Novel Storm
Chapter 2
Though he felt nothing for Hannah, he was willing to offer her a generous settlement, acknowledging her years of service and trouble- free relationship with the Edwards family.
It was akin to keeping horses for pleasure but knowing there was a cost involved.
Declan gestured to the contract with his long index finger, on which was a meaningful ring that had remained on that finger for four years.
Hannah’s eyes stung momentarily.
“You have three days to think it over.
But don’t keep me waiting.
My patience has its limits.
”
“No need.
”
Hannah picked up a black pen beside her and signed her name at the designated area.
“I’m clear-headed.
I’ll move out today and won’t be in your way anymore.
”
“Very well,” Declan acknowledged, unfazed.
He had to admit, even now, Hannah remained poised and sensible, never causing him concern.
It should be called a twist of fate that he had always loved another woman.
In truth, as Mrs.
Edwards, she was arguably the most suitable wife among society’s elite.

Just as Declan was about to speak further, the door burst open.
Sadie Edwards, Declan’s younger sister, stormed in, blurting out, “Declan, I heard you’re parting ways with the jailbird today.

Her eyes met Hannah’s, who had just turned to look, and she rolled her eyes dismissively at Hannah.
Annoyed, Declan said, “How many times must I remind you? When I’m discussing business, you need to knock before entering.
Your behavior hardly befits a socialite.
”
Leaning against the table, Sadie grinned slyly.
“Alright, got it.
Now, give me the car keys.
I’ve got plans with my friend to go for a drive.

Always indulgent of his headstrong sister, Declan nodded towards Hannah.
“Give her the keys.
”
Hannah’s eyes lowered, her voice even.
“I thought you said that car was mine.
”
Her words were soft as ever, but Declan sensed an unfamiliar chill.
Infuriated, Sadie lunged at Hannah and shoved her forcefully.
“What are you talking about? Everything here belongs to my brother.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
What do these things have to do with you? Hand over the keys!”
