Vania shook her head when she heard that. "It is just something sad from the past."
Hearing that, Liam continued asking, "Can I know more about your mother?" He sounded like he was pleading.
Vania was already so similar to the people of his family, which was why he had a feeling that her mother would resemble them even more.
But as soon as he uttered those words, Vania was visibly frozen, and even Hanson had furrowed his eyebrows.
Vania had never talked about her mother.
Hanson, who knew that it was a thorn in her heart, felt his heart break as he looked at his woman.
Seeing her slightly tensed expression, Liam let out a bitter smile. "It is alright if you don't tell me," he assured. "But I really don't mean any harm."
Hanson immediately grumbled to himself, You mean no harm, but you don't have good intentions either.
He kept thinking that Liam was using the opportunity to seduce Vania.
But on second thought, what was there for him to be afraid of when he and she already had children together?
Thinking of this, Hanson came to the conclusion that Liam wasn't his match.
It later turned out that he was wrong…
For some reason, Vania felt upset looking at Liam's sad face. She felt that he was somewhat similar to her mother.
"Alright," she unexpectedly announced. "What do you want to know?"
She then threw her head back as she downed her glass of red wine.
Her words made Hanson stunned. He didn't think that she was willing to talk about it.
Liam, too, was surprised as he didn't think she would agree.
"You can tell me anything you want."
Hearing that, she pressed her lips into a tight line, and only brought up her father's infidelity.
Liam sighed after listening to her story. As if he was hearing about his elder sister, he felt pain and sadness hit him.
When Bryan noticed how gloomy the atmosphere had gotten, he tried to calm everyone down. "Let's not talk about something so sad."
"Yeah." Jennifer nodded as well.
"It is all my fault for bringing up such a depressing topic from the get-go." Liam blamed himself then before he turned to Bryan. "How is filming going? Any thoughts? Go home and visit Grandpa when you are free."
"Mm." Bryan nodded. "It won't be long till I have a break. I will head home then."
Even though he always wanted to run away from home before, it was hard not to miss home after being away for some time.
He continued to boast confidently with his chin up. "The filming is better this time around. I may even win the best actor award again."
"Alright," she unexpectedly announced. "What do you want to know?"
Jennifer immediately pursed her lips at his words. "Cut down on the big-talk, will you?" she reprimanded.
Jennifer immediately pursed her lips at his words. "Cut down on the big-talk, will you?" she reprimanded.
"You have to believe me, Jennifer. I wasn't talking big! Didn't I win the award last time?"
The atmosphere soon eased up when everyone was amused by the bickering between the two.
At the same time, Thomas was in a state of shock after he was taken away by Yvonne.
Hesitantly, he asked, "Yvie, why did you make a decision like this today?"
In his mind, he thought that she would immediately agree to have dinner together in order to approach Hanson.
It didn't make sense how she would miss such a good opportunity.
She only sneered and asked in return, "What? Were you hoping I would join them for dinner?"
"Of course not!" Thomas answered truthfully.
After all, they already knew how awkward it would be to force them all to eat together.
"Then isn't my decision just what everyone wants?" Yvonne didn't have a trace of emotion on her face as she spoke.
"You're suddenly over it?" Thomas gaped at Yvonne in disbelief.
He was starting to not understand his sister's every move and word.
