Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1499

Chapter 1499 

Jarvis asked, “You’re talking about Steven’s investment plan, right?” 

Hannah nodded, looking a bit bummed. “I have no idea why he suddenly decided to invest. Is this a good or bad thing for the locals?” 

Jarvis explained, “We’ve always lived in big cities. When we come to places like this, it’s easy to get lost in the beauty of it all, even thinking the air feels fresher. We’d want it to stay this way. But if there’s no development, the locals can’t get a better life, and they don’t have income sources beyond farming. The problem of population loss will just get worse. A large-scale population loss is never good news for any place. Steven’s investment in developing tourism can attract visitors and increase the locals’ income. For most people, this is actually a good thing.” 

Hannah looked around and said, “I hope so.” 

The village was nestled between the hill behind and the river in front. As dusk fell and smoke rose from chimneys, the village looked like a fairytale world in her 

eyes. 

Hannah was born and raised here and only left for the first time to go to college. That was when she saw the world was so much more than her village. At first, she was enchanted by the outside world. She noticed her hometown didn’t have skyscrapers and felt it was inferior. She wanted to settle in the city, leaving this poor, backward village behind. 

After struggling in the city for many years, she realized how beautiful her hometown truly was. But no matter how beautiful, if the people couldn’t even afford basic necessities, who would want to stay then?e2 

Jarvis comforted her, “Don’t worry too much. Steven’s an experienced businessman, and he sees further than you. He wouldn’t invest in something that won’t make 

money.” 

Hannah countered, “Why would I worry about him?” 

Jarvis laughed. “Did 1 say you were worried about him? You said it yourself.” 

Hannah denied, “I didn’t…” 

Jarvis continued, “I’m not clear on what’s happening between you and Steven. I can’t give you advice on getting back together. Just don’t overthink things, follow your heart.” 

Follow her heart? But what was her heart telling her? She had no idea. When she found out that after her car accident, Steven stayed by her hospital bed for over a month without leaving. At that moment, her heart softened a bit. 

But when she recalled how he treated her before, how he coldly told her she wasn’t worthy of bearing his child, that bit of softness disappeared quickly. Every time she thought of these things, her mood would plummet, so she changed the subject. “Jarvis, have you always been this talkative, or is this a recent development?” 

Jarvis laughed. “You think I’m too chatty. You should know that many people want to hear me talk, but don’t get the chance.” 

Hannah laughed heartily. “How about I treat you to a barbecue tonight?” 

Jarvis asked, “Can you barbecue?” 

Hannah replied, “I can’t, but my dad can.” 

Jarvis gave her a look. “If you want to treat me to a meal, you should be the one to cook. Having me eat your dad’s barbecue doesn’t feel very sincere.” 

Hannah replied, “My dad’s barbecue is quite famous around here, not just anyone gets to taste it. Plus, the grilled fish we’ll be eating is from the river right in front of 

Us.” 

Jarvis asked, “Is there something special about this fish?”
