NovelEnglishChapter 875
This statement was directed at Kennedy, but Hannah was actually indirectly rejecting Noah.
Noah's expression slightly changed. Kennedy was adept at reading between the lines and quickly chimed in,
“Hannah, getting engaged doesn’t mean you have to get married right away. You can engage and date first.
Whenever you both feel ready, then you can tie the knot. It won't disturb anything.”
“But | don’t want to date,” she said firmly. “There’s been too much in the past year. | really don’t have the
energy for it. Right now, | just want to focus on my work and be a good successor to the Moore Group.”
With that, she turned and headed upstairs, leaving the living room without looking back.
As the sound of the bedroom door closing faintly echoed from upstairs, the living room fell silent once again.
Kennedy and Vanessa exchanged glances before turning to Noah.
Noah lowered his gaze, seemingly lost in thought, his emotions unreadable.
Vanessa cautiously probed, “Mr. Noah, do you like Hannah?”
“Yes,” Noah's tone was soft as he replied, “but my previous actions hurt her. | definitely understand why she
doesn’t accept me.”

Vanessa continued, “We've spoiled Hannah, and she’s quite stubborn. If you genuinely like her and want to be
with her, | can try to help you persuade her.”
Noah gave it sthought but ultimately felt embarrassed to inconvenience them further.
“It’s better not to. This is between the two of us. If you try to persuade her, it might make her more resistant to
me. If she’s not ready to get engaged, | can wait. She pursuedfor a year before, so | can wait for her for a
year.”
With Noah's words, both Vanessa and Kennedy felt relieved.
“Mr. Noah, don’t worry. | won't try to persuade her directly, but | can help create opportunities for you to spend
ttogether.”
Noah looked up and met her gaze..
This time, he did not refuse.
Several hours later, Vanessa knocked on Hannah's door,
“Sweetie, it's tfor dinner. Hurry up. Everyone's waiting for you.”
“Got it.”

Hannah sat at her computer, finishing the last sentence of her project plan. She rubbed her sore shoulders and
got up to head downstairs.
She did not notice anything unusual until she reached the dining room.
Only Noah was sitting alone at the long dining table, and Vanessa and Kennedy were nowhere to be
seen.
Moreover, the table was adorned with lit red candles.
It was obviously intentional, trying to create a candlelit dinner opportunity for her and Noah.
Hannah could not help but think her parents must be really bored.
She shook her head in resignation and decisively turned away.
As she was about to leave, Noah immediately got up, grabbing her wrist in time.
“Hannah, I'm sure you can tell your parents’ effort. Can we talk?”
Hannah's expression remains blank, replying, “We don’t have anything to talk about.”

She tried to leave, but Noah's grip on her wrist tightened.
Noah looked at their hands, smiling faintly.
“When you cto Svelton General Hospital to say goodbye, I noticed you were upset. | wanted to reach out
and comfort you, but I couldn't muster the courage. This time, I'm glad I didn’t let go of your hand.”
Hannah sighed. “Isn't it too late to say this now?”
Noah straightened her posture, making her look at him, and said earnestly, “Patrick is not a good man. | helped
you cancel your forced engagement. Now you can choose your partner freely. Isn't that good?”
His words struck a nerve with her.
“Noah, did you deliberately let the police bring Patrick to the Moore mansion to hear those sarcastic remarks
about me? Did you want to seeembarrassed? To makerealize that no other man is interested inapart
from you? That I, as the Moore family’s heiress, am worthless?”
As she accused him, tears started to fall.
In her professional life, Hannah had always maintained a firm and assertive image to avoid being. taken
advantage of.
Over time, her personality had becstronger.
Today's events deeply affected her, especially being belittled by Patrick in front of Noah.
