Amelia froze, and Warren continued, “I’ve shown my wound to you last time. Why are you still interested?”
“I just want to see if your wound has cracked. You carried me all the way…” Amelia murmured.
“I’m not so weak that I can’t even walk for such a short distance. Besides, do you think the wound more than two months ago will crack again?” Warren said with irony.
Amelia was stunned, and then she realized that she was a little stupid. Warren’s wound had been stitched for more than two months, and he didn’t have any discomfort now. So he should be fine.
The car slowly drove away from the York residence and towards the villa.
Amelia sat in the back seat silently and didn’t say anything until Warren suddenly asked, “Why did you go out alone after hurting your foot? Was it my mother who contacted you and asked you to meet her?”
When Warren received the message that Lydia took Amelia back to the York residence, he knew that she had left the villa alone.
“No, I left the villa just to buy some bruise medicine. After that, I met your mother’s men at the door of the pharmacy…” Before Amelia finished her words, she suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, “The medicine I bought is still in your home… Can you stop the car by a pharmacy so that I can buy some medicine?”
Warren frowned and said, “There are such common medicines in the villa. Why did you go out to buy them alone? Didn’t you ask the servants for help?”
Amelia pursed her lips and said to the driver in the front row, “Sir, could you please stop when passing by a pharmacy? I’ll have to buy some medicine.”
However, Warren said to the driver, “Don’t stop. Drive directly back to the villa.”
“But I want to buy medicine,” Amelia said.
“As I said, there is medicine in the villa. Just ask the servant for it later,”
Chapter 1314 Warren said.
“They did not give it to you, did they?” Warren said directly.
Amelia pursed her red lips tightly, and Warren knew he was right. “You are still Mrs. York now. How could you be fooled by the servants so easily?” Warren said.
“They don’t treat me as Mrs. York,” Amelia said. Because of Warren’s attitude towards Amelia, the servants naturally wouldn’t show her the respect she deserved. They even secretly guessed when Amelia would divorce Warren and leave the villa.
Although Amelia didn’t say what she was thinking, Warren could guess what had happened.
“So, are you blaming me?” Warren asked.
“I’m not blaming you. We should have divorced. So there’s nothing wrong with you to treat me so coldly,” Amelia said calmly.
But her calm tone made Warren feel uncomfortable.
When the car arrived at the gate of the villa, Amelia opened the door and was about to get off when Warren went over to pick her up.
“Walk slowly? Do you mean limping into the room?” Warren said.
Amelia was rendered speechless at once. She bit her lower lip slightly, and her face blushed.
Even though Warren held her in his arms at this time probably because he thought she was too slow in movements or he was sympathetic with her, Amelia felt a sense of security that had been lost for a long time when she was leaning in his arms.
Warren carried Amelia all the way to the living room. Then he carefully put Amelia on the sofa and ordered the servant, “Go get the first aid kit. Ask Melissa to come over to check Mrs. York’s wound on her foot.”
“Yes,” the servant answered and left the living room in a hurry to find Melissa.
surprise. As for the maid who refused Amelia when she asked for a first aid kit, she looked afraid now.
She was afraid that Amelia would tell Warren about it. At that time, the maid would definitely lose her job.
Working as a servant in the York family could earn the maid a salary much higher than that of many white-collar workers. Such an easy and high-paying job could not be found easily.
Melissa soon came to the living room, and the servant who went to get the first aid kit also came with a box.
“Mr. York, what can I do for you?” Melissa asked.
“Check on my wife’s foot. She twisted her ankle,” Warren said.
Melissa was shocked. It was the first time that Warren had called Amelia his wife in front of everyone, and this undoubtedly declared Amelia’s identity publicly. He was telling everyone to remember that Amelia was the hostess of the York family.
“Yes,” Melissa said and walked to Amelia. Then she squatted down, lifted Amelia’s trouser leg, and began to check her ankle.
But such a posture made Melissa a little embarrassed. At the moment, Amelia was sitting on the sofa condescendingly, while Melissa was bending down and squatting on the ground like a servant.
What was more embarrassing was that Amelia’s ankle injury was caused by Melissa, and Melissa didn’t know whether Amelia had told Warren about what had happened on the stairs.
Melissa was nervous. After a moment, she got up and said, “Mrs. York’s ankle is fine. It’s just that her ankle was sprained and swollen. It will get better in a few days after medicine is applied.”
Then Melissa took out a bottle of ointment from the first aid kit and was about to hand it over to Amelia when Warren took the bottle from Melissa’s hands first. After that, Warren bent down and squatted in front of Amelia to apply the ointment for her personally!
“Don’t move,” Warren said in a low voice. Then he took off Amelia’s shoe and sock first. He held her foot with one hand and applied ointment to her ankle with the other.
applied it to her ankle, which relieved the burning pain of Amelia’s ankle.
