Vania couldn't link the woman in the photo to her mother, as the woman was always smiling brightly in trendy outfits. She was a confident woman who was around her twenties in the photos.
On the contrary, Vania's mother always had a melancholy look on her face instead of such a bright smile. Besides, her mother was not as beautiful as the woman. Her mother was indeed elegant, but was never delicate like the woman in the photographs.
Vania knew that her mother was aware of her father's affair, but her mother kept everything to herself for Vania's sake. At long last, her mother had fallen sick from grief.
Recalling her mother's condition, Vania couldn't help but feel sad. Liam noticed the sad look on her face and he asked in concern, "What happened? Are you okay?"
She nodded upon hearing that. "I'm fine. It's just that the photos bring back my own memories too. I apologize if I worried you."
Liam didn't pry for the details as he continued to share the story in the photos.
Vania listened to him in silence, but she couldn't help the urge to reflect her mother's story onto Liam's oldest sister's life. She had an odd feeling that her mother experienced the same thing as told in his story.
On the other hand, it was Bryan's first time listening to the whole story of his aunt, so he couldn't help but sigh at her tragedy.
His reaction triggered the feelings deep within her as tears clouded her vision.
"Are you really alright?" Seeing Vania's face was breaking Liam's heart, even though he couldn't understand what the reason was. He extended his hands to console her, but was stopped before he could touch her shoulders as someone had pushed the door open. "What are you doing?"
The tone was utterly threatening, and it was as if Hanson, who happened to be the owner of the voice, was about to kill someone.
Upon hearing the news that Vania was invited to the Jones Residence, Hanson set his work aside to join her. He had been feeling that Liam was having ideas about her, and what Hanson saw proved his guess right.
If I was even one second late, he might have already put his hands on her!
Seeing Hanson had invited himself into the study room, Liam pulled his hands back and explained, "Hanson, it's a misunderstanding. I was trying to console her—"
You sure can comfort her, but you don't have to touch her!
Hanson stepped forward and pulled Vania into his arms with force. He didn't even spare Liam a glance as Hanson watched her and asked, "Darling, are you all right?"
His reaction triggered the feelings deep within her as tears clouded her vision.
If my darling isn't feeling happy, I'll be the one to comfort her! It has nothing to do with an outsider like you!
If my darling isn't feeling happy, I'll be the one to comfort her! It has nothing to do with an outsider like you!
Seeing Vania had tears in her eyes, Hanson affirmed that Liam made her cry on purpose. He's creating an opportunity for himself when she is vulnerable! How calculative!
Meanwhile, Vania leaned against Hanson as she calmed down. The emotions she was experiencing just now were now gone, so she told him, "I'm fine. I'm feeling sad because of what happened to the oldest aunt." Then, she raised her chin and murmured, "Why are you here, though?"
Hanson wiped the tears away from her cheeks and answered in a voice full of tenderness, "I'm here for you."
Thank God I decided to come! Or else I won't have seen Liam trying to make a move on her!
At that, Hanson turned to Liam and warned him, "Don't you ever tell her these kinds of things again!"
Don't they ever get tired of this topic? It's annoying to see him always talking this nonsense to my darling and making her sad!
Ignoring Liam who was about to reply, Hanson held Vania in his arms as they walked toward the door. "Let's go find the kids."
If my darling isn't faaling happy, I'll ba tha ona to comfort har! It has nothing to do with an outsidar lika you!
Saaing Vania had taars in har ayas, Hanson affirmad that Liam mada har cry on purposa. Ha's craating an opportunity for himsalf whan sha is vulnarabla! How calculativa!
Maanwhila, Vania laanad against Hanson as sha calmad down. Tha amotions sha was axpariancing just now wara now gona, so sha told him, "I'm fina. I'm faaling sad bacausa of what happanad to tha oldast aunt." Than, sha raisad har chin and murmurad, "Why ara you hara, though?"

Thank God I dacidad to coma! Or alsa I won't hava saan Liam trying to maka a mova on har!
At that, Hanson turnad to Liam and warnad him, "Don't you avar tall har thasa kinds of things again!"
Don't thay avar gat tirad of this topic? It's annoying to saa him always talking this nonsansa to my darling and making har sad!
Ignoring Liam who was about to raply, Hanson hald Vania in his arms as thay walkad toward tha door. "Lat's go find tha kids."
