Chapter 221
Hannah had walked away angrily from the table she had sat on. She wondered how Isabella dared to approach her and warn her to stay away from her husband. Who does that? she thought angrily.
Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned swiftly and saw Lucas. He had just arrived at the party.
“Hey, are you alright?” He asked as he noticed the look on her face.
“Yeah, I’m okay?” She said in response and then raised her eyebrows wondering what he was doing at the party.
“Did you receive the flowers?” Lucas asked and Hannah nodded.
“Yeah but that was a lot of flowers, you shouldn’t have gone through the stress of getting me those, besides I do not like flowers, ” Hannah said and Lucas’s face fell immediately.
Hannah, who had noticed the look on his face, quickly rephrased her words.
“I love the flowers though, they were really beautiful, ” she said and he smiled.
“I’m glad you love it,” he said in response and she gave out a small smile.
“Mom said you apologized to her, it made her happy. Thank you” Hannah said and Lucas chuckled.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Oh, it’s nothing. She’s my mom and I did the right thing by apologizing ” Lucas said Hannah nodded and out of the blue, she held his hands while staring into his eyes.
“I know Brandon must have hurt you a lot in the past, please, forgive him and give him a chance to be a big brother to you, you both can start afresh again, no more fighting, please” Hannah said and Lucas stared at her hands.
The moment their hands came in contact, he felt every anger inside of him disappear. He felt extremely calm at once.
“Yeah sure,” he said and Hannah smiled and removed her hands from his.
“Can we be friends, Hannah?” Lucas asked.
“Yeah, of course we are friends” she said and he smiled.
Just then Jessica and Matthew walked towards them.
“Hey” Matthew muttered
“Hey Matthew,” Hannah smiled.
“Hey, wow, your dress looks so beautiful, ” Jessica said and Hannah smiled.
“Brandon bought it for me, I didn’t want to wear it, he had forced me to,” Hannah said and they all laughed.
“That’s Brandon for you,” she said and Hannah laughed.
“Your dress looks pretty too,” Hannah said and Jessica muttered a thank you.
She then turned to Lucas who was looking extremely calm which was unlike him. Whenever he was with Hannah, he was always like a new being.
“I would be on the table over there, you could join me,” Jessica said
“Sure,” Hannah said and turned to Lucas.
“No I’m not joining you guys,” he said and gave Hannah one last glance before walking away.
“He’s going to stick his nose in other people’s business again,” Jessica said as they walked towards the table and sat on it.
Meanwhile, Brandon on the other hand, who was with Thomas and had suddenly caught a glimpse of Lucas at the party.
He wondered what he was doing at the party.
“Excuse me, I will be back,” he said as he stood up and walked towards Lucas.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” he asked and Lucas turned to him.
“Oh, it’s a banquet party and the last time I checked, the party ain’t yours. Anyways, I’m here to drink myself to a stupor and steal your woman” he said as he smiled and Brandon scoffed.
“Don’t start with me Lucas,” he said as Lucas squinted his eyes.
“Oh, you started it, Brandon. With the whole I’m insecure, I’m jealous, stop giving my woman flowers, leave her alone, lecture. I’m still taking satisfaction in that” Lucas said and Brandon smiled.
“As long as you heard it,” he said
“What? Heard what? Oh sorry, I think I’m having an ear problem which makes it difficult for me to hear what you say, although I can hear what other people say, but I just can’t hear yours” he said and Brandon hummed.
“You have no sense of humor, Brandon. You don’t know when someone is having fun because you are always too serious” Lucas said and Brandon scoffed.
“I just don’t have time for jokes, Lucas and I’m not kidding when I asked you to stay away from Hannah,” he said and Lucas shrugged.
“Hey, look I get it. I’m the generous brother, an outstanding option and you are scared that eventually now that I haven’t found Lisa, I’m gonna focus all my attention on Hannah and Hannah is gonna fall in love with me and choose me.
But don’t worry Hannah is not Lisa” he said and Brandon stared at him with a straight face.
“Yeah, You are right, she’s not. And I’m going to be repeating this, history would not be repeating itself where Hannah is concerned” Brandon said and Lucas nodded.
“Sure, Hannah and I are just friends, that’s all,” he said as he gave Brandon one last glare before walking away.
Isabella on the other hand was so pissed because Hannah pushed her and called her a whore and all she wanted was to get back at her.
She stood at the corner of the party as she watched her laugh with Jessica.
She then saw a waitress who was sharing drinks. She took a glass of drinks from the waitress and poured a liquid inside of it and mixed it and gave it to the waitress to give to Hannah.
The liquid she had poured on hannah’s drink, she had brought it because she planned on drugging Brandon but now she was drugging Hannah instead.
The waiters took the drinks and gave one to Jessica, one to Matthew and the last one that was drugged to Hannah.
“Thank you” she muttered and the waitress smiled at her.
Jessica was the first to sip from her glass.
“Wow, this tastes nice. I need more. You should drink yours Hannah, it tastes good” Jessica said as she beckoned for the waitress to bring more.
“I’m a mom, I would be going home to take care of my kids, I don’t want to get drunk,” she said and Jessica laughed.
“Common, it’s just one glass and I promise you won’t get drunk. Please for me, let’s just have fun” Jessica said and Hannah smiled.
It wouldn’t be bad if she had fun though, she thought and then gulped down all the drink in the glass.
Isabella, on the other hand, stood and watched her drink it all. An evil smile was great on her lips.
