Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 360

Chapter 364

The six children nodded at once. "We'll be alright on our own."

Hanson praised them, "Since you're such good children, I'll grant each of you a wish. You can give it some thought and let me know during breakfast tomorrow."

"Yay! You're awesome, Daddy!" Morales and Morgan cheered.

However, the other four children were a little more standoffish with him. Though their minds were running wild with possibilities, they kept silent.

The more Hanson spent time with them, the fonder he was of them. He did not try to call their bluff. "You guys go ahead and play."

"Okay." The six children left together.

Vania headed back to her room once she saw them leave.

As soon as she closed the door, Hanson said with a wide smile, "Your hand is injured, so I'll help you shower."

What? Hanson wants to help me shower?

Vania was tempted to throw him over her shoulder.

"What's going on in that head of yours?" Vania asked.

Hanson did not think that there was anything wrong with his idea. "It's been a long day, so wouldn't it be good to take a shower and nap comfortably?"

It was a good idea, but Vania felt that if Hanson helped her with the shower, she would not be napping anytime soon.

Therefore, she rejected his offer with every fiber of her being. "No thanks."

That did not stop Hanson. "We'll shower together then."

The audacity! Does he have no shame? Vania thought to herself. She raised her fists and punched the air. "Would you like to try your luck and see if I'll kick you out of the room?"

Hanson thought about Vania's over-the-shoulder move and asked curiously, "When did you learn to fight?"

She had done it with great ease which meant that she received a lot of training.

"The past five years." She learned to fight so that she could protect herself. For the sake of the children, she had to become a jack of all trades.

"You're amazing," Hanson said as he stroked her hair gently. She was the most remarkable woman he had ever met.

"If I'm not amazing, how would I be able to keep up with the illustrious President Luke?" Vania commented teasingly.

"I'm pretty amazing indeed." Hanson laughed. This was especially true when it came to certain things. The children were proof of that.

Vania did not know that her words had taken on a different meaning in Hanson's mind. She said, "I'm really tired. I need to rest."

Hanson graciously let her off the hook this time. "Okay, I'll stay here with you and get some work done."

Vania knew that Hanson was a man of his word, so she fell asleep peacefully.

When he saw that she was sound asleep, he plucked a strand of her hair and tucked it away carefully.

Then, he continued reading his documents as if nothing happened.

Meanwhile, Melanie's plan was all set. Everything was in place, so now all she needed to do was inform Dylan to carry out his part of the plan.

However, even after calling him for a whole hour, he still did not pick up the phone. Soon after that, Melanie's phone battery died, and she slammed her phone down on the table.

"What now?" Josie asked.

"Dylan's not picking up his phone," Melanie fumed.

"And here I thought it was something serious. Can't you just wait and call him a little later?" Josie thought nothing of it. It was normal for someone to miss a call every now and then. Dylan might just be busy with something right now.

"I've been calling him for an entire hour now. What could he possibly be busy with?"

Josie frowned. "I'll get someone to look into it."

Melanie continued to dial Dylan's number, but all she heard was the robotic voice saying, "The number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment."