After Warren applied the ointment to Amelia, he picked her up again and carried her towards her room.
Amelia could feel that the servants were looking at them.
After they entered Amelia’s room, Warren put Amelia on the bed and then put the ointment bottle on the nightstand. “Remember to follow the instructions. Apply it to your ankle three times a day,” Warren said.
After saying that, Warren turned around and was about to leave.
“Wait!” Amelia stopped Warren and asked, “Did you do it on purpose?” It seemed that Warren deliberately applied the ointment to Amelia and carried her into her room in front of everyone.
Chapter 1315
Warren could let others do those things for him.
“Anyway, you are still my wife. We haven’t divorced yet. The servants should understand this,” Warren said.
Amelia suddenly felt touched. Warren was always like this. He always did more than he talked. He would use his actions to express his feelings.
In the future, before Amelia divorced Warren, the servants in the villa would not dare to disrespect her anymore.
“Thank you,” Amelia said.
Warren seemed to be a little surprised. Amelia was slighted by the servants in the villa because of Warren’s attitude. He just wanted her to be respected. Why should Amelia thank him so seriously?
“By the way, have you ever made a deal with my mother? What was the thing you promised her in the hospital?” Warren suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Amelia suddenly became nervous. Her hands hanging beside her body grasped the hem of her clothes.
As expected, Warren had heard a lot about Amelia and Lydia’s conversation.
How could Amelia tell Warren that his mother once knelt down and begged Amelia to leave him?
If Warren knew about it, how would he react?
“Don’t you want to tell me?” As Amelia kept silent for a long time, Warre said, “In fact, even if you don’t tell me, I can guess that it must be that my mother asked you to leave me when I was injured and hospitalized in order to save you. What was her condition? Money? Or the York family will not compete for custody in the future?”
Amelia was shocked, which made Warren know that he was right.
“It seems that I’m right. Amelia, you said that you were afraid of dragging me down, so you wanted to break up with me. But now it seems that it’s not just about that,” Warren said coldly.
“Yes, your mother asked me to leave you, but I didn’t exchange for
anything. I chose to leave you at that time jus,dn’t exchange for
10:02 D
Chapter 1315
“Just what?” Warren interrupted Amelia. “Dare you say that your decision to break up with me at that time had nothing to do with my mom?”
Amélia was silent. Indeed, it had something to do with Lydia.
If Lydia hadn’t begged Amelia like that, maybe Amelia wouldn’t have thought too much. Maybe she would have been with Warren and he wouldn’t have chosen to hypnotize himself.
All those things caused the situation today.
“Look, you said you loved me, but you could easily leave me because of another person. It seems that you never love me much,” Warren said with sarcasm, looking at Amelia with a serious expression. Amelia couldn’t guess what he was thinking now.
Amelia looked into Warren’s eyes and asked, “Do you think I don’t love you much?”
“Isn’t it?” Warren sneered. “Three months will pass soon, and then we won’t have to meet again.”
Just as Warren was about to
walk away Amelia suddenly couldn’t hold back her suppressed feelings anymore. Regardless of the pain in her ankle, Amelia suddenly stood up and grabbed Warren. She pulled him hard and fell onto the bed with him.
Warren was surprised. When he came back to his senses, Amelia had already put her hands on both sides of his body and looked down at him, while he was under her.
Amelia’s dark eyes were filled with tears. It seemed that the tears would gush out of her eyes the next second.
“Don’t you believe that I love you so much?” Amelia sobbed, and her heart was full of bitterness. She didn’t know how to vent her sadness.
“Why should I believe you? Don’t forget that you have told me a thousand times that you don’t love me,” Warren said, trying to push Amelia away. He didn’t want to see her eyes full of tears.
Warren felt like if he took one more look at Amelia, his heart would be more painful.
However, when Warren held Amelia’s shoulders with his hands, Amelia lowered her head and kissed him on the lips,
10:02
Chapter 1315
Her kiss was hard. It seemed that she was trying to make Warren believe how much she loved him.
What should Amelia do to make Warren believe that she really loved
him?
What should she do to spend the rest of her life with him? “You used to love me so much. You could even sacrifice your life for me!” Amelia thought.
But Amelia could not even make Warren believe that she really loved
him.
Amelia kissed Warren with all her heart. She closed her eyes slowly, and tears gushed out of her eyes, falling down her cheeks and mixing into the kiss.
Warren’s body stiffened, and the blood all over his body seemed to surge towards his lips.
His mind gradually became confused, and his hands, which had been pressing against her shoulders, became weak.
Warren could push Amelia away with just a little force, but he didn’t.
Was he unwilling? Or was he reluctant to push her away?
Warren sank into Amelia’s kiss.
Amelia’s fingers gently stroked Warren’s cheek, and then they touched his neck and his collarbone.
