Chapter 524


    She had no idea what Hanson liked to eat though. She only remembered that he ordered these


    dishes during that one time she had dinner with her brother and Hanson. She memorized it, thinking


    that it was his favorite.


    Hanson ignored her and took the menu to make his own orders. He emphasized, "Make sure the


    drink is hot." Girls shouldn''t drink anything cold if they can help it, even if it''s in summer.


    Vania smiled. He always pays so much attention to detail.


    Yvonne looked a little upset, since everything Hanson ordered was different from hers. It felt


    humiliating.


    Jack held back hisugh and said, "Miss Kepler, you might not know this, but Daddy''s pte


    changed. He likes whatever we like."


    James lectured, "Don''t say that to her. She ordered her favorite food. She can finish them."


    "Sorry, James," Jack apologized.


    Yvonne looked at the boys and clenched the menu tightly. Don''t you mock me, you little brats! She


    snapped, "Kids shouldn''t get in the way of an adult conversation. It''s rude." Calling the kids rude


    was saying Vania was an uncivilized brute as well.


    The kids would not stand for Yvonne''s insult against their mother. Their faces fell.


    Jacob said innocently, "But Daddy said we''re men now. We''re not kids anymore." He looked a little


    proud saying that out loud.


    Yvonne sneered silently. A game of semantics? Game on. "Well, technically speaking, you''re still


    kids, going by age. So stay out of this conversation, please."


    Things were getting tense, and Vania went and made it even more tense. She said, "Calm down,


    Miss Kepler. They''re just kids, and you know that. Kids speak whatever''s on their minds. We''re


    adults. Surely we don''t have to argue with children."


    Oh, so she''s saying I''m petty now? Yvonne''s face fell. There are eight of them. I can''t win, but once


    my family joins me, I''ll make them pay. She brushed this aside. The conversation was pointless for


    her. She changed her attitude and said, "Ah, I''m just being straightforward. I like the kids, so I


    thought I should teach them about courtesy. I hope you won''t me me." Hanson said nothing, and


    Yvonne took the chance to exin, "It hasn''t been too long since I came back, and I''m already


    running into a lot of surprising events. I''m a bit beside myself, but I know we''ll be good friends again


    really soon."


    Be good friends again? Annoyed, Vania smirked at Yvonne. "You showing up is already surprising in


    itself, Miss Kepler."

    Yvonne didn''t catch the sarcasm. She was still immersed in the one-sided conversation with


    Hanson. "You''ve always been so aloof. You''d say I talk too much whenever we have our little dates.


    You told me to shut up and listen to you." She was telling that to Vania, showing off her ''happy'' past


    with Hanson.


    Hanson shut her down a momentter. "Yes. And you still talk too much. Shut up."


    "Um…" Yvonne''s happy smile froze. The lovely air faded as quickly as it came. She wanted to hide


    how awkward she was feeling, so she said, "Oh, you''re still as unforgiving as ever too."
