Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 245

Vania took a while to come to her senses before pondering in her mind, Is this guy really that weak? Then, she gave Hanson another probing look as she wanted to know whether his injuries were genuine.

Meeting the four kids' gaze of scrutiny, Hanson explained with a somewhat hurt expression, "I was badly wounded, so your mom went with me for a checkup. Just ask her if you guys don't believe me."

"Geez," the four kids responded. How childish of him to pull such a face as a grown-up! Believing him for the time being, they stopped eyeing him with scrutiny.

Jack said haughtily, "Well, in that case, just leave as soon as you finish your meal."

Jacob nodded in agreement. "Jack is right. It's really improper for a man like you to stay here." Even if he really wants to stay, there's a different price for that.

Jack nodded. "That's right. Treating you to breakfast is already the best we can do."

However, Hanson immediately interrupted them to say, "I'm afraid that's not possible."

The four kids were just about to turn around and leave when they heard Hanson say so. "Hmm?" Immediately, they stopped in their tracks and turned to look at him simultaneously, as if to ask him what his words meant.

Hanson explained unhurriedly, "The doctor said that I can't touch anything with this hand of mine for a month."

The four kids were dumbstruck at once. They looked at Hanson, wanting to see what kind of barefaced exaggeration he could make. Even Vania blinked her eyes at this moment. What does he mean? Don't tell me he means he wants to stay in our place for a month. She and the four kids waited for his reply.

He nodded under their stare without feeling guilty in the slightest. "That's right. I'm afraid I'll be staying here for the next month. Thanks for letting me stay at your place."

The instant these shocking words came out of his mouth, Vania and her four kids were stupefied; they stared at him motionlessly as if they had been struck by lightning. No way! How can he stay here for a month? Well, I'm indebted to him because he got injured in order to save me, but he can't keep staying here. If word gets out about this, what will that make of me? thought Vania. Unable to accept such a reason for their 'cohabitation,' she had opposition written all over her face.

Coming to his senses, Jack asked in refusal, "Can't your servants take care of you?"

Hanson replied, "My servants have been on leave since a week ago. They had to go home to harvest the wheat crops. If you don't believe me, just head to the Luke Estate anytime to ask about it."

James eyed him with incredulity. "Is there such a coincidence?"

"Yeah, such a coincidence does exist."

If Finley and Georgina—both of whom were busy working their butts off in the Luke Estate's villa—were to know this, they would probably say, "Since when do we have wheat crops at home? Why don't we know that?"
