Chapter 855
Having known Noah for so long, Hannah was used to seeing him as exceedingly aloof and coldly arrogant at all times. She had never seen him completely drenched, and even his short hair was wet as if he had just showered.
She stared at him in shock, her heart skipping a beat.
“What are you...”
Noah's pale lips curved into a gentle smile.
It was a faint smile, yet it felt like the thawing of winter’s snow or the warmth after a storm.
Hannah’s heart raced as she uncontrollably blushed.
Did he... actually smile at her?
It had been her most cherished hope for so long.
Unfortunately, she no longer cared anymore.
Hannah lowered her gaze, refusing to look at Noah any longer, concealing the sudden surge of bitterness in her heart. Noah’s smile faded, replaced once again by his usual cold gaze.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Vanessa cheerfully explained, “Hannah, Mr. Noah is here in Farlem for business, and he had a little mishap on the way. He lost his phone and wallet and spent the night in the rain. He needs a place to stay for a few days.”
“Oh,” Hannah replied coldly.
She had not expected him to go through so much yesterday, but then again, it was not for her sake. She paused, then lifted her head to ask, “Whether Mr. Noah stays here or not isn’t up to me; it's up to you and Dad. So, why are you telling me that?”
Setting down her utensils, she got up and headed upstairs to her room.
Mr. Noah. Kennedy tried to ease the awkward situation, saying, “Hannah has always been that way, Don’t mind her. You probably didn’t get much rest last night. Why don’t you go to the guest room and freshen up? I'll have someone buy some clothes for you in your size and deliver them shortly.”
Noah looked at himself and realized that he did need a shower, given his drenched state. “Thank you.”
Kennedy and Vanessa smiled and quickly arranged for Noah to be taken to the guest room. Soon, the sound of rushing water filled the small bathroom.
Kennedy and Vanessa exchanged glances, then went about attending to their respective tasks.

Ten minutes later, Vanessa knocked on Hannah’s door, holding a set of clothes selected for Noah.
Hannah was doing her makeup, getting ready to go out for lunch later.
“Come in,” she called out.
Vanessa entered, placing the sets of clothes on her vanity.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mr. Noah is taking a shower, Why don’t you hold off on your makeup for a bit and take these clothes. to him first?”
Confused, Hannah turned to her mother, giving her a puzzled look.

Vanessa chuckled and joked, “Well, that might just get you out of the engagement with the Fuller family as you'll have to take responsibility for your actions! No, wait! Make Mr. Noah responsible for you!” Hannah was speechless, staring at Vanessa in frustration.
“Mom, what are you thinking? Why would he think of me? Doing this just to get attention will only make him dislike me even more.”
“No, dear. It’s just handing him some clothes. Just go and do as | say,”
Vanessa insisted, giving her orders before leaving the room. “Hurry up. All the servants at home are busy, and you're the only one with free time at hand.”
Without waiting for Hannah to reply, Vanessa quickly left. Hannah sighed, feeling exasperated as she stared at herself in the mirror.
Why did Noah suddenly have to be in Farlem on business?
