"Mommy, don't worry about it. We will inform you immediately if there's any news about her." Jacob comforted her.
"Yeah, Mommy. You should go get some rest," Jude assured her.
"Mommy, you should go rest. There are already dark eye circles under your eye." Morales touched her eye as his heart ached for her.
Morgan nudged Vania and told her, "Mommy, go get some rest. You really look tired."
"Alright, Mommy will listen to all of you." She immediately agreed to do so, fearing that they would continue questioning her since she couldn't tell them that Hanson was the one who wore her out and made her look like that.
Meanwhile, Hanson, who was seated at the side, observed Vania, who was interacting with the children peculiarly. His head was filled with thoughts about the costumes that she didn't get to wear as he'd bought a lot of them. He imagined how she would look in the bunny costume. His breath quickened as he was lost in reverie.
As Vania looked over at Hanson, who was sitting still with a smirk on his face, she instantly knew what was going through his mind. She shot a glare at the good-for-nothing man, not knowing that he had just earned a hundred million. When Hanson noticed her glare, he laughed gleefully instead of toning it down. The speechless Vania sighed helplessly. She thought that she needed to give him some task to complete as an idle brain was the devil's workshop.
"Follow me." She waved at him.
"Okay." He just followed behind her heedlessly as he was still immersed in his reverie.
When they entered the study, she pressed on his shoulder and let him sit on the chair before placing a stack of documents in front of him. "You can start working now." She was more used to the workaholic Hanson instead of the smutty Hanson.
"Hmm?" He glanced at the documents and at Vania again. "Darling, since I'm a patient, I don't think I'm fit to work."
"Outsiders might not know the truth, but I do." She was telling him not to gain her sympathy by using the excuse of him being a sick patient since she wouldn't be fooled by it.
Knowing that the excuse wouldn't work on her, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "But it's already past working hours, so I really shouldn't be working now." He meant that he shouldn't spend his rest time on work, especially if he was going to rest with his wife.
Hearing that, Vania was surprised as he used to be a workaholic who would rather work during this rest time.
"Oh? Are you saying that what you've done previously was wrong?"
"It's not that big of a deal." He didn't want to admit that he was just looking for an excuse.
"What do you mean?"
"After some careful consideration, I've decided that I shouldn't stay up late to work since my health is more important." Work was just secondary since his health was more important.
Of course, sleeping with Vania would be the most important thing, and that should come first.
