The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

However, that evening, as Hannah was about to ascend the stairs in the White family mansion, she was intercepted by Christy.

“Jalen, Bainbridge and Edwin aren’t around today, and I sent the staff off.

I prepared dinner.

Would you like to join me?” Christy, usually so distant, inquired.

Hannah glanced at the dining table where several dishes were spread out.

“Not right now, I’m not hungry,” Hannah said, turning to leave.

Christy quickly moved to grasp Hannah’s arm.

“Actually, there’s something else I’d like to discuss with you.

For my sake, let’s dine together, shall we?”

Intrigued by Christy’s newfound sincerity, Hannah agreed.

She took a seat in the dining room and asked, “What’s on your mind?”

Christy graciously served Hannah and offered a warm smile.

“Please, try the food I’ve prepared.

”

Glancing at the meal before her, Hannah took a bite with her fork.

“Speak your mind.

You didn’t need to go to the trouble of cooking just for me.

”

“Okay, listen.

”

Letting out a resigned sigh, Christy met Hannah’s gaze.

“Actually, this is about Johanna.

I hope you won’t make a big deal out of it with her.

She’s quite a bit younger than us and sometimes lacks maturity.

She acted on impulse during your argument, but she regretted it afterward.

”

Understanding that Christy was advocating for Johanna, Hannah set her fork down gently.

“I have no intention of making a big deal with her.

Maintaining a composed demeanor, Hannah continued, “If I wanted to cause a scene with her, the blackmailer wouldn’t find himself behind bars so soon.

”

Visibly startled, Christy looked at Hannah, unease written all over her face.

“Yes, I understand you wouldn’t make an issue out of it with such a young girl.

”

Raising an eyebrow, Hannah shook her head.

“I’m done eating.

I have work to do upstairs.

”

“Um…”

Christy attempted to speak but held her tongue, simply watching as Hannah went upstairs.
