Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 244

Chapter 245

Vania took a while to come to her senses before pondering in her mind, Is this guy really that weak? Then, she gave Hanson another probing look as she wanted to know whether his injuries were genuine.

Meeting the four kids' gaze of scrutiny, Hanson explained with a somewhat hurt expression, "I was badly wounded, so your mom went with me for a checkup. Just ask her if you guys don't believe me."

"Geez," the four kids responded. How childish of him to pull such a face as a grown-up! Believing him for the time being, they stopped eyeing him with scrutiny.

Jack said haughtily, "Well, in that case, just leave as soon as you finish your meal."

Jacob nodded in agreement. "Jack is right. It's really improper for a man like you to stay here." Even if he really wants to stay, there's a different price for that.

Jack nodded. "That's right. Treating you to breakfast is already the best we can do."

However, Hanson immediately interrupted them to say, "I'm afraid that's not possible."

The four kids were just about to turn around and leave when they heard Hanson say so. "Hmm?" Immediately, they stopped in their tracks and turned to look at him simultaneously, as if to ask him what his words meant.

Hanson explained unhurriedly, "The doctor said that I can't touch anything with this hand of mine for a month."

The four kids were dumbstruck at once. They looked at Hanson, wanting to see what kind of barefaced exaggeration he could make. Even Vania blinked her eyes at this moment. What does he mean? Don't tell me he means he wants to stay in our place for a month. She and the four kids waited for his reply.

He nodded under their stare without feeling guilty in the slightest. "That's right. I'm afraid I'll be staying here for the next month. Thanks for letting me stay at your place."

The instant these shocking words came out of his mouth, Vania and her four kids were stupefied; they stared at him motionlessly as if they had been struck by lightning. No way! How can he stay here for a month? Well, I'm indebted to him because he got injured in order to save me, but he can't keep staying here. If word gets out about this, what will that make of me? thought Vania. Unable to accept such a reason for their 'cohabitation,' she had opposition written all over her face.

Coming to his senses, Jack asked in refusal, "Can't your servants take care of you?"

Hanson replied, "My servants have been on leave since a week ago. They had to go home to harvest the wheat crops. If you don't believe me, just head to the Luke Estate anytime to ask about it."

James eyed him with incredulity. "Is there such a coincidence?"

"Yeah, such a coincidence does exist."

If Finley and Georgina—both of whom were busy working their butts off in the Luke Estate's villa—were to know this, they would probably say, "Since when do we have wheat crops at home? Why don't we know that?"

Jacob refused him as well and insisted, "Still, that won't do." The Devil hasn't even paid for the breakfast yet, and now he wants to stay in our home? No chance.

Vania nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that's right. It's really inconvenient for a man like you to stay here with me."

Hanson glanced at the five people before him. Feeling that there was no way he could win if he kept on arguing with them, he had no choice but to fish for sympathy. "Do you guys really have the heart to let me go back alone?" he said while pointing at them. Then, before Vania could speak, he shouted, "Ouch, my hand! It hurts so much…"

Seeing how he screamed all of a sudden, she immediately came forward to check on him. "Are you alright?"

He replied, "It hurts whenever I try to move my hand." In other words, he was saying that he couldn't move.

The four kids were stunned. To think that he'd pull off such a trick!

She let out a sigh, not knowing how she should explain the situation to him at this moment. The four kids also felt sorry for him when they saw how he grimaced with pain.