When the kiss stopped, Warren heard a heavy breathing sound, but he couldn’t tell whether it was hers or his,
The blood all over Warren’s body seemed to move with the movement of Amelia’s fingers.
Even though Warren had no feelings for Amelia, he was turned on by her.
“Warren, I love you,” Amelia murmured, and she kept kissing Warren gently.
In a trance, Warren used his last rationality to force himself to calm down. “What can you do for me if you love me? What can you sacrifice for me? The kids? Family? Friends? Or your life?” he asked.

Chapter 1315
Amelia suddenly stopped. At that moment, she didn’t know how to answer Warren.
Amelia’s silence made Warren calm down. “Amelia, if you don’t want to sacrifice anything for me, why should I believe that you love me? You are just talking the most meaningless lie,” Warren said.
Warren pushed Amelia away and stood up. Then he turned his back to her and said, “Don’t use this trick on me next time. It might work on me in the past, but I am not interested in you now.”
After Warren left the room, Amelia was alone again.
Amelia lowered her head and wrapped her arms around her body. It was so difficult to make Warren believe her.
And what could Amelia sacrifice for Warren?
In the past, Amelia loved Warren so much that she could sacrifice her life for him. But now she wanted to cherish her life because Warren saved it with great effort.
Chapter 1316
Rosalie came to a bookstore and wanted to choose some books and buy some stationery for Aiden. Amelia had gone to Lofbury, so Matilda had to take care of the two children alone. Rosalie also wanted to help Matilda take care of the kids.
Thinking of the three-month bet that Amelia had told her, Rosalie couldn’t help but feel a little worried. She didn’t expect Amelia to make such a bet with Warren.
If Warren didn’t undo his hypnosis in three months, it would be too difficult for him to fall in love with Amelia again.
“Why didn’t you set the due longer? Like three years or something?” On the video call, Rosalie said to Amelia.
“If I really ask for three years, maybe he will sue for divorce directly. I guess three months will be his limit,” Amelia said.
“What if he insists on divorcing after three months?” Rosalie asked.
“Then I will divorce him,” Amelia said.
“What about your future…” Rosalie was shocked.
“I will raise Aiden and Zinnia alone. Maybe this is my destiny. I was destined to lose Warren, but in these three months, I want to try hard again. I don’t want to regret it in the future,” Amelia said.
Thinking of Amelia’s determined look on the video, Rosalie sighed again. Then she went to the children’s book section and picked up several books and some stationery. When she was about to check out, she saw Calvin.
Calvin was looking around as if he was looking for something.
As if Calvin felt Rosalie’s gaze, he looked over. Then he calmed down and stared straight at Rosalie.
Calvin’s eyes immediately made Rosalie understand that he must be looking for her just now.
After a pause, Calvin strode towards Rosalie.
“You’re really here!” Calvin stood in front of Rosalie.
“Are you looking for me?” Rosalie was a little surprised.

“Passing by the bookstore, I saw your car outside and came in to try my
gar
luck,” Calvin said, glancing at the books and stationery in Rosalie’s hands. “Why did you buy these…”
“They’re for Aiden,” Rosalie said as she walked to the cashier.
Calvin knew Aiden, so he didn’t say anything. He followed Rosalie, staring at her slightly bulged abdomen. It seemed that he was thinking about something.
When Rosalie finished paying the bill and walked to the door of the bookstore, she said to Calvin, “If you have nothing else, I gotta go now. Bye!”
“Wait!” Calvin couldn’t help but stop Rosalie.
“What?” Rosalie stopped and turned to look at Calvin.
“Do you really have to give birth to this child?” Calvin asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Rosalie smiled and said, “If I can give birth to a healthy baby, why shouldn’t I?”
Calvin couldn’t help but say, “But the price you have to pay for giving birth to it…”
“The baby won’t cost my life,” Rosalie interrupted Calvin. “Look, my health may be slightly affected, but I can have a baby. I think it’s worth it.”
Calvin looked at Rosalie blankly and murmured after a while, “If Jonathan was the one who advised you today, would you be so
stubborn?”
“If it was him, he wouldn’t persuade me,” Rosalie said.
Calvin smiled bitterly and said, “Because he knows you, right?”
Rosalie didn’t speak, but her expression meant that her answer was “yes”.
Calvin showed a sadder look and said, “Yeah. I don’t understand you. No… I never understand you.”
If Calvin really understood Rosalie, how could he recognize her so late? How could he believe someone else when Rosalie needed help most?
It was because Calvin didn’t understand Rosalie that he had missed her!

Chapter 1316
“Calvin, don’t be so obsessed. If you can let it go, you will have a new start. I believe that you will meet a woman who really deserves your love,” Rosalie said.
‘But that woman is not you. Is that what you mean?” Calvin’s voice was
hoarse.
“Yes, that woman will not and should not be me. If you really wish me happy, you should let me go. I don’t want Jonathan to misunderstand us,” Rosalie said.
