My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 318

The moment the words left the man’s lips, Samuel was the first to let out a sharp bark of laughter. He shot a look at Hannah, jerking his head toward the world-class liar standing behind her.

Hannah sighed and gave a helpless shrug, silently communicating that she didn’t understand how the man had such thick skin either. If it were her, she could never bring herself to say something so brazen. It just went to show, people destined for great things had a certain shamelessness about them; anyone else would have already found a hole to crawl into.

Though Lionel couldn’t see their expressions, he could tell from their stifled movements that they were mocking him. He lowered his deep-set eyes, a flicker of irritation clouding his brow.

“Ah, is that so? Well, you and Ms. Woods are a perfect match, truly made for each other. It’s only a matter of time, I’m sure. When the wedding bells ring, you must remember to send me an invitation!” the man said, offering one last sycophantic remark before scurrying away.

Samuel had planned to ignore him, but the opportunity was just too good to pass up. He spun around, his voice dripping with faux sincerity.

“Oh, Mr. Rosenberg! When you and Ms. Woods finally tie the knot and throw that grand banquet, you simply must invite me! I know we don’t know each other well, but I’m close with Hannah—I’m her cousin, you see. My sister and I will be sure to get you a huge gift. We wish you and Ms. Woods a lifetime of happiness and a whole brood of kids!”

Samuel didn’t bother to lower his voice, and his announcement immediately drew the attention of those nearby, who swarmed over to offer their own congratulations.

“This is wonderful news! Congratulations, Mr. Rosenberg!”

“Yes, I heard rumors of your engagement to Ms. Woods three years ago. I can’t believe it’s really happening! You must let us share in your joy!”

“Congratulations, Mr. Rosenberg! When is the big day?”

“I saw all those videos of you two trending online. The love you have for Ms. Woods is impossible to hide. Anyone with eyes can see it!”

“Absolutely!”
