Chapter 964 His Standing in the Family
Hearing their sister's words, the six boys immediately shut up. After all, they had always listened to whatever she
said.
On the other hand, Hanson wasn't giving up just yet. He pleaded with Vania, saying, "You've got to write a song for
me when you get the opportunity."
"Uh-huh," Vania replied. I'll keep this in mind and write a song for him later. After all, I have to cater to his little
whims from time to time.
"Mommy, don't you think you and Daddy have switched roles with one another?" James said cockily. "He should be
the one who spoils you all the time."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat a heartless little brat! How am I not spoiling my darling? thought Hanson.
Jack chimed in at once, "That's right, Mommy! Don't agree to Daddy's demands."
"Yeah, don't do that."
Hanson's eyes rounded in vexation. Is this what they actually have in mind? This is terrible, no? Should I improve my
standing in the family? He stared at his sons, asking, "What should I do to improve my image in your mind's eye?"
He was the all-powerful president of a company, but little did he think he would stumble again and again at the
hands of his sons!
Jack replied, "You'll be the best in our hearts as long as you don't keep attaching yourself to Mommy."
The other kids nodded in agreement with him.
Hanson's heart sank even deeper at their reply. Seems like I can never achieve the little goal of changing my boys'
opinion of me. There's no way I could tear myself away from my darling, okay?
Seeing the look on his face, the kids said, "Since you can't do that, your image in our mind's eye will never change."
Hanson had never won when it came to battles of words against the kids. As a result, he heaved a sigh of
helplessness without saying a word. Well, they're my own kids, after all. I guess I have no choice but to let them
walk all over me and do whatever they want.
Amused by their conversation, Vania burst into giggles while leaning into Hanson. "Darling, since you seem so
miserable, I'll perform a piece of music written for you in the show's next episode."
Only then did the hurt Hanson feel somewhat comforted. "Darling, this isn't enough," he argued. I've suffered a
series of attacks from our sons. How could a piece of music be sufficient to make up for that?
Vania said in surprise, "Don't tell me you really want me to change my stage name? I think you'd better stop
drawing hostility toward yourself." Watch out lest our sons deal with you again, she thought.

Hanson's eyes lit up for a moment, but before he could speak, he heard the kids reply in chorus, "No, you can't."
This stage name belongs to us exclusively! How could you change it just like that?
Seeing such strong objections from her sons, Vania had no choice but to say to Hanson, "Let's not change my stage
name, then. You're already a grown-up, so stop being jealous of our boys."
Knowing that it wouldn't do him any good to keep making a fuss about this, Hanson had no choice but to relent.
Fine, I'll forget about changing her stage name. I can never win against my sons, anyway; in that case, I'll have to
recover my pride elsewhere. He said to the kids, "It's getting late already. You all should go back and sleep."
Seeing through his intentions at a glance, the kids darted a sideways look at him simultaneously. It's getting late,
eh? No, he's only saying that in order to be alone with Mommy. What a dishonest man. Nevertheless, they were
quite cooperative with him when it came to this kind of thing, so they obediently retired to their bedrooms.
Hanson then blew a breath on Vania. "Darling, now that our kids have gone to sleep, let's go to bed as well, shall
we?"
"Haha." Vania gave a dry laugh. "You don't look like you're going to sleep at all, though."
