Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 553

Bryan was intimidated by this uncle of his. Liam used to help his grandpa keep him in line.

"Why have you gone quiet?" Liam's eyes were like a still pool of water. No one could tell what he was thinking or feeling.

"I'm just surprised to see you, Uncle Liam."

Bryan did not dare say anything frivolous anymore. He stood stiffly where he was.

"We see each other every day, so what's there to be surprised about? It's as if you have something to hide." Liam ruthlessly exposed his lies.

Bryan lowered his head and stayed silent. Even if he did not feel the need to hide anything earlier, he certainly did now. If he accidentally made Liam angry, no one would be able to plead for mercy on his behalf.

Meanwhile, the two men had approached Hanson and were greeting him.

"We haven't seen each other in quite a while."

"That's true."

Liam was talking to Hanson right now, but ever since he came into the room, his eyes would flit over to Vania every now and then.

Hanson noticed how Liam was observing Vania, so he pulled her closer to him and introduced her to Liam. "This is my wife, Vania Greyson."

"Darling, this is my good buddy, Liam, who's also Bryan's youngest uncle." His introduction was brisk and to the point.

Hanson knew Liam far too well. The two of them were very much alike and seemed to share the same tastes in nearly everything.

Therefore, Hanson began to feel a little wary. He refused to allow anyone else to set their sights on Vania.

"Nice to meet you," Vania greeted Liam politely.

Liam seemed to snap out of it when he heard Vania's voice. He smiled and said, "Oh, haha. Nice to meet you too. You can go ahead and call me Liam, just like Hanson does."

Deep down inside, he was a little shocked to see how similar Vania was to his older sister.

Hanson did not protest this form of address. He did respect Liam as one of his older friends.

Seeing that Hanson had no objection, Vania greeted him respectfully once more, "Hi, Liam."

Liam nodded without saying anything, but he continued to look at her thoughtfully.

How could the two of them look so alike?

Vania noticed his curious gaze and began to feel a little curious herself. She studied him back, but even so, she did not notice anything particularly noteworthy.

She was certain that she had never met Liam before, so she did not know if he had something he wanted to say to her. She smiled and asked politely, "Is something the matter, Liam?"

Liam chuckled. He realized that he was behaving a little strangely. "It's nothing. I apologize if I seemed impolite, but seeing you reminded me of someone else."
