Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 534

Chapter 538

"Yes. Right away." Bailey tucked the file away and left the room.

"A minute," Eddie stopped him. "I have a plan. Do as I say."

Oh, that is a good plan. "Nice plan, sir. That'll work this time." They had been lying low for years just to take Hanson down. They managed to make it this far thanks to the resources left behind by Eddie's father. They spent a lot of time and effort, but they still couldn't grow powerful enough to go against Hanson. They had to do it the roundabout way, but just because of a slip-up from Melanie and Lilith, most of their efforts had gone to waste. They had no other way to bring Hanson down now.

…

Vania waited for her kids outside the school gates after the final school bell rang. Suddenly, a young child ran into her. "Ow!" Vania looked down. Oh, it's a little girl. She said, "Are you alright, girl?"

"I'm alright," the girl said softly and looked up at Vania.

Vania froze up and almost tripped on herself.

Hanson held her and looked at the girl, then he frowned. She looks like Vania. Her eyes, lips, nose, and face all resemble Vania, but it's odd for a girl to look so… grown up. And she has a stiff look too. Almost like she can't make any other expression.

"Don't go so fast, honey." A gentle voice rang out, breaking Vania's train of thoughts.

She looked back and saw a slender woman in a light-blue dress coming over. Her hair tumbled over her shoulders, and her features were well-defined. She was as gentle as her voice.

"Mommy," the girl called out to the woman.

The woman held her hand and looked at Vania. "I'm sorry she ran around so recklessly. Are you alright?"

Vania nodded. "I'm fine." She looked at the girl with concern. "What about you? Are you alright?"

"I'm alright, lady. Thanks for asking." The girl had a really cute voice. Vania couldn't possibly dislike her.

Vania looked at her and smiled. "That's good to hear."

The woman smiled as well. "Sorry if we disturbed you."

"It's alright." Vania didn't mind.

"Say bye-bye to the mister and lady, Tilly." She held the girl in her arms. Vania thought they didn't look alike at all.

"Bye, mister. Bye, lady." Tilly waved her hand.

The woman nodded at them with a smile and left with the child, though she looked back a moment later, still smiling. This time, she was looking at Hanson.

The child had gotten Vania's attention, and now the woman's smile made her curious. She asked, "You know her?"

Hanson was still frowning. "No." This is odd.

"But she was looking at you weird." And her smile unnerves me.

"Don't you think this is surprising?" Hanson stared at Vania. "The child…"

"Looks like me, doesn't she?" Vania said calmly. "More than Lily does."

Hanson nodded. "What do you feel about her?"

"That woman is her mother. You heard it too." She was saying she didn't feel anything for the girl.
