Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 211

The ten million he paid was merely enough to have a meal as he was not allowed to even look at his surroundings. All of a sudden, he felt like he had gotten the short end of the stick.

Jacob offered greedily, "It's good that you're aware. If you want to do other things, you have to be charged separately."

Hanson hurriedly grasped his wallet; he could tell that these children regarded him as a foolish squanderer and wanted to rob him of a huge amount of money. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the bathroom door opening. In an instant, all of them stopped talking and acted as if they were getting along. Even if they pretended to be peaceful and amiable, they had already fought many times out of Vania's sight.

Due to Hanson's presence, Vania was courteous enough to not stay in the bathroom for too long and she quickly washed up before coming out. As she saw them sitting face to face with each other accompanied by a nervous atmosphere, she was afraid that they had another dispute, so she asked suspiciously, "What are you guys up to?"

"Mommy, we were waiting for you." Jacob tilted his head and spoke softly; his attitude was a complete change from the disdainful way he treated Hanson.

Jack acted naturally and added, "He brought us toys and we were just talking about it."

James nodded along, indicating that his younger brothers were right, and the four babies remained

calm as if nothing had happened earlier. Hanson sighed inwardly while feeling extremely powerless as he watched the children. He did not expect them to switch their attitudes so skillfully.

Hence, Hanson could only nod along and look at Vania. "Yes, they're right."

If one listened closely, they would be able to trace a hint of hurt in his voice.

When they saw how Hanson attempted to act pitiful in front of their mother, the four babies immediately stood in front of Vania to block his view. There would be no charming or pitying involved as long as they were here.

Jacob immediately grabbed her hand for dinner. "Mommy, let's hurry up and eat." Once they were done with their meal, they could chase the Devil away.

Facing the two-faced children, Hanson could only shake his head with a smile. He really did not expect to ever be swayed by these children. However, what he did not know was that there would be a fifth, sixth, and seventh child in the future.

Seeing that they had already walked to the dining hall, Hanson took the initiative to follow behind them. When he saw the lavish dinner presented on the table, he suddenly felt a little hungry.

Vania did not ignore his presence and so invited him. "Have a seat."

The two adults sat down face to face while the children sat next to them as if they were a happy family. Finally, she took a closer look at Hanson's face and saw that there was a bluish tint underneath his eyes; there was already some stubble growing on his chin even though they had only missed seeing each other for a day. She recalled his promise to stay with her yesterday and thus, concluded that he must have stayed up all night.

While feeling a pang in her heart, she handed him the cutlery without waiting for him to ask. "Try it. Theresa's cooking is lovely and the children even helped her today. You're in luck."

Although it was his first proper visit, Hanson was happy to try the food that the children personally took part in making. He felt pleased as he looked at their expressions. However, the children felt extremely unhappy.

James immediately preached to Hanson, "Do it yourself."

It was one thing to eat the dinner they had personally prepared, but he even dared to make their mother prepare his cutlery. He really was getting too comfortable.

After receiving the clear instruction, he immediately cooperated with James and picked up his plate and cutlery by himself. Vania was aware that her children did not like him, but she only maintained a smile without saying much.
