Chapter 259
Without waiting for Hanson to answer, Jack asked once again, "Do you really not remember
Mommy?"
Hanson frowned at the question, as he was under the impression that he had not seen Vania
before.
The four of them became silent, as they all fell into contemtion simultaneously. The first to break
the silence was Jack, who said, "Then, have you never doubted about what happened back then—"
However, he was interrupted by James clearing his throat before he could finish his sentence. Jack
then immediately kept quiet and spoke no further.

Hearing what Jack said, Hanson did have his suspicions about what happened five years ago. He
also suspected that the four were privy to certain information that he was unaware of. Nevertheless,
looking at James'' expression, he knew that the other three wouldn''t say anything further even if he
pushed the matter here. Looks like I''ll have to find an opportunity somewhere down the line.
Then, Jacob took the paper from James and gave it to Hanson. "You should sign this. Don''t try to
get out of this."
With the sudden change in the conversation, Hanson was brought back from his deep thoughts.
Can I really not get out of this? However, his eyes brightened as he thought of a n. He extended
his right hand to the kids and said, "My hand is injured. You all should know that the doctor had told
me not to move so much. So, I''m afraid I can''t sign it."
Jake proudly pointed at Hanson''s left hand. "You can use your left hand to sign, then." He thought
since they could write with both hands, Hanson, as an adult, would be able to do so as well.
Yet, Hanson wore a distressed expression and exined, "I can''t write with my left hand." At this
point, he would never want to admit that he was ambidextrous.
James took a step forward while he waved his hand. "No worries. We can wait for you to finish
practicing with your left hand."
At this moment, Jude came over with a sheet of paper that was clearly intended for Hanson to
practice writing with his left hand.
Hanson ced his hand across his face, as he was losing out against the children. "Must I sign
this?"
The four of them nodded solemnly. "Right. You must sign this."
"How about we continue this talk after your mommyes back? You should respect your
mommy''s wishes, after all." Hanson tried to reason with the four of them. Since they wouldn''t let him
off the hook with his excuse, he had no other choice but to y the ''emotional'' card. "If your
mommy wants this, wouldn''t you all want her to be happy? It wouldn''t be good if you guys break this
off without her consent, right?"
Noticing the change in their expression, it was clear to Hanson that they were contemting the
matter. He was pleased with his decision to go down the emotional route as the children seemed
amenable to coaxing.
Contrary to Hanson''s expectation, Jack replied, "I think Mommy wouldn''t me us for this."
James nodded. "Mommy has never gotten angry at us."
Jacob and Jude also agreed with their brothers'' statements.
Hanson became speechless at the children''s response. His mouth twitched slightly while he
continued in his effort to persuade them. "However, can you all bear to make your mommy
unhappy?"
As he said that, the four of them looked at him withplicated expressions. They thought to
themselves that maybe it would be better to ask what their mommy thought of this man even though
they were under the impression that she would not like him.
In the end, Jack spoke up. "Alright. We''ll listen to you, for now. We''ll wait for Mommy toe back
beforeing to a decision."
Hanson nodded and thought, You should have done so from the start.
"Don''t be so pleased just yet. You better start practicing how to write with your left hand since you''ll
be signing this paper anyway," Jack said smugly.
