Vania just didn't expect that Hanson had already helped her achieve it. Touching her delicate face, he urged, "Go on. Place the water lantern on the water."
As she held each lantern, she said different things she wanted to say to each of them. She uttered a lot of blessings before she placed the lantern down.
Vania still had the biggest lantern in her arms when she called him over. "Let's do this one together."
"Alright." He wrapped his hands over hers. "We will do it together."
After they placed the lantern, they took a long stroll around the park before returning to the villa.
Even though the children saw them come in, they kept on doing their own thing, as though they hadn't seen anyone.
Seeing this, Hanson looked to his wife. "See, they are playing amongst themselves just fine."
The children all rolled their eyes at him when they heard that. We want to play with Mommy, but you are in the way!
Hanson had been keeping Vania to himself so much everyday that the children barely had any time to even talk to her.
Just as Vania was about to rush toward them, he stretched out with one long arm and stopped her. "Darling, let's not bother the children."
He then pulled her toward the bedroom.
"Mommy never bothers us!" James huffed and the rest of the babies echoed in unison, "That's right. Mommy never bothers us." Daddy is the only one who does.
Is this a revolt? Hanson thought. He then answered on Vania's behalf, "Mommy is a little tired because she has been busy the whole day."
Hearing that, Jack looked at Vania with his puppy eyes and muttered, his tone upset, "It must have been a long day for you, Mommy. Please have a good rest."
"It is important for Mommy to rest," the other children caringly agreed with their brother.
Hanson squinted at that. What ruse is this? Is he putting on a pitiful act? It doesn't seem so, though.
Just as he thought, Vania was instantly energized after hearing her children's words. "I am not tired at all. I will keep you company."
It was true that she didn't feel tired today. Hanson taking her to cast the water lanterns earlier had only made her feel more relaxed.
Walking into the crowd of children, she asked, "What are you little nuggets doing?"
"We are designing a cake!" Jacob replied as he wanted to participate in a cooking competition that was coming up. He wouldn't want to fall behind when his brothers had already won an award.
"Mommy never bothers us!" James huffed and the rest of the babies echoed in unison, "That's right. Mommy never bothers us." Daddy is the only one who does.
Vania quickly offered, "I will design it with you guys." She had a unique perspective when it came to design.
Vania quickly offered, "I will design it with you guys." She had a unique perspective when it came to design.
"Okay," the children replied with a smile before sending a provocative look at Hanson.
Are they challenging me now? he wondered again since he really didn't have a strong footing at home.
He had no choice but to walk among them, but even though he wanted to sit beside her, he could only take a seat behind her when they couldn't make space for him.
Sticking his face to the back of her torso, he whined like an abandoned puppy, "Darling."
He kept his voice meek and soft as he hoped that she would pay attention to him. At least that way, Hanson could know that she was aware he was still here.
However, Vania and the children were so focused on a common goal that she didn't spare him a glance.
He could only continue being an abandoned puppy as he sat behind everyone else and did miscellaneous work.
It took a little more than an hour before the designing of the cake that the entire family participated in was done.
Hanson could finally let out a sigh of relief. His wife was his at last.
Vania quickly offarad, "I will dasign it with you guys." Sha had a uniqua parspactiva whan it cama to dasign.
"Okay," tha childran rapliad with a smila bafora sanding a provocativa look at Hanson.
Ara thay challanging ma now? ha wondarad again sinca ha raally didn't hava a strong footing at homa.
Ha had no choica but to walk among tham, but avan though ha wantad to sit basida har, ha could only taka a saat bahind har whan thay couldn't maka spaca for him.
Sticking his faca to tha back of har torso, ha whinad lika an abandonad puppy, "Darling."
Ha kapt his voica maak and soft as ha hopad that sha would pay attantion to him. At laast that way, Hanson could know that sha was awara ha was still hara.
Howavar, Vania and tha childran wara so focusad on a common goal that sha didn't spara him a glanca.
Ha could only continua baing an abandonad puppy as ha sat bahind avaryona alsa and did miscallanaous work.
It took a littla mora than an hour bafora tha dasigning of tha caka that tha antira family participatad in was dona.
Hanson could finally lat out a sigh of raliaf. His wifa was his at last.
