Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1493

Chapter 1493 

Ever since she was a kid, Pandora had schooled Hannah not to just accept gifts from others willy-nilly. These guys weren’t exactly her buddies, so she’d definitely refuse. She said, “I appreciate the thought, but you can take all this stuff back home. My old man has already bought a ton of supplements for me, enough to last me a lifetime.” 

Kate piped up, “Are those store-bought supplements as good as our homegrown chicken? City folks are dying to get their hands on our chickens, but they can’t. Just take it, will ya?” 

Hannah shot back, “Really, there’s no need!” 

But no one took her seriously. They just dumped their gifts, in her yard and told her, “Just take it, will ya? We’re all part of the Ableson clan. We’re family.” 

Hannah responded, “Kate, really, there’s no need.” She was alone against a tidal wave of their enthusiasm.

Suddenly, a voice cut through, “What the hell are you guys doing?” 

It was the village chief. He was one of the guys responsible for hosting Steven today.e2 

They were showing Steven around the area and hadn’t planned on stopping by the old Ableson place, but Steven decided on a whim to drop by. As soon as they arrived, they found a crowd gathered in Hannah’s front yard. Worried about the impression this would leave on Steven, they said, “If you’ve got nothing to do, go home. Stop loafing around.” 

Steven noticed the things in their hands his eyebrows furrowing. He commented, “They probably know who I am and are trying to bribe me, huh?” 

The village chief was taken aback. “President Dixon, we haven’t revealed your identity. How could this be? Please don’t overthink it.” 

Steven chuckled. “I know you didn’t. Because I met most folks here yesterday.” 

The village chief asked, “You’ve met them?” 

Steven replied, “You probably don’t know. This place belonged to my father-in-law. My wife came home for a rest recently, and I came with her, looking for a project to invest in to spend some time.” 

Hearing this, the village chief was shocked because he heard Steven talking about looking for an investment like it’s some entertainment. This was truly a rich man’s world, something ordinary folks probably couldn’t understand. 

The village chief quickly gestured to his secretary to get things arranged, then said to Steven, “Turns out the Ableson family brought such a huge investment. If our folks in Higgins Village live a better life in the future, we must thank the Ableson family.” 

Steven just smiled, not saying a word. He, indeed, was here to invest because of Hannah.But that wasn’t the only reason. 

He saw the rich tourism resources here, but due to its remote location and poor transportation, not many people knew about this place. After his investment, he’d first fix the roads, then send professionals to develop the tourism resources, and then heavily advertise. Soon, this place could become a famous tourist spot. The village chief then said, “President Dixon, I see Ms. Hannah is in the yard. Do you want to say hi?” 

Steven said, “You guys get rid of these gifts first. No more sending stuff to bother my wife.” 

The chief replied, “Alright.” 

The secretary stepped forward, and with a few words, got those who were unwilling to leave to go. Their gifts were not delivered, and everyone was uneasy, fearing Steven would give them trouble. 

Some people left reluctantly, looking back at every step. They hoped Steven would be more forgiving, but no one dared to speak up. 

The villagers dispersed, and the noise ceased. Hannah finally noticed Steven not far away. She only glanced at him, then shifted her gaze, preparing to close the yard gate.
