Free Web NovelChapter 1329: Chapter 1324: Betting It All on Hannah Hargrave
As he walked out of the ward, Harry Zachary’s smile vanished, replaced by a touch of coldness.
He couldn’t guarantee that Nicholas Croft would eventually let him off, but he knew that if he were prosecuted for drug possession, he’d be eating prison food for the rest of his life.
He’s still young, not even thirty, in the prime of his life. So he needed to take a gamble for the sake of his future, and Hannah Hargrave could only become his wager.
After leaving the hospital, Harry Zachary called a photographer from the company to borrow a camera and headed to the Hargrave Family’s villa.
It was dinner time after work hours, and Josephine Hawthorne was busy with something at the dining table. She looked up in surprise when she saw Harry Zachary come in.
"Harry? What brings you here? Where’s Hannah? Who’s taking care of her?" freēwēbnovel.com
Harry Zachary approached with a smile, "Mr. Hargrave said I don’t need to keep watch."
"What about dinner? I was just about to send you some." Josephine Hawthorne held a food box, with two already packed in a bag.
"No need, Mr. Hargrave has already eaten."
Harry Zachary pulled a chair, placed the camera he was carrying on the dining table, and sat down unceremoniously. Henry Hargrave wasn’t in the living room; it was unclear whether the nanny had taken him out for a walk or if he was in his room.
"Oh, have you eaten?"
Josephine Hawthorne took the food boxes out of the bag again. Harry Zachary, looking at the dishes on the table, picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a bite, "Not yet, I’m just hungry."
"Oh, then eat up while it’s hot. It tastes good."
Josephine Hawthorne also sat down, turning back to shout into the kitchen, "Mrs. Xu, bring some more plates and chopsticks!"
Mrs. Xu brought out a set of plates and chopsticks, and Josephine Hawthorne and Harry Zachary sat across from each other, eating dinner like family. Josephine kept helping Harry Zachary with food and kept nagging, "If I knew you were coming, I’d have had the kitchen make some nourishing soup."
Harry Zachary lifted his gaze, a sly smile playing on his lips, "No worries, even without nourishing soup, I can still make you scream."
"What are you saying?" Josephine Hawthorne feigned displeasure, gazing at Harry Zachary with affection.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Harry Zachary, holding his bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, leaned across the table, lowering his voice deliberately, his eyes full of mischief.
"Do you know how wild you sounded beneath me? I should have recorded it to show you."
"Say that again, and I won’t let you eat." Josephine Hawthorne, both bashful and angry, stuffed a piece of meat into Harry Zachary’s mouth. He chewed, raising an eyebrow, "Would you really?"
"You’re impossible!" Josephine Hawthorne pretended to be upset, wrinkling her nose. The act of trying to look cute by an older woman was quite off-putting.
After dinner, Josephine finally noticed the machine Harry Zachary had placed on the dining table.
"What’s this?"
Harry Zachary glanced over, feigning mystery, "This is something good."
"Something good?" Josephine Hawthorne curiously looked it over, "Isn’t this a camera!" freёwebnovel.com
"Congratulations, you got it right."
Harry Zachary leaned back in his chair, unconsciously tapping the table with one hand.
Josephine Hawthorne looked up at him, "What are you doing with this here?"
"Didn’t I just tell you?" Harry Zachary winked playfully, "To record your wild side."
"You!"
Josephine Hawthorne pretended to be upset, biting her lip, but deep down she felt a hint of anticipation. She had heard that young people nowadays like to record intimate moments to watch together later, which seemed quite romantic.
"What? Don’t you like it? It’s trendy now, and I hear it can even spice things up," Harry Zachary leaned in, his lowered voice dripping with suggestion.
