"Oh my, Hannah you are around"!!! Caroline said happily as she stood up and went to hug Hannah.
Hannah stiffened but slowly relaxed and hugged her back.
Eww, that's gross. Why did you have to hug her? Brielle asked irritably.
Caroline pulled away from the hug and smile.
"It's an ewww to you cause you are disgusting. " She replied sarcastically.
Enough girls. No arguing. Mrs Emerson intervened staring at Hannah.
"You look pale". Mrs Emerson noted her gaze scrutinizing on Hannah hardly.
Oh no. Aunt Tessa screamed making everyone look at her with a worried expression.
"What's wrong Tessa"? Her husband, Uncle Anthony asked worriedly.
Don't tell me that you already had sex with this rag and she is already pregnant. Aunt Tessa said her eyes widened in horror making the girls screeched in embarrassment except Hannah and Brielle who had a blank look.
There was a sudden uncomfortable silence that enveloped the room. Until Brielle spoke making the room a bit less tensed,
Actually brother, sleeping with her , she can give the family a bad heir. Brielle said sharply.
"You all should stop saying this. You are making Hannah uncomfortable, and Logan, please say something and stop being mute. " Carie intervened irritated at the silence of Logan.
Logan didn't say anything and went to sit on the empty seat next to the head of family chair.
When there was no response, Logan finally spoke and what he said next made Hannah knees weak to the core.
"I can never have sex with her, I only accepted this marriage because of grandpa. So why should I have sex with someone I barely know ?" He spoke casually, his black eyes staring right at Hannah.
Grandma Emerson smiled happily.
"That's good to hear Logan. I'm so happy and proud of you, for not choosing to be blind like your father and grandfather for choosing such a rag". She said with a wide smile as she picked up her cutlery and began eating.
Hannah felt weak as she suddenly felt dizzy, but she managed to hold her self from falling.
Oh dear, have a sit. Carie said pushing out a chair for her to sit down.
"Does the words Logan said, hurt deep?" Brielle asked with a mock smile.
Just because I said tatt, doesn't give anyone of you the right to insult my wife. Logan finally said with a cold voice that sent icy chills down their spines.
What are you talking about? Mrs Emerson asked with a deep frown.
"Like I said, if you all won't respect my wife, then so be it. Don't expect me to come here ever again. " He said icely and angrily stood up.
"Why was he angry all of a sudden after saying such?" Carie wondered as she turned to look at Hannah. As though she heard her thoughts, Hannah smiled weakly.
"Finish up your meal and let's go. The reason for this visit is to discuss the introduction party. It's on three days. ". He said coldly before walking away.
Once he left, Grandma Emerson glared at Hannah hatefully.
"Leave my grandson alone". She yelled angrily before stomping out of the dinning room.
Hannah sigh heavily. She also stood up and was about to leave when Mrs Emerson spoke,
"Come with me, we need to talk. ". She said with a stern voice as she walked away from the dinning room. While Hannah slowly followed after her.
Once they left the dinning room, Mrs Emerson went to sit on the sofa. While she motioned for Hannah to sit next to her. Hannah obeyed and slowly sat next to her, her heart beating wildly in her chest. Her shoulder looked tensed.
"Relax!" Mrs Emerson said calmly observing her body language.
Hannah sigh deeply and quietly.
"I know it's hard for you to cope in our family, I know. You don't need to be scared around us. " She said with a soft tone.
"I'm not scared". Hannah lied.
You can't lie to a mother. She said calmly stretching her hand for her to hold. Hold my hand, she said.
Hannah slowly placed her hand on Mrs Emerson hand. While she clapsed it together.
"Don't be afraid. If everyone one turns their backs on you, just remember one thing, I and my husband will always be here for you. " She said and Hannah couldn't hold in the tears anymore as it slowly slid down her cheeks.
More tears kept rolling down her cheeks. This was the first time someone from the billionaire high class family is slowly opening up to her and giving her hope.
"Don't cry dear". Mrs Emerson said pulling Hannah into a hug. Hannah hugged her back tightly, as she kept crying silently.
Thank you so much ma'am for trusting me and accepting me. She said weakly as happiness washed over her face.
Mrs Emerson pulled away from her and glared at her.
Hannah became confused by her glare until it finally hit her.
"I'm so sorry mother". She said in a small voice, finding it hard to call Mrs Emerson mother. It sounds somehow.
It's fine. I know, you find it hard to call me mum, but as times goes on, you will get used to it. She said calmly.
Hannah nodded with a little smile.
"Hope Logan isn't maltreating?" Mrs Emerson asked hopefully, knowing the kind of son she has.
"No, not at all". Hannah lied.
Don't cover up for him. I trust my son won't hurt you. He is hurting, I hope you can endure, he really cares for you even if he doesn't show it. Mrs Emerson said in Logan's defense.
He punished me. Hannah finally said and Mrs Emerson pulled her in for a hug.
She stroke her back in a soft gentle manner.
"It's okay dear". I will talk to him, she said worriedly.
Hannah pulled away fearfully, no please don't. She begged weakly. Not now when Logan still plans on punishing her.
I will talk to him myself. Hannah hastily said with a persuasive voice.
