Even Samuel, who was normally so composed and rarely laughed out loud, couldn't help but chuckle after hearing the exchange.
He brought a fist to his mouth, trying to regain his composure for a moment before saying, "Lionel, just look at yourself. Why couldn't you just leave things be? Why did you have to come here asking for a beating and a lecture?"
"Lionel, you must be a masochist, right? If not, I honestly have no idea what's wrong with you," Cherry said, taking several deep breaths to force herself to stop laughing.
Otherwise, her cheeks were going to start cramping.
"Lionel, I've answered your questions. Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
Hannah looked at Lionel with calm indifference.
Although the handprint on his face was undeniably comical, she was too furious at that moment to find any humor in it.
"Hannah, you…"
"Me what? That I hit you?"
"That I insulted you?"
"That I wouldn't let you in and answered your questions right here, humiliating you?"
"That I shouldn't have done that?"
"That I really want to divorce you?"
"That I really don't care who the leak is?"
Hannah decided to rattle off every possible thing Lionel might say, cutting off all his avenues of argument.
After all, besides those complaints, Hannah couldn't imagine what else Lionel could possibly have to say.
