Chapter 253 Closer

The four of them immediately collected themselves from their unnatural expressions.

Jack said, "I was thinking about what you've said before. I couldn't understand you before, but I get it now. Everyone has their problems."

James nodded with a frown. "Thank you."

As this was the first time they said a heartfelt thanks to another, they thought that they should try to understand the Devil before them.

Hanson laughed. "There's no need to be so polite with me. As long as you all are willing to learn, then I shall teach you anytime."

Instantly, their eyes lit up before they said expectantly, "Really?"

"Of course. Why would I lie to you?"


Because you've lied to Mommy before, they thought.

Despite his thoughts, James replied, "Because you have sons of your own too."

"You have a point." Hanson nodded. "Perhaps you all would be very good friends," he added as he had a strong feeling that they would be friends given time.

James nodded his head old fashionably. "I do hope so."

"So, have we come to an understanding?" Hanson asked in an attempt to change the topic.

Hence, James and Jack stopped the tit-for-tat with Hanson and nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes." Their answer proved that they had a newfound understanding of the book. They met Hanson's eyes with a new purpose and shine in their eyes.

Hanson was taken aback, as he hadn't expected the four of them to look at him with such a complicated gaze. Feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, he unconsciously asked, "Have we met before this?"

"Nope," they answered firmly without skipping a beat. After all, they were all sent away the moment they were born. Hanson couldn't have met them before this.

Looking at the children having such a big reaction even though they were fine mere moments ago, Hanson became suspicious. Perhaps there was something that happened between us. Something I don't know, he thought. Just as he was about to question the children, he heard the door opening. Taking one glance at his watch, he knew that it was Vania who had just returned. Seems like she's earlier today.

When they heard Vania's voice, the four of them rushed over and surrounded her. "Mommy, you're back," they all said with joy.
