Chapter 867 Darling
Having thought that it was just a casual meal, Donald was surprised when Hannah insisted that he dressed up
before allowing him to leave home.
When he went downstairs, he realized that Jennifer and Geraldine were not in the mansion.
“Are the other two not at home?”
While fixing the accessory on her head, Jennifer replied, “Nope. Jennifer had to go to the office for an emergency,
so she took Geraldine with her.”
Donald's lips twitched when he realized he had been tricked.
If I had known Jennifer wasn't at home, I wouldn't have given in so easily. I could've let Hannah lie down on my bed
for as long as she wanted.
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now.
After Hannah got Donald to bring the car out of the garage, both of them headed toward Dickson International

The moment Donald alighted from the car, Hannah came over and naturally took his hand.
Donald was momentarily stunned. He attempted to pull his arm away, but Hannah maintained a death grip on it.
“Have you forgotten our agreement? As long as you play along today, I won't bother you for a month.”
“You only said that you wanted me to accompany you to a meal. You didn't mention anything about putting on an
act with you.”
“Did I not?” Hannah blinked cheekily. “In that case, I'll tell you about it now. You're going to play along with me and
put on a full show, or I'll annoy you relentlessly for the entire month.”
Seeing that Hannah wasn't giving him any choice, Donald decided to get serious.
Fine. Since you want to play tough, I'll play tough.
He wrapped his arm around Hannah's waist, causing her to shudder and give him a look of disbelief.
He even pinched her on the waist. “Didn't you say that we should put on a full show? So, work with me now.”
Hannah blushed as she felt her knees go weak. She entered the private room in Donald's arms.
The instant they opened the door and walked in, Hannah's mother, Monica Langdon, and the blind date she
brought, Alistair Jamesworth, froze.
“Hannah! What are the two of you doing? Why are you hugging each other? Let go at once!”
As Hannah still respected her mother, she attempted to separate herself from Donald after being yelled at.
Little did she expect Donald to forcefully pull her back into his arms.
In a gracious tone, Donald said to Monica, “I suppose you're my mother-in-law. Let me introduce myself. I'm Donald
Campbell, your daughter's husband.”
H-Husband?
Monica gaped at them from the shock, while Hannah was so embarrassed that she wished the ground could
swallow her whole. Donald must be doing this on purpose to embarrass me!
Monica was outraged by Donald's introduction.
She pointed at Donald and shouted, “Where the hell did you come from? Hanny is an exceptional girl and highly
educated. What makes you think you're worthy of becoming her husband? Get your filthy hands off my daughter, or

When he saw how emotional Monica was, Donald figured that he should not overdo his act.
He released Hannah and commented with a shrug, “Darling, you didn't tell me that your mom has a bad temper.
She scares me.”
Darling?
Monica held her chest and was on the verge of fainting from anger.
“Mom, calm down. Donald, zip your mouth!” Hannah hurriedly said.
After flashing an okay sign in response, Donald sat down and took the initiative to chat with Alistair.
“Bro, what's your name?”
From Alistair's furrowed brows, it was clear that he disliked Donald's behavior.
In spite of that, he maintained a gracious front. “I'm Alistair Jamesworth.”
“So, what do you do?”
“I'm in finance.”
The answer intrigued Donald at once.
“It's a good industry to be in. One can make easy money there.”
