Chapter 1502
Dales blurted out again, “My kid’s been slacking off in class, can’t do his math homework, and when Farley gets
home, would it be cool for my kid to swing by for some tutoring?”
Everyone in the village knew that Farley had a mind of his own, but when Hannah beckoned, he jumped. If Hannah
told him to go west, he wouldn’t dare head east.
Hannah responded, “Dales, that’s Farley’s call to make, not mine. When Farley gets home, I’ll clue him in, and if
he’s down for it, I’ll send him your way for tutoring.”
Without a definite answer, Dales was a little bummed out. “Well, that’s alright.” Farley was a hotshot student in the

would be a great influence on the other kids.
After Dales took off, Jarvis cracked a smile. “Hannah, let’s hit the road.”
“Alright.” Hannah turned to Steven. “Put me down, I can walk.”
Without a word, Steven carried her to the dock, and climbed up the steps, and only when they reached the flat road
did he set her down. “Don’t overdo it.”e2
Hannah immediately took two steps to the side. “Jarvis, give me a hand.”
Jarvis stepped forward right away. “President Dixon, you’re not thinking of punching me, are you?”
Steven indeed had that thought, but he held it back. Hannah didn’t recognize him now. All he could do was bear it.
When they got home, Hannah’s parents had just returned. They had never met Jarvis and didn’t even know it was
Jarvis who was driving when Hannah had her accident.
Pandora was sharper than Jeo. “Hannah, who’s this?”
Hannah quickly introduced him, “Mom, Dad, meet Jarvis, my boyfriend. We’ve been dating for a while.”
Since Steven was still around, Hannah had to say it that way. She didn’t give her parents time to digest the news,
she just nudged Jeo to look at the fish in the yard. “Dad, I told Jarvis we’re having grilled fish tonight, you gotta put
on a good show for your future son-in-law.”
Jeo instinctively glanced at Steven. Just as expected, Steven’s usual smile was gone, his face as grim as a demon
straight from hell. Terrifying!
Jeo whispered, “Hannah, is that lad Jarvis really your boyfriend? What about Steven…
Hannah shot back, “Dad, do you like him?”

you well.”
Hannah said, “He does treat me well.”
Jeo sneaked a peek at Jarvis, who was chatting with Pandora, and had her bursting with laughter. “He looks loaded,
would his parents object to your relationship?”, Jeo didn’t want Hannah to go through the same heartbreak again,
Hannah said, “He’s just my boyfriend, we haven’t decided on tying the knot. We’re not at the meet-the-parents
stage yet, you don’t need to worry.”
Jeo said, “Your boyfriend came out of nowhere, and caught me off guard.”
The most significant part was her ex-husband was also here. It was a real sticky wicket. Jeo didn’t know how to
handle this situation.
