Chapter 1072 Relationship Progress
Hannah sat in the passenger seat, leaning against the window, watching the street scene outside. She curiously asked, "There are still seats in the car. Why aren't they coming with us?" She was referring to Stella and Randy.
Charles replied perfunctorily, "They were worried that our schedules might not align, so we took two cars to avoid any delays." His explanation was reasonable.
Hannah didn't say anything more. Instead, she leaned her head against the window, tilting her head, and looked at Charles with anticipation. "So, where are we going this time?"
The light ahead turned red, and Charles stopped the car, looking at her gently. Even his voice was soft. "Are you excited?"
Hannah nodded vigorously. "Very excited!"
For some reason, as long as she thought about going out with Charles, she felt very happy and excited. It didn't even matter where they were going. As long as Charles was with her, even just sitting in a park would make her feel content. This feeling was both strange and familiar.
Her tilted head looked extremely cute, and Charles couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair. "The trip is a bit long. You can rest for a while, and I'll wake you up when we get there."
Hannah shook her head. "I just got up, I'm not sleepy at all!"
Charles smiled, unlocked his phone, and handed it to her. "Alright, then you can look at the phone for a while. See all those apps? You can click on whatever you like."
Hannah took the phone and curiously browsed through it. "Is this a phone?"
How was it different from the one Tina gave her? The phone Tina gave her had a small screen, just a little square, with a blue background and a keyboard. Why didn't this one have a keyboard?
She remembered the last time she called Tina in Country H, it seemed to be this kind of phone.
Charles wasn't surprised by her response at all. If Hannah had used this kind of phone before, he would have found her long ago.
Tina must have known how he was looking for Hannah and knew that as long as Hannah used any device with a camera or monitoring capability, he would receive a signal.
So during the time Tina had abducted Hannah, she always gave her the oldest model of phone without a camera.
If he guessed correctly, Tina probably didn't even dare to give Hannah a phone. It must have been only at specific times, and only when Tina was nearby, that she allowed Hannah to use it. As for what it was used for, he had no idea.
"This is called a smart touchscreen phone. You just tap on the screen! To exit, just swipe up."
Hannah followed his instructions. The phone responded quickly, without any lag.
Although it was her first time using a smartphone, she handled it very smoothly, as if she instinctively knew how to operate it, almost without needing much instruction from Charles.
Soon, Hannah found a movie with an interesting title and clicked on it. The movie started.
Hannah thought for a moment and asked Charles, "Do you want to watch? How about I put the phone in the middle so we can both watch? You can take a look during red lights, so it won't be so boring."
Charles replied, "No need. I'll connect it to the car's screen via Bluetooth, and we can watch it together."
"What?" Hannah didn't understand and looked at him in confusion.
Charles pulled over, took the phone from her, and did something. Soon, the movie playing on the phone appeared on the car's display screen.
Hannah was amazed. "That's so cool! It connected without any wires."
Charles started the car, paying attention to the road while patiently explaining, "There's something called Bluetooth now. It connects without data cables!"
"Got it!" Hannah nodded, somewhat understanding, and leaned back in her seat to watch the movie seriously.
Charles added, "If you get tired of sitting, there's a button under your right seat. You can recline the seat and watch while lying down."
Hannah tried pressing it and found that the seat really started to recline.
Since coming here, many things had exceeded her understanding. She felt like someone from ancient times, knowing nothing but learning everything quickly.
Hannah adjusted herself to the most comfortable position, and Charles somehow produced a small pillow for her to rest her head on.
Hannah closed her eyes comfortably. So enjoyable! She found herself increasingly adapting to Charles's thoughtfulness and gentleness. And when she was with him, she felt very secure and comfortable, not scared at all.
Hannah didn't know what movie she had clicked on. She just found the title interesting, so she clicked on it.
The content seemed pretty good too. The male and female leads met in an orphanage. The little boy didn't speak at first, and the other kids in the orphanage always bullied him.
The little girl always protected the little boy, and they formed a deep friendship, promising to be adopted together.
Then, an influenza outbreak occurred, and all the kids in the orphanage got infected with high fevers.
At that time, the little boy's parents found him and took him away.
The little boy, in his daze, asked his parents to adopt the little girl too. But the parents adopted the wrong girl, adopting another little girl instead.
When the little boy recovered, he found out his parents had adopted the wrong girl. When he went back to find the little girl, she had already been adopted by someone else.
They missed each other due to a series of misunderstandings. The little boy spent years looking for the little girl.
Years later, the little boy became a business tycoon, and the little girl became a celebrity. They met at a party.
The female celebrity was tricked by her manager into accompanying someone for drinks and couldn't get away, getting drunk in the process.
The tycoon arrived later and immediately recognized the female celebrity as the little girl from back then. He successfully rescued her from the group. Naturally, they ended up together.
Although it was a low-budget film, and the lack of funds made the production quite simple, the acting was excellent. Especially the sexual tension between the male and female leads, the atmosphere was intense.
Hannah watched with great interest. But as she watched, she felt something was off. The male and female leads started making love.
Both actors were very dedicated, not skimping on their performance just because it was a low-budget film. Their kissing was passionate.
The male lead pressed the female lead onto the bed. The room was dimly lit, creating an ambiguous atmosphere. Ragged breathing and the sounds of kissing and moaning filled the confined car space, rising and falling clearly.
