Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 252

Chapter 253 Closer

The four of them immediately collected themselves from their unnatural expressions.

Jack said, "I was thinking about what you've said before. I couldn't understand you before, but I get it now. Everyone has their problems."

James nodded with a frown. "Thank you."

As this was the first time they said a heartfelt thanks to another, they thought that they should try to understand the Devil before them.

Hanson laughed. "There's no need to be so polite with me. As long as you all are willing to learn, then I shall teach you anytime."

Instantly, their eyes lit up before they said expectantly, "Really?"

"Of course. Why would I lie to you?"

Because you've lied to Mommy before, they thought.

Despite his thoughts, James replied, "Because you have sons of your own too."

"You have a point." Hanson nodded. "Perhaps you all would be very good friends," he added as he had a strong feeling that they would be friends given time.

James nodded his head old fashionably. "I do hope so."

"So, have we come to an understanding?" Hanson asked in an attempt to change the topic.

Hence, James and Jack stopped the tit-for-tat with Hanson and nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes." Their answer proved that they had a newfound understanding of the book. They met Hanson's eyes with a new purpose and shine in their eyes.

Hanson was taken aback, as he hadn't expected the four of them to look at him with such a complicated gaze. Feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, he unconsciously asked, "Have we met before this?"

"Nope," they answered firmly without skipping a beat. After all, they were all sent away the moment they were born. Hanson couldn't have met them before this.

Looking at the children having such a big reaction even though they were fine mere moments ago, Hanson became suspicious. Perhaps there was something that happened between us. Something I don't know, he thought. Just as he was about to question the children, he heard the door opening. Taking one glance at his watch, he knew that it was Vania who had just returned. Seems like she's earlier today.

When they heard Vania's voice, the four of them rushed over and surrounded her. "Mommy, you're back," they all said with joy.

With his train of thought derailed, Hanson went over to Vania and followed the children's example by sweetly saying, "You're back." As though he was a husband waiting for his wife's return.

Embarrassed by his tender gaze, Vania only nodded at him before she turned her attention to her babies. "Did you guys get along today?" She had been worried sick for the past two days, as she was afraid the house would get torn down by Hanson and her little brats when she went to work.

"We're getting along great. We even studied together, didn't we?" Hanson answered of his own accord and turned his eyes to the children for confirmation.

In front of Vania, the four of them grumbled, albeit with pride, while ignoring Hanson's question, as they would never want to admit he was right.

Looking at how her babies reacted so pridefully, Vania already knew the situation. To think they would study together, she thought. Thinking to reward them for this, she asked, "What do you all want to eat tonight? I have time to personally prepare dinner for you guys."

Upon Vania's question, all of their eyes lit up.

With how all of them reacted the same way, Vania thought she had gone senile for a moment.

Although it was only several times did Hanson partake in Vania's cooking, he had become accustomed to her cooking.
