“But I’m afraid you’ve grossly overestimated my morals. You can’t leverage them against me.”
She turned to leave, only to glance back again and add, “I’ll give you a day to pack up and leave. Otherwise, you will be served with a lawyer’s letter, and we shall see each other in court. You’d do well to take everything I say to heart.”
When Hannah arrived home later that evening, she found several missed calls from Declan.
Already knowing what he wanted to talk about, she tossed her phone on the bathroom counter without returning any of his calls, then proceeded to take a long, relaxing bath.
She had just finished blow-drying her hair when her phone rang again.
Hannah picked it up and answered without looking at the caller ID.
“If you’re calling about Eliana, Declan, I suggest that you spend your time moving your things out of the villa instead of pestering me like this!”
“Oh, he was pestering you, then?”
Hannah paused, That voice sounded different from what she was expecting. She pulled her phone back and glanced at the screen.
Bryson Mitchell.
She cleared her throat and put the device back to against her ear.

“It’s nothing, really. Just a minor issue.”
Hannah grabbed a towel and padded out of the bathroom.
“Are you done with your meeting?”
“Yes. I’ll be taking a business trip to Muvrand for a few days, though.”
Hannah merely hummed in response.
“Take care on your way.”
“Grace’s condition has significantly improved. I was thinking of taking her with me this time.”
“That’s a great idea. A change of scenery would do Miss Mitchell a lot of good.”
A brief moment of silence followed. When Bryson spoke again, his voice was soft, his tone measured.
“I really want to take Grace with me, but I’m still worried about her health. May I invite you to accompany us to Muvrand?”
Hannah let out a light chuckle.
“So, this is what you were getting at, Mr. Mitchell. The school will be on summer break soon, so I think I’d have some time to spare.”
“Thank you.”
