After Vania said her piece, she rolled over, showing that she was really not interested in playing along with him anymore. Despite that, Hanson wouldn't let her off so easily as he leaned over and pressed his body against her firmly.
"Dear, how could you bear to do this to me? I feel so sad."
His best act was up again—feigning discomfort.
He already tasted the sweetness of this ploy; every time he used this expression, she would turn soft-hearted.
Sure enough, she couldn't bear it when she heard his tone, but right now, she told herself to bear with it because all these were part of his schemes, and she shouldn't fall for them.
"Darling?" he murmured into her ear, hoping that she would give him some sort of reaction.
Nevertheless, Vania remained indifferent, and the back of her head was the only response she offered.
"Darling." He refused to give up as he figured that it was kind of fun to keep calling her like this.
I won't answer you. Let's see what you're going to do about it, Vania thought.
"Darling… My darling…"
He called out to her a few times using different tones. If a score were composed for him, he would have started singing.
"Fine…" Out of wits, Vania sighed in resignation and rolled over again amidst Hanson's never-ending, annoying vocalization. "Darling, how far are you going to take this?"
He scratched his nose lightly and knew that it was about time to stop. So, he switched topics and said, "Darling, did you forget that there's filming for the show today?"
The second episode of 'On the Road With You' would be filmed today and it was really time to get up. Unfortunately, she was the one who overlooked this, placing this matter entirely at the back of her mind.
When she heard his reminder about the filming, she buried her head against the pillow in defeat. This time, she was the one who wanted to back out. How much is it for the breach of contract? I'll pay for it.
"Let me close my eyes for one more minute, and then I'll wake up."
This was the last resort for a person who liked to laze in bed, and she was the kind of person who didn't fancy waking up early. If she could, she would never get out of bed in the morning.
"60… 3, 2, 1…" Hanson did the countdown like an annoying mosquito. "Time's up."
"Aargh!" Resigned to her fate, Vania sat up and ran her fingers through her hair in frustration, turning her already messy hair into a frizzy mess, which resulted in her looking like a little lion.
Hanson reached out and smoothened her hair, feeling the softness of her hair on his hand, which he liked. Then, she wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned into his embrace. That was because she didn't want to move but desperately wanted to stay in bed longer.
He loosened his hold as he slightly distanced himself from her. "Darling, I can't take it if you do this. As you know, in the morning, men are…"
At the mention of this, she jumped out of his arms, threw him a wary look, and trotted into the bathroom under his watchful stare.
He followed after her—washing his face and brushing his teeth as she did hers.
Nevertheless, his arm was a constant fixture around her waist while he was freshening up.
Domineering, Vania sneered silently and couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell me straight away about this in the morning?"
Why was he so dramatic when he could have just woken her?
"That's what I wanted to do," Hanson said with a matter-of-fact tone.
After all, the filming would take two days, and he was worried that he couldn't control himself.
In front of her, the self-control that he was so proud of had always sat in the negatives. Now, he may not even be able to achieve that.
That's very honest of him, she thought, rolling her eyes at him, and she reckoned that she would be the one to suffer after the filming.
After they finished breakfast, the production crew arrived right on the dot.
"Where will we be filming today?" she asked.
