Chapter 551
Bryan could tell from earlier on that it was more effective buttering up to Vania than Hanson.
"Enough. It is useless trying to cotton up to her. You will still be punished if you do something wrong." Hanson pulled
Bryan away from Vania.
What the hell is a grown man like him sticking to my wife for no reason?! Hanson huffed.
Bryan didn't know what was going on, so he looked at Hanson blankly before turning to Vania. "Vania, you must help
me."
"Alright. I will."
As she thought that Bryan was easy to get along with and she felt a sense of familiarity with him, Vania had a smile
on her face throughout the time they talked.
Now that she had agreed to his request, he immediately gained the courage to throw an arm around Hanson's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshoulder. "We haven't had a gathering where everyone is present in a long time. We must drink more today."
"You still have the audacity, huh? Aren't you afraid of being punished?" Hanson slapped the hand of the man who
showed no respect for his elder off his shoulder.
It wasn't surprising at all for Hanson to know. Bryan's punishment was no secret between them.
Bryan's smile immediately dropped when he heard Hanson bring up the punishment. "Hanson!" He whined, "Why
are you rubbing salt into my wound as well?"
"I only spoke the truth." Right then, Hanson took Vania's hand in his and rubbed the ring on her finger, as though he
couldn't get enough of her.
Yvonne, who had been watching him, immediately had a glint in her eyes then.
She suddenly chimed in, "It is a happy occasion that everyone is here today. Stop scaring him, will you?" She
proceeded to walk in front of Hanson and sat down there.
Of course, Bryan didn't know what was going on between them, so he quickly agreed, "Yvonne is absolutely right.
As long as you don't tell, no one will know that I am drinking. That is why we must drink our fill today."
He hadn't touched a drop of alcohol during the few days he was grounded, which was why it was unavoidable that
he was craving for it.
Seeing Hanson remain motionless, Yvonne laughed. "Look at you and your rigid expression. You are scaring him.
Just let him be for today. For my sake, hmm?"
She spoke in a familiar tone, much like how a wife would speak to her husband.
"Your grandfather asked me to teach you well—" Hanson hadn't even finished his words when he was interrupted by
Bryan's eager voice. "Oh, Hanson, just turn a blind eye and pretend you don't know anything, pretty please?"
"Wouldn't I be betraying your grandfather's trust, then?" Hanson continued to resolutely reply with a solemn look on
his face.
Seeing how Bryan's plea was brutally rejected, April threw a meaningful look at Bryan as he hinted at him to try
Vania instead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as Bryan understood, he quickly wailed at Vania, "My wonderful sister-in-law, please tell Hanson to go easy
on me!"
"Since Hanson said no, you might as well just bear with it," Yvonne interrupted his emotional appeal.
Hanson didn't agree when I helped with the pleading earlier. Won't I lose face if he ends up giving the green light
once Vania says something? All our friends are watching, Yvonne thought.
However, Bryan neither had the intention to give up, nor did he understand why Yvonne said that. He only
continued to whine, "Please help me, Vania."
Vania let out a chuckle upon seeing his persistence. "You are addicted to alcohol, aren't you?"
As she teased him, she cast a glance at Hanson and lightly tickled Hanson's palm that was holding her hand.
The man responded by squeezing her soft, small hand in warning. Before she could say anything more, he turned
to Bryan. "Since your sister-in-law has asked for the favor, I will let you enjoy yourself today."
Bryan was stupefied when he heard that. Did she say anything?
Still, he was only stunned for a mere second before he cheered out loud. "Thank you, my dear sister-in-law! You can
tell me if you need anything from now on. I will do anything and everything for you!"
