Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 517

Hanson retrieved his gaze and said, "Nothing. Just stay away from her."

He didn't tell Vania Kiki's last glance looked off, so Vania thought he was being jealous again. She stroked his back to calm him down. "Will do, oh great President Luke. I'll heed to your words."

No way would she really date Kiki, so she certainly wouldn't want to drag herself into this kind of trouble.

"Oh, I just remembered. How did it go with you and Thomas?" She had forgotten all about it last night, thanks to Kiki's surprise. She still hadn't found out who won the fight.

"Have you gotten your present ready?" Hanson grinned confidently, leading Vania to quirk a brow. "Of course. I knew you'd win. So when is he coming over to call me cognata?"

"He's gone back to Hammond. We'll meet again tonight. Other friends will be joining too."

"Cools." Vania nodded.

Cough, cough… A deliberate cough of a familiar voice traveled to their ears.

"What now, Miss Kepler?" Vania lifted her eyelids lazily.

Naturally, Yvonne ignored her and stood in front of Hanson. "Thomas has booked us a table for breakfast. I've come to bring you over."

And by 'us', she meant her and Hanson, of course.

Just as Hanson was about to turn her down, Vania spoke up with joy, exclaiming, "Wow, how sweet of fratellino. C'mon, dear, let's go. I'm famished."

She even swung Hanson's hand as she blinked, making his heart melt. "Sure."

But Yvonne's lips twitched. "Fratellino? Who are you calling fratellino?!"

"Thomas, of course. Since he lost the match and became Hanson's younger brother from another mother, he's naturally my younger brother as well," Vania explained justifiably. "I've even gotten the present ready. It's a pretty good one, I have to say."

But of course, how could Yvonne accept the fact that Vania was now her elder? "Don't flatter yourself. Y-You and Hanson aren't married yet."

She nearly slipped and called Hanson 'Hanny' again.

"But your words hold no value in this." Vania spread her arms. "Thomas made the bet himself. Unless he goes back on his words and nullifies the decision."

Please, we already have kids. Getting the marriage certificate would just be a procedure.

"Fine, you're sharp-tongued. I can't out-speak you." Yvonne knew there was no way she could convince Thomas to go back on his words. Then, jealousy surged within her when she saw Vania's hand around Hanson's arm. "But there's no breakfast for you today."

In reality, Thomas had arranged food and accommodation solely for Yvonne. So the breakfast was naturally only for one. She lied just because she wanted more time with Hanson.
