“Hannah! “


    Lydia and Grace, dressed alike, bounded towards Hannah and took their seats beside her.


    Carrying their bags, Brayden followed suit, settling across from them.


    Grace, gripping Hannah’s arm, scanned the area, puzzled.


    “Where’s my brother?” she asked.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Hannah hadn’t reached out to Bryson.


    Perhaps he hadn’t told her about his departure because he was tied up with something.


    Consequently, Hannah chose not to disturb him at that moment.


    Instead, she quickly found a reason and said in a dismissive tone, “Let’s have a girls’ day out shopping.


    ”


    “Sure,” Grace agreed without hesitation, nodding, “You’re right.


    My brother isn’t fond of shopping.


    ”


    Across from them, Brayden interjected, “I’m a guy too.


    Why should I tag along for shopping?”


    Lydia shot him a stern look.


    “What’s the problem? Don’t you want to apany me?”


    Instantly, Brayden’s demeanor softened, and he shed a grin at Lydia.


    “Of course not! It would be my pleasure to carry your bags!”


    Pleased, Lydia responded with a smile, “That’s more Like it!”


    During their shopping trip, Hannah was noticeably distracted.


    While the others were busy picking out jewelry, she rarely chimed in, instead sitting quietly, her thoughts elsewhere.


    “Hannah!”


    The sound of her name snapped her back to reality.


    Lydia extended her hand towards Hannah and inquired, “What’s on your mind?”


    “What?” Hannah’s gaze locked onto Lydia’s fingers as she asked, “Could you repeat what you just asked?”


    “Do you prefer this pink diamond or the sapphire?” Lydia questioned, fluttering the two rings on her fingers in front of Hannah.


    “The pink diamond looks better on you,” Hannah responded, eyeing the rings.


    “It matches the dress I designed for you perfectly.


    ”


    Reflecting on her bespoke dress, Lydia agreed, “You’re right, how did I overlook that? You’re so dependable.


    ”


    She then turned to the saleswoman to have the pink diamond ring boxed.


    Spotting Grace browsing curiously nearby, Lydia looked back at Hannah and probed, “You seem distracted today.


    What’s going on?”


    “It’s nothing.


    Just tired, I guess.
