Hanson deliberately said meaningfully, "What is the rush? Now that they are older, we don't need to be by their side every day."
Those children could do some scientific research when the adults were away. It might even be restrictive of the children's development if Vania and Hanson were home.
Right then, Vania had thought of over a thousand things that could happen in this quiet place in the middle of the night.
Seeing his expression becoming gradually harder to read, she bit her teeth and warned, "I will get a cab home if you are not going to drive."
She pretended to be angry as she tried to ignore the man whose head was filled with dirty thoughts.
Hanson had to suppress his smile when he got out of the car and opened the door to the passenger seat. "Get out of the car. Come with me."
She continued to sit motionless in the car and gawked at him vigilantly.
He wants to do it outside the car? I can't do this!
"I won't touch you." Hanson put a hand on his forehead. He must have pranked his wife so many times that she had stopped trusting him.
"Then tell me what we are going to do first." She looked at him without moving a muscle.
"You will know when we get there," he replied, not wanting to reveal much. It was as if he was afraid that she would not go if he told her the reason he wanted to take her.
"Can I still trust you?" She had already recalled the many times she had been tricked by him in the past. Her conscience was warning herself to never trust this man.
Not wanting to waste time on pointlessly going back and forth, Hanson unhesitantly reached out and carried her in his arms.
He then soothed her in a loving voice, "Don't worry. It is not what you think."
"What do you mean?" Vania squeaked, her tone nervous.
She would never admit that she had thought weird things.
"Okay, okay. You didn't think about anything."
He then strode ahead with her still in his arms.
It was until she saw the water lanterns on the surface of the lake that her heart began to thunder away.
She knew what the lanterns meant.
Suddenly turning serious, she looked at him and asked, "Why did you bring me here out of nowhere?"
"I know that the conversation today brought up sad memories for you." Hanson sounded somewhat wronged as he muttered, "You have never said those things to me. I wasn't even the first person to hear about it."
Indeed, he was jealous again.
He wanted to be her first no matter what.
"Can I still trust you?" She had already recalled the many times she had been tricked by him in the past. Her conscience was warning herself to never trust this man.
Because that was his way of knowing that he was the most important person to her.

Hearing that, Vania pressed a chaste kiss on his forehead. "I don't want you to know about all those depressing things. Happiness is the only thing I will ever want to share with you."
He reached out and tapped her on her nose then. "Okay. Being happy together is our priority. I hope that what I did tonight will make you forget your troubles."
"Definitely." She had stopped thinking about the things that made her sad a long time ago.
Hanson then carried her to the lanterns. "These are the water lanterns I prepared for you. You can make anything you want to say into a wish in this lantern, and put it in the lake.
"Our mother will be able to receive it that way."
Vania couldn't help being startled when she heard him say that.
Noticing her shock, Hanson glanced at her and clarified, "What are you so surprised for? We are married, you know. Of course she is my mother now as well."
"You're right." Vania nodded.
What he did really moved her.
After thinking of her mother today, Vania indeed had a lot she wanted to say.
I will make time to pay Mom a visit, she finally decided.
