Chapter 176

Manny was discussing the next step of the plan with Kendric when he saw the door of the study was suddenly opened.
A young girl in a white sweater and jeans appeared in the camera with naughty smile. "Honey, it's time to have lunch."
Hannah thought that he must be working in the study. She knocked on the door symbolically and opened it without his permission.
Unexpectedly, he was on the video. On cam, a handsome man was so eye-catching. He was totally different from Kendric. His delicate facial features could be regarded as beautiful, but they were not feminine at all. On the contrary, they were fascinating and amazing.
She was stunned for a moment, and Manny also raised his eyebrows and looked at this Hannah. He had always had excellent hearing, so he had a good hearing.
But it was exactly the soft voice of Hannah.
"Honey? Oh, I seem to have found some great secrets." Manny smiled at him.
"It's none of your business." Kendric cut off the video call and walked to Hannah, waving his hand. "Soul reaper."
Hannah was stunned on the spot. Under his cold gaze, she blushed quickly, lowered her head, stared at her toes and swung them back and forth.
She said apologetically, "Ermm… did I disturb you? I'm here to invite you for dinner."
"Let's eat. Why are you blushing?" It seemed that the white skin was covered with a layer of rouge in an instant. It was white and red, sweet and attractive, but it was because of seeing another man.
"Hannah, what's wrong with you?" Kendric frowned.
"Hey? What's wrong? I'm not wrong." It seemed that she couldn't keep up with Kendric's shocking jumping train of thought. Hannah's expression looked silly.
Kendric went to the kitchen and Hannah followed him. Three dishes and one soup had already been placed on the table. It was steaming hot, showing that he had just sat on the table.
He couldn't help but feel jealous. "Look at a man, his face is red and his heart is beating fast. What's not his illness?"
She didn't know what to say.
Seeing that she acquiesced in it, Kendric frowned even more tightly. This woman was getting more and more afraid of him and looked down upon him more and more, wasn't she?
Hannah handed him the rice and saw his unhappy face, but she smiled brightly. She put the bowl in front of him and reminded him, "What are you doing? Why don't you eat it? Are you angry?"
She took a bite of rice with chopsticks, and Kendric also picked up the chopsticks, but did not talk to her. Well, she was still enthusiastic last night, but now she became cold.
Who said that a woman's heart was pricked by a needle? Obviously, a man was more unpredictable than a woman, okay?
Hannah took a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs from the plate and put it in his bowl. "Eat more. Let's see if the vinegar is enough. Would you like to put a little more in?"
Kendric was not a fool. How could he not recognize the meaning behind her words? He rolled his eyes. Holding his bowl, Hannah took a sip of rice at his handsome face and said, "Didn't I blush at other men just now?"
She just didn't know that he was in the video, but without any preparation, his friend saw her and she said, "I was just afraid of leaving a bad impression on him, although he is really handsome."
The first half of the sentence was right, but the second half…
Seeing that Kendric's face became gloomy again, Hannah hurriedly added, "Of course, I don't like those thin and sick men. I feel like I don't have any strength at all, and I need to protect him in return. Just look at my face. Other things can't be compared with my husband's. Come on, eat more vegetables, don't eat ribs, it's not good to be jealous."
Hannah said a lot of things in a roundabout way and finally expressed her meaning openly and indirectly. Seeing Kendric's face finally relaxed, Hannah felt very happy and her illness seemed to have been recovered a lot.
"Sure enough, people are in good mood when it comes to good things."
The atmosphere was very good. If there was no mobile phone to disturb, it should be more perfect.
Fortunately, she had almost finished her meal. Kendric's cell phone had just rang, otherwise, it would be much more beautiful.
Hannah stood up and packed up. Kendric answered the phone and said a few words. Then he stood up and went out.
Hannah was stunned and couldn't help but take two steps forward. She wanted to say something but stopped on the edge of the table.
It was the same when he watched the movie last time. Without any explanation, he left in a hurry. Was in the same this time?
Kendric stood by the door and changed his shoes. When he saw Hannah biting her lower lip at the table, he paused and said to her, "Something happened to Farah. I'll go back and have a look."
It turned out to be about Farah. For some unknown reason, Hannah suddenly felt relieved. The smile on her face was embarrassed and a little uncomfortable. She was the one who took the heart of a gentleman as a villain, wasn't she?
She said, "Oh, then you should pay attention to yourself. I'll wash the dishes."
She hid in the kitchen and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of closing the door from outside.
But she deeply realized that her feelings for Kendric seemed to have unconsciously developed an unknown chemical reaction.
Did he care?
She was not sure, but there was a voice in the bottom of her heart reminding her that it was. Otherwise, how could she be depressed all the way back because of his departure?
And she was sad because she was almost driven out by him, but now she was happy because of his appearance.
After washing the dishes and cleaning the living room with a rag, her cell phone rang on the tea table.
It was Lily who called. She picked up the phone with her ear and kept wiping the table. "Hello Lily."
"Hannah, where are you?" Lily sounded a little anxious.
Hannah's hand that was wiping the table slowed down. She said with concern, "Why? What's wrong?"
"There's a woman in the dorm. She said she wanted to see you. If you don't want to see her, she won't leave. What should we do?"
"Who is it?" Hannah frowned.
On the other side of Lily, Kevin Jang's mother was anxious to make a gesture to ask Lily to hand her the mobile phone. She wanted to talk to Hannah in person.
Hannah didn't expect that Mrs. Jang would come to find her in the school's dormitory.
In the past, Mrs. Jang really liked her very much, but since she knew the status of her family, her feelings for her had fallen dramatically. Therefore, Hannah understood that what she liked was only the status of being superior to others.
She was already prepared, but when she returned to the dormitory, she saw Mrs. Jang sitting in her seat with a smile and giving her a lot of food.
Hannah looked even more like facing a formidable enemy. She frowned and looked at Mrs. Jang. "Auntie, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. I came to see you on purpose." Mrs. Jang took her hand affectionately, but Hannah felt that a poisonous snake was eyeing her.
She pulled out her hand and chuckled. "Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. If you have anything to say to me, just tell me."
Lily saw that Hannah was unhappy, so she immediately approached them and agreed. "Yes, Auntie, we'll have to go out together later. You can talk about it. If there's nothing else, you can leave now. We'll go out too."
This person was Kevin Jang's mother. Lily knew exactly what kind of person she was. If she hadn't said that she wouldn't leave if she couldn't see Hannah, she would have been driven out by Lily. So Lily's words at this moment were so strange.
"I'm going out to eat. Where do I want to go? I'll treat you." Mrs. Jang smiled. If she hadn't know her true face, she might have deceived her.
Hannah didn't like her attitude of changing in exchange, so she took a step back and said, "No need. Let's eat in the cafeteria. If you have nothing to do, we will go out. If you are willing to sit, you can sit for a while."
The clear attitude of Anne made Mrs. Jang unhappy. She had always been the only one who was picky about Hannah. When was it Hannah's turn to be picky about her?
But when she thought of her son's current state, she could only bite her teeth and swallow her blood.
