Hope It's Not Too Late to Love
Chapter 552

Chapter 556

Yvonne had known Liam for many years, but he had never complimented her the way he did Vania. It was terribly unfair that he was so warm and friendly toward Vania when it was his first time meeting her.

Vania's such a vixen! She keeps seducing men wherever she goes! All the men here are fixated on her!

Liam looked at Yvonne as if he was looking at his child. He laughed kindly and said, "Oh, our little girl's upset now. You used to follow us around everywhere we went. You've become a lot prettier now."

Yvonne felt a lot better once she heard the adoring tone Liam used.

Liam continued, "You've been abroad for so many years now. It's the first time we've met up since you've returned to the country, so why would I forget to bring you a gift? I've sent someone to put it in your car as a surprise."

"You're the best, Liam!" Yvonne was pleased. She looked over at Hanson and said, "Liam, Hanson didn't even give me anything."

Naturally, Liam did not know about what was going on between them. When he heard how aggrieved Yvonne sounded, he chuckled and said to Hanson, "Yvonne used to follow you around as a child. As someone she looks up to like an older brother, why didn't you prepare a gift for her?"

Yvonne was happy that Liam was standing up for her, but she did not like the way he spoke as if she were still a child.

She wanted to become Hanson's woman.

Meanwhile, Hanson had his arms wrapped around Vania as he shrugged. "You guys should know that I'm so broke that I have to stay with my wife now. I'm penniless."

In other words, he did not want to buy Yvonne a gift.

Yvonne's expression stiffened. It did not occur to her that Hanson would decline to give her a gift right in front of everyone.

It was such a vexing excuse too.

If he was penniless, then the entire world was penniless too.

She was even more upset that Hanson said he was staying with Vania. She frowned and asked, "Don't you have anywhere else to stay?"

They were not married yet, so she did not like the idea of them staying together.

"It's only natural for me to stay with my wife and kids," Hanson declared with such conviction that Yvonne did not know what she could say in response.

On the other hand, Liam was wondering if he should give Vania one of the gifts he brought along with him today.

He did bring purses and accessories that young women liked, but he thought of these things as too frivolous to give to Vania.

In the end, he did not bring it up, but instead decided to give her something more thoughtful in the future.

Right at that moment, the waiter began to serve the food, which helped ease the awkwardness that Yvonne felt after being rejected in the face by Hanson.

"Let's go to the shooting range after this."

There were a lot of activities here at the hot springs resort, not to mention that the environment was serene and relaxing, which made it a good vacation spot.

"That's a great idea! We haven't competed in a while." Both April and Bryan were excited.

Their families were close and they grew up in the military compound together, so they were interested in these sorts of activities. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"It's just the right opportunity for me to challenge Hanson and Thomas."

Ever since Bryan was a child, Hanson and Thomas would outperform him in every single activity. This was why he grew to idolize the two of them and wanted to win over them somehow.

"Are you sure you can do it?" April was the first to fire back teasingly.

"I've been training for a long time, okay? I'm sure I can win this time." Bryan was full of confidence.

Both Hanson and Thomas snorted at the same time. "Maybe in another decade or so."

They would be in their forties by then, so maybe Bryan would have a shot at outdoing them when the time came.
