Chapter 586 A Certified Jerk
Andrew was not able to sleep that night just thinking about Alveena. He knew how painful it was for her to witness him kissing Hannah.
He didn\'t mean to hurt her but Hannah just suddenly kissed him in front of Alveena. On impulse, Andrew gently pushed Hannah away but it was too late.
He could only watch Alveena and Brandon running away from them. Andrew didn\'t know what to feel at that moment. He was aware that he broke her heart again and he hated himself for that.
He could no longer pretend or act like he was okay. He was about to confront Hannah but she avoided it. She changed the topic, feigning ignorance.
She didn\'t let Andrew speak. Since the mood was already ruined they decided to go back to Andrew\'s room. Hannah didn\'t mention anything. She didn\'t even ask him why he acted like that.
Andrew and Hannah slept on the same bed. For the first time, Andrew felt awkward that he couldn\'t bring himself to cuddle her.
When Hannah fell asleep, Andrew got up. He went to the beachfront just listening to the waves as he watched the night sky.
He wanted to see Alveena but he thought it would be unfair to Hannah. She was just sleeping in his room. How could he see Alveena? He was not certain if Alveena would still want to see him after what she had witnessed.
Andrew felt like his heart and mind were drowning. He felt helpless as he didn\'t know what to do anymore.
How did this happen? How did everything turn out like this? He messed everything over and over again.
"Congratulations Andrew for becoming a certified jerk," He mumbled to himself as he smiled bitterly.
*****
The next morning, Andrew and Alveena didn\'t get to see each other before leaving the resort. Andrew was feeling so down.
Hannah was not talking to him either. She pretended to sleep the whole time. She had a nagging feeling that Andrew was about to confront her and tell her something but she didn\'t give him an opportunity.
But Hannah\'s plan of asking Andrew to register their marriage didn\'t change. She would try to convince her once they arrived in the City of Empire.
She was afraid that Andrew would change his mind. She felt threatened seeing Andrew\'s strange behavior lately. He was slowly changing.
After several hours, they were finally back in the City of Empire. The Family Davis Chauffeur picked them up from the airport.
"Andrew, what is your plan today?" Hannah asked him.
"Nothing. I think I\'m gonna visit my family and stay at the Davis Family Mansion tonight. I also heard that my cousins, Mark and Daniel, were staying there in the meantime."
Hannah nodded her head. She was contemplating whether this was the right time to bring up the topic about their marriage. But she couldn\'t delay it further.
Hannah grabbed Andrew\'s hand and wrapped it around her shoulder. Then she leaned her back on his chest. They were sitting comfortably in the back passenger seat.
"Andrew, I am thinking… What if we register our marriage tomorrow, just like what Tristan and Lillie did before? We can move the wedding ceremony next year but we can register our marriage now."
Andrew was at a loss for words when he heard that. He didn\'t expect that Hannah would suggest this to him.
"I think we don\'t need to delay things. We\'ve been in a relationship for more than six years. We already made love like a husband and wife."
"Maybe it is the right time to become official. Besides, I don\'t care about the grand wedding ceremony. I just want to be with you, Andrew, and become your wife."
Andrew was still tongue-tied. He should be happy, right? Since the woman he loved the most before was suggesting to tie the knot with him already. But why did his heart feel different?
"Andrew, let\'s register our marriage tomorrow," Hannah said to him, not allowing him to refuse.
"Hannah, can you give me time to think about this first?" Andrew finally found his voice.
Hannah looked up, meeting his eyes. Her eyes became teary.
"Why, Andrew? Don\'t you love me anymore? Are you hesitating to marry me now? Are you tired of me now?"
Andrew was taken aback hearing those words from her. He had lost his ability to speak once again.
Hannah\'s tears began to fall from the corners of her eyes. She could no longer hold them. Last night, she also cried several times when she woke up, not seeing Andrew beside her.
She felt empty and lonely. She thought Andrew came out to see Alveena. Hannah went out of Andrew\'s room to find him.
She felt relieved when she saw Andrew lying on the sand alone. There was no sign of Alveena. She watched him silently.
When she made sure that Andrew had no intention of seeing Alveena, Hannah went back to their room.
Andrew just wiped Hannah\'s tears. He didn\'t want to see her cry. But he was not certain about his feelings anymore. He was also confused.
He pulled Hannah into a hug, trying to comfort her. Then Alveena popped up in his mind again. Every time Alveena would cry because of him, he was not there to comfort her.
"Please give me time, Hannah. I don\'t want to rush things."
Andrew felt sorry and guilty for Hannah. He committed a grave sin to both Alveena and Hannah. He was so selfish.
He cheated on Hannah behind her back since he wanted to be with Alveena but when Hannah came to see him, he neglected Alveena, thus hurting her once again.
One way or another, he would still end up hurting the two women. And now, he felt like he was being punished a thousand times knowing that Alveena and Hannah were crying because of him.
Those two women were both special to him. He already had done something he could never change.
\'Damn you, Andrew! You are a jerk! A scumbag! How did you end up like this?! You don\'t deserve any of their love.\' Andrew cursed himself inwardly.
\'I think I need someone to talk to about this or else, I\'m going nuts just thinking about the mess I have done.\'
Then someone popped up in his mind, his brother, Tristan.
