Chapter 1537
Steven looked at her, “Lift your head and look at me.”
Hannah lifted her gaze, glancing left and right, but unwilling to meet his eyes.
Steven reached out, gently tilting her chin upward, “Hannah. Look at me.”
“What’s so special about your face that I don’t already know? What’s there to see?” Hannah retorted, still refusing
to look at him.
Or perhaps it wasn’t that she didn’t want to, she was just too afraid. She feared falling for him again just because of
one look.
Steven, unable to get through to her, decided to change the subject, “That stalker fan of yours won’t bother you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtagain, you can relax.”
“Thanks.” Hannah looked at her hands, “If there’s nothing else, I should get back to my car.”e2
Steven watched her, his voice low, “Hannah, don’t you want to know why I’m here?”
Hannah said, “No.”
When Steven didn’t reply, Hannah continued, “If you’re not going to tell me, I’m leaving.”
Steven said, “I flew all the way from Harbor City just to see you. After landing, Rick drove me straight to the
supermarket where your family shops, then we followed your car, ending up stuck on the freeway with you.”
Hannah nonchalantly responded with an “Oh,” since it was what she had guessed.
Steven asked, “Oh? Is there anything else you want to say to me?”
Hannah retorted, “What do you want me to say?”
Steven fought the urge to pull her into his arms, “Hannah, I know you don’t want to see me, and you don’t want me
to find you, but I can’t control how much I miss you. You have no idea, these past few months, every time I close
my eyes, all I see is you. I miss you to the point of madness.”
Hannah was stunned. ‘Cause she missed him as well.
Steven grabbed Hannah’s hand desperately, “Hannah, give me another chance, okay? A chance to win your love.
You don’t have to accept my pursuit, but you can’t deny me the opportunity to try.”
Steven’s sudden and intense move caught Hannah off guard. She tried to retreat back into her shell, “My parents
might be waking up. I should go.” Steven tried to stop her, instinctively reaching out to grab her. But just as he was
about to catch her, he saw the wounds on her wrist and immediately pulled back. He couldn’t bear to cause her any
more pain. So he followed her out of the car, “Everyone is getting out to stretch their legs. It looks like we won’t be
going anywhere for a while. It’s getting dark, and I don’t have any food in my car.”

Steven hated having food in his car, especially when someone ate in his presence. His quirks were well known to
Hannah. Without him saying a word, she knew he had no food. She gave him a look, didn’t say a word, and walked
away.
Back in her car, Hannah saw Pandora still sound asleep. Jeo was snoring with his head on the steering wheel, and
Farley engrossed in his video game. Hannah nudged him, “You’re about to take the SATs, and all you do is play video
games.”
Farley said, “I got the highest score in the school. If I don’t play video games, I’ll get bored with no room for
progress.”
Hannah was speechless. What could she do? This kid was a natural scholar. While other parents spent a fortune on
tutoring and enrichment classes, they never spent an extra dime on him. Despite not studying too hard, he still
managed to top the class.
Farley said, “Don’t worry, I have my own study plan. Combining work and play improves efficiency.”
The main reason for his academic success was his self-discipline.
