Her Seven Little Bodyguards

He was smiling from ear to ear when he got into the driver’s seat and started the car engine.

Both of them were sitting in an enclosed space quietly, and Vania felt slightly uneasy. She asked, “Are you feeling better now? Didn’t you tell me yesterday that you’d need a long time for your body to heal again? Why are you out today?”

Nevertheless, Hanson got happier when he heard her and started chuckling. “Are you that worried about me?”

The way he spoke made it sound like Vania could only think about him.

However, she ignored his teasings and spun around to look outside of the car window. I was just asking to be kind, so why did he have to say it like this?

Despite that, Hanson was still grinning, and he wasn’t feeling awkward by the fact that Vania had ignored him. “I have a bad stomach, but I’m not crippled. Am I not good enough for you just because I have poor health?”

Vania remained quiet, for she didn’t know how to answer him.

Just then, she couldn’t help but feel like Hanson was completely different from how others would describe him as cold and unapproachable. Looks like some rumors really can’t be trusted.

Knowing that Vania was distancing herself from him after what happened yesterday, Hanson stopped smiling and asked, “Are you still mad?”

His sudden question caught her off guard. “Mad about what?”
