Chapter 23 Don’t Move

He kept her in his arms, silently waiting for her to finish venting her feelings.

For unknown reasons, he felt his heart ache for her.

After a while, her crying quieted down, and with her hoarse voice, she said, “Thank you, Hanson.”

Her voice was as soft as a feather, and it prickled his heart.

She wasn’t the first woman to call his name, but she was the first to make her way into his heart.

He did not respond directly to her words of gratitude. Instead, he said something completely unrelated. “Vania, address me by my name in the future.”

Hearing that, she was dumbfounded. She stared into his eyes, his deep gaze seemingly sucking her in.

Her eyes had nowhere to go. She could only tilt her head to the other side while her hands pressed against his chest. This posture bothered her, so she moved slightly and said, without responding to what he had said earlier, “Put me down. I’m fine now.” It was not appropriate for them to keep hugging each other.

When he sensed her movements, Hanson felt as if his entire body was on fire. Does this woman know what she is doing?

As a normal man, he would undoubtedly react to a woman moving around in his embrace.

But he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and said in a deep voice, “Don’t move around.”

His hoarse voice revealed his agitated state at the time as he warned, “If you continue moving, you’ll have to be responsible for whatever happens.”

Vania’s face flushed as soon as she heard his words. She had a feeling he was hinting at something, but she wasn’t sure.

Her eyes darted around, her body stiff as wood. She did not dare to move for fear that he would say something outrageous again.

He finally calmed down after she stopped moving and lay obediently in his arms.

Both of them remained silent as she did not dare to say anything provoking to him.

Suddenly, she recalled pressing the warning alarm which was linked to her babies before she was harmed. Upon that thought, she immediately pulled out her phone and texted James. ‘Don’t worry. Hanson saved me, and I am now safe and sound.’

Her babies, who were normally sleeping at this point, were staring at the computer screen with their eyes wide open. When they saw Vania’s message, they were relieved.

James quickly replied, ‘It’s good to know you are safe. Take good care of yourself. We are waiting for you to return.’

Vania thoughtfully kept her phone, but she was silently feeling downhearted. I’m sorry to disappoint all of you, my babies. I did not manage to find your brother.

“Devil seemed to be quite reliable. We should thank him this time,” Jack said, sounding relieved.

To that, Jacob responded, “Yeah, it seems like Devil is of some use.” He was relieved as well, knowing that their mother was no longer in danger.

James nodded. After he replied to Vania, he texted Hanson. ‘Thank you for what you’ve done this time. We’ve decided not to address you as Devil anymore, but we haven’t decided on your new name yet. Anyway, thanks.’

Hanson smiled faintly when he read the message while looking at Vania. How many more secrets do you have that I don’t know about?

Within two hours, his helicopter landed on the landing pad on top of Eastland’s Greenland International Hotel.

Before they alighted the helicopter, Vania tapped his robust shoulder with her finger and said embarrassingly, “I can walk on my own. Put me down. There are so many people watching us outside.”

He was already eye-catching to begin with; she didn’t want to be the center of attention.

However, he grabbed her moving hand and said, with a warning look in his eyes, “Don’t move. You’re injured, so I will carry you.”
