Chapter 2

After all, she heard that Sam had a high-paying job up the corporate ladder in a

big company .

Now that they had met face-to-face, Hannah realized that she got it all wrong.

Sam was attractive and carried himself with an air of aloofness. Standing next to him was

Granny Nelly with a sour face, he appeared standoffish and gave off vibes to stay

away from him.

Hannah's gaze strayed to a black MPV parked nearby. Judging by the logo, it was a

national car rather than some multimillion-dollar vehicle. Hannah deduced that the

economic difference between her and Sam was not that far off.

She and an old friend from school had started a bookshop at the entrance of Everpool School.

During her free time, Hannah would also knit little knick-knacks to sell online. The sales

were not too bad.

In a month, she could bring home a steady income of twenty thousand dollars. The

same amount in Everpool would position her among the white collars. That was why

she could afford to hand her sister five thousand bucks for living expenses.

"Hannah , this is my oldest grandson, Sam. He's a twenty seven year old man and can't

even get himself out there. Although he's not the warmest person, he's attentive and

considerate. You saved my life, and we've known each other for three months. Trust me

when I won't recommend a bad man to you."

Taking in his gran's description of him, Sam looked at Hannah, icily and profoundly without saying a word.

Perhaps he had grown immune to her grumbles.

Hannah knew that Granny Nelly had three sons, and each gave her three grandsons,

blessing her with nine grandsons. Since a granddaughter was missing in Granny

Nelly's life, she sought that affinity with Hannah.

Although blushing in the face, Hannah openly extended her right hand to Sam and

introduced herself with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Jone . I'm Hannah Walter ."Sam's penetrating gaze scanned her from head to toe and back. With granny

clearing her throat, he reached out his right hand for a shake, albeit his voice reflected

an icy tone. "Samuel ."

After the handshake, Sam raised his left hand to look at the time before informing

Hannah. "I'm a busy man. Let's get it done and over with."
