A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1051

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1051

Instantly, Hannah saw a ray of light at the end of the tunnel, and she almost fell to her knees in gratitude.

Well? Answer the phone! Hurry up and take the call! She had already figured out a superb plan – The moment he takes the call, I’ll leap up and sprint out, asking the nurse to examine me. Then, I’ll be able to escape him!

As Fabian answered the phone unhurriedly, his voice was tinged with a trace of ire though his face remained devoid of expression. “You’d better give me a reasonable explanation for your call. Otherwise, don’t blame me for showing you no mercy.”

Although his voice was mild, it gave his assistant tremendous pressure. After all, the phone call was from none other than his assistant.

“Mr. Norton… it’s Wesley Xenakis’ wife. She said she has an appointment with you and wishes to bring it forward. The time is rather rushed, so I called you right away,” the assistant on the other end answered timidly while a touch bewildered.

Inwardly, he lamented, Who on earth provoked him that I’m now dragged into the mess as well?

Seizing the opportunity while Fabian was on the phone, Hannah hastily retracted her petite hands. Then, she swiftly flipped over and crawled toward the edge of the bed.

Fabian ignored Hannah, who was making her escape, despite staring at her intently. His voice wintry, he demanded, “What time does she want to meet?”

At his question, his assistant hurriedly replied, afraid that he would blow his top, “Two o’clock in the afternoon.”

Meanwhile, Hannah had crawled down the bed and was making a mad dash toward the door.

“Inform her that I’ll be there at two o’clock in the afternoon.” After hanging up, Fabian turned around and searched for Hannah. In an instant, he spotted her creeping forward with her eyes fixed on her bra on the ground.

I’ve done it! I’m just a step away from success! At the sight of her bra a near distance away, jubilance flooded her. But just when she was about to reach out and snag it, she abruptly glimpsed a pair of male feet right before her.

As she pinned her gaze on Fabian, who was much taller than her and was seemingly putting her in an awkward position on purpose, she had no intention of admitting defeat. Resentfully lifting herself on tiptoes, she pecked his thin lips before dipping her head in abashment and muttering in a mere whisper, “Please have mercy on me, Hubby. Okay?”

Fabian, on the other hand, luxuriated in her pleading. After a while, he then proclaimed in a high-handed manner, “Alright. Since you begged me, I’ll let you off this time.”

The moment his words fell, Hannah breathed a sigh of relief even as she touched her burning cheeks. I can’t believe I actually said that!

Subsequently, Fabian leaned down and picked her bra up from the ground before handing it to her.

When Hannah noticed him handing the bra to her, her face flamed an even brighter shade of red. Not daring to look him in the eye, she hastily snatched it out of his hand and raced to the washroom before slamming the door shut with a thud.

Conversely, Fabian wasn’t at all bothered. Rather, he inwardly scoffed, Why the extreme reaction when I’ve already seen you in your birthday suit? Thereafter, he went over to the bathroom and spoke in a voice that would penetrate through the door, saying, “Later, go down and have a stroll by yourself. I’ve got something to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”
