Chapter 1569
Pandora clapped the lid on the pot, then slowly said, “Hannah is my daughter. I don’t want her to earn a lot of money for me, nor do I want her to marry a rich guy. The only thing I wish for her is happiness.”
Steven said, “I was wrong about Hannah before. I’ve realized how wrong I was. Don’t worry. I will treat Hannah well in the future and rjever let her down.”
Pandora retorted, “Actions speak louder than words.”
Steven responded, “Then I’ll stop with the sweet talk. I’ll treat Hannah well with my actions. If I ever make Hannah suffer again, I’ll apologize to you and Jeo myself.”
Pandora warned, “If you ever mistreat Hannah again, her father and I won’t wait for your apology. We’ll come after you ourselves.”
Steven assured, “Don’t worry, I won’t give you or Jeo that chance. I’ll take good care of you, Jep, and Farley.”
Pandora said, “You’re not my son. You don’t have to treat me well. As long as you’re good to Hannah, you’re good to our entire family.”e2
Steven just nodded.
Aunt Ableson’s voice echoed from the kitchen door, “Pandora, someone has delivered a truck full of holiday groceries. They say it’s for your family.”
Pandora thought she had misheard, “A truck full of groceries?”
Aunt Ableson confirmed, “Yes, a whole truckload. The truck couldn’t fit through the village entrance, so it’s parked outside. Everyone in the village has gone to see.”
A whole truckload. Other than Steven, Pandora couldn’t think of anyone else she knew who could afford such extravagance. She turned to Steven, who promptly confessed, “I did arrange for the delivery. It’s not anything expensive, just everyday items.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Pandora said, “Money doesn’t grow on trees. As long as you’re kind to Hannah in the future, you’re welcome in our home. You don’t need to bring any gifts.”
Steven agreed, “Okay, accept this delivery, and I won’t send any more in the future.”
Since the items had already been delivered to their doorstep, it would be a waste not to accept them.
Pandora decided to accept the delivery. “You watch the stove for me. I’ll go out and have a look.”
Steven nodded, “Okay.”
Even though the CEO of Dixon Group was now tending to a traditional stove, he took it seriously and didn’t slack off.
Pandora hurriedly walked out of the courtyard. She saw Rick leading a group of people, each holding a box. Some boxes were heavy, and some were light.
In one word, there were many.
The villagers also followed them, all gathering around to watch.
Rick, walking in front, greeted Pandora when he saw her, “Pandora, these gifts were carefully selected by Mr. Dixon for your family. Please accept them.” The villagers craned their necks to see, but dared not get too close. When Farley was bitten by a dog last time and Hannah’s family refused to
compromise on capturing Roger, the villagers realized that Hannah’s family was not to be trifled with. Since then, few villagers dared to visit their house.
Pandora didn’t want to be treated like a spectacle, so she quickly made way, “Please bring the boxes into the courtyard.”
Rick was the first to enter the courtyard, looking around, “If we pile all the stuff from the truck in the courtyard, you’ll still have to move it into the house. How about we bring everything inside?”
Pandora thought for a moment and agreed, “Okay, we have an empty room on the first floor. It would be great if you could move into that room.”
Rick said, “Sure thing. It’s my privilege to be able to help your family.”
Pandora thanked him, “Then, please help us. I’ll prepare some extra dishes. If you don’t mind, you can have lunch at our place before you leave
Rick declined the offer, “You don’t need to go through the trouble. These workers are on the job, and since it’s the holiday, I’ve paid them triple their usual wages.”
Even so, Pandora prepared drinks for everyone. But after the workers had neatly stacked the goods in the house, they left.