It was not easy for Calvin to let Rosalie go! But looking at Rosalie’s happy life now, Calvin said, “Okay, I’ll let you go.”
If this was the way to make Rosalie happy, Calvin would try his best to do it.
No matter how unwilling he was and even if he had to pretend to be fine, Calvin would do it for Rosalie.
Looking at Calvin’s faint smile, Rosalie suddenly felt sad. But the next moment, Calvin passed her and got into a nearby car.
The car slowly drove away, and Rosalie lowered her head.
She couldn’t give Calvin any response after all, because the person she loved was never him.
Rosalie went to the concession stand and gave Aiden all the stationery and books. Then she returned to the Youngblood residence.
Back in the bedroom, Rosalie was going to change into her pajamas. The next moment, Jonathan’s arms wrapped around her body from behind, and he kissed her neck.
Rosalie smelled Jonathan’s smell and was stunned. “Jonathan!” she shouted.
He was the only one who could do such a thing to Rosalie in the Youngblood residence.
“Yeah…” Jonathan gently responded to Rosalie. He turned her body around and kissed her lips. His passionate kiss made Rosalie almost breathless.
After a while, Jonathan stopped and held Rosalie tightly in his arms. “If you weren’t pregnant now, I would…”

Chapter 1316
Jonathan didn’t finish his words, but his meaning was obvious.
Rosalie blushed and said, “Why did you suddenly…” Suddenly, she
seemed to think about something and asked, “Did you know I met Calvin today?”
Rosalie knew that Jonathan had arranged bodyguards to protect her in the dark.
“Yeah, I’ve known it!” Jonathan said in a low voice.
“Jonathan, Calvin and I… We just had a few words, and…”
“And what?” Jonathan asked.
“Maybe he’ll let me go.” Rosalie thought of Calvin’s last words today..
Although Calvin said so in a calm tone, Rosalie could feel how determined he was when he said those words.
“Maybe?” Jonathan snorted lightly and then kissed Rosalie more passionately. “Even if he can’t let you go, he won’t have any chances.. Rosalie, you are mine and will always be mine!”
Chapter 1317
Jonathan wanted to possess Rosalie alone!
She only belonged to him. No one could covet her.
Jonathan’s kiss made Rosalie almost lose her mind. She finally said with the last trace of sensibility, “Jonathan… Don’t… Don’t go on. I can’t do it
Ow…
“I know. I won’t do anything. Rosalie, I just want to kiss you and let you know how much I love you!” Jonathan’s magnetic voice was full of temptation, and his breathing, his eyes, and his embrace were all attracting Rosalie.
She was sinking into it…
Calvin meant it when he said that he would let Rosalie go.
He wanted her to be happy.
Since it was Rosalie’s wish, Calvin would try hard to realize it. Even if he was just lying to himself, he wanted to achieve Rosalie’s wish for her!
Calvin would make everyone around him think that he had forgotten Rosalie. Of course, she would also think so.
Calvin knew that he should let Rosalie go. If he didn’t, it would make no sense at all. Letting her go was the best choice.
But to Calvin, it didn’t matter to him whether things made sense or not Over the years, Rosalie had become some kind of spiritual support for Calvin. If he let her go, what did he still have?
Calvin drove aimlessly. It was not until the car stopped that he found himself stopping at the door of the pasta restaurant where Rosalie once worked.
But now, the pasta restaurant had become a diner and the name of the sign had been changed.
At that time, at the door of this shop, Calvin wanted Rosalie to be the substitute for the girl he had been looking for. However, he didn’t know how ridiculous it was to ask Rosalie to be her own substitute.
Rosalie told Calvin that she would not be a substitute for anyone and that Calvin could never treat a substitute in the same way as he treated the
1/4
09:33
Chapter 1317
person he was really looking for.
Rosalie was right. Calvin had found so many substitutes, but he made the same mistake again and again.
When Calvin went abroad, he met Roxanne who was very similar to Rosalie.
But the more Calvin got to know Roxanne, the more he felt that she was not the person he had been looking for.
Calvin parked his car at the door of the diner and walked in.
It was almost time for dinner, and there were customers sitting at several tables in the diner.
The shopkeeper walked forward and asked enthusiastically if Calvin’ would like to share a table with other customers.
“Okay,” Calvin said lightly.
So the shopkeeper led Calvin to a table at which only one person was sitting.
Calvin sat opposite the person and ordered a meal casually.
Calvin didn’t want to have anything at this moment. He just wanted to come in and sit for a while.
“Oh, it’s you!” A clear female voice sounded.
Calvin looked up and saw a woman with a round face.
She had doe eyes, a ponytail, a small nose, and pink lips. She seemed be kind and easy-going.
Calvin felt the face was a little familiar, and he narrowed his eyes slightly
“It was raining last time. Do you remember that we had a talk?” Hanna said.
