Now that he was done, Fabiola couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter.
All that time when she had been living a worry-free life, he had been trying his very best just to get closer to her… And despite all that…
Pursing her lips, she ended up muttering, “…You’re a fool… Still, it makes me wonder what would’ve happened if you hadn’t seen my picture back then…”
“Well, I would’ve still majored in R&D and begun work in your father’s lab, so… Meeting you would only be a matter of time…” muttered Hanley as he recalled all the hardships he had undergone just to get to this point.
He still recalled his first proper meeting with Zivon during the Robinson Group’s annual dinner… It hadn’t been by chance. Far from it, in fact. The truth was, Zivon had always made sure to pay close attention to those interested in Fabiola… and by then, he had already known about Hanley’s crush on her. Alas, Young Master Burton was not an easily pleased man…
To test him, Zivon had sent him to northern Burma to survive on his own for ages… and once he succeeded, he was then thrown into a raging battlefield in Africa! That wasn’t the last place he was sent to either! Though the tests had been arduous, Hanley only feared one thing… And that was never being able to meet Fabiola again.
Thankfully, he survived, and he was finally given the chance to return to Darlsbury six entire months later…
It had been snowing that day, and when he finally saw Zivon again at the airport, he immediately assumed that he was about to be sent somewhere else… But to his surprise, Zivon had a smile on his face as he said, “…Congratulations on passing your tests… Now then… Riddle me this. Are you willing to help Fabiola grow?”
