The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

You can doubt him, but I have the right not to believe it.

Hannah continued, I may not know him very well, but Ive met him a few times.

He seems more like a child-innocent and not at all scheming or malicious.

Remington didnt respond; he simply gazed out the window, deep in thought.

Hannah stood up and said to Remington, I wont stay long.

My father is still waiting for me at the hospital, so I wont take your time anymore.

Just as she was about to leave, Remingtons voice called out from behind her.

Youre quite protective of him.

Hannah grasped the doorknob and turned to Remington. Regardless, he treats me like an older sister.

I have every reason to believe he wouldnt do something like that.

After Hannah left, Remingtons expression grew somber.

As Hannah walked downstairs and approached Peterson, she recalled what Remington had said to her.

She lowered her eyes and gently ruffled his hair.

When Im not busy, Ill make sure to keep my promise and take you out to dinner.

Okay! Sitting in his wheelchair, Peterson looked up at her with bright, eager eyes.

Hannah advised, Dont cause trouble before I come, or I wont take you out.

Dont worry, Hannah! Ill definitely be good and wait for you! Peterson promised.

Hannah smiled with satisfaction.

She and Maloney walked out of the villa effortlessly, accompanied by Leif.

Sitting in the front seat of the car, Leif muttered impatiently, I drove here alone! Why should I get back with you? Then feel free to get out of the car and go back in yours, Maloney snapped coldly as he settled in the back seat.

Hannah chuckled and said, If you didnt want to be with us, why did you hop in the car? Oh, I forgot! Hannah smiled playfully and said, The car you arrived in broke down.

Im afraid you wont be able to leave until its repaired.

Just as Leif was about to respond, Hannah added, What a pity.

The Lyons family only invited Maloney.

They wont let you stay in the manor for another day.

My fiance is being generous by allowing you to ride in the car. Otherwise, wed leave you in the manor and wait for your father to send a car for you.

By then, it would probably be evening.

Leifs anger boiled over, his chest rising and falling with each frustrated breath.

Speechless, he turned away and sulked in the passenger seat, seething silently.

Maloney gave her a silent thumbs up.

Youre so eloquent.

You just keep getting better! Thank you for the compliment.

Hannah was already in a foul mood from the events at the manor, and she wasnt about to be polite to Leif after his misbehavior.

Glancing at his phone, Maloney frowned and turned it toward Hannah.noveldrama
