wasn’t right. Afterward, I was busy with an endless stream of work at the office and couldn’t find the time to pay the two of you a visit,” Fabian replied apologetically.
“Fortunately, since both of you had planned to head over to the hospital to take care of Hannah, I decided that it was the best time to be totally honest. I wanted the two of you to meet my mother, too, to discuss my and Hannah’s wedding. I have to make it up to her for our hasty marriage before,” Fabian continued sheepishly.
Wow! I hope Fabian lets me be his best man, Jason thought excitedly. He was glad that Fabian and Hannah would indeed be getting married.
Hendrick, however, seemed apprehensive. His brow, having just relaxed, immediately furrowed once more. Awkwardly, Hendrick stammered, “Fabian, I may not be able to have the final say in this matter. I’m sure you know that I… I’m not Hannah’s real father. I don’t think I’m entirely qualified to approve of your marriage to Hannah.”
If it had been up to Hendrick, he would have instantly sanctioned Hannah and Fabian’s union. However, Hannah was now accountable to another family. Both Leo and Winson had laid their claims on Hannah as her father and brother, respectively. Just two days ago, Leo had approached Hendrick to discuss the matter of Hannah legally becoming a Blackwood.
Upon hearing Hendrick’s statement of resignation, Jason felt indignant on Hendrick’s behalf. What right did the Blackwood family have to abandon Hannah, then demand her back at a whim? Had Hendrick’s labor all been in vain then?
