My Crazy Lady's

Chapter 26 (MCL)

Hanna's submissive attitude gives one confidence in Alex, that the girl has opened her heart to him.

This morning Alex presents Hanna with several books, her servant delivering a complete bouquet of flowers.

As the ministry expressed its fortuitous intentions in the presence of all family members, Catherine stared intently at Hanna, as if reminiscent of their agreement last night.

"This is from Mr. Claymore. My Lord also wanted to convey the message that he is currently on his way to London to deliver the Duchess of Claymore back to London" Catbury said, handing over the task to Jhonson's house.

Ema held her breath, there was nothing they could do. The words of a Duke are the same as the king's orders, said Alex is not just any Duke.

Hanna glanced at Catherine's sorrowful bowed face. Not yet fought, he had already lost a step.

"Send my thanks, to His Grace, but I'm sorry, I can't accept this. Please bring it back," Hanna said loudly. She did not want Catherine to think she had no standing. He has promised to keep his distance and will stay away from Alex until Catherine gets clarity.

"Hanna, what are you saying?" Ema screamed in shock. Hanna's attitude could certainly endanger their family if it reaches the Duke of Claymore.

"Why, Mama? am I wrong. I don't need a gift from His Grace. "Oh, yes, Catburry, tell His Grace that he should pay more attention to his future wife, not another girl!" Hanna bent her legs after saying that, then went to her room.

Hanna squeezes her dress. Why does he feel this sick imagine how much Alex would be disappointed because he had refused his gift.

The news of Hanna rejecting the Duke of Claymore's attention had reached the ears of all the Holy Villagers.

When Alex arrived back in the village, with a myriad of longings for Hanna, it was precisely ridicule, scorn and even insults at her status that she got.

Alex decided to stop at the club he used to go to with his friends. There he was greeted by Sebastian and Andrew and several other friends.

"You've arrived? we thought you wouldn't show up again in this village," led Sebastian to laugh and laugh with other friends.

Astonished by the source of their laughter, Alex just sat next to Sebastian with a frown. "What's this?"

"Don't tell me you don't know the big news about you?" chirps Perguson laughs. Alex immediately landed his long leg on the man's shin until his laughter stopped and turned into a groan of pain.

"Say what a joke this is, Tian!" alex's rebuke signifies that the man no longer wants to hear their jokes.

"The whole village already knows about Lady Hanna who rejected you. Even rumors say that you're a pathetic man begging for love with you, so frustrated that you want to be close to Hanna, you're willing to marry Catherine" Sebastian explained.

"Not only that, the gossip in this village already mentions you don't even have any self-respect, begging for love with her," Simon continued.

"And you need to know, the women here have looked down on your status, saying you're just a braggart, your prestige as Casanova is doubtful because it only gets Hanna, you can't afford it" andrew laughed with satisfaction. Alex was silent for a moment, stringing up every piece of trash his friends said, his jaw hardened. Now he understands, and the one person who can explain to him is the ministry before he demands an explanation from his naughty girl.

The coachman sped the horse that belonged to Alex at the command of the great lord. Alex wants to get home soon and interrogate Catburry.

"You're back, sir,"

"Stop that stale base. Tell me, what did Lady Hanna say?" Alex sat down in annoyance, stomping his shoes on the marble floor.

"Lady Hanna refused the gift, You, Your Highness" Catbury said. He knew when he would deliver this, his master would be furious. A little too much for Catbury to hate Hanna.

"Then..?" alex still wants to hear. He would strangle the woman if she played him.

"Whenever I get dressed, we'll 'visit' to the Jhonson family residence. It seemed like her eldest daughter's tongue was completely boneless!"

Ema's pale face and nervousness could not be hidden anymore, as she welcomed Alex's arrival. The woman clearly knows the reason for Alex's arrival tonight.

Likewise with Stuart, he just tried to hide his nervousness faced with Alex who had casually sat on the sofa, lifted one leg and placed on the other leg as a pedestal.

"You want to be as beautiful as coffee, my Lord? or tea goods times?" haggard Ema wrong way.

"no need. I just want to talk to Lady Hanna if I'm allowed to" she said, relaxed but full of decisiveness and power.

"He..," said Stuart.

"Sorry My Lord, Hanna is not feeling well" she said.

"really? it's a pity then," Alex pulled a knot of smiles on her lips. "Catburry, immediately send someone to pick up the family doctor to London,"

Instantly the tension throughout the nerves of Jhonson's husband and wife increased drastically. "That's not necessary, sir," said the two together.

"Of course it is necessary. You know the penalty for lying to a Duke?"

"We're sorry, sir," said Stuart. He only wanted to save his daughter from this rampage of mastery.

"You looking for me, sir?"

A thin smile curved across the lips of the arrogant man. He knew, the girl of a myriad of ideas was definitely going down. Without looking, Alex took off a mocking smile.

"I don't think you have the courage to meet me, Miss Jhonson," she said.

"Papa, mama, can you leave us both," murmured weakly Hanna. He did not want the man to later cuss in front of his parents. Let Alex anger him himself who will bear it.

"But, Han..," Ema is very worried about her daughter.

"Just calm down, Ma. I can handle it. Mom and dad leave us,"

Although heavy heart, after all, the husband and wife must go from there. Just pray for their daughter to be okay.

"I listened" said Hanna sitting gracefully in a chair right in front of Alex. Elegant, beautiful yet firm. A very liked character of the girl.

Only Hanna Jhonson could calmly deal with the Duke of Claymore's fury.

This may be a punishment from Nature, making a Claymore infatuated with this stubborn girl. Many girls willingly threw themselves at Alex, but why was the man's heart only held captive by the girl who was now firmly challenging him to kiss the ripe lips!