Calvin’s eyes lit up slightly. He had already remembered Hanna, the woman who held an umbrella for him when he was in the rain last time.
But Calvin didn’t expect to meet her again here.
“Don’t you remember me?” Calvin’s silence made Hanna feel a little embarrassed. After all, they had just met once. It was natural that Calvin didn’t remember her.
2/4
09:33
Chapter 1317
“I remember you,” Calvin suddenly said.
Hanna breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I thought you didn’t remember me. That would be too embarrassing.”
Calvin withdrew his gaze and said, “It was the first time that someone had thought I wanted to kill myself. How could I not remember?”
Hanna’s relieved expression turned embarrassed again. “Sorry. I just thought you seemed to have encountered something sad at that time. So I… Well, do you feel better now?” Hanna said.
Calvin thought that he would never feel better. He just ignored Hanna and waited for his meal quietly.
After a while, Calvin’s meal was served and he started to eat it slowly.
Hanna couldn’t help but look at Calvin in front of her. He was dressed in a fit suit and sitting straight. He looked elegant when he had his meal.
Someone like Calvin should eat French food in a high-end restaurant with rich taste instead of having dinner in such a diner.
Somehow, when Hanna saw Calvin, she only felt that he was indifferent and alienated. She felt as if his world had been closed and no one was allowed to approach him. And he did not have any interest in others.
Calvin seemed to be melancholic and world-weary.
Why did such an elegant man give Hanna such a feeling?
At this moment, Hanna had finished her dinner, but she was still sittin in her seat and staring at Calvin blankly.
“Have you seen me enough?” Calvin suddenly said in a cold voice.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I was too rude,” Hanna apologized to Calvin in a hurry and thought, “Oh my God. What was I doing? I can’t stare at a cute guy so blatantly.”
Hanna’s friend Shelly used to remind Hanna from time to time, “Hanna, you can’t do this all the time. You can look at cute guys. But don’t be so bold. There’s nothing wrong with appreciating beautiful people and getting inspiration from them. But some may think that you’re a pervert!”
As a cartoonist who specialized in drawing girls, Hanna couldn’t help but stare at the good-looking people. Then she fantasized about what would her drawing be if she drew the people she met.
3/4
09:33
Chapter 1317
But over the years, Hanna had changed a lot, and she rarely stared at people so boldly.
Maybe it was because she had painted a lot of beautiful people over the years. So she could hardly be amazed by people’s appearance.
But Calvin was different.
His facial features were indeed very beautiful, which made Hanna want to draw him. But compared with his appearance, what attracted Hanna more was Calvin’s depressed temperament.
Hanna couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to Calvin to make him become so cold and unapproachable.
“Don’t be curious. This is none of your business!” Hanna said to herself in her heart. She knew that what she should do now was say goodbye and leave.
Chapter 1318
But Hanna hesitated. After a while, she took out her handbag and took out a notepaper and a pen from it.
She lowered her head, drew a cartoon avatar on the paper, and then handed it to Calvin. “Here you are. I hope you can be happy,” Hanna said.
Calvin looked at the notepaper in front of him. The cartoon avatar on the paper was just a sketch, but Hanna had grasped his characteristics. When people saw this cartoon avatar, they knew that it was Calvin.
The cartoon avatar in the painting was smiling, but Calvin couldn’t remember how long it had been since he smiled the last time.
“Although I don’t know what happened to you, I believe when you really get over it and look back at the past, you will find that nothing is a big deal,” Hanna said.
Was it so? Calvin pursed his thin lips. Hanna didn’t know what he was going through!
However, Calvin knew that he had to get over it!
He stared at Hanna in front of him with his dark eyes. If that person was not Rosalie, then it didn’t matter who it was.
“Do you want to be my girlfriend?” Calvin suddenly asked in a charming voice.
At this time, Hanna picked up her handbag and was about to leave Hearing Calvin’s words, she stood still in shock. Her round eyes w and she was wondering whether she had misheard.
“Do you have a boyfriend?” Calvin asked again.
In a trance, Hanna shook her head.
“So are you into anyone now?” Calvin asked again.
Hanna shook her head again.
“So how about being my girlfriend? In exchange, you can ask for anything,” Calvin said.
Hanna was shocked. She didn’t hear it wrong. Calvin really wanted her to be his girlfriend!
1/4
09:34
Chapter 1318
But Hanna doubted how such a handsome guy could be single. With his amazing face, he should never lack women.
“Why do you want me to be your girlfriend?” Hanna asked blankly. At this time, Calvin was still looking at Hanna indifferently, with no affection in his eyes.
“Because it doesn’t make much difference to me whoever I am with. If you don’t want to, then you can just refuse me,” Calvin said calmly.
It seemed that whether Hanna accepted or refused him, it was no different for Calvin.
Hanna’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Should she refuse him?
