Chapter 549 How Dare You
"She misunderstood," Hank explained as he pulled his arm away from Cecelia and looked Yelena in the
eyes. "I explained it to her clearly. There is no need to continue with the acting."
Cecelia was just about to squeeze out some crocodile tears but had to retract them upon hearing that.
Immediately, she pouted her lips. "Why didn't you say it earlier? I even had to pinch myself to squeeze
out some tears. Don't you know that it hurts?"
However, Hank did not feel guilty at all. "Well, you didn't give me a chance to speak the moment you
entered. You have been rambling about your sperm supplier."
Sperm supplier? Yelena shivered and looked at Cecelia with a strange look. Cecelia only realized that
Yelena must have misunderstood Hank's meaning after pondering on her expression for a few seconds
and immediately explained, "It's not what you think it is. Hank meant the father of my child!"
"The father of your child... You mean you're pregnant?" Yelena instinctively repeated her sentence, and
a few seconds later, she pointed at Cecelia's belly and asked in a trembling voice.
"Yeah, it's normal nowadays to be sleeping with your partner, isn't it? Or are you implying that you and
Hank have yet to develop to that stage? Hank might look cowardly and is a pure and innocent little
virgin but don't underestimate him just because he looks average and has never even dated before.
After all, he threw away piles of love letters like trash. So, it's normal that he doesn't have any
experience in that matter."
Cecelia patted Yelena's shoulder with a solemn look. "You shouldn't abandon him just because he's a
virgin. He can still be trained."
Yelena glanced at Hank, leaving aside the fact that he had never dated before… She thought that it
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas a miracle that someone had the guts to write him a love letter because he always looked like
someone owed him a lot of money.
"Stop worrying about others and mind your own business first," he lashed out at Cecelia without having
a single regard for the friendship. Only then did Yelena realize why Hank commented so confidently
that he and Cecelia did not like each other and that any potential possibility of them eventually being
together was laughable.
Alas, Yelena also did not expect that she needed to play the role of peacemaker at this moment. She
pulled Hank's sleeve to signal him not to add fuel to the fire and then smiled to appease the about-to-
explode Cecelia, "Okay, don't fight. Cecelia, you have a baby in your belly. You shouldn't get too riled
up."
Cecelia nodded upon hearing Yelena's words and held her arm while she looked at Yelena
sympathetically.
"Yelena, you're such a cute girl. I just don't understand how you could be with Hank. I don't think he's
good enough for you. Why don't you break up with him, and I'll find you someone better? I met so many
handsome guys when I was studying abroad. Let me bring you to see the world."
Hank instantly pulled Yelena behind him as if he was trying to shield her from Cecelia. His eyes
darkened, and his tone became angry. "Cecelia, why don't you find yourself a knight in shining armor
instead of meddling in other people's relationships?"
Cecelia no longer felt like messing around after getting reprimanded by him. So, she tossed away her
phone in boredom. "Fine, then. Remember to protect your little sweetheart. You better watch out before
someone else tries to pry her away from you since she's so cute."
"Mind your own business."
At that moment, Yelena noticed a figure walking toward the door and knew that it was an excellent
opportunity to get the two's attention away from fighting each other again. So, she shook Hank's arm.
"We have a guest coming."
He narrowed his eyes as he turned to look at the person at the door.
It was a slender man dressed in a suit who exuded an aristocratic aura that made people hesitate to
gaze at him casually. He was extremely handsome, with a high nose bridge and a pair of narrow black
eyes with a deep gaze. He was wearing a polite smile on his face but ceased doing that when he saw
Cecelia.
Nonetheless, he did not rush to speak but waited for Cecelia to notice him and speak first. As soon as
Cecelia saw him, her body stiffened, and she instinctively wanted to cover her belly with her hands.
Regardless, after a split second, she realized that she was only two months pregnant and her
pregnancy was not showing yet. This thought immediately eased her worry.
"Why are you here?" Cecelia's tone was unfriendly, a far cry from her lively and bright self just now.
Still, the man seemed familiar with her attitude and did not show an ounce of displeasure at her tone.
Instead, he asked, "Where are you planning to run away to?"
"What do you mean? Running away? I merely returned to my own country. We have nothing to do with
each other. So, what's your problem?" She crossed her arms, trying to look more imposing.
"Of course, there's no problem. But you're wrong about one thing. We are in a serious relationship." He
leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice a bit but loud enough for everyone around to hear him
clearly.
Cecelia responded by taking a step back and approaching Hank while secretly throwing a soothing look
at Yelena as she held his hand.
"Nonsense. I already have a fiancé, and we're about to get engaged. You better show some respect."
She secretly pinched Hank's palm, signaling him to play along.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHank did not say anything but carefully looked at the man in front of him; he felt intense hostility and
killing intent from the seemingly gentle man. Well, it seemed that Cecelia had accumulated quite some
love debt abroad.
Regardless, Hank slowly extended his right hand and said politely, "Nice to meet you." He neither
admitted nor denied anything to lure the man in front of him to second-guess their relationship.
The man did not back down or intentionally make things difficult for him. Instead, he simply shook
Hank's hand and introduced himself, "Nice to meet you too, Hank. My name is Yozan Harley."
Hank was taken aback by the name as it signified that the man had a considerable background.
The Harley Family was the best in the business circle, and the Damazios had both political and
commercial connections with them. It would be an issue if the Damazios offended the Harley Family.
Hank could feel a headache as he thought about this. He regretted asking Cecelia to help him in the
first place because now he had to clean up after her mess.
"Baby, didn't you say you wanted to take me out on a date? Are we getting Japanese or French?" The
word 'baby' made Hank uneasy as he felt goosebumps appearing on his skin.
He was unafraid of revenge from the Harley Family, but he could not stand the overly sweet nickname.
He shot a glance at Yelena, worried that she might be a little jealous, but to his amazement, she had
already sat down at some point. She was also enthusiastically watching the drama unfolding before her
eyes.
Yozan could not be easily fooled. He stared at Cecelia intensely, and this made her feel uncomfortable.
"Baby?"
"Is there a problem? We call each other baby all the time as we are a couple," she retorted and stood
even closer to Hank. "If there's nothing else, return to Serna and stop bothering us."
Yozan chuckled at those words. "Did I spoil you so badly that you dare to say such things to my face?
Should I punish you for dating another man behind my back or for lying to me?" He stepped closer,
creating an oppressive atmosphere.
