The kids refused to condone Hanson's smugness, so they asked, "It's now daytime, so you shouldn't be afraid anymore, right?"
Jacob piped up too, "You can get out of Mommy's room now."
Hanson pointed to the items on the ground and relayed the fact to the four of them, "From now on, this is our room."
Subsequently, Hanson leaned back in bed, and he looked quite relaxed there.
The four of them looked at Hanson being at ease in the room, and they crossed their arms before jumping into bed too.
James spoke up, "We'll stay here to keep you company."
Jack nodded, "That's right. There are so many of us here, so I'm sure you won't feel afraid with all of us around."
The four of them kept their eyes intently on him, and they were quite wary of him making any over-the-top actions.
Hanson kept his eyes on the four of them as well. The five of them seemed to be channeling a battle.
Meanwhile, Vania looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help the restless feeling that arose within her.
She quickly went forward and tried to diffuse the situation. "That's enough, darlings. Let's not get upset with a patient."
As soon as the four of them realized that Vania seemed to be trying to stand up for Hanson, they instantly turned to look at Vania with anger on their faces.
Vania felt slightly awkward, so she quickly changed the topic. "I'll go and prepare breakfast for everyone." She quickly fled the battlefield upon saying that.

Although Vania left the room, neither of the four kids nor Hanson wanted to make the first move.
They continued to stare at each other as before. James scrutinized Hanson for quite some time before voicing out solemnly, like a fatherly figure, "Tell me what's the situation between the two of you." As James spoke, he reached out and pointed to the ring around Hanson's finger.
Hanson stretched out his finger smugly and looked at it. He was obviously quite pleased as he spoke, "It's exactly as you guys imagined. I've officially confessed my feelings toward your mommy and we're now in a relationship." As Hanson said that, he generously displayed his ring to the four kids. "How do you find it? It looks great, huh? Your mommy likes it very much."
They snorted without giving their comments.
However, they couldn't help remarking snidely upon seeing his smug expression, "Don't forget that we've still got an ongoing evaluation on you."
Hanson nodded. "Sure, I won't forget about that."
As he spoke, he lamented, "My wife's very blessed to have the four of you."
However, the four of them disregarded his praise, and they spoke up with a grimace, "What did you just say?"
Did he just address Mommy as his wife?! Instantly, anger welled up within the four of them.
He had made the mistake of saying the wrong thing. After all, it was unwise of him to behave affectionately all of a sudden in front of the four jealous little ones.
He quickly voiced out, "Hehe, I'm just getting used to the endearment beforehand."
The four of them snorted coldly once again and glared at him warningly.
James spoke up once again, "How's the progress with your investigation into that matter?"
Evidently, James was referring to the destruction of the house and the adverse effect on Bella.
Hanson's expression reverted to his usual cold look, and he nodded at the four of them. "It's all under control. Right now, we'll just have to wait for the other person to make a move."
As Hanson spoke, there was a ferocious look that flashed across his eyes. "However, there is no need to feel anxious because our goal is to entice the enemy into our trap and then round up all of them once and for all."
James nodded approvingly. "We must make sure that Mommy's kept safe. The same incident must not happen again."
Hanson nodded and ruffled James' hair. "I know what to do."
