Chapter 1399
The more Hannah thought about it, the more pumped she got. Steven was all cozy with his crush every day, so why
couldn’t she find a guy who wasn’t him? She was gonna find a new boyfriend to show off to Steven.
She said with a chuckle, “Sure thing. Let’s get this show on the road. I’m not scared at all.”
Cornelia, worried about Hannah getting hurt again, quickly intervened, “Hannah, love isn’t a game. You can’t just
make decisions on a whim. You gotta think things through.”
To everyone’s surprise, Jarvis stood up, wrapped his arm around Hannah’s waist and said to Cornelia, “Cornelia,
you’re kinda an outsider to us now. You don’t need to worry about what’s happening between Hannah and me.”
Cornelia knew he was just trying to get a rise out of her, so she ignored him, “Hannah.”
Hannah moved Jarvis’ hand from her waist, “Nelly, don’t sweat it. I’m just going casual with him.”
Just going casual. Hearing this, Jarvis chuckled, “I’m serious, but Ms. Hannah here is just going casual with me, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtisn’t afraid to say it outright. Aren’t you worried about breaking my heart?”
Hannah shot back, “Why are you acting? Your acting skills are so poor, it’s obvious you’re faking it.”
Jarvis responded, “Alright, no more pretending then. Let’s have dinner tonight, and then head to a hotel to cultivate
some feelings.”
Hannah laughed, “We haven’t even started dating. Are you in such a hurry to sleep with me?”
Jarvis responded, “You’re the one who wants to play. I’m just playing along.”
Hannah shot back, “When I say dating, I mean dating like a normal couple, not heading straight to a hotel. Is that
what you call dating?”
Jarvis responded, “Young people these days are all about efficiency and speed. Who has the time for a year-long
courtship without even holding hands?”
Hannah said, “If you can’t handle it, we should break up.”
Jarvis retorted, “Are you trying to set a world record for the fastest breakup?”
Hannah asked, “Does Guinness have such a record?”
Jarvis was silent.
Hannah asked, “Why are you quiet now?”
Jarvis responded, “I just want to date you.”
Jarvis initially wanted to get Cornelia’s attention, but now he was genuinely interested in Hannah. He wanted to see
how this woman was going to play with him. Maybe she was like many other girls, trying to attract his attention and
playing hard to get.
Hannah said, “If we’re gonna date, then listen up. Forget about dinner tonight, I have a night shoot and need to
maintain my figure. I’ll treat you to lunch tomorrow.”
Jarvis checked his watch, “I’m heading back to the capital soon, won’t be able to come to Harbor City for a while.”
Hannah said, “We should exchange contact info then. We’ll get in touch when we’re free.”
Jarvis took out his phone, and they added each other on Facebook, “Let’s chat on Messenger first. We’ll set up a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdate when we’re both free.”
Hannah said, “Sounds good.”
Jarvis put away his phone and glanced at Cornelia, “Are you heading back to the Capital?”
Cornelia said, “I’m planning on going back to Riverton.”
With a hint of frustration, Jarvis asked, “What exactly do you see in that guy? What qualities does he have that
make you like him so much?”
Cornelia totorted, “I can’t even remember you, yet you’ve been in love with me for years. What’s so good about
me?”
Jarvis said, “To me, everything about you is good.”
Cornelia remained silent.
Hannah cut in, “Cough, cough, you’re my boyfriend now, can you not compliment other girls in front of me?”
Jarvis chuckled, “Alright. I gotta go. We’ll keep in touch.”
Hannah walked him to the door, “See yo.”
After seeing Jarvis off, Hannah went back to Cornelia’s bedside.
