Hope It's Not Too Late to Love
Chapter 865

Chapter 865

Where's that President Luke who had little to say? Vania wondered. She also felt that Hanson was the typical type of person who had barely anything to say before outsiders but would definitely start blurting all sorts of nonsense when no one was around.

"Oh... Should I think of a way so that my wife will fall in love with me again? I can't just allow her to ignore me," Hanson mumbled, acting as though he was merely making a comment to himself, but everything he said was meant for her ears.

Although her eyes were closed, her mind was full of activities; every time Hanson said something, she would snap back at him, albeit in the safe confines of her mind.

When she heard that he wanted to come up with ways so that she wouldn't ignore him, she knew that he was going to lay his hands on her again, and her body stiffened in response.

As she expected, this man started to get fresh with her.

She couldn't take it anymore, so she finally snapped her eyes wide open. "What exactly do you want?"

The wakeful look in her eyes showed that she wasn't sleepy at all, and he chuckled inwardly.

However, on the surface, he appeared aggrieved that his wife was mean to him. "Darling, you're awake? Why are you so mean to me?"

He played his part as a pitiful yet wronged victim so well that he seemed just like a child that had been misunderstood.

Hmph, continue acting all you want, she thought, momentarily struck dumb by his daring. Did this guy suddenly turn into an actor overnight? Why is he so dramatic? He even asked me if I was awake! Does he think that I can really sleep with him nattering about? Forget the fact that he woke me up; he even said that I was mean to him. Why do I have the feeling that he's laughing at me secretly?

Her hunch was correct because he indeed had a rather difficult time suppressing his howling laughter when he saw that she was grumpy.

When she didn't answer him, he continued whining, "Darling..."

His voice was so cheesy that it sent goosebumps all over Vania's body, and she thought she had definitely switched roles with him. Now, she felt that she was the male lead who had to deal with this 'little temptress' so early in the morning.

She rubbed the spot between her brows in frustration as she pointed outside the window. "Would you just look at the color of the sky outside? Are you really doing this to me so early in the morning?"

The male lead should speak as a lead character should.

He took a look outside and then turned to her in bafflement. "Darling, we have blackout curtains in the room. How were you able to see outside? I can't see anything."

"I have x-ray vision," she snapped with a frayed temper. Isn't there a gap between the curtains? Take a look through it!

She had the habit of leaving a small gap at the end of the curtain before going to bed. She did this so that she could check the situation outside the instant she opened her eyes.

"But I'm not as great as you, darling." He shrugged as he played his innocent part to the end.

"Fine." She sighed and softened her tone. "So, what exactly do you want to do?"

She was so troubled by him that she couldn't even hold on to her temper anymore.

"I told you that I want your second promise."

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he sounded, as though he would burst into tears any second.

"Hold it," she interjected.

It seemed that his acting was going a little too far, and Vania felt that she must have woken up so early that her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Otherwise, why would a grown man act like a phony goody-two-shoes?

She closed her eyes for a second and opened them again, just in time to catch the wily smirk on Hanson's face.

Finally, everything is right with the world, she thought. But, as she could not wriggle her way out of this mess, she sighed, "We'll meet in between and do it at night, okay?"

Did he even know that waking up this early would ruin her entire day?

Hanson shook his head and turned her down. "No."

By now, she really had enough. "If you continue like this, I'll really get mad and ignore you!"

Why couldn't she reason with him? This man had always loved her, right? So what was going on with him today that he was being so dramatic?
