Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273 Good Morning
Each word was like a petal blown by the wind, landing on the tranquil surface of a lake and gently rippling outwards in circles.
She looked up at him, her eyes brimming with a lively mirth.
Arnold Simmons’s breath hitched, almost instinctively tightening his grip.
By the time Hannah realized what was happening, a hand had already covered her eyes.
The sudden darkness made her instinctively grab for anything she could in front of her.
In the palm of her hand was a piece of extremely soft and comfortable fabric.
It was Arnold’s pajamas.
She tilted her face slightly, and the kiss landed on her cheek, carrying a higher than normal body temperature.
At the moment of touch, the warmth spread from her cheek to her earlobe.
In the darkness, she could clearly hear his heartbeat.
Each beat throbbed for her.
"Once is not enough."
The moment the lights went out, such a sentence with a suppressed, husky voice fell by her ear.
Tonight, there was a beautiful moon, but just after midnight, the moon hid behind the clouds.
The thick clouds.
By the time the sky began to lighten, a fine rain had started to fall.
Hannah turned over in her sleep and snuggled back into Arnold’s arms, leaving a soft "Mr. Simmons, good morning" by his ear.
As she spoke, her eyes remained closed, her face still flushed.
Like a hue steeped in flower petals.
Seeing her fall back into lovely dreams, Arnold smiled helplessly, kissing her soft cheek softly.
He whispered back, "Good morning."
She breathed shallowly, eyes closed.
As Arnold watched her, he couldn’t help but lower his head again to press against her soft cheek.
There was nothing else, his world only contained one Hannah.
Even that world came into being because of her.
He thought they had to be together for a lifetime.
Otherwise, he might really go crazy.

After the concert, Hannah swiftly returned to her work mode.
Previously, there were quite a few speculations that Hannah would retire and marry after the concert, settling into the life of a wealthy socialite.
But clearly, that was just the subjective conjecture of a very small minority.
Hannah accepted a new movie script, this time in collaboration with a director famous for making art films.
Although his movies didn’t have a wide audience, they always won awards until his hands were full.
Unfortunately, in today’s entertainment industry ruled by internet traffic and money, few stars and big names choose to work with him.
In the eyes of some, winning awards is good, but without popularity and internet traffic, it all counts for nothing.
What’s more, this director was famously demanding of his actors.
They needed acting chops, spiritual energy, and a natural appearance on camera, devoid of any trace of performance.
Just the first requirement alone was enough to eliminate many hopefuls.
Therefore, many were eagerly anticipating Hannah’s new film online.
However, the confidentiality of the movie was so well-maintained that no one knew the theme of the film until now.

Before filming the movie, Hannah met with Jackie Qualls for the last time.
Since his retirement a year ago, there had been sparse news about him online.
The most recent was probably the selfie that two fans posted on the day of Hannah’s concert.
Three years seemed to have left no trace on the man.
Gentle and refined, a gentleman through and through.
These are commonly used adjectives to describe Jackie Qualls, and indeed he personified them.
He had a contained air, charming manners, even as he deliberately maintained a distant and cold attitude towards others.
