Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1083Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1083
Fabian’s mom, Heather, had always been upset about how Fabian married Hannah. She thought that
Hannah was not worthy of her incredible son, who was in a noble family. She wasn’t actually a mean
person, but her way of thinking was more traditional, so she believed that only people of the same
social status should get married. To her, Hannah was nothing but a lowly journalist.
Hannah was aware of all that as well. She knew that Fabian was out of her league, but she was forced
to marry him, too. That got her to sigh internally. The never-ending soap opera of a rich family.
“Um, of course not. Sit, please,” said Fabian as he forced a smile onto his face. He was secretly
displeased with his mom’s attitude, but what could he do? The person standing in front of him wasn’t
some business tycoon or political leader. That was his mom!
Heather walked to the sofa and sat down, but her expression remained hostile and brimming with
discrimination.
Hannah looked a little off as well. She knew that Heather’s grouchy expression and hostility were
directed at her, but she refused to butter Heather up. She felt like doing all that would just make herself
seem even smaller.
Fabian nudged Hannah and signaled her with his eyes.
Hannah read the social cue and took a deep breath before she spoke politely and sweetly, “Mom,
you’re here.”
Heather rolled her eyes at Hannah. She didn’t like her, but the social rules dictated that she needed to
be polite. Hence, she responded with a half-hearted “Hmm.”Hannah didn’t really know what to do after greeting Heather, so the situation turned awkward. Fabian
tried to keep both sides happy.
“Mom, this is Hannah. I told you earlier about her. Sorry, I’ve been busy at work lately, so I didn’t go and
visit you.”
They were forced to get married, so Hannah and Fabian simply signed their names on the paper
without having a reception. Fabian didn’t want his mother to butt into his love life. Hence, he had been
dragging his feet, and that was actually the first time Hannah and Heather met.
Heather secretly examined her own son. Naturally, she knew all about what her son had been doing
lately, but Hannah was present, so Heather didn’t feel right talking about it. She simply complained
bitterly, “Yes, you have been busy. So busy that you don’t even take the time to visit your own mother.”
Fabian started sweating upon hearing those words. His mother had been spoiling him since he was a
kid, and he frequently visited her even when he was busy at work. That was no longer the case after he
married Hannah. He felt guilty about his marriage with Hannah and was worried about his mom
noveldramainterrogating him because he wouldn’t know how to answer her questions.
He could get away with dismissing her questions once or twice, but if he kept doing that, his mother
would undoubtedly become suspicious. Hence, Fabian stopped going home altogether to prevent any
unwanted issues from arising.
Fabian honestly didn’t know if he wanted to laugh or cry at his mother’s childish stance. He understood
that his mom needed someone to coo her at that moment, so he cleared his throat and spoke up.
“Mom, we were just about to go visit you. See what Hannah is holding? That’s rose tea. She knows
about the health benefits of tea and went out of her way to get it for you. You know that she is a
journalist and that she doesn’t have much time. She had been feeling guilty about not visiting you
earlier, so she asked for some time off from her senior editor just to go visit you.”Fabian was making things up because he didn’t want Hannah to feel awkward.
Hannah couldn’t help finding everything funny. The way Fabian lowered his stance… Haha, who
would’ve thought that the renowned Mr. Norton has a side this cute? He can tackle economic storms
and squash competitors. Yet, he turns into a sweet house pet that butters its master up when faced
with a harmless, elderly lady.
Fabian signaled to Hannah once more to get her to hand the tea over. To his surprise, Hannah stood
there without responding. She had a silly grin on her, and that got Fabian irritated. Seriously, woman.
You are so dumb that you should be hospitalized. Can you not get distracted at a crucial moment like
this?
Hannah suddenly felt a sting on her foot. She instinctively shifted her gaze down because she felt like
heavy lead had suddenly landed on her foot. It didn’t matter how hard she tried. She simply couldn’t lift
it.
Soon, Hannah realized that Fabian’s foot was right on top of hers. She turned to Fabian fearfully.
Turned out, she was better off not turning to him, because what she saw was his murderous gaze.
Hannah had completely rendered Fabian speechless. I am trying to get you back to reality, woman.
Why are you having a battle of strength against me?
