Chapter 70 A Successful Bribe
Jacob then slowly typed out, ‘Jack, you keep forgetting that we are males too.’
Jack sent out a hammering emoji in response. ‘Jacob, can you not always rebuke me with such useless words? We need to focus on the Devil and protect Mommy!’
Seeing this, Jacob could only close his salivating mouth while replying, ‘I’ll just go along with you guys then.’
The trio then discussed some more.
…
After some days of rest, Vania was able to sit up by herself.
As James was on his phone acting mysteriously, she had been making progress on her work, seeing how it was about to be finished.
Putting down his phone, James then came to sit beside Vania with eyes full of praise. “Mommy, this is so beautifully drawn.”
The drawing was of an exquisite looking angel.
However, this was a different angel than what people were used to.
Without any wings or a halo, the adorable pea-sized child was being surrounded by stars and the clouds, making it look like he really did fall from the sky. Coupled with a very sincere smile, it made the people looking at it feel very familiar to it.
That smile was the exact same as Vania’s children’s.
Holding James’ hand, Vania said, “You are all Mommy’s little angels.”
Smiling happily, James then replied, “We are the little angels sent to protect you, Mommy.” After that, James snuggled warmly in her embrace.
Playing with his hair, Vania felt like she had the whole world in that moment.
…
It had been a few days since, and Hanson did not come visit Vania after his departure last time.
Besides dealing with some troublesome work-related issues, he was also busy searching for a one of a kind gift for James.
Vania, who was focusing on recuperating, did not think of Hanson either until the man suddenly appeared in her ward again.
Coincidentally, Jacob had just left, with James replacing him. He bumped into Hanson before he even managed to sit down.
Seeing who it was made him quite upset. Didn’t he already not come for a few days? Why is he here all of a sudden?
And so, James proceeded to completely ignore him.
On the contrary, Hanson smiled while waving at him. “Come here. I brought some presents for you.” While he was saying that, Larry came in with a lot of bags, and they all contained beautifully wrapped boxes.
Not interested at all, James did not even spare that a glance. Are you thinking that I can be won over by such petty things? That’s impossible!
Knowing how stubborn James was, Hanson chose to open the present in front of him personally, seemingly trying to arouse the former’s curiosity.
However, James did not have the slightest interest, and he still did not look at him.
It was until Hanson had unwrapped all the presents leisurely did he finally say to James, “Are you really not going to look at it? Trust me, you won’t regret this.”
James was still not moved by this.
“Are you really not going to look? It’s all your favorite things.”
Upon hearing how confident Hanson was, James hesitated for a bit and a spark of expectation appeared within him. Does he really know what I like?
Feeling a strong surge of curiosity, James glanced at it from the corner of his eye.
Yet, it was this glance that left him slack-jawed.
It really was all his favorite things, as all kinds of tanks, planes and cannons were there.
On top of that, every model was very detailed to the point where he had never seen anything like this before.
Even though Vania had bought lots of toys for them, James had never seen models with such details and advanced workmanship before.
“Do you like it?”