Normally, she should refuse him. But somehow, Hanna felt her refusal seemed to have been stuck in her throat at this moment and she couldn’t say anything.
When Hanna returned to the studio from the diner, she was still at a loss.
Did she really become Calvin’s girlfriend?
They had only met each other twice. Hanna was afraid if she told anyone about this story, they would think she was crazy.
Hanna even doubted whether Calvin was urged to get married and needed a temporary girlfriend because of family pressure or something. But Calvin explained, “Although my family does want me to get married
I won’t find a girlfriend for that.”
soon,
“So what are you doing this for?” Hanna was curious.
But Calvin’s expression was serious. He didn’t mean to answer Han question. And his deep eyes were telling her that he didn’t want her t about the reason.
“I just want a girlfriend. In front of others, we should pretend to be happy. If you meet someone you really love in the future, you can dump me for whatever reason you want,” Calvin said.
Hearing Calvin’s words, Hanna knew that he didn’t intend to fall in with her at all. It seemed that it was his last resort to ask Hanna to be his
girlfriend.
“Are you going to be my girlfriend?” Calvin stared at Hanna with his dark eyes, and his voice was clear and pleasant.
2/4
09:34
Chapter 1318
At that moment, Hanna heard her voice saying, “Okay.”
How could Hanna say “OK” at that time? Obviously, Calvin just wanted to have a nominal relationship, but she agreed!
Thinking of this, Hanna couldn’t help but raise her hand and knock on her head.
Was Hanna obsessed with Calvin’s handsome face? He was so charming that she agreed to such an absurd proposal.
At this moment, Hanna’s phone rang. She picked up her phone and answered it. It was from Shelly. “Hanna, when are you free? Let’s discuss the subject of your new comic.”
Hanna replied, “Okay. I’ll be free tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, I’ll come to your studio tomorrow morning.” As the editor of a comic magazine, Shelly was responsible for communicating with Hanna.
“Okay,” Hanna answered.
“By the way, after we finish talking about the subject, will you go on a blind date with me tomorrow night?” Shelly said.
“Are you going on a blind date again?” Hanna was helpless.
“Yeah. My blind date said that he would bring his friend together. So he let me bring a friend with me so that we can have fun together. And it seems that his friend is also single. You may have a try if you like him,” Shelly said.
Hanna had been single for so many years since she broke up last ti Shelly sometimes wondered whether Hanna had been hurt too muc and was afraid to start a new relationship again.
However, Shelly’s worry was proved unnecessary when she heard Hanna’s answer.
“No, I already have a boyfriend,” Hanna said.
“What?” Shelly was surprised and shouted, “What did you say? Do you have a boyfriend?”
“Yes.” Hanna thought she could say so.
“Really? What does he do? How did you know each other? Why didn’t
you mention it before?” Shelly asked a series of questions.

Chapter 1318
At this point, Hanna suddenly realized that she didn’t even know what Calvin did. Maybe he needed to wear a suit for his work.
“I’ve only met him twice… Well, I forgot to ask him what he does,” Hanna said awkwardly.
Shelly was shocked and said, “You don’t even know what he does, so you have agreed to be his girlfriend. Then do you know your boyfriend’s name or where he lives?”
Hanna was even more embarrassed. She really didn’t know!
When Hanna agreed to Calvin’s request, she was too shocked. She only heard him say, “Okay, then let’s do it.” Then Calvin left the diner. After that, Hanna also left.
Chapter 1319
The next day, when Shelly came to Hanna’s studio, she couldn’t help but complain again, “How could you be so reckless? You must have been fooled by him!”
After Shelly learned what happened in the diner from Hanna, Shelly thought Hanna had been fooled.
“He doesn’t look like a bad guy,” Hanna whispered.
“Could he tell you that he was a bad guy? If he had been serious, at least he would have told you his number. You don’t even know how to contact him now. How will you date with him?” Shelly said.
Hanna couldn’t make a retort.
Was Calvin really just making fun of Hanna? But somehow, when Hanna thought of Calvin’s tone and eyes at that time, she felt he should be
serious.
But she didn’t know his number. Could she see him again in the future?
“By the way, why did you agree to that man’s request?” Shelly asked.
“Probably… Because he has a beautiful face.” Hanna was a little guilty. She had another reason.
Calvin looked desperate. Hanna felt that if she didn’t help him, he would fall into the abyss.
Hanna used to be in the same situation. At that time, she found that feelings were just a game in the eyes of others. She still remembered it felt to be hopeless.
If Hanna hadn’t been helped by Shelly at that time, maybe Hanna woul have been living a different life now.
“If that man was just making fun of me, it means that he doesn’t have to find a girlfriend to solve his problem. That should be good,” Hanna breathed a sigh of relief and said.
“Don’t be so naïve. If he is really so good-looking, will he lack a girlfriend? You’re so easy to fool. That asshole Lorin…” Suddenly, Shelly stopped talking and showed an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry, I…”
“What are you apologizing for? You’re right. Lorin is indeed an asshole.”

