The Real Heiress Is Coming Back (Hannah Carter) novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350 Let’s Not Meet

Barnaby pulled out the car keys, grabbed the cake from the passenger seat, and walked into the house Sooming Hannah in the study, he called out from the doorway, “Babe, I brought you tome Tiramisu Come out and try some

Hannah didn’t respond. She sat at her desk, expressionless, absentmindedly stroking the idle piglet on her lap

Barnaby noticed something was off with her expression. He set the cake down on the coffee table and walked over concern in his voice. “What’s wrong?”

Hannah shot him a cold look, then turned her gaze back to the computer screen. Barnaby followed her eyes and saw the code on the screen-it was the same code he’d written before.

His heart skipped a beat. Seeing Hannatis expression, he suddenly had a bad feeling

He pulled over a chair and sat down next to het ‘Babe, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Before he came back, Hannah’s mind had been a mess, but at thet moment, she suddenly felt calm. She just sat there, watching him, waiting to see what act he’d put on next.

Her cold, distant look made Barnaby feel like he was looking at a stranger. He hesitated for a moment, then finally cad what he’d been wanting to say but never found the right time for

*After we find out who was really behind Rosalie’s death, can you stop investigating any further?

‘Once I uncover who killed the woman who raised me, the truth about who set up the man who raised me and got him locked up will come to light. So why should I stop now? Hannah thought to herself.

Hannah forced herself to stay calm, her voice steady as she asked, “Why?”

*Because I promised Lysander I wouldn’t look into it anymore, and I won’t let anyone else dig into it either He’s done me a huge favor, and this is the only thing he’s ever asked of me. I just couldn’t tum him down Bamaby said. Tm sorry. I should ve told you sooner…”

But if he’d stopped her from the very beginning, he never would we had a chance to be with het

He admitted he’d been selfish at first, but after seeing everything she’d been through just to find the truth, he just couldn’t bring himself to stop her

Hannah stared at him. Just this moming, they’d been so close, but now he felt like someone she barely knew

She couldn’t tell if he was being honest or just acting again. How could I forget? This guy can flip the script in a second- he’s the ultimate drama king, she thought.

Hannah asked, “Did you go see him?”

Her voice was unusually calm, like the calm before the storm.

Barnaby thought for a moment. “About ten years ago.”

Ten years ago?

She’d been investigating her adoptive mother’s murder since she returned last year, and only now was he coming clean? “So you wiped the recording from the memory card on purpose And you even had Freud mess with my memories!”

With every word, it was like she was reminding herself just how naive she’d been.

She’d gotten burned by him twice, and still, she stupidly bought into all his sweet talk, letting him play her for a fool She almost wanted to ask him if he got a kick out of watching her run in circles, chasing the truth but never getting any closer. ‘Did he actually enjoy seeing me struggle like that? Hannah thought bitterly

Hearing that, Barnaby’s eyes darkened, emotions churning beneath the surface. So Freud really told her everything? he thought, anger and regret twisting inside him.

“Babe, let me explain. I didn’t delete the recording on purpose. Someone hired me to wipe one person’s voice from the memory card. I didn’t know it was Eleanor behind it-not until much later.

“But by then, it was already too late. To make up for it, I created that restoration software. I just hoped that if you ever learned the truth, you’d know I truly regretted what I did,’ he said

His words only made Hannah feel even more like he was just playing her Wasn’t it that software that brought us back together last time? Her heart sank

Back then, she’d thought he was actually helpi Successfully unlocked! she realized all those clues pinned up in his office were just his way of tracking how close

out how to throw her off.

Barnaby kept trying to explain, I had Freud after that memory because it was a painful one. I was afraid that if you remembered, you’d walk away from me…”

Hannah snapped, her voice shaking with anger, ‘Barnaby, I’m a person! I’m not your property! You have no right to make

decisions for me!”

He knew perfectly well how much that memory meant to her.

‘How could he be so selfish with me?’ Hannah’s heart ached with betrayal.

Barnaby had almost never seen Hannah this mad before. The guilt and panic inside him hit harder than ever.

“I’m sorry, babe. I messed up. I should’ve told you everything ages ago. I was just being selfish… I was terrified you’d leave me if you knew. I can’t lose you again.”

He grabbed Hannah’s hand, slid off the chair, and dropped to his knees in front of her.

His sudden movement startled the little piglet, who jumped off her lap and scurried away.

Hannah was stunned by what he did. Seeing him so desperate and humble-she’d never seen him like this before-her heart was a tangled mess.

She turned away, refusing to meet his eyes-afraid that if she let herself soften for even a moment, she’d end up falling for his words all over again.

After all, this was the man she’d once given her whole heart to.

But he was also the one who’d broken her heart time and time again.

Third time’s the charm, but she’d already been fooled twice. She was determined not to let it happen again.

Seeing how resolute she was, Barnaby grew even more frantic. Babe, please, look at me… I know I was wrong. I promise I won’t ever do this again. I’m sorry. Just give me one more chance, okay?”

Hannah said flatly, “Barnaby, I already gave you a chance.”

Last time, she forgave him. And what did that get her?

It only proved that his promises were just part of one big lie.

Barnaby fell silent.

Yeah, she had given him a chance-and he’d messed it up.

“I’ve never really been in a real relationship before. I screwed up because I didn’t know any better. Please, just give me one more chance-let me fix this, let me make it up to you,” Barnaby begged.

Hannah lifted her head, closed her eyes, and forced the tears back, refusing to let them fall.

After a long pause, she finally looked at him, her gaze sharp and serious. “Barnaby, if I decide to keep digging, would you do whatever it takes to stop me?”

Barnaby looked up at her, lost for words.

He was caught between the woman he loved most and Lysander who had saved him.
