Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 253

Hanson had become picky in his food, as he no longer had an appetite for dishes that were not made by Vania.

Then, Vania went to the kitchen with the other five people there following closely behind. With how her children were all grabbing her by the hems of her clothes, she was limited in what she could do. She facepalmed before she snapped at them. "I want all of you to wait in the living room. Otherwise, no one will be allowed to eat."

After they heard her words, the children made eye contact with Hanson as none of them was willing to leave the kitchen. However, they all lost their determination and walked out of the kitchen at a slow pace, as they saw Vania's serious expression. When the children passed Hanson by, he learned from their example earlier and grumbled at them.

Without them being in Vania's way, she handily made a hearty dinner.

Hanson and the four little ones immediately got up from the dining table to help Vania when they saw she was done cooking. With everyone's help, the dinner was set and ready in no time at all.

During the meal, Vania had to balance between personally giving food to her babies and Hanson due to how jealous one over the other would be. Although she lamented the situation, she considered it an opportunity to get used to being a mother of five instead.

After the superficially harmonious and jealousy-ridden meal, Vania told the four little ones a bedtime story before returning to her room. Unexpectedly, she found Hanson waiting for her on the sofa in

her room. Curious, she asked, "What's wrong? Something on your mind?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Hanson nodded before he gestured for Vania to sit by his side.

With her eyes on him, she sat beside him as an indication that he could tell her what was on his mind.

After a moment's hesitation, Hanson asked, "Uh… It's about your ex…" Feeling that he was somewhat inappropriate, he corrected himself. "It's about the children's father…" After he said that, he suddenly felt like laughing at himself as he caught himself actually caring about such a thing, especially when it involved some stranger.

However, since he had brought it up, he wanted to know about the children's situation and continued awkwardly, "What kind of person is he?"

Vania became flabbergasted and didn't know where to even begin explaining, as she hadn't expected Hanson would suddenly bring this up. After all, she had no idea what kind of person the children's father was since she didn't even know who their father was in the first place. Hanging her head slightly, she shook her head rather awkwardly. Suddenly, she was filled with worries that Hanson would be disgusted with her after finding out the truth about her, but she still put her answer into words. "I don't know."

Seeing the woman shaking her head, Hanson wanted to tell her that it was fine to drop it if she did not want to talk about it.

However, before he could say anything, she continued, "Actually, it was an accident. That's why I don't know who their father is. But, I decided to keep them since the children are innocent in all this. Don't you think I've made the right decision? They're all such good children, right?"

Hanson nodded as he never expected Vania to have such a past. "Would it be okay to tell me more? I might be able to help you with this."

With a gentle smile as though she had gotten over this matter, she said, "You should know that Melanie and I are half-siblings. When my family was arranging a marriage with the Jones Family, they wanted to marry me off to the Jones Family's son. However, I was framed by him and Melanie, and got disowned by my family later. But now, I don't mind all those things. It's fine the way things are now. Perhaps I should give my thanks to them as well since without them setting me up that way, I would never have had my lovely babies."
