Chapter 247 You’ll Spoil Me Rotten

Barnaby caught Hannah’s death glare and felt a twinge of quite knew he’d gone overboard last rp, and cowg was seriously mad at him

But hey, he’d been pretty mad himself last night!

She was supposed to be his girlfriend, but she wasn’t acting one They had promised forever, yet here he wan sneaking around and playing his niece behind his back

Edmund was practically waving a flag about wanting to break them up, and Hannah was usually soon, bow cold the

not see it?

Yeah, Hannah had explained last night that she did it on purpose to piss off Susie and show Evelyn’s real face, just couldn’t accept how she could joke about their relationship po casually

That was why he got mad, but he still made sure not to hurt Hannah.

“Baby, I was just way too pissed last night and couldn’t control myself. Sorry I put you through that Bernaby said, wong his hands with a wet wipe before pulling her close and lying down beside her.

I’m all better now, so forget the acupuncture kit. Let’s just take a nap together, okay?” he continued

Hannah smacked his face away. “Nope, you’re still sick and you need to be fixed, right now! Go grab the kar

Ugh, this guy! He had zero self-control last night, totally went off on me, and now I can’t even get out of bed if I don’t put him in his place now, who knows what he’ll try next time! Hannah grumbled to herself.

Barnaby was left speechless, staring at her in disbelief.

When he still didn’t budge, Hannah shot him a mock-cold look. What, you don’t love me anymore?

“No way! You’re the only one I care about, Barnaby blurted out.

“Then why aren’t you doing what I say?” Hannah pressed, her voice taking on a playful, mock-threatening edge

With no choice but to give in, Barnaby went to fetch her acupuncture kit.

When he returned, he just let Hannah poke and prod his face however she pleased, showing with his actions exactly how much he adored her, and how hopelessly spoiled she was going to be.

And so, their voices drifted out from the room.

“Does it hurt?” Hannah asked, a mischievous glint in her eye.

“Yeah, it hurts!” Barnaby grumbled.

“You know you messed up, right?” Hannah pressed.

“Yeah, I get it,” Barnaby sighed.

“You gonna try that again?” Hannah pressed, narrowing her eyes

“Of course I dare!” Barnaby shot back.

“Because when you cry, baby, you’re just so damn captivating. I can’t help but want more… Barnaby teased, his voice low.

“Shut up! Not another word!” Hannah snapped.

Ronin came by in the afternoon to drop off some contracts for Barnaby to sign. As soon as he stepped into the west wing. he saw Barnaby standing at the bedroom door, his back to Ronin, mopping the floor

Barnaby had his sleeves rolled up, showing off those strong arms as he worked the mop with surprising skill, making the floor glearn. If Ronin didn’t know better, he’d swear Barnaby was some kind of pro househusband

The sight nearly blinded Ronin. Only Hannah could turn the legendary Master of the Scepter House into a househusband,

For some reason, Ronin had this hunch, if Hannah ever learned the truth about Barnaby and told him to drop it, he’d probably hang up his boots for good, no questions asked.

He remembered that Barnaby had only joined the Scepter House back in the day to hunt someone down using the organization’s resources. But ever since Hannah showed up, that whole search just stopped cold

Ronin couldn’t help but snap a photo and post ”

Finneus: [Barnaby’s putting a 200-million-dolla Successfully unlocked! loor? For real?]

Axel: [What, did all the cleaners in Kinswood go extinct? Should send a couple over right now?]

Magnus: [Let me guess, Barnaby screwed up and Hannah’s making him pay for it?]

“Hey, what’s going on?” Barnaby said, glancing over at Ronin as he turned around

Ronin couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Barnaby’s face, usually the stuff of legends, now had two neat rows of gold needles stuck along his eyebrows, with another right in the middle of his forehead and one on his philtrum. He oked so comical it was hard to take him senously “Barnaby, are you feeling sick or something?” Ronin asked, barely holding back his laughter.

“Nope, Barnaby replied.

“Then… what’s with the needles?” Ronin said, pointing at Barnaby’s face.

“Those are Hannah’s handiwork,” Barnaby said.

‘Of course I know it was Hannah. Who else would dare stick needles in that precious face of yours? Ronin thought ‘Seriously, Barnaby, have you even looked in a mirror? You look ridiculous! Ronin couldn’t help but think.

Even though Ronin wasn’t a doctor, he knew enough about acupuncture points to tell this was no real acupuncture, just Hannah goofing around and playing a prank on Barnaby

‘Who would’ve thought the usually icy Ms. Carter could be this silly behind closed doors? And Barnaby just goes along with it like it’s nothing!’ Ronin thought, shaking his head.

“Doesn’t that hurt?” Ronin couldn’t help but ask, wincing just looking at it.

“Of course it hurts,” Barnaby said with a helpless shrug.

“Then why not just take them out?” Ronin asked.

“If I do, Hannah will get mad, Barnaby replied, sounding resigned

Ronin was left speechless.

‘Man, you really do spoil her, Ronin thought, shaking his head.

‘Not only do you tiptoe around so she can sleep, but you actually let her mess with you right under your nose? She’s got you totally wrapped around her finger! Ronin couldn’t help but think.

‘Sooner or later, you’re gonna spoil her rotten! Ronin thought, shipking his head.

Barnaby gave the contracts Ronin brought a quick once-over, say everything was good, and signed his name. Then, without missing a beat, he grabbed the mop again and went right back to mopping like it was the most normal thing in the world,

Hannah was chilling on the bed, playing with Hedy. When she caught the guys’ voices drifting in from outside, a sly little smile crept onto her lips.

Meanwhile, Chloe was standing by the living room door, overhearing their conversation. She felt a strange mix of emotions bubbling up inside.

She thought Hannah was just getting way too full of herself, all because Barnaby spoiled her

‘How could someone as important as Barnaby end up doing chores like a regular guy, and even getting poked with needles all over his face? Hannah’s just abusing his affection, using his love to treat him however she wants, Chloe grumbled to herself.

‘If it were me… Chloe thought, her heart stirring with all kinds of possibilities.

“Oh my god, Barnaby, what did Hannah do to your face?” Chloe hurried over, concern all over her face. Those needles aren’t even in the right acupuncture points, they must be killing you. Let me help you take them out

“Get lost!” Barnaby shot back, glaring at her with obvious annoyance before ducking into the bedroom to keep cleaning

Chloe couldn’t hide her reluctance, but deep down, she kept telling herself that if she just showed Barnaby she was more thoughtful than Hannah, sooner or later, even a stone would warm up if one held it long enough.

“Barnaby, let me handle the cleaning. It’s a woman’s thing anyway; Chloe offered, putting on her best caring act

She followed him into the room and saw Hannah comfortably playing with Hedy on the bed Chloe didn’t feel awkward at all, since Hannah had invited her in the first place.

Hannah had only called Chloe over to help Ins with her medicine but hearing Chloe constantly use that nickname “Barnaby” every chance she got, Hannah’s brows knitted in annoyance.

Her gaze shifted between Barnaby and Chloe, and she asked, “When did you two get so chummy?

“Hannah, don’t get the wrong idea. Yesterday, when we were at the vet and Hedy was getting her IV drip, Barnaby just asked me a couple things about your past, that’s it, nothing else, I promise, Chloe hurried to explain,

But honestly, the more she tried to explain, the guiltier she sounded

“Why couldn’t you just ask me about my past? Why go to her instead? Hannah asked Barnaby, her tone pointed.

Chloe quickly cut in, “Hannah, please don’t be mad at Barnaby! He just wanted to learn more about your past, that’s all…
