Chapter 154 Transaction
James was frowning as well. “We gave him a list of Mommy’s favorites. Don’t tell me he’s trying them all?”
Jack found it difficult to imagine. “By the looks of it, he might do something crazy again, don’t you think so?”
Jacob was startled. “Huh?”
Will he give Mommy a whole shop of desserts?
If Mommy can’t finish them all, can I help her eat some too?
Jude was also dumbfounded. He still had trouble grasping the concept of diamonds worth a hundred million.
However, judging from his brothers’ expressions, he could more or less make out that the man had done something quite out of the ordinary.
Jack pulled Jude to his side and showed him the video on the phone. “Now remember, Jude, don’t ever do this when you’re trying to get yourself a girlfriend in the future. This is one of the failed examples.”
James was all serious. “According to the girl’s preferences, it’s more than enough to give her one diamond that suits her the best.”
Jacob added, “This is one of the wrong ways to court a girl.”
As he watched his older brothers lecture him in all seriousness, Jude blushed instantly. A girlfriend? I’ve never thought about that before.
Jacob took his phone and sent Hanson a nose-picking emoji.
When Hanson received the message, he examined the emoji for a long time, but he couldn’t figure out what it meant.
He knew, however, that it didn’t mean anything good.
Hanson replied, ‘You guys already know about the incident today?’
Jacob was indignant. ‘Of course.’
Hanson responded, ‘It seems like your mommy doesn’t like diamonds at all.’
The four babies stared at the phone, similar expressions of disdain on all their faces. ‘It’s not that she doesn’t like diamonds. The sender is the one at fault.’
Hanson looked at the text. Are they saying that she doesn’t like me?
Hanson decided to be humble and inquisitive. ‘Tell me, what should I do?’
Jacob sent him a money emoji.
If Hanson required their help, he should pay them a worthy sum.
If Hanson weren’t completely sure that this was their WhatsApp account, he might’ve thought he had encountered a scammer.
Also, their money-grubber behavior was entirely different from what he saw of them the other day when they met up.
Is this the hidden skill of Vania’s darlings?
Hanson replied, ‘I’ve transferred a hundred thousand to your account.’
Jacob accepted it happily. ‘It’s true that Mommy likes spicy barbecue and roses.’
He continued, ‘Buy one free one. This is just for you.’
Otherwise, the amount Hanson transferred would only be worth one piece of information.
Hanson raised an eyebrow. Is he implying that I’m getting a discount here? Should I be happy about it?
Hanson replied, ‘I’ll be counting on you in the future.’
They didn’t want to be counted on at all, for they didn’t want Hanson to court their mommy.
While they were conversing with Hanson, Vania was already home from work. When Jacob heard the noise, he immediately closed the chat window.
The four babies went up to her and welcomed her. “Mommy, you’re home.”
Vania rubbed each child’s tiny face as she responded cheerily, “Have you been good at home today?”
Jack said confidently, “Of course! We’re very good children every day, but we miss you a lot, Mommy.”
Vania caressed his head. “Mommy misses you too. I’ll accompany you children for a longer while today.”
Then, she asked Jude caringly, “How are the lessons with your brothers? You’ll be going to school with them when the semester starts.”
Now, going to school was the single thing Jude looked forward to the most.
Also, having spent so much time with her, he was beginning to warm up to Vania.
When he understood her concern, he immediately nodded to signify that he could do it.
He still didn’t like to talk.
“You’ll be fine as long as you can get used to it. Do get along with your brothers, alright?”
