Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1084

Hannah instinctively shied away when she was facing that terrifying glare. Feeling guilty, she placed the tea on the coffee table in front of the sofa without saying a word.

Hannah was exasperated as well. She honestly didn't know what to say. She was not good at buttering others up, and she would blush whenever she lied. It didn't even matter if it was a white lie. Fabian had set everything up to make her look nicer, so she couldn't go against that. Moreover, Fabian's mother didn't like Hannah in the first place and she would dislike Hannah even more if she figured out that someone else bought the tea.

Fabian sighed internally when he saw Hannah standing there stiffly. You've always been very smart to read a situation, so why is your acting off in front of my mom? Gah, nevermind. I'll do it myself. "Hannah, mom came all the way here. Why don't you go and make some tea?"

Hearing those words seemed to have zapped Hannah's mind. She immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go and do that now." After that, Hannah ran away quickly.

Fabian sat on the sofa once Hannah left the room. He asked again, "Mom, why did you come over all of a sudden?"

Heather sounded annoyed when she demanded, "Am I not allowed to visit? You've been married for almost a year, but I have never met my daughter-in-law before. Didn't you say that you would take her to come to visit us?"

Heather shot a look at Hannah, who was still making tea. The former said, "Follow me into the study. I have something to talk to you about."

She got up and headed to the study once she finished talking.

Fabian shook his head. He seemed a little irritated. He knew what his mother wanted to talk to him about, so he stood up and looked at Hannah's back before heading into the study as well.

The second Fabian stepped into the study, Heather complained openly, "Are you sure that the two of you are right for each other? She looks somewhat beautiful, but do you really think she can become a member of the Norton family?"

Fabian grinned bitterly. Looks like it is inevitable, after all. He took a deep breath before speaking up.

"Mom, it's the twenty-first century. Please stop binding me with those outdated values. So what if she is not from a powerful family? I can make up for it, can't I? Phoenix Group is doing well under my management, and we don't need a political marriage to strengthen my position in the company. Growing up, I've always obeyed your words. Will you go with my decision just this once?"

Fabian's mother had always been soft-hearted. That was why Fabian stepped closer and held his mother's hand as he spoke from his heart.

His method was extremely effective because Heather softened her stance almost immediately. Still, she pointed out, "I'm just voicing out my concern for your sake. Besides, even if I am okay with it, how will the others take it? Would the other members of the Norton family accept her as one of our own? I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but you have to think about these things, don't you?"

Fabian was glad to see his mother softening. He knew that it wouldn't actually be that difficult to solve the issue. All he needed was for his mom to like Hannah.

"Mom, I'm not marrying the other members of the Norton family, and it's not like I'm going to spend the rest of my life with them. Who cares about them? I am happy with Hannah, and you've always wanted me to happy, right? My life with Hannah is great, and I'm sure you won't want us to get a divorce."

Fabian could see that his mom was swaying, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot. He added, "Mom, as you see, Hannah might not be from a rich family, but her aura is just as regal. To top it off, she is kind and innocent. That makes her much better than the rich girls who are always scheming. You don't want your son to spend the rest of his life being on guard and fending off schemes, do you? If that is what you truly desire, though, then I have no choice."

Heather had always been a rich socialite, but she was not an unreasonable person. She also loathed the internal drama and schemes in rich families

Fabian put on a sorrowful look and sighed. He shook his head in disappointment and acted as if he was heartbroken over something that had already been set in stone.

Heather knew that her son was just putting on an act, but he had also made his decision. As his mother, she couldn't get too involved in the matter. All she could do was sigh internally. Every parent is a pitiful creature. No mother would ever wish unhappiness upon her own son.
