Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 492

Chapter 496

The woman continued, "Hanson, it really is you. Long time no see." Her tone had a sense of familiarity in it, and it was mixed with the joy of reunion.

In particular, her passionate gaze caused Vania to feel certain disdain.

She had just said that Hanson's face was alluring, and now someone really popped up. Vania smiled nonetheless and put on a pleasant expression.

When the woman saw Vania's brilliant smile, she was amazed at her beauty.

"Hubby, won't you make the introductions?" Vania, who had been staying away from Hanson, deliberately went closer to him on purpose. She placed her hand on his arm as she looked at him smilingly.

Upon closer inspection, there was a hint of anger in her gaze.

However, when she called Hanson 'darling', everyone present was dumbfounded.

Hanson instantly froze right on the spot, and the heat on his arm immediately spread throughout his whole body.

This was his first time hearing Vania call his name in such a gentle manner. He could barely resist it; even if Vania asked for his life right then, he would comply without hesitation.

The woman was even more shocked as she looked at Vania in disbelief. "Y-You're married?"

She looked at Hanson, clearly shaken.

The sorrow in her eyes could not fool anyone, and she looked like she had been abandoned.

When he heard her question, Hanson recovered from his shock. He kept a steady gaze at Vania, reluctant to look away.

He didn't answer the woman's question as he made the introductions as requested by Vania, "This is Thomas Kepler's sister, Yvonne Kepler."

Then, he finally removed his gaze from Vania and said to Yvonne, "This is my wife, Vania Greyson."

When he said that, he even pulled Vania into his embrace; it seemed like he was worried that she might escape, and his voice was unusually gentle.

Yvonne smiled graciously at Hanson.

However, she could barely hide the disappointment in her heart. Whenever he introduced her, he would say that she was Thomas' sister. Could he not see her as an independent entity?

Or was he worried that someone might misunderstand?

Even his tone was extremely distant. If he could call her name so gently like how he called Vania, then perhaps she would faint in happiness.

When Yvonne looked at Vania now, the enmity in her eyes was even more obvious than before. However, she still took the initiative to greet Vania by saying, "Hello."

Vania nodded a little lazily as if she didn't care at all. "Hello." Those syllables obviously sounded distant.

The Kepler Family was also prestigious in Hammond, and they had been in the military field for generations now.

Thomas was Hanson's good friend, but since he usually worked in the army, he rarely came back.

Meanwhile, Yvonne was a celebrity, but she had been expanding her horizons overseas. As such, she wasn't quite popular in the local scene.

With her position as a Kepler, though, she had enough power to do as she wished in the entertainment field.

However, when Vania heard of Yvonne's identity, her expression was indifferent. She was neither surprised nor impressed. Her expression was also unexpected for Yvonne, who grew even more curious about the other woman.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Greyson. Perhaps you still haven't quite understood my relationship with Hanson, but it's okay. We'll have more chances to meet in the future, and you'll understand it someday."

Vania raised an eyebrow. She felt 'oh-so-scared' to see someone showing such hostility during their first meeting.

"Ah, you're right. We do have plenty of time for you to clearly understand my relationship with Hanson as well."

Of course, she knew to do unto others what they did unto her. Vania didn't have to do much other than return Yvonne's words right back to her.

With that comeback, Yvonne felt momentarily defeated. She didn't want to look bad in front of Hanson, so she turned to look at him, behaving like she had been hurt. "We haven't met in five years, right? I never thought that the change would be this great."
