Chapter 1178: 312: Divine Doctor Token (Third Watch)_2 Chapter 1178: 312: Divine Doctor Token (Third Watch)_2 “Aunt, don’t get me wrong, I just wanted to talk to Hannah,” Steven Ram said, lowering his posture in front of Dante Parkin.

After all, the person standing in front of him was Hannah’s biological mother.

Since she gave birth to Hannah, she was no different from his own mother.

Therefore, Steven always respected Dante.

Dante squinted, lowered her voice, and warned, “Steven, I think you should know your place. If you truly cared about Hannah, you would maintain a distance from her. Instead of giving people too much to think about! It’s so late, is it appropriate for you to still be here with Hannah?”

Fearing that Steven would continue to harbor ulterior motives, Dante continued, “Steven, don’t get mad at what I’m about to say.”

At her words, Steven respectfully replied, “Please speak, Aunt.”

Dante, looking high and mighty, stared at Steven, “You and our Hannah live in different worlds, I don’t want you to influence her.”

Steven could go to great lengths to help Hannah.

But he absolutely couldn’t harbor any inappropriate thoughts towards Hannah.

The gap between the two of them was just too damn wide!

Hannah was born a little princess of the Sutton family, the successor of the Suttons.

What was Steven?

He was just a vagabond.

If it weren’t for Hannah saving him, he’d have starved or frozen to death long ago!

Steven could never be worthy of standing alongside Hannah.

He could only ever hope to serve as a chess piece.

And a chess piece should behave as such.

At her words, Steven couldn’t quite put his feelings into words.

He’d always been aware of his status.

Compared to Hannah, he wasn’t even worth the mud on the ground.

From the moment Hannah saved him,

An uncrossable chasm had formed between them.

He’d long since made an oath.

To protect Hannah with his life in this lifetime, not to defile her.

A moment later, Steven looked up at Dante, “Aunt, don’t worry, I understand what you’re saying. I don’t have any improper thoughts towards Hannah. All I want is to see her happy, and use my life to protect her.”

Dante nodded, “It’s good that you understand this.”

Just as Steven was about to say something else, Hannah came out from inside. She immediately shielded Steven behind her, her eyes full of reproach, “Mom, what are you babbling about with my senior brother?”

Some people were only playing a role.

But some took it all too seriously.

Steven quickly spoke up, “Hannah, don’t get me wrong. Your mother was just worried about why I was still awake at this hour!”

Hannah looked towards her mother, questioning, “Really?”

Her protective stance greatly touched Steven.

Before, Hannah had taken off her down jacket to warm him, ignoring her noble status. Now, she was even willing to counter her mother on his behalf.

What had he done to deserve such treatment from Hannah?

Steven felt very ashamed.

He swore to himself that he would make it up to Hannah in the future.

Dante immediately nodded, laughing, “Of course! Look at what you’re asking, my dear. Do you think I could eat your senior brother?”

Hannah followed up, “Mom, my senior brother is a good man, stop messing with him.”

Hearing this, Steven immediately explained, “Hannah, don’t get me wrong. Your mom wasn’t messing with me. She was genuinely concerned.”

Having said his piece, Steven looked at Dante Parkin and said, “Aunt, you chat with Hannah. I’m going to bed.”

“Go on then,” Dante Parkin nodded with a smile, looking kindly.

Truth be told, Steven understood Dante Parkin.

As a mother,

No one would want their daughter to marry a man like him.

He had betrayed his master and annihilated his ancestors.

He was a thoroughly bad character.

Hannah was a high-achieving graduate who had returned from studying abroad. She was intelligent and beautiful, came from a good family, and now was the head of the Sutton family.

What was he?

If he were Dante, he would also absolutely forbid Hannah to be with him.

Hannah looked at Steven, her tone soft, “Good night, Senior Brother.”

“Goodnight.”

Having said that, Steven turned and left.

Watching Steven’s back, Hannah squinted her eyes.

The darkness of the night did a great job of concealing the emotions in her eyes.

Only when she could no longer see Steven’s figure in the darkness did Hannah look at her mother and say, “Mom, let’s go inside.”

Dante nodded, following Hannah’s steps.

As they entered the house,

Dante’s gaze fell on the bird’s nest on the table, she then asked, “Is this what Steven just brought for you?”
