The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1742

Hannah’s expression tightened.

“I’m a bit worn out.

I need to head back and rest.

”

“We could grab dinner in a few days, then,” Bryson suggested.

Dotson cut in awkwardly from behind.

“What she means is she doesn’t want to have dinner with you.

”

His words hung in the air, followed by an awkward silence that settled in the car.

Maloney turned his head slowly, gave a thumbs up, and mouthed silently, “You were amazing!”

Bryson remained stoic, only pausing to stop the car at a red light.

He then turned to Hannah and said, “If you don’t want to visit the Mitchell family, just say no.

How about we plan a meal together in a few days?”

Hannah had already thought of an excuse to avoid the dinner and see Grace later.

But unexpectedly, Bryson confronted her directly.

“You don’t need to dodge Grace just to avoid me, do you?”

“I… When did I ever avoid Grace… to stay away from you?” Hannah retorted, flustered.

Bryson rarely saw Hannah flustered, and he couldn’t help but grin.

“So, you mean after a few days’ rest, you might join me for dinner?”

Hannah couldn’t believe his audacity.

Hannah gritted her teeth.

Every time, she seemed to walk right into his schemes!

“Fine, it’s just dinner.

I’ll come!”

But then she added with emphasis, “I’m bringing Dotson and Maloney with me.

”

Maloney immediately backed away, shaking his head.

“No way.

I’m not getting involved in your dinner date.

”

He knew better.

Whenever he got dragged into these situations, trouble followed.

And with Bryson’s jealous streak, it was a recipe for disaster!

Dotson, on the other hand, didn’t hesitate.

“I’ll be there.

If the boss says to go, I go.

”

Maloney often wondered if Dotson was simply oblivious or if he enjoyed making everyone uncomfortable.

Honestly, he felt like knocking some sense into Dotson right now, seeing him stand there so cluelessly.

Catching Maloney’s stare, Dotson turned to him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Maloney replied, managing a smile.

“Just hoping your evening goes smoothly.

”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the traffic light flipped to green.
