Chapter 1501
Dales’ gaze bounced between the three of them, all of whom were quite a looker. The men were tall and
handsome, and the woman was stunningly beautiful.
Something about their vibe seemed off to Dales, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. “Hannah, it’s freezing out
here today, why’d you come out? Your dad mentioned you hurt your leg. You should be chillin’ at home.”
Hannah chuckled awkwardly. “Well, staying home all day is kinda dull, so I thought I’d take a stroll.”
Dales, “And who are these two gents?”
Steven, “I’m Hannah’s husband.”
Jarvis, “I’m Hannah’s boyfriend.”
Dales was speechless. Husband and boyfriend? Did he hear that right? Or had the lingo for young folks changed so

Hannah was exasperated. What on earth were they saying! Was she supposed to lose face like this? Sure, she
wasn’t too bothered by people gossiping, but having two men around her, one claiming to be her husband and the
other her boyfriend, this was more than just gossip. She had no idea how to explain this to anyone.
Jarvis seemed to enjoy the drama, showing no intention of explaining.
Steven said, “Yes, he’s Hannah’s ‘male friend.’ We all know him. He’s here to visit Hannah. Don’t read too much into
it.”
Steven wasn’t usually one to explain, but he did this time, simply because he didn’t want any more rumors about
Hannah spreading around the village. Even if Hannah didn’t care, her aging parents would definitely be bothered by
these rumors.
Dales finally got it. “Oh, I see. I see.”

Hannah breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject. “Dales, did you catch any fish today?”
Dales proudly presented his bucket full of fish. “How could I possibly not catch any fish? If I take them to the city
tomorrow, I could easily fetch me a couple hundred bucks;
The fish from this river were quite famous. The villagers often sold their catch instead of eating it themselves.
“Dales, then sell these to me. I want my friends to try our local grilled fish.”
Dales, always the generous one, replied, “How can I charge you? If you like them, just pick a few. They’re on me.”
Hannah, “Dales, I want to buy all the fish in your bucket. I have many guests at home today, and Farley will be back
tonight.”
Dales, “I’ll bring them straight to your house for your dad. You don’t have to pay me. Your father has helped us out
a lot over the years.”

when he got home that night. “Alright, thanks a lot, Dales.”
Dales glanced at the two men. “Hannah, are your husband and your friend movie stars too? They’re as good-
looking as you.”
Hannah, “They’re not actors, they’re businessmen.”
Dales’ eyes lit up. “What kind of business?”
Steven said, “You’ll find out in a few days.”
His words were friendly, but there was an unnamable pressure in his tone. Dales took a step back, not asking any
further. “Well, you folks enjoy your day. I should head back. It’s getting late, and my wife will give me an earful if I’m
not home soon.”
Hannah, ‘Goodbye, Dales!”
After walking a few steps, Dales turned back and asked, “Hannah, what time is Farley coming home tonight?”
Hannah checked her watch. “It’s Friday today, so school gets out early. He should be home by six.”
