Hannah choked from the water, but each time she coughed, even more of it went in
After a while, Patricia finally yanked on Hannah’s collar to haul her backup
“How did it feel? Do you now know the despair Nessa telt when she couldn’t breathe? Knowing that just a simple act would have kept her alive, and yet, she didn’t even have the strength for th
Patricia tossed Hannah to the ground in disgust before dusting off her hands. Then, she tumed to the men.

her to recognize her feelings? It’s no wonder
Patricia didn’t plan on taking Seamus side, and Betty nodded along in full agreement as she chimed in, “You two are in the wrong this time, and it’s too late to fix things with Nessa now. She’s already married. You two shouldn’t disrupt her life anymore.”

Keanu lowered his gaze. His eyes flickered emotionally, but he couldn’t bring himself to respond. On the other hand, Seamus bit his lip Neither one of them was the type to give up this easily. Had that been the case, they wouldn’t have achieved their present successes.
Their respective achievements in the business world and out on the race track proved just how stubborn they were.
Patricia and Betty exchanged looks before sighing. They understood their sons well and knew they couldn’t do anything to dissuade either one. They had no choice but to let Seamus and Keanu do as they pleased
Coce Patricia and Betty left, Keanu had someone toss out the trash–Hannahı.
Just like that, Hannah was dumped on the streets with all of her belongings
A patrolling policeman saw her and hurriedly waved her off. “Miss, the homeless are not allowed to linger here. Please leave.”
Being labeled homeless struck Hannah to the core. She never thought she would end up like this. Her luggage had been dumped haphazardly beside her, looking like a pile of trash
Hannah’s face kept oscillating between embarrassment and anger. She kicked her luggage to vent her feelings, but the clanging sounds only made them sound even more like trash, and the thought of that made her expression even upller.
Just then, her phone started ringing. For a split second, she thought either Seamus or Keanu was having regrets and was calling to bring her back. She instinctively took the call, but it was entirely unlike what she was anticipating

quickly?
In her panic, Hannah wanted to take her things and leave, but she’d only just grabbed one of the suitcases when she thought of something She’d terminated her previous rental agreement, and she couldn’t go back to Lakebythet. She had no place to go now!
The thought made her slump onto the street indespair, and the grim–faced policeman came to chase her away “Miss, if you sit here like this, you’ll affect our city’s image! Please leave at once!”
