While on the way, her phone rang, and it was Wyatt on the line.
This time, his tone was significantly more humble.
“Hannah, it’s been so many years since you’ve been home. Your mother and I miss you.”
Hannah, her fingers gripping the steering wheel, couldn’t help but let out a sarcastic laugh.
“My mother passed away long ago. Does she miss me from six feet under?”
“Julissa is also your mother!”
Wyatt’s voice took on a sharper edge.
“You’re so stubborn! You just say whatever you want now!”
Hannah retorted, her voice dripping with cynicism, “Yes, we haven’t seen each other for years. I thought you were gone. I never expected you to suddenly rise from the dead. How embarrassing.”
Wyatt’s irritation flared on the other end of the line.
“Hannah! I am ordering you to come back. You better return immediately. This is for your own good. Don’t fucking wait for me to reach drastic measures!”
In the background, Julissa intervened, her voice softer, “Wyatt, be more gentle when speaking to Hannah. I know you have a sharp tongue and a soft heart, but it upsets Hannah. Give me the phone.”
Taking the phone, Julissa adopted a gentler tone.
“Hannah, please don’t mind your dad. Come to Muvrand this weekend for dinner with us, and then we can all return to Hoijery together. We miss you so much.
You haven’t been back once in all these years, and we couldn’t even reach you.”
Hannah replied defiantly, “If you want to get in touch with me, you can. If you don’t, you won’t. Why suddenly remember me now? So you decided to call me. It’s not because you want something, is it? I suggest you don’t waste your time. I won’t come back. Tell Wyatt that if he resorts to so-called ‘drastic measures’, I won’t spare him.”
With that, she promptly hung up the phone.

Wyatt fumed, “That ungrateful brat! Our family raised her for years, and now look at her-hanging up on me like that!”
Julissa, her voice calmer, tried to soothe Wyatt.
“Calm down, Wyatt.
We haven’t been in touch with Hannah for so Long. Perhaps something’s bothering her. We should plan a trip to Valmere and talk things out with her.”
She continued to console Wyatt, saying, “You know Hannah is tender- hearted. If we approach her with kindness, she won’t hold a grudge.”
Wyatt’s brow furrowed, his patience waning.
“Our family is facing financial difficulties now, and she’s just been through a divorce.
