A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1074

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1074

Hannah was stunned. The camera wobbled on her shaky shoulder as she looked up at Fabian, who stood on the stage, waiting for his answer.

Everyone else in the audience was also taken aback by the question; gasps and countless whispers erupted from them:

“Is this true? Why didn’t I know of this?”

“Doesn’t that make her Fabian’s lover if they’re seeing each other?”

…

The sudden question had flustered Yvette. She wanted to admit their relationship, but she didn’t dare to blabber without Fabian’s consent since all of this would be published in newspapers the next day. So she narrowed her eyes at Fabian, sending him a questioning gaze.

At this, Fabian’s lips twitched into a sly smile. He stepped forward and declared to the journalists, “It’s true!”

Those words had slapped hard onto Hannah’s cheek and dulled her vision. She gripped tightly onto the camera, steadying it on her shoulder although her knees were on the brink on giving in.

You’re seeing her? Then, what does that make me? Some plaything of yours?

The journalist’s eyes widened at his answer. Uninhibited excitement flashed on his face as he eagerly followed up with another question. “Then, Mr. Norton, is your current investment because of Ms. Tanner?”

You even invested funds in her drama? I thought you attended this event simply because she invited you… Hannah brimmed with disappointment. She looked quietly at Fabian, who was still stood on the stage.

Fabian smiled at the journalist. “Both Yve and I believe that this drama will be a hit. Naturally, it’s only sensible that I invest in a valuable drama. But of course, Yve did play a part in my decision to invest.”

The journalists buzzed on the edges of their seats. They could already envision juicy titles for tomorrow’s headline: Breaking News! President of Phoenix Company Admits to Relationship With Starlett Yvette At Press Conference.

For a food-loving woman like me, there’s nothing like good pizza to solve all my problems. If that doesn’t make me feel any better, then two pizzas surely will!

There really is nothing quite as luxurious as enjoying a pizza in an air-conditioned room in such hot weather. But as she chowed down a couple of slices, bitter thoughts surfaced in her mind. Right… Fabian and I had shared a pizza the last time we were here. Just look at how he is having the time of his life with Yvette.

At this, Hannah chided herself. You’re so pathetic, Hannah! Fabian doesn’t even care about you, yet you still miss him secretly!

Ugh, forget about him! This is really stressing me out.

Loneliness overwhelmed Hannah as she finished her meal. The pizza didn’t quite improve her mood as much as she initially thought it would. Sadly, resentment still leeched onto her heart like a parasite. Since she ditched work and didn’t have to rush home, she decided to go shopping instead. After all, one mustn’t set themselves up for torment, right?

I don’t need you to love me, Fabian. I’ll love myself and that’ll be just fine.

Hannah hadn’t been out to shop ever since she and Fabian got married because he often had items delivered to their doorstep. However, the circumstances this time were different. She shopped as if she had been transported back to her high school days of scavenging through sales racks, snacking on popsicles whilst hopping from shop to shop for clothes and accessories that she liked, then heading home with arms full of bags.
