Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 25

His words immediately turn her embarrassment to rage. “Hanson! You‘re..” She couldn‘t bring herself to call her savior ‘despicable‘.

As a result, she could only yell angrily, “I’ll wash up now.” She then pushed him away and sprinted to the bathroom.

The moment she entered the bathroom, she leaned against the door with her hand against her chest.

Why is my heart racing? It must be because of the nonsense this man said.

As she remembered Hanson was outside, her face flushed again.

In the bathroom, she used the dryer to dry her undergarments and took a quick bath.

Meanwhile, Hanson was sitting on the sofa outside. He was gradually losing his composure.

The scenes from five years ago flashed through his mind like a movie. For the past five years, no woman had been able to make him lose control.

Even when Melanie stood naked in front of him, he was unmoved.

But now, Vania had unknowingly stirred his heart

Feeling frustrated, he walked to the balcony and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

He wasn‘t a regular smoker, and he wasn‘t addicted to it. He would only smoke one when he was annoyed.

The cold night breeze blew through him, removing all his irritation. After having one cigarette, he felt much better.

Just as he turned around to return to the living room, he saw Vania standing by the door, wearing his shirt.

His shirt was slightly long; it barely covered her legs.

And beneath the white shirt, her legs appeared fair and long.

Her shoulder–length hair was fluttering, and her innocent face had an anxious expression. When she saw him, her tense expression softened a little.

With a depressing mood, she said, “I thought you had left.”

What happened tonight truly terrified her. In this dark night, Hanson was the only person she knew, and if he left, she was afraid that the scary incident would happen again.

Seeing her looking aggrieved, he felt compelled to protect her, and the passionate feeling he had suppressed resurfaced.

With that, he reflexively avoided her gaze. “I went to the balcony to smoke earlier. I won‘t leave.”

He dashed to the bathroom after his words without giving her a chance to respond.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Only after he was submerged in cold water, he felt the heat burning within his body dissipate.

I‘m not young anymore; why am I still behaving like a reckless young man?

He silently mocked himself in his heart. Fearing that Vania might have suspicion, he quickly took a

shower.

In the meantime, Vania was indeed dumbfounded by his action. She had no idea why he was behaving in this manner, and not knowing what to do, she poured herself a cup of water.

Not more than five minutes later, he exited the bathroom with his usual aloof look.

However, the casual bathrobe made his sturdy build appear enticing. She could even feel this man‘s charm radiating.

Such a scene was as beautiful as a well–drawn painting. She was dazed when she saw this, and her hand that was holding the cup also stopped moving. With much difficulty, she swallowed the water in her mouth.

Though she had children, she merely had one such night with one man before.

For the past years, she had never been in such close proximity with a man. All that was unfolding before her was so dazzling that she felt the temperature in the room rise, irritating her.
