Chapter 78


    It somehow didn’t bother Jacob one bit. He is noting, just like we were hoping he wouldn’t! the


    boy cheered to himself. That Devil better stay away from Mommy.


    James, on the other hand, only stared at the pile of toys without saying a word. He couldn’t describe


    how he was feeling at the moment, but he knew he felt deceived about the fact that the man had


    promised to change the boy’s opinion on him.


    Hanson didn’t know it yet, but the good impression of him with the children he had painstakingly


    built shattered in that instant.


    He was currently sitting in his office with a file in his hand, and yet he couldn’t understand a word


    that his eyes were drifting across.


    Larry, who was looking on from one side, knew exactly why his boss was out of sorts. As though he


    was idle-talking, he started, “President Luke, I heard that Miss Vania is getting discharged today.


    Should we send her a gift?”


    Hanson immediately shut the file closed rather irritably and tossed it aside. “There’s no need.” It was


    evident from his cold tone that he was in a terrible mood.


    Larry could tell that Hanson had fallen for the Vania, but the man didn’t seem to have noticed it


    himself yet.


    Seeing that Hanson wasn’t in the best of mood, Larry cleverly chose to remain quiet after that.


    It hadn’t even reached a minute of silence when Hanson suddenly barked an order despite his


    earlier words. “Prepare a fireworks disy for tonight.”


    The short sentence was all it took for Larry to nod in understanding. “Roger that. I will arrange it


    right this instant,” he replied respectfully.


    The fireworks disy was definitely for Vania. He would have failed as an assistant if he still


    couldn’t understand his boss’ instructions after so many years of working by his side.


    When night came, Larry picked the best spot in Haling Vi to prepare for the most splendid


    firework disy in all of Hammond.


    At this time, she had already prepared a scrumptious dinner for her three sons.


    Each of them had a ss of fruit juice in front of them. Vania was the first to raise her ss as she


    suggested, “Let’s make a toast.”

    The three children, too, raised their sses and cheered at the same time. “May Mommy be


    healthy!”


    Just as they had finished saying those words, fireworks started exploding into a rare, dazzling


    disy of colors outside their window.


    Vania and her sons were startled by the sudden appearance of the fireworks and they all


    subconsciously looked over.


    By the end of the disy, four words exploded in the air—’Wishing You Good Health’.


    She was surprised for a second, but the first person that came to mind after that was Hanson.


    Her head and heart had turned into a mess at that moment. She wished she knew what Hanson


    meant by doing this.


    Having a slight idea of what was going on, the three children looked at each other before James


    knowingly let out a smile.


    Vania’s phone suddenly made a sound indicating that she had gotten a message and when she


    checked it, it was a text from an unsaved phone number that wrote ‘Congrattions on your


    discharge’.


    Reading the message only further threw her heart into a turmoil. She was even more sure that it


    was Hanson who prepared the fireworks disy and sent her the message.


    Instead of replying, she merely put her phone away.


    Meanwhile, Hanson was leaning against the car door at the entrance of Haling Vi.


    With his phone in his hand and a slight frown on his face, he would look at his phone from time to


    time to see if there was any new notification. His heart was pounding like he was a teenager who


    had just fallen in love.


    Even he didn’t know what he was so anxious and nervous about. However, after waiting for a long


    time and still not getting any new messages, the man couldn’t help but frown as he irritably whipped


    out a cigarette.


    His gaze stayed in the direction of the vi, his mind adrift.


    He had finished the entire stick when his message ringtone began to ring and he quickly lifted his


    phone.


    Contrary to what he was expecting, it was just another push notification shing across his screen.


    Anyone could tell how grouchy Hanson had gotten from the bulging veins on his fingers that were


    tightly gripping his phone.
