Chapter 861
Having her wine glass snatched away twice, Hannah was starting to get annoyed.
“Noal, give it back! Who do you think you are to meddle in my affairs?”
Noali remained silent, refusing to return the glass, holding it out of her reach.
With his arms longer than Hannah’s, she could not grab it, and she was genuinely getting angry.
“Noali, have you lost your mind? I pursued you for a year, and you never even glanced at me. I’m done. Will you please leave me alone?”
Her eyes reddened with tears, obviously distressed.
“Hannah, I…” Noah began, but he could not find the right words.
Gradually, the tip of his ears and cheeks flushed.
“What is it?” Hannah questioned.
Noah took a deep breath.
He had never confessed his feelings to anyone before, and he felt more nervous than he had during his first surgery!
Hannali ran out of patience, adding, “Forget it. I’ll get going.”
She stood up and was about to leave, but Noah quickly grabbed her hand, saying, “Don’t go.”
Then, he took another deep breath and simply drank the entire glass of red wine to boost his courage. However, he drank too quickly and became dizzy.
Nonetheless, he did feel to be much bolder.
“Hannah, I like you.”
Hannah was stunned, unable to react at first.
Noah continued, “I was confused before, never realizing my true feelings until you were gone. I want to marry you, but we can take things slow. We can date first and discuss marriage when the time is right. What do you think
Hannah stared at him in disbelief, wondering if this was some kind of joke.
The Noal sitting in front of her now seemed like an imposter.
She had dreamed of him confessing his feelings to her countless times, only to wake up with a smile and overwhelmed with sadness upon realizing it was just a dream.
Yet, Hannah’s heart felt strangely calm upon hearing Noah’s confession.
The anticipation she once had seemed to have been worn down by disappointment after
Chanter Best
disappointment.
Especially when she found that Noah had already planned out dating and marriage.
It all seemed so absurd.
“Mr. Noah, are you kidding me?” Hannah responded with a bitter smile playing on her lips.
Noah’s usually cold expression turned unusually serious.
“No, I mean every word.”
Hannah smirked and mocked, “Is it because I pursued you for a year, and now that I’ve stopped, you suddenly feel strange?”
Noah did not want to deceive her, nodding and admitting, “It’s true that
I’m used to having you pursuing me, but I should have realized my feelings for you sooner. I’m dense in matters concernin feelings.”
Hannah did not find comfort in his words. She found them all the more ironic.
“When I liked you, you never took me seriously. And now that I’ve decided to move on from you completely, you come here and tell me all this. If you stop liking me or get tired of me, will you give me the cold shoulder and force me to leave? What do you take me for?”
Her eyes grew redder, feeling truly humiliated.
“Noah, even though the Moore family isn’t as wealthy or powerful as the Lawson family, I won’t allow you to treat me like this!”
Noah had not expected her reaction to be so intense.
Could it be that his indifference over the past year had truly broken her heart?
“Hannah, I didn’t mean it like that.”
Noah was not great at explaining himself.
Seeing Hannah in tears, he was also at a loss for how to comfort her.
He clumsily grabbed some tissues to wipe away her tears, but he rubbed too hard, accidentally smudging her left eyeliner.
He quietly stopped, helplessly and timidly looking at the mess he made.
Noticing his unusual demeanor, Hannah seemed to catch on and quickly took out a mirror from her handbag.
Though the smudging was not extensive, it ruined her entire delicate makeup.
Her anger peaked, shouting, “Noah, were you sent by the universe to torment me? Did I owe you in our past life? Pursuing you for a year was already torturous enough, and now that I’ve moved on, you’re here to make things difficult for me. What do you want from me?”

Noah stared at his hand in bewilderment, saying, “I’m sorry. I’ve never taken care of a girl before, and I lack experience. Please don’t be angry. It’s not as serious as you think.”
Hannah could not believe he was apologizing..
This proud and aloof man was actually apologizing to her?
