Chapter 837
In the past, Hannah’s face would light up with admiration, filled with affection and love, whenever she saw Noah.
However, her expression was unusually complex this time.
After many dilemmas, Hannah lowered her eyes sorrowfully and finally spoke, “Mr. Noah, I’m sorry for troubling you for the past six months.”
Noah stared at her quietly, not saying a word, waiting for her to continue.
“In the future, I probably won’t bother you anymore because… my dad has decided to arrange my engagement with the heir of the Fuller family.”
Noah froze, his lips pressed tightly together.
After some thought, he said, “Well, congratulations.”
Those words felt like thousands of steel needles piercing Hannah’s heart, causing unbearable pain to spread throughout her body.
and it was all She fought back the tingle in her nose and firmly said, “I know you’ve never liked me, my wishful thinking. From now on, I’ll gradually let go of my feelings for you and come to my senses, never bothering you again.”
Hannah’s nasal tone became heavier as she spoke, her eyes uncontrollably reddened, shimmering
with tears.
Despite being an independent and strong–willed woman in the business world, she was still a hopeless romantic hoping for the affection of someone she liked when it came to love.
Nevertheless, Noah’s congratulatory words had completely awakened her.
Noah noticed her extreme sadness and reached out to comfort her. However, he hesitated midway through, unsure of what role he was comforting her from.
As he struggled with his thoughts, Hannah had already made up her mind.
“Goodbye, Mr. Noah.”
With these weighty words, she turned and left, almost running away.
Noah’s hand remained frozen in place, his mind blank for a long time, unable to describe the mixed emotions swirling inside him, feeling strangely peculiar.
It was not until someone’s arm draped over his shoulder that he snapped out of his daze.
It was Howard, and he had witnessed Hannah leaving in tears when he walked over. Howard sighed and advised, “Noah, I hate to say it, but this is on you. She pursued you for six months, and judging by your expression, it seems like you have some feelings for her after all. In

Noah adjusted his expensive wristwatch and replied without hesitation, “She’s already engaged. There’s no need for me to disrupt her life. From now on, we’ll each go our own way.”
“So, what you’re saying is that you do have some feelings for her?” Howard was adept at reading
between the lines.
Noah thought for a moment, answering coldly, “No, I don’t.”
Then, he turned and walked away.
Howard hurried to catch up, saying, “Bullshit! You’re just pretending. You hesitated!
“Noah, others may not understand you, but I do! If you continue to be as thick–headed as a log, you’re going to lose your wife!”
Noah remained silent, maintaining his cold and unapproachable demeanor.
Howard genuinely worried about him, adding, “Noah, you should pursue her while you still can. You’re heading down a dangerous path like this! Do it now before it’s too late!”
In the ward, Elliot chased away the chatty crowd.
The room finally quieted down.
Elliot blew on the soup to cool it before patiently feeding Sheena each spoonful. However, his obsidian eyes revealed that his mind was elsewhere.
Having been together for so long, Sheena could tell immediately that something was bothering him. “Eli, what’s wrong?”
