But the moment she spotted a black Bentley parked just ahead, her heart, which had finally settled, suddenly shot up into her throat. Her grip on Anathea’s arm tightened instinctively.

“What’s wrong?” Anathea stopped and looked at her in confusion

“I, uh… just remembered I’ve got something ungent to take care of Hannah’s tone sounded a little awkward.

But Anathea didn’t think much of it. Given Hannah’s line of work, sudden plans were common. “Okay, go ahead. I’ll get the markers for Chloe myself.”

“Oh, can you also take Chloe home? Don’t let her sneak out.” Hannah grasped her hand, looking serious. “You know how scary some obsessed fans can be. If they found out I had a daughter…”

“Don’t worry. I understand.” Anathea nodded. “I’ll take her home and be with her. She’ll be safe.”

The apartment’s security was tighter than the hospital’s.

“Thanks, Thea.” With that, Hannah turned and walked off. She deliberately chose the direction opposite the hospital, hoping to draw the Bentley’s attention away as far as possible.

So she took a breath and plastered on a dazzling smile. “Of course not. I just wanted to see if you’d come after me. You know I like being pursued.”

Batting her lashes, she walked around the car and got into the front passenger seat. The moment she sat down, Dominic leaned over, grabbed her chin, and kissed her hard.

His kiss left her breathless. She tried to push him away. “N–Not here…”

“Not where?” he asked between kisses, deliberately playing dumb.

On a public road, obviously!

Hannah shot him a glare. He had no shame, but she still had some!

Dominic only smirked, undeterred. He tilted her chin again, about to continue kissing her.

The next second, a car behind them laid on the horn. Dominic frowned and finally released her. He pulled a and headed toward a hotel.

Hannah didn’t need to ask what he wanted. Her fingers tightened around the hem of her shirt as she negotiated, “Um… can you not leave any marks on my neck? I’ve got an audition tomorrow.”

“So soon?” Dominic frowned.
