Judging by his rhetorical question, Hannah let out a long sigh of relief and knew she had overreacted.
The curious Helen asked, “If that’s the case, where are you going to sleep?”
Hannah, who was equally confused, added, “Can you stop keeping us in the dark?”
Fabian smirked because he had successfully piqued the sisters’ curiosity. He decided to play hard to get and announced, “Why don’t you see for yourself when the time comes?”
“Urgh! Can you stop playing hard to get?” Helen rolled her eyes and replied in a petulant manner.
He responded with a smile and brought himself out of the ward in silence.
“Hannah, since when have you started cohabiting with Fabian? Why haven’t you mentioned anything about it?” The moment Fabian departed, Helen started interrogating her sister.
As she had embarrassed herself in front of Winson for one, she had learned her lesson to mind her words. Hence, she took a peek at him and ensured he had fallen asleep before directing the question at her sister.
“I-It’s about two to three months ago. A-Am I supposed to tell you I have moved over to my boyfriend’s place when you have never asked?” The diffident Hannah stuttered because she had been staying with Fabian for a year. Nonetheless, she couldn’t tell her sister the truth. Otherwise, Helen would have the shock of her life.
“Two to three months? Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re still single the last time we met each other a few months ago. Considering the fact you have moved over to his place for at least two months—”
Halfway through her speech, Helen tried to figure out the entire timeline. Suddenly, she sprang up from the chair and exclaimed, “Have you moved into his place one month into your relationship with him? Goodness gracious! Hannah, I’m impressed!”
Why have I forgotten something so important? I should have been more alert with the dates! I wonder if she’s going to have another shock of her life if she figures out it’s actually a year besides the fact that we’re actually married?
“Are you sure you’re not trying to keep me in the dark on purpose? I’m pretty sure you have forgotten about this beloved sister of yours because he’s the only one you care about now!” Helen continued teasing her sister.
“Can you stop pulling my leg? Actually, we’re not exactly cohabiting because we spend most of our time in our respective rooms.”
Her sister arched her brows, indicating she had her doubts. “Nah, I’m pretty sure you’re lying.”
“I-I’m not!” Hannah was completely speechless because Helen refused to believe her when she finally told her the truth for once. In spite of spending most of their time in their respective room, Fabian would often sneak his way into her room in the middle of the night.
To be precise, most of the time Fabian wasn’t home. Whenever he made his way home in the middle of the night, Hannah had fallen asleep. Thus, she had no idea he had been sleeping next to her because he would rouse from his sleep way ahead of her in the morning.
“Well, I guess I’ll have to believe you since I can’t do anything to prove my hypothesis right.”
Hannah knew there wasn’t anything she could do to prove herself innocent anymore.
Suddenly, a thunderous ringtone could be heard as Helen received a call.
It was some aggressive rock music.
Hannah burst out laughing when she heard her sister’s ringtone. She asked, “Oh, God! What’s wrong with your ringtone? Are you into some sort of heavy metal band?”
“Hmph! That’s none of your business!” Immediately after Helen retrieved her phone, she rushed out of the ward.
“Please stay!” Suddenly, the voice that could be heard out of the blue horrified Hannah.
She subconsciously turned around and looked at Winson who started talking in his sleep.
What’s going on? Has someone shown up in his dream? Does that mean he’s also in love with someone?
Hannah shook her head and stopped herself from overthinking things since she was about to get her parents to meet Fabian’s family members in person.
After being on the end of delivering my blessing over the years, I guess it’s finally time for me to be on the receiving end, huh?
