Hannah replied petulantly, “You did not have any experience in the past, so you’re unable to understand. What are you rambling about at such an old age?”
“Of course, it’s the proposal. Zeke didn’t officially propose to Lacey, so why did she agree to marry him?” She added matter-of-factly, “He simply asked her to marry him in the car, and Lacey agreed. That’s so humiliating!”
“Is that it?” Daniel was at a loss for words. “Now they’re almost as close as husband and wife and have destined the rest of their lives for each other. If he were to propose again, does it hold any meaning? Is it really important to you women?”
“What do you know,” Hannah sneered, “People like yourself and Zeke are what the internet deems as hopeless, someone who should be a bachelor for the rest of their lives. I was blind back then; that’s why I married you.” She added, “To tell you the truth, women find two things important before they get married. First, will be the proposal and second, the wedding. Don’t you agree?”
“Women are so hard to understand. You don’t have to say, which man will know how much a proposal means to the woman,” Daniel shot her a wry smile. “However, I still remember the time I wooed and proposed to you...”
His words caused Hannah Lawson’s temper to spark. She scoffed, “What proposal? Don’t you put a feather in your cap! You just kept coming over to my house whenever you were free back then. Whether it was to retrieve water or to chop firewood, you just worked without saying anything. My mum even offered you food, but you declined it.” novelbin
She reminisced, “At that time, your family still owed us money. My parents always thought that you were trying to work off the debt. In the end, it was because I stumbled upon your diary and saw that you liked me...How in the world do you consider this as a proposal?”
Daniel turned frantic, “You...you peeked at my diary? When was it?”
Hannah sneered, “B*****d, you should know what’s good for you. If I didn’t peek at your diary, do you think you would have married me?”
She added, “With that said, although you’re boring and slow-witted, you’re loyal to the family and able to endure the hardships. Zeke’s character is the same as yours. He is dependable. I can relax after handing Lacey over to him.”
Daniel let out a silly grin.
This is the first time Hannah praises me!
“Daniel Hinton, I’m telling you, don’t you ever remind Zeke.” Hannah warned, “If you were to remind him, there’s no meaning to the proposal anymore, might as well not have one.”
Daniel nodded. “Yeah, I know.”
However, he had different thoughts. He decided to find an opportunity to provide Zeke with some hints.
Because he had not proposed back then, it had caused resentment in Hannah’s heart. His daughter
should not end up as a resentful woman.
In another part of the house, Zeke was tossing and turning on the sofa, unable to sleep.
He still could not understand and figure out the missing link to move Lacey.
He felt extremely confused.
Woman, why are you such a pain? Can’t you just tell me what you deSire? Why do you have to affect my appetite?
He rather not think about the issue. Instead, he fished out his phone to give Lone Wolf of the Military District a call.
Once the call connected, Zeke asked, “Lone Wolf, has Logan Hugh make any moves recently?”
He had commanded Lone Wolf to watch Logan’s every movement.
Lone Wolf reported back, “Sir, I haven’t noticed anything unusual about Logan Hugh. He didn’t even get connections to save his student, Sam Clemons.”
Zeke nodded and replied, “Okay.”
This Logan Hugh is too cautious.
At first, Zeke wanted to find out the black sheep in his circle by using Logan.
However, Logan had not used his connections to save other people, which made Zeke unable to proceed with the investigation.
Lone Wolf remarked, “However, Logan Hugh’s phone bill has soared during this period. He should have contacted many people over the phone.”
