Elliot also requested the waiter bring a glass of juice and a plate of freshly cut chilled fruits.
Then, he sat down next to Sheena, attentively serving and feeding her.
"Nana, just wait for ten minutes. It'll be over soon."
Elliot had effortlessly arranged everything.
Noah and Hannah stood in place, stunned by his actions.
Hannah remarked, "Mr. Jenkins is such a pro in romance. Look at how skillfully he attends to Sheena. No wonder she's so in love with him. There are probably few women in the world who can resist such a perfect husband."
Noah sensed envy in her words.
Driven by a deep-seated refusal to be outdone, he took Hannah's hand and said, "Soon enough, you'll have a perfect husband too."
He guided Hannah to a lounge chair and imitated Elliot's actions, sitting beside her obediently and carefully peeling grapes for her.
Hannah observed his awkward yet earnest gestures, stealing glances at Elliot and Sheena nearby.
It was clear he was determined to learn how to pamper her.
Moved by Noah's sincere efforts, Hannah's heart swelled with affection.
While Noah was focused on peeling grapes, Hannah leaned in and planted a kiss on his forehead.
"I think… letting you pursue me for a year is too long, and I can't wait any longer. When we return from this trip, I want…"
Hannah wanted their relationship to progress further.
Yet, before she could finish her sentence, Noah interrupted her.
He stared at her in shock and responded firmly, "No. We agreed on me pursuing you for a year, and I can't give up halfway. I can't let you think I'm a man of empty promises, and the same goes for you, Hannah. You promised to give me a chance."
Hannah's enthusiasm was dampened by his words, her lips twitching in disbelief.
"What…"
Hannah was taken aback at how ignorant Noah could be.
How could he not tell she was talking about speeding up their marriage?
"Hannah, you can't change your mind. We agreed that I would pursue you for a year, and I won't stop for even a day less. I'll do my best."

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
