Chapter 236 Hanson’s Reaction

As she had expected, Hanson stopped what he was doing at this moment. He didn’t get annoyed, but he didn’t look at her either. Instead, his eyes were glued to Vania the entire time.

Rather than avoiding his gaze, Vania met his eyes and said in a deliberately sweet voice, “I’m so hungry, Hanson. Let’s go over there.” Speaking with a studied drawl, she sounded so coquettish that it left one’s bones tingling. Furthermore, she looked seductively charming in the first place, which really made her seem like a captivating seductress when coupled with such a voice.

Hanson felt like his body was on fire the instant she called his name. When has she ever called my name in such a way? Even when she called his name back then, it was enough to make his body and soul feel burning hot. As a result, the instant she called out to him right now, he couldn’t stand it anymore. His body had a visible reaction, while his eyes lit up and became bloodshot. Like a rising male lion staring at its prey before it, he stared fixedly at the woman before him with possessive eyes, fearing that she might run away. After a long time, he finally gathered his breath and said in a somewhat husky voice, “Call me like that from now on.” Then, without waiting for her reply, he put his arm loosely around her shoulders and took her to the dining area, during which time he didn’t even take a glance at Melanie.

At this moment, Melanie was really upset. She could tell from how Hanson had reacted just now that he was really aroused. When has he ever been aroused in front of me? He gave no response even when I stood naked in front of him. All Vania did was call his name. Did he have to react so strongly? Heartbroken, she watched the couple leave before sniffling to hold back her tears.

Meanwhile, Vania immediately recoiled from Hanson’s embrace and moved her shoulder uncomfortably as soon as they reached the dining area. She had never had such intimate physical contact with any man other than him, and this made her feel somewhat bashful.

Hanson smiled helplessly. I guess I’m just a tool that she gets rid of as soon as I’ve served her purpose. Still, he couldn’t seem to get angry with her, and he still looked at her affectionately.

On the other hand, Vania was so hungry at the moment that she couldn’t be bothered by everything else. She had never eaten anything since noon, plus she had used up so much energy just now. As a result, her stomach rumbled with hunger at this moment.

Among the numerous desserts, she settled on the strawberry-flavored dessert at a glance. However, before she could reach for it, Hanson picked up the dessert and held it in front of her. “Let me feed you,” he said in a bewitching voice that made her heart itch.

The atmosphere between them was way too romantic, so much so that Vania felt her hair stand on end in resistance, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “Nope.” There were so many people watching them on such a public occasion. Since she could eat on her own, she didn’t want to do something so intimate with him.

Upon being rejected, Hanson let out an aggrieved snort. He asked with feigned displeasure, “Are you getting rid of me now that I’ve served your purpose?” He was obviously referring to what had happened when they met Melanie earlier. After all, he was such a clever person. How could he not tell that Vania had fallen into his arms on purpose just now?

Vania didn’t feel embarrassed at having him reveal her intentions at once. Instead, she merely pretended as though she didn’t know anything. “Not at all,” she replied. Then, fearing that he wouldn’t believe her, she subconsciously added, “I lost my footing just now, that’s all.”

“Who told you that I’m talking about what happened just now? Are you making an unsought confession here?” Hanson teased her on purpose with visible amusement.

As a result, Vania got miffed. “You… Shut up!”
