The school's commercial shops also gave various benefits and concessions about Christmas.
"Tomorrow is Christmas. The lucky year, how are you going to spend it? How about we go to have hot pot?" Lily was planning beside her.
Hannah was distracted. To be exact, tomorrow was the safe night, and it was also Kendric's engagement day.
She was still a little confused.
"Hannah, Hannah…" Lily shook her a few times.
Hannah came to her senses and smiles at Lily. "Oh, I'm just thinking which hot pot restaurant should I go to."
The second one that he went to with James was not bad. It was in the city center and was close to the school. It was a good choice.
In fact, it was quite lively tomorrow night. When her husband got engaged, she went to the party with her friends.
Lily nodded immediately. "Yes, after Christmas, it's time for us to go for an internship. After the New Year, in fact, it's almost the same as graduation."
Yes time flew. In the blink of an eye, four years of time slipped away in the blink of an eye.
Although she tried her best to graduate as soon as possible and escape from her previous life, Hannah was still full of sadness when she thought that she would be separated from her friends Lily.
Following Lily to circle around twice, she suddenly received a text message from her cell phone. As soon as she took it out, she saw the message from Kendric, "Why hasn't you come back yet?"
Did she still need to go back? Hannah thought he was too cunning to come back for dinner, so he probably wouldn't go back to sleep. As a result, he still sent a message.
"Hannah, what are you thinking about? You're so absorbed in your thoughts." Lily noticed that Hannah was distracted again. She could not help but be suspicious. "What's wrong with you lately? You've always been absent-minded."
"It's okay," Hannah said, "I have to go back."
"Go back to your family?"
"Well, my father is not feeling well. I'll go back and have a look." Hannah finally came up with such a lame excuse.
Obviously, Lily had something to say, but she held it back in the end.
After all, respecting the old and loving the young was the traditional virtue of China. "James, called me if you have something to do?"
"Got it." Hannah went back to the dormitory to get the bag. Before leaving, she deliberately put the cashmere scarf into the bag.
She took a taxi to the Gold Villa by herself.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Kendric sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. Obviously, he was waiting for someone. His thin cold lips were tightly closed, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
Hannah remained calm and said while changing her shoes, "I thought you wouldn't come back tonight."
"So, you also follow your example and do whatever you want?" His tone was cold, like the weather outside wrapped in snowflakes.
Hannah grinned and said, "No, it's so cold now. I just think that it's impossible to sleep alone in such a big bed alone in the empty room, so I want to stay in the school. Look at your text message and I'll come over here obediently."
Kendric couldn't find a rebuttal for a moment.
Hannah silently made a V in her heart and walked over with a smile. Kendric stared at the bag beside her and said bulgingly, "What's in it?"
"Oh, this one." Hannah opened the bag, took out an exquisitely packed box from it, and handed it to him. "It's an engagement gift for you. It's a happy engagement."
Kendric really wanted to slap her to death. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "An engagement gift?"
"Well, this is just tomorrow. I don't know what to give you. By the way, I don't have any money. This gift was also bought with your card. You won't blame me, will you? Why don't you open it first and see if you like it or not?"
Sitting on the sofa beside him, Hannah smiled sincerely.
There was a special nickname of the men's clothing shop on the box. Kendric looked very familiar.
He slightly raised his eyebrows, took it and opened it. It was a black and white grid cashmere scarf.
He remembered that the shop assistant said that there was a scarf matching the suit that day, but it was bought by someone. Was this the so-called coincidence?
Seeing that he was thinking about something in front of the scarf, Hannah put the hair scattered on her chest behind her head and said, "You're right. It's the same as your suit. Tomorrow, you will wear that suit and this scarf to attend the engagement banquet. You'll be really cool."
Kendric's eyes fell on her face from the scarf. "You bought this scarf the day before, and what are you doing there the next day?" Kendric also saw her turn around and leave. Kendric was unusually sensitive and soon smelled something unusual.
Hannah blinked her eyes and chuckled. "I said I'm going to buy that set of clothes for you. Do you believe it?"
Kendric fixed his eyes on her. Under his aggressive gaze, Hannah felt that all her thoughts were in vain.
She became more and more guilty. "I-I'll go to the kitchen to have a glass of water." She ran away.
Kendric lowered his head and looked at the scarf again. Finally, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
When Hannah came out of the kitchen with a glass of water, she sat on the sofa.
Kendric said to her calmly, "Go with me tomorrow night."
"Puff- " She spat out a mouthful of water that she had just drunk. Then, she coughed fiercely.
In the end, his face turned red with coughing, and she could barely hold it back. Kendric looked at her disgustedly, while Hannah looked at him with horror in her eyes. "What am I going to do?"
"I'm going to kick the gym and smash the venue." Kendric seriously said.
Hannah staggered and almost fell down. She stared at Kendric with astonishment in her eyes, as if to say, "Kendric, you won't make me happy, will you?"
Kendric stood up and went back to her room. "You didn't hear me wrongly. Close your mouth and the flies will run in."
"Oh, no… no way," Hannah said. "Mister George, we've made a deal not to expose it to the public. If I go with you, I'll be recognized by others." At the thought of that possibility, Hannah felt bad all over.
"Don't you want others to know about our relationship?"
Hannah shook her head like a rattle-drum. She didn't want to. Even if she was given one million dollars, she didn't want anyone to know their relationship.
Kendric's eyes were suddenly cold. Hannah was emotional and reasonable. "In fact, this is for your own good. It doesn't matter if you are engaged to someone at all. I won't make trouble for you. You can be your bridegroom. If you really want to pay a trick, tell me, I will never hinder you." She blinked her eyes and looked at him sincerely.
Kendric sneered and said, "Hannah, I really didn't see your eloquence. It's a pity for you to be a matchmaker."
"It's okay. I'm just thinking for you. I don't want you to be impulsive and ruin a happy marriage. Besides, it's just an engagement. It's not a marriage. You won't be charged with a heavy wedding. The best thing is that many men ask for it."
"I'm not one of those men." Kendric cut off Hannah's words angrily. "You have to go if you want to go tomorrow. You have to go if you don't want to."
The hammer made the final sound. Hannah was lying on the bed, and she wished she could die like this.
The engagement of Kendric became a hot topic all of a sudden and caused a stir throughout the whole process.
All the well-known figures in Y City would be present.
"Your sister will go, and James will go too." On such an important occasion, the sister and brother of Garcia Family would definitely appear.
Thinking that once she appeared, her identity would be exposed, Hannah hoped that tomorrow's day would never be bright. But she had to do what she had to do.
There was no way to avoid it. If she stretched out her head, it would be a knife and if she shrank her head, it would be a knife.
In the morning, Kendric went to work at the company.
In the afternoon, he found Hannah and took her to a jewelry store. The brilliant diamond and the golden instrument were mixed together, giving off a noble light.
He walked to the diamond counter, but Hannah stood at the door with a reluctant look on her face. When he turned her head, Hannah roared crazily in her heart, "Oh my, tsk!"
At this time, on the road outside, there were merchants who used clowns to send balloons to recruit customers on the road. The clown's face was painted full of colorful rapeseed, and no one could see what it really was.
Kendric urged her, "Why are you still standing there? Come here quickly."
Hannah's heart sank, and a crazy idea came to her mind. She walked quickly to Kendric and asked, "Are you sure you want to take me there?"
Kendric didn't know what was wrong with this woman. Just now, she still looked reluctant, but now she was in a hurry.
"Yes."
