Chapter 45 Why Hasn’t Anything Happened to Your Belly?
Chapter 45 Why Hasn’t Anything Happened to Your Belly?
Hannah arrives home almost around the same time as Chester.
As soon as she gets out of the subway station and heads to the front of the block, she hears the sound
of a car.
She turns around. It is Chester's car. His previous car has been destroyed in the attack, and now he
has a new shiny black one, the Maybach, looking very cool, especially with the license plate number
888, which says to the beholder that this car belongs to someone you do not want to mess up with.
The backseat window is slowly rolled down, revealing Chester's cold face.
"What a coincidence." Hannah smiles at the person inside of the car, "You just got back too?"
Chester does not reply, but looks her up and down, giving out a frown.
"Why didn't you have a driver to drop you off?" He says.
The Shahbaz family has three chauffeurs. One is the senior master's private chauffeur, and the other
two are for everyone in the Shahbaz family to use. There should be one available to pick up Hannah if
she wants.
"Traffic jam." Hannah blinks to him, "You've never worked from 9 to 5 so you don't know what rush hour
is like in London. For a small staff like me, commuting by car is not ideal at all."
Hannah didn’t know this as well until the first day at work when she was stuck in traffic for a full hour.
So she hasn't had a driver to pick her up ever since.
Chester's rank and status means that he can clear the whole street whenever he goes out, so naturally,
he has never experienced a traffic jam, except that he may cause a traffic jam if people all go out to
welcome him. So what Hannah just said was true, but her tone was quite sarcastic, which makes
Chester frown and he closes the window.
Hannah is therefore locked out of the car door, a little embarrassed.
"Ma'am get in the car." Clement suddenly speaks up in the driver's seat, "There's still a ways to go. Let
me give you a ride."
Hannah's expression brightens, "Thank you, Clement."
Then she gets into the car.
She's been serving tea and water inside the office all day, and after standing in the subway back home,
her legs are long gone. She would give anything to walk less now.
"Don’t thank me. This is the young master's car." Clement checks Chester's expression from the
rearview mirror.
"It is his car, but he doesn't invite me, does he?"
Hannah deliberately raises her voice, "So I should thank you, Clement."
A muffled word comes from the side.
"Then you should get out."
Hearing this, Hannah immediately concedes, "And thank you, my beloved master." she smiled and
looked at Chester.
She knows that Chester is not a brutal, perverted and unreasonable person, even though he may look
cold and distant. He doesn't want to argue with hippies like her.
Sure enough, Chester's mouth quivers, and he restrains his gaze from Hannah for a long while.
"Clement, drive."
"Okay."
When the car drives up to the front door of the Shahbaz family, Lily and three servants have been
standing at the door already to greet them, and Lily is stunned when she sees Hannah come down first.
"How..."
"Lily, you don’t need to do this" without explaining why she is in Chester’s car, Hannah summons the
servants to help Chester down into the wheelchair.
Seeing this, Lily's attention is quickly diverted from Hannah’s presence to helping Chester get off.
"Be careful. Don’t let Chester fall."
Hannah notices the impatience of Chester.
He is at least the head of the military district! He is now crippled, but he is not a porcelain doll!
In Hannah's opinion, Lily's attention is probably all on how to seize power in the Shahbaz family. She
could not care less about her kids.
Before entering the door, she was pulled to the side by Lily, "Hannah, come here for a moment."
"Mom, what's wrong?" puzzled, Hannah walks over.
Avoiding the servants and Chester, Lily whispered under the porch, "Are you and Chester getting along
okay now?"
"It's been pretty good."
"And that belly of yours..." frowned Lily, "Why isn't anything happening?"
Hannah understands at once, so she coughs and lowers her voice, "Mom, how long have I been back?
And Chester's body you know, he can't have sex that many times."
"Well?" Lily's face is slightly stiff as she didn't expect Hannah to speak about sex so directly, She is
suddenly embarrassed.
"Oh, I... I wasn't asking you that, I was just... I was just asking...about...um..."
Hannah pretends to be confused, "Then what are you asking? What could happen to my belly?"
Lily holds it in for a long time.
"Forget it, come in and eat."
After that, she dumps Hannah and enters the house hastily.
Hannah stands in the doorway, looking relaxed and cosy. She has always been direct and candid.
Bryant also comes back for dinner in the evening, which is rare.
Probably because the senior master has suddenly fainted, the atmosphere at the dinner table is a bit
tense. Bryant glances at the senior master several times, looking for something to say.
Somehow, the subject of discussion is on Hannah.
"So tell me, Hannah. You have been admitted to the design department, haven’t you? How's it going?"
Hannah swallows the fish soup, and says honestly, "It's pretty good, there's quite a bit to learn from,
following Rose and some of the other designers."
"Recently the group has been busy with the business that Mrs Susan has been pulling strings on, and I
haven't bothered to ask you what position the HR department has given for you."
"Designer’s Assistant."
The table is suddenly quiet.
Bryant seems a little surprised, "Designer's assistant?"
"Yeah." Hannah is unsure of what is happening.
Lily, however, frowned. Rainy has a contemptuous attitude on, and Zander remains, as usual, leaning
back in his chair to watch the farce with a smile. The person who stays the calmest is Chester, who
behaves as if he knew everything all along. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
The senior master put aside the chopsticks, and says with a tone of displeasure, "So you let the eldest
daughter-in-law of the Shahbaz family work as a small assistant to run errands for people?"
Bryant looks shaky.
Hannah suddenly understands what is going on and explains for Bryant immediately.
"Grandpa, I asked for this on my own. It was me who intentionally concealed my identity, so the group
doesn't know about my relationship with you."
After hearing Hannah's words, the senior master's face eases back a little bit.
With the Shahbaz family's current status in London, it's far more of a respectable choice for the eldest
daughter-in-law of the family to stay at home as a housewife than to go outside to serve others.
The senior master of the Shahbaz family cares most about the family's face, so naturally, he won’t let
Hannah serve the others.
"That won't do," Lily suddenly interjected, "You're the eldest daughter-in-law of our family. How can you
just be an assistant in the company? You should be at least a department manager."
Hannah's brow furrows at this.
