He truly despised Samuel. The man had a sharp tongue and never held back, firing off insults one after another.
Moreover, he was fiercely protective of Hannah. If anything hurt her, he would be the first to step up, defend her, and speak on her behalf.
“Well, well, looks like I got here at an inconvenient time. Don’t tell me you two are almost done talking. Hannah, really, next time something this good happens, you should call me sooner. No matter how busy, tired, or overworked I am, if you say the word, I’ll be here in a flash.”
He jogged over, slightly out of breath, and sat down. After a few deep breaths, he grabbed a cup of coffee from the table and took a large gulp.
His eyes danced with a mischievous glint as he looked at Lionel. He didn't say anything more, just waited quietly for the show to begin.
“Lionel was apologizing to me. He said he took it upon himself to transfer Tess, but Tess refused. Tess already told me about it. Sandra was the one who advised him to come and apologize, and he obediently did just that.”
Hearing this, Samuel raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked at Lionel.
“What an obedient man you are. How come you were never this obedient to Hannah?”
He feigned a look of curiosity, then suddenly seemed to remember something. “Oh, that's right. It wasn't just in the past. Even now, you don't listen to Hannah. Sandra tells you to come, and you come running. But when Hannah tells you to sign the divorce papers, you refuse. You claim to love her, but in reality, you're still hung up on that other woman.”
Lionel immediately retorted, “Those are two completely different things. You can't mix them up. Besides, I was wrong to transfer Tess without consulting anyone. I realized my mistake. I just didn't know what to do, and it was Sandra who suggested I come and apologize to you.”
This was exactly why he hated Samuel. The topic had been moving on, but he just had to drag it back.
If he kept this up, it would only make Hannah hate him even more.
