Chapter 1106 Coercion

"Doyle, I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind. I can't marry you," Hannah said firmly, not leaving any room for negotiation or compromise.

Doyle just looked at her with sadness in his eyes, suppressing his emotions and not letting them show.

"I appreciate everything you've done for me and the warmth you showed me when I was at my lowest point. But I don't love you. And I can't marry someone that I don't love."

She didn't want to beat around the bush or drag things out. When it came to matters of the heart, indecisiveness only caused more pain and hurt. She'd rather let Doyle be hurt once than keep hurting him over and over again by leading him on when she didn't feel the same way he did.

It was clear that Doyle was heartbroken by her rejection. His eyes were red from holding back tears as he asked, "Have you ever liked me?"

"No."

"Even when you couldn't remember everything in the past?"

"No."

Doyle seemed to smile a little bit despite his sadness as a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Hannah, it took a lot of courage for me to confess my feelings to you."

"I know," Hannah replied coldly because she knew how hard it must have been for him to take this step forward, knowing that another woman would be hurt while he would carry guilt towards this other woman forevermore. She knew how much effort Doyle had put into their relationship so far but still couldn't accept it because one-sided love never led anywhere good. Forcing oneself into a relationship could only end up hurting both involved.

"Do you like someone else?" Doyle asked suddenly.

Hannah pursed her lips before answering slowly, "No one."

"Oscar?"

"No." It was an unequivocal denial from Hannah. "No?" Doyle asked again.

"There may have been something between us once upon a time but those feelings are long gone now. There is no one else right now either, all I want is to live alone by myself. So please respect my decision." "What if I don't respect your decision?"

"That's not up for discussion either." She replied coldly.

Doyle clenched his jaw tightly. Hannah glanced at him. The best way of parting was turning around to leave without sparing any chance for them to see each other again. She was just trouble for Doyle. Doyle's and Besse's worlds without Hannah would be the best ending for everyone.

So, Hannah turned around and left. She walked away indifferently.

Although they were parting ways unfriendly, she always felt that she and Doyle were still friends. And she would still carry her blessings for him all the time. She had a completely different attitude towards Doyle and Oscar. If Doyle wouldn't do anything disappointing her greatly, that would be the case.

Hannah's footsteps suddenly came to a halt. In the crowd, several men in black suits stepped forward and directly blocked her path. At that moment, she felt Doyle walking up to her from behind and standing by her side.

"Hannah, I'm sorry, I am so selfish that I cannot let you leave," Doyle said, coldly.

Hannah gave a sarcastic laugh. Therefore, he chose to coerce her.

She turned to look at Doyle and said, "You're only making me annoyed with you, just like I am with Oscar."

"If I could be as important in your heart as Oscar, that would be nice."

Hannah's cold gaze was filled with hatred.

"I don't want to hurt you." Doyle ignored her gaze and turned around, walking away directly.

As he left, the guys in front of her came over to constrain her to leave with them.

"Don't touch me! I can walk by myself!" Hannah said.

She followed in Doyle's footsteps.

Susan and Manuel had been back in Kensbury City for a week.

This week, their daughter was no longer their daughter, but Edward's and Justine's. Since Edward and Justine were absent during the childbirth, neither were they informed, and they scolded Manuel and Susan after that. Apart from the breastfeeding time, Manuel and Susan couldn't even see their daughter, not to mention holding the baby girl.

Susan couldn't bear it anymore.

"They can make a baby by themself, instead of stealing someone else's daughter," Susan murmured to complain.

However, Susan failed to take back her daughter and she was requested to have another baby in the future. Susan looked sulky, which Manuel found a bit funny.

"Didn't you dislike your daughter? Didn't you say she was ugly?"

"That's mine too!" Susan exclaimed angrily.

"You have to understand the connection between a granddaughter and her grandparents." Manuel comforted.

"Manuel, don't you love your daughter so much? Why don't you resist?"

"Because I know resistance is futile."

"More importantly, I love you more than our daughter," Manuel said and laughed.

Susan was tempted by his bright smile. She hugged Manuel's neck and puckered her lips to kiss him. Suddenly, the door was pushed open by someone.

Susan was startled. She turned her head and saw Justine, who was standing at the door holding her daughter.

Susan wanted to swear. Justine was her enemy in this life, wasn't she?

"The baby is hungry," Justine said calmly, not feeling embarrassed while bumping into a kissing couple.

Though sulky, Susan finally let go of Manuel and started breastfeeding her daughter. She had no idea when it started, but breastfeeding had become so natural even though she was in front of Manuel and Justine. Becoming a mother would change a lot. As long as the little girl didn't cry or make a fuss, it seemed like many things could be compromised for Susan.

"Manuel, can you come out for a moment?" Justine said Manuel, who had been watching the baby eat well and had his attention focused on the baby. He was thinking of the place where the baby was suckling... At that moment, he felt kind of embarrassed and blushed a bit. But then he quickly clams down and followed his mother out of the room.

"What's wrong?" Manuel asked.

"I heard that Hannah is still alive,"

Manuel frowned, "Who told you that?"

"Your wife."

Sure enough, Susan couldn't keep a secret.

Manuel nodded, "Yes, she's currently in Jolencami, but she might come back soon."

"How is she going?"

"She's fine."

"She and Oscar..."

"The hope is not great," Manuel said frankly.

"But Oscar..."

"Doomed to a lifetime of loneliness."

"Can you let me finish my sentence?" Justine was speechless.

Manuel smiled and said, "Go ahead."

"I want to see Hannah."