Hanna pretended to be fine and smiled. Then she raised her hands and hugged Shelly, saying, “Shelly, thank you for helping me at that time. You saved me from despair.”
What are you talking about? Well, you should accompany me on the blind date tonight. Maybe the friend of my date is also a nice person!” Shelly said with a smile.
In the evening, Shelly took Hanna to the restaurant where she and her date would meet. But when they arrived at the table, Hanna’s expression suddenly changed.
There were already two men sitting on one side of the table. One of them, wearing a white shirt, had a handsome face. He used to be the cutest guy in many girls’ eyes!
It was Lorin!
Hanna didn’t expect to meet Lorin here. Seeing Lorin, Shelly was also dumbfounded. She blurted out, “Lorin? Why are you here?”
“Well, do you know each other?” Kolton Mcbride, Shelly’s blind date asked with surprise.
“Yeah, we do. We’re from the same university but in different departments,” Lorin answered.
“What a coincidence. Come on, have a seat. Please order whatever you want,” Kolton said to Shelly and Hanna enthusiastically.
Hanna knew that Shelly had a good impression of Kolton. They had been chatting online for almost two weeks, and it was the first time t had met each other.
“Hanna, why don’t we…” Shelly wanted to leave this blind date party wit
Hanna.
After all, Shelly knew how Lorin hurt Hanna before. If Hanna had to have dinner with Lorin, it would hurt Hanna again.
But before Shelly could finish her words, Hanna said, “Shelly, let’s take a
seat.”
”
“But…”
Hanna gave Shelly a comforting look and quietly pinched her hand to indicate to Shelly that she was fine. Then Hanna took Shelly’s hand to sit

down.
After ordering the meal, Shelly took Hanna to leave the table under the excuse of going to the bathroom.
“Hanna, you don’t have to worry about me. I didn’t know that Kolton and Lorin were friends. If I had known…”
“You wouldn’t have asked me to come with you, right? It doesn’t matter. Lorin hurt me, but I can’t avoid him forever. If I can’t face him now, it means that I still care about the past. Shelly, I don’t want to escape this time. Besides, I don’t have to escape just because of Lorin, do I?” Hanna said.
Shelly suddenly felt that Hanna was stronger than she thought. Hanna’s sincere eyes told Shelly that Hanna had really gotten over Lorin.
“Yeah, he doesn’t deserve it,” Shelly said and smiled.
At the same time, Kolton looked at Lorin and said hesitantly, “Mr. Esther, did you know that they would come here today?”
Kolton didn’t know why he had such a feeling.
Lorin was not Kolton’s friend, but a CEO of his company. It was said that Lorin would join the board of directors of the head office in the future. He just came to the branch to prepare for his future promotion.
Accidentally, Lorin saw Shelly’s photo on Kolton’s phone and chatted with him for a while. After that, Lorin asked Kolton to bring him to the blind date party in the name of bringing a friend.
At that time, Kolton was confused. But he didn’t dare to refuse Kolton because of Kolton’s identity.
What happened just now made Kolton realize that Lorin had long guessed that Shelly would be accompanied by Hanna. It seemed that everything was in Lorin’s expectation.
Lorin smiled faintly and said, “Anyway, I’m your friend now. Today, I’m only here to accompany you to a blind date party, right?”
When Lorin said this, he glanced in the direction of the bathroom.
After so many years, Lorin finally saw Hanna again. He had thought she would turn around and leave without saying a word after seeing him, but
as a result, she sat down calmly and looked at him with no more
During dinner, although Kolton tried to warm up the atmosphere, it was
strange.
“I’ve heard Shelly talk about you. She said that you are a comic artist. I am wondering what kind of comic you paint. I will read your work as soon as possible,” Kolton said.
“It’s some girl romantic cartoons. You can ask Shelly about the details. She is my editor, and she knows it best. But I guess you may not like this kind of comic,” Hanna said with a smile.

Kolton smiled awkwardly and asked, “So do you make up the stories by yourself when drawing comics?”
“Some cartoonists cooperate with authors, but my comics and stories are all conceived by me,” Hanna said.
“Isn’t it difficult to make up a story?” Kolton asked.
“It depends. Sometimes it’s not difficult once I am inspired,” Hanna replied.
“What if you don’t have inspiration? Will it be easier to get inspiration if you are in a relationship?” Kolton asked.
“Not necessarily. I can watch films and TV dramas. Other comics and novels can also inspire me,” Hanna said.
“Shelly said you’re thinking about the subject of a new comic now.”
“Yeah. We’ve had a long discussion today. It hasn’t been decided yet,” Hanna said.
Shelly also complained, “Well, it’s difficult to start with a new comic. When we have to determine the topic and outline the concept, we will be particularly painful.”
