Chapter 262 Let’s Give Her a Small Surprise
Hanson smiled; he did not argue with them and went along with their wishes instead.
“Sure.” He also changed the subject and asked, “What topic do you want to learn about today? I can teach you.”
Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he continued with a big smile, “Oh! By the way, do you like programming? I can teach you.”
All four of them felt disgusted at the same time. Teach us? You can’t even defend your company’s firewall. What a joke!
James studied the man with obvious ulterior motives and replied, “Okay.”
The other three children played along and nodded. We should play along with his performance. Let’s do our best.
Having reached an agreement, they each took a seat around the computer desk. However, the four of them were clearly not paying attention and there was no saying where their minds had wandered off to.
Meanwhile, Hanson’s long and slender fingers flew across the keyboard, but he was only using his left hand.
A series of codes appeared on the computer.
For children of their age, this should have been completely incomprehensible.
On the contrary, all four of them watched quietly without the slightest trace of surprise in their eyes. It was completely different from the excitement that lit their eyes when they were listening to his lectures on astronomy and geography. They simply watched without a shred of emotion on their faces.
From time to time, they even seemed to roll their eyes as if mocking his naivety.
Hanson was secretly feeling very awkward, but he continued to operate the computer leisurely and also occasionally asked them, “Do you understand?”
“Yeah,” the four of them answered monotonously. Their response was monosyllabic, which clearly indicated their utter disinterest.
“Is it too simple?” He knew how intelligent they were. “Shall we change to something else?”
The operations this time were clearly much more challenging than before. Nevertheless, the children remained impassive. There was no surprise on their faces, almost as if this was something very normal to them.
He knew that it was not because they were not interested but because his operations were far too simple for them. The suspicions in his heart became even more definite at this moment. Thus, he turned to them and suggested, “Why don’t you show me how you do it instead?”
The four children shook their heads in unison. “We don’t know how.”
Oh? Hanson gave them a way out. “That must mean that you don’t like this topic either.”
James thought to himself, The Devil is truly a man as cunning as a fox.
On the other hand, Jack spoke like a little adult. “It’s okay.”
Jacob softly said, “Comparatively speaking, I prefer eating sweets.”
James added, “It’s much more interesting to research models.”
Jude simply smiled shyly and had a rare exchange with Hanson. “Reading.”
When have they ever spoken so much to me before? Don’t they know that a guilty person gives themselves away by overly protesting their innocence? Hanson chuckled to himself in his heart.
Putting down the keyboard in his hand, he spoke to them. “Alright then. Why don’t you choose? What do you want me to do with you today?”
Jacob suddenly had an epiphany and cheerfully said to Hanson, “Let’s make some desserts together today. Mommy cooks for us every single day. Let’s give her a small surprise today. What do you think?”
All of a sudden, Hanson felt as though he had been struck by a powerful thunderbolt.
Can I say that I’ve never cooked before? But, I can’t reject the children’s enthusiasm. At this moment, he could only raise his omnipotent right hand into the air. “Look at me. Do I look like I can make desserts?”
Jack crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Looking at how adept you were when operating the computer with your left hand, I’m sure it won’t be a problem for you to make desserts with your left hand.”
