Her Seven Little Bodyguards
Chapter 861

Chapter 861

Thomas didn't mind, or should he say he welcomed such activities. That way, he would have more opportunities to meet Vania.

"Okay, I'll be waiting, Thomas."

After this matter was decided, he seemed to be in higher spirits, so he allowed Liam to drop him home.

The moment they returned home to Haling Villa, Hanson pulled Vania into his arms, startling her.

"What are you doing?" Does he have to be in such a hurry? I don't even have the time to wash up?

"Darling, is your memory failing you? Did you already forget the thing you promised me this morning?"

Vania blinked at him before she recalled that she had promised him a reward in the morning. Nevertheless, she couldn't help but huff at the cheeks of this guy to ask for a reward when he embarrassed her at the restaurant earlier. Nice try, she thought.

Naturally, he noticed her change in expression as he quickly coaxed, "Case by case, dear. You can't compare them to each other."

Vania snorted. "So, based on what you said, I can settle the score with you first and then reward you?"

"What score?" he repeated innocently as though he didn't take part in teasing her earlier.

A sarcastic chuckle escaped Vania's lips. This jerk's acting skills are improving, she thought and reminded him, "Don't you think that you deserve a punishment from me after what you did in the restaurant today?"

"Oh, that's what you mean." He exclaimed as though he had finally realized what she was getting at, "But why don't I remember that as a punishment?" Then, he lamented, "Darling, your memory is really deteriorating. When we were in the restaurant, you clearly said that we're going to enjoy it when we're alone."

His words made her utterly flabbergasted. Why did I damn myself? I'm really suffering the retributions of my own doings, falling into a trap I set for myself.

He smirked as he stared at her shocked expression. "Well, it seems I don't have to prompt you this time."

She couldn't think of a biting retort and couldn't help but wonder if it was too late for her to feign forgetfulness now.

Nevertheless, he ignored her emotional roller-coaster as he gestured with two fingers to show the number two.

"Darling, would you like to choose one out of two or add both together?"

"I choose neither but does it even help if I say no?" she refuted.

Hanson shook his head. "Of course, it's useless."

"Why did you bother asking me, then?" she said huffily.

In comparison to Vania's frustration, he was overjoyed. "I have to ask for your opinion when it concerns the both of us."

"Heh," she sneered in response.

Her opinion was as good as nothing, so he did not need to bother asking.

She threw him a glare from the corners of her eyes, waiting for him to start flirting, but he didn't.

He was still busy thinking over his options; he even asked for her advice with a straight face, "Darling, should I experience it one by one or enjoy everything today?"

"You'll overstuff yourself if you have too much," she snapped.

He dismissed the hostility in her voice like water off a duck's back and nodded in agreement. "You're right, my darling. We'll have the first one today, then."

He's counting the times for this? she thought, wholly exasperated. It seems like he has chosen the reward. The edge of her eyes twitched, and she truly wished she could give him a taste of her fist as his reward.

"Dear, it's not a good habit to have violent thoughts."

Is he reading my mind again? I can't keep any secrets from him anymore!

Vania, whose thoughts had been read like a book by Hanson, could only submit to his whims.
