My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 51

“Mr. Lancaster seems to be kind to everyone. Have you eaten? Come, let’s eat together. There’s so much, I can’t possibly finish it all by myself.”

Hannah pulled out a chair, inviting her to join.

Anna didn’t stand on ceremony. She had been so busy getting everything Mr. Lancaster asked for that she had rushed over without even a sip of water.

After breakfast, Anna chatted with her for a while, told her to rest well, and then left.

Not long after Anna departed, Hannah’s phone rang again.

It was Lionel.

Hannah sat quietly, staring at the name on the screen. Come to think of it, the number of times he had called today was probably more than he had in the entire past year.

She was curious why he was so desperate to call her. What did he want to ask?

To ask if she had been assaulted?

To ask if she was dead?

To ask how long she planned to keep up this kidnapping charade?

She couldn’t think of any other reason.

She let the phone ring, walking over to the sofa and turning on the TV.

As fate would have it, the news was reporting on a recent incident involving Lionel. Someone had maliciously tried to tarnish his reputation, but his new lawyer, Sandra, had cleverly seen through their scheme. Not only had she helped Lionel navigate the crisis, but she had also caused the Rosenberg Group’s stock to rise several points.

On screen, the man’s face was grim. He didn’t seem happy about overcoming the crisis. Instead, he looked agitated, even leaving a press conference midway through to make a phone call.

Watching his distressed expression, Hannah instinctively scanned the area around him but didn't see Sandra.

He was probably worried about her and left to check on her.

After all, he was capable of doing such things for Sandra.

“Where are you?”

Hannah took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. “Lionel, does it matter where I am?”

“Hannah!” he gritted out. “Tell me where you are!”

Hannah’s gaze darkened. “And what if I do? Will you come see me? And after that? Take me home? And then we go back to our normal lives?”

Her words left him speechless.

Hannah listened to his breathing and couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.

Hearing her laugh, Lionel froze.

“Lionel, why do you suddenly care where I am? Does your grandmother want to see me? Is there some family event at the estate? If not, then you don't need to worry about where I am, because you never cared before. And I don't care where you are either.”
