Melanie thought Hanson would disapprove of her untimely appearance, not about her appellation. Surprised and upset, she knew that it was his endeavor to draw the line with her in front of Vania.
Therefore, Melanie used Morales and Morgan as her excuse. "But the boys are coming. What if they find out that we've drifted apart? They'll be sad."
"I will explain to them by myself," retaliated Hanson icily before looking at Vania, who was sitting beside him. "I think Vania will be a better mother for them compared to you."
What? He's actually planning on telling them? Melanie was nonplussed by his decision.
Vania, who was actually their biological mother, would definitely be fit for the maternal role. However, the boys were Melanie's only leverage that she had. Thus, she could not let such the truth be told!
As her head was swarmed by colossal thoughts, she feigned sorrow. "I know you like Vania. And my blessings go all out for my sister. But don't you think that it's a rash decision? We should let the kids adapt themselves to the change. It won't be too late for you to tell them later."
Despite her deceptively sincere voice, she was in fact cursing them in her heart. The realistic acting was just a means to buy herself some time.
As long as the boys couldn't let Melanie go, it would be an opportunity for her to return to Luke Estate so that she could beg Anette. Then, she would be able to achieve her goals.
In the light of Anette's love for the two boys, it was a well-laid plan. Anette loved them so dearly that she would always fulfill their wish regardless.
Nevertheless, Hanson had no intention of giving Melanie another chance as he replied coldly, "If they can't even accept such a change, they're not my kids."
His ruthless words sent shudders down her spine. Is he going to make them accept everything without a care for their feelings?
"You should take your leave now," added Hanson as he pointed at the presents Melanie brought over. "Take those with you too."
Now that she was forced to leave, she became anxious. "I called them today and I've promised to come and fetch them. They'll be sad if I don't keep my promise."
Observing the nuance on Hanson's face, she noticed that he was a little convinced. "Even if you're going to separate us, I am still their biological mother. You can never deny that fact. Can't I talk to my kids in the future?"
Hanson ruminated for a while before turning to Vania because he wanted to know her thoughts on this matter.
His action caused Melanie to clench her teeth in fury, for the same thing that had happened in the program was recurring right now. Why does Vania always have the call to decide my life?
With a smile, Vania took a glimpse of Melanie. She's been calling me a b*tch. I guess I should act like one for her sake.
Vania voiced out her opinion in a gentle voice, "She has a point. We should take it slow sometimes. What if things get worse because of our rash decision?"
"But…" Hanson's heart ached to see her being so thoughtful. Since they were officially a couple, they should not be vague with each other. Otherwise, what was the point of the relationship?