“So will a romantic relationship inspire you, Ms. Zimmerman?” When Kolton asked this, he glanced at Lorin.
Lorin’s expression did not change. It seemed that he was just enjoyi conversation.
But what Hanna said next made Lorins expression change.
“I do have a boyfriend,” Hanna said.
“What? Do you already have a boyfriend?” Kolton was surprised, while Shelly hesitated for a moment and then said as if she was showing off, “Yeah, Hanna already has a boyfriend!
Shelly’s words were said to Lorin. After all, Lorin humiliated Hanna and made her become a joke on campus. Now Shelly felt like she had helped Hanna win Lorin this time.
“But we agreed to bring a single friend with us here…” Kolton glanced at

Lorin uneasily.
In Kolton’s opinion, today’s party was arranged by Lorin because he wanted to meet Hanna.
Before Shelly could answer, Hanna said first, “Sorry, Mr. Mcbride. I asked Shelly to bring me here because I wanted to see who she was dating with.”
Kolton smiled bitterly. He didn’t care whether Hanna was single or not, but he was worried that Lorin would be unhappy.
“Do you have a boyfriend?” Lorin stared at Hanna and asked.
Hanna met Lorin’s eyes and said, “Yes, I do.”
“How is that possible?” Lorin said.
Hearing this, Shelly was annoyed and said unhappily, “How is that impossible? Hanna has too many suitors! Lorin, did you think that there was no guy around Hanna?”
Lorin suddenly stood up, leaned over, and grabbed Hanna’s wrist, asking, “Do you really have a boyfriend?”
Lorin’s burning eyes gave people a sense of oppression.
Hanna frowned and said, “Lorin, let go of me!”
“Tell me,
do you really have a boyfriend?” Lorin asked again.
“I…” Hanna just opened her mouth and wanted to say something whe she suddenly heard a male voice. “Are you in trouble?” Calvin’s clear indifferent voice shocked Hanna.
She suddenly looked up and saw Calvin’s cold and delicate face. Wearin a light gray suit, Calvin was still so handsome and elegant. At this moment, his deep eyes were fixed on Hanna.
At this time, Hanna was sure that he was the man she had only met twice!
Hanna thought she would never meet Calvin again. After all, Strico was a big city and it was impossible for Hanna to meet a stranger again.
But she didn’t expect to meet Calvin here again.
“You… Why are you here?” Hanna said in surprise.
“I just finished talking business with the boss here, but I saw you. Do you

need my help?” Calvin said.
“I do.” Hanna took a deep breath and turned to Lorin, saying, “He’s my boyfriend. Are you clear?”
Lorin frowned, looking back and forth between Hanna and Calvin, and asked, “Is he your boyfriend?”
“Yes, I’m Hanna’s boyfriend. Is there a problem?” Calvin said calmly, reaching out his hand towards Lorin’s hand which was holding Hanna’s wrist.
The next moment, Lorin felt pain in his hand.
“I don’t like someone holding my girlfriend’s hand like this. You’d better let her go now, otherwise…” Calvin didn’t finish his words, but his meaning was obvious.
Lorin pursed his lips tightly into a line. He had an intuition that Calvin was by no means an ordinary person.
After a moment of silence, Lorin released his hand.
Calvin also withdrew his hand.
Then Calvin looked at Hanna and said, “Are you leaving now?”
“What?” Hanna didn’t realize Calvin’s meaning at once.
“If you want to leave, I’ll leave with you. If you want to stay, then I’ll come to pick you up when you finish,” Calvin said.
Hanna thought for a while and then turned to Shelly and Kolton, sa “Excuse me, I think I should leave now!”
“Oh… It’s okay,” Kolton said with an awkward smile, glancing at Lorin secretly.
At this moment, Lorin was staring at Calvin with a hostile look.
Kolton was stunned, but just as he wanted to look at Lorin more carefully, he found that the hostility on Lorin’s face had disappeared and Lorin had returned to normal.
Shelly’s eyes widened at this moment, and she was still in disbelief.
‘Oh, my God. Is this the boyfriend Hanna talked about?
He looks so gorgeous!

If I were her, maybe I would also be fooled!’ Shelly thought.
After Hanna and Calvin left, Shelly suddenly realized that she had let Hanna leave with that bad guy!
“Oh, my God! Will Hanna be fine?” Shelly said in her heart.
After Hanna got into Calvin’s car, she was still in a daze. “What a coincidence… I didn’t expect to meet you again here. I was thinking that we didn’t have each other’s number at all, so I might not be able to meet you again in the future,” Hanna said.
“I know your number,” Calvin said, directly reporting her phone number and address.
Hanna looked at Calvin in surprise and asked, “How did you know that?”
“Your name is Hanna Zimmerman, a professional cartoonist with your own studio. Your parents died early…” The more Calvin said, the more surprised Hanna became.
