Chapter 957
"Heather, can you forgive me?" Ralph asked again.
"I..." Hannah did not know what she should say. After all, she was not Heather, and she could not decide her place, could she?
Tm sorry. I forgot about it again, Ms. Riggs," he apologized again, looking very sincere. "I know it’s your choice to forgive me, and I shouldn't interfere with
your decision."
"I did not..."
"I got it. I'm sorry," Ralph interrupted her, and he appeared distressed.
"I forgive you!” Hannah exclaimed, not knowing why she did, but those words had already come out of her mouth when she returned to her senses.
"Really? You're willing to forgive me?" Ralph raised his head in surprise and stared at her with a
burning gaze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuch a gaze from him felt strange yet familiar at the same time. When they went out a few days ago,
he also looked at her this way toward the end of their date. His gaze burned her even more when he
kissed her than it did now.
"I actually... forgot about what happened yesterday. You should do the same, too,” Hannah said
carefully.
In fact, she had no idea at all about yesterday’s incident. Since Heather was still going to get married to
him and speed up the process, Hannah felt that she should mend their relationship and help him not to
overthink. It would be terrible if Ralph felt that Heather had not forgiven him and decided not to get
married to her anymore due to his dejection.
"Really?" Her words made Ralph widen his eyes in disbelief.
'She was so angry yesterday that she looked like she was going to beat me up, but she has already
calmed down now? Did apologizing to her that way earlier really worked?"
"Yeah."
"That's great!" Ralph wanted to hold her hand from across the table but when he reached his hand out,
he finally realized that her hands had been under the table the entire time. That was no wonder he felt
that it was a little weird earlier. "You... Are your hands all right?"
"It's fine!" She panicked, causing the phone in her hand to fall to the ground. Her first reaction was to
bend down to pick it up, but Ralph did the same when he noticed something had fallen to the ground.
They stretched their hands almost at the same time, and they touched under the table.
"Ah!" Hannah called out softly and retracted her hand, but Ralph managed to see the pearl bracelet on
her wrist. The sight made him smile subconsciously.
'She put it on! Yesterday, she looked like she didn’t like it at all and didn’t even want to touch it, but she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwore it today! And she was so shy about it, which was why she had her hands placed under the table
the entire time. I bet she was holding the bracelet the entire time. This woman is indeed an
unpredictable one!'
As he thought, he suddenly found Margaret's words reasonable.
'A little coaxing is all it takes to make a woman obedient again.'
The two settled down in their seats again, and this time, Hannah placed her phone on the table. Her hands were also visible, and the pearl bracelet
became even more obvious in his line of sight.
Hannah's cheeks were red, and Ralph wondered if it was because she had held her breath earlier when she picked the thing up or because she was shy.
Regardless, Ralph liked this look on her because she looked human. Otherwise, he would have thought that he was facing a robot.
"Heather, you’re beautiful!" Ralph held her hand gently, to which she curled her fingers lightly but did not retract her hands.
The redness on her cheeks had faded a little by now. "I'm... beautiful?"
No one had ever complimented her before, and she could not get used to getting a compliment out of nowhere.
