Hannah was waiting for Selina's answer.
Selina found it odd. This Miss Hill acted all gentle and polite with everyone else—so why was there such an edge to the way she spoke to her?
Most people, when hearing the word "stepmother," would react with either delight or fury.
If it were Kyle here instead of her, he probably would've punched someone already.
Did Hannah not realize that? No—she understood it perfectly. That's why she wasn't provoking Kyle, but Selina.
Joe was moved by Hannah's words. "That's right, Selina, I and your Aunt Hill…"
"You're overthinking it. Why would I care?"
Selina suddenly curved her lips into a smile. "My name's not even on the Morris Family household registry. Does Chairman Morris really need my permission to get married?"
Joe opened his mouth, but Selina cut in again. "Besides…"
She couldn't help but laugh lightly.
