After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 33

The Hannah of the past always prioritized Charles in whatever situation.

She naively thought that this was how a husband and wife would communicate with each other.

She thought that by respecting him, he would reciprocate too.

Only in this life that she knew that it wouldn’t happen.

Some people would only want a mile if an inch was given.

Charles still remained silent with a cold, hard face.

Based on how Hannah was behaving all the while, as long as he was throwing some tantrum, she would suck up to him and shower him with consoles. Now, he was waiting for Hannah to soften her stance too.

However, Hannah suddenly said, “If that’s the case, then I think we should call off our wedding.”

Charles stared at Hannah starkly.

He never thought that Hannah would bring up the idea of not marrying again.

Hannah seemed oblivious to Charles’s emotion as she continued, “A marriage is a tie between two families. I don’t want my addition to your family to cause much misery to all of you. I have accidentally stepped on Martina’s dress today and caused her to lose face in such an important event, so she must hate me very much.”

“Hannah, you were never like this in the past. You won’t keep bringing up the idea of calling off our marriage.” Charles’s tone indicated that his mood was turning sour.

However, Hannah was threatening him with the “marriage” matter again, so he had no choice but to swallow his frustrations.

“I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that your family don’t like me a lot.” Hannah muttered.

“Why do you think that? My parents like you very much. Can’t you feel that?” Charles was very agitated.

Hannah didn’t answer him.

Charles tried to be patient, “Be a good girl and don’t think too much, will you? My parents really fancy you. My sister might be a little childish but she really sees you as one of her own.”

“Is that so?” Hannah asked incredulously.

“Stupid. Even if you don’t trust my parents, you should at least trust me. We have been together for so many years, and when have I ever lied to you?” Charles pretended to be angry as he said that.

When had he not lied to her?

However, the current Hannah was able to face Charles with certain calmness.

She could face all of his fake pretence without flinching one bit.

“Don’t ever say that you don’t want to marry anymore. It hurt my heart.” Charles reached out and pulled Hannah into his embrace.

Hannah tried to hold off her sense of disgust as she laid into his arms.

At that moment, the two of them had different train of thoughts in their heads.

Charles was thinking how Hannah had made him lose face recently. When Hannah was married into his family, he would make sure to let her know how he was going to torture her!

On the other hand, Hannah was wondering how long she was going to continue this act with Charles.

She couldn’t help but admit that being in Charles’s arm like this right now made her want to puke.

And the two of them were hugging together for a long time.

Charles seemed to have calm down a little as he slowly let go of Hannah.

When Hannah saw his face after he let go, all she could see was a very mellow and gentle face.

Truth to be told, she was actually impressed by Charles.

After all, most of the time when she was putting on an act whenever she was with him, she would fail to see through her acting to the end.

For Charles though, everything came naturally to him.

“Let’s go back to the hall. As the host, you can’t dismiss yourself from entertaining the guests.” Charles said with concern.

When Hannah nodded, her eyes trembled for a moment.

She saw Jane glaring at her furiously as she emerged from the hall.

Hannah suddenly wrapped her arms around Charles’s neck.

Charles was caught off guard, as it was very rare for Hannah to do something like that out of her own will.

Charles himself didn’t so much as take the initiative to establish skin ship too.

In his opinion, Hannah who was a boring woman couldn’t exert any pull on him no matter how pretty she looked. He always loved wild, sexy… and even violent girls.

Therefore, he was always polite and careful around Hannah, but that was just him being himself because he didn’t have an interest in her.

And in his head, he thought that a woman like Hannah would think that his placing a certain distance between themselves must be his way of loving her.

However, at this moment, Hannah’s sudden aggressive move somehow touched his heart.

Hannah pecked at his check, and she was doing this with the utmost sensuality.

Charles couldn’t help lifting the corner of his lips, “Hannah, I can’t believe that you are kissing me now.”

It’s not like they never kissed, but he was the one who made the move every time.

And every time, he would just peck at her. Nothing more.

“I am apologizing for what happened today. I have caused your sister to be embarrassed in public.” Hannah looked a little shy, “Don’t you love me doing this?”

“How can that be? Even if you just touch my chest, my heart would be racing too.” Charles took her hand and placed it on his chest.

His heart was really pounding.

This was the first time Charles felt any attraction towards Hannah.

He always viewed her as a tool for him to achieve something in life.

She used to be just a tool, a means for him to discard later on.

Therefore, the next second, he naturally approached her face and pressed his lips against hers.

Hannah tried to hold off her real feelings.

From the corners of her eyes, she could see that Jane was going to explode in a fit of rage. She turned around and headed back to the hall grumpily.

Of course, Hannah was doing this just to enrage Jane.

So, since her goal was achieved, there was no need for her to continue this kiss with Charles.

Just as when she was about to push him away, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Oscar’s sharp, menacing eyes was locked onto her.

It made her feel… a little guilty.

She snapped back to reality and pushed Charles away just as he was about to go deep with his kiss.

Charles looked like he didn’t want this kiss to end just yet.

It was not the first time he had kissed Hannah, but for some reason, he felt like he couldn’t control his impulses anymore.

Was it because in order to avoid any troubles in the face of an impending marriage, he had limited himself from getting in touch with any woman, and that had made him feel an intense hunger for lust?

He wasn’t sure himself either, whether he just wanted a woman or was he having a crush on Hannah.

Immediately, he wanted to swoop in and kiss Hannah again.

Hannah stopped him from doing that and said, “Stop this. There are people coming and going all around us.”

“We are together for so many years. You’re so shy as usual.” Charles didn’t really force Hannah with his impulses. He could only hold in his cravings, “Anyway, we will be married in a month. On the night of the marriage, I must…”

Hannah didn’t want to find out what he wanted at all.

She again pretended to be shy, “Let’s just get back to the hall.”

“Alright.”

Charles and Hannah returned to the hall together.

There were still many guests in the hall, and the hall was bustling with activity.

This was probably the first time in the history of the Kensbury City that a birthday bash for a rich lady would be so magnificent and heavy!

Hannah continued to help her parents in entertaining the guests.

Naturally, Charles was practically part of the host family too due to her relationship with Hannah.

At 10:30 pm, Susan was really punctual.

She swerved and veered in the crowd and gathered all the people Hannah had wanted.

“The reason I am calling you all here is because I want to invite you guy to the night club to have fun. Although we are not all childhood friends, we still grew up side by side in the years before. It’s rare for us to be in one spot at the same time, so let’s cherish the time.” Susan was very enthusiastic.

“That’s awesome.” Hannah was the first to give her stamp of approval.

Charles looked a little startled.

Hannah was never interested in noisy places, and she had never ventured into the world of alcohol before, not to mention a night club.

But now, she had agreed to go without a single moment of hesitation!
