Chapter 1005 Salem's Recitation

Besse entered the room and looked at everything in it, which was as clean as the master bedroom. She wondered whether Oscar had brought Salem to live with him here.

She sat on the expensively carpeted floor and looked at some of the educational toys carefully prepared. She picked up a Lego and played with it for a while.

She suddenly realized that she was bored enough to play with kids' toys over there. But the thought that Salem might once have played here strangely made her sense a kind of connection, which urged her to experience the same thing that had been done by that boy.

Besse made a random figure on the Lego wall. She read it out, "Salem."

She smiled. Sure enough, that boy was a particular favourite of hers.

As she got up from the ground and prepared to leave the room, she saw something written on the Lego wall, hidden by a movable table.

She moved the table and saw the words: "When can mom come home?"

Besse felt a stinging pain in her heart. She could feel a lot of sad feelings about a boy from that sentence.

Was Salem missing his mom?

Although the boy seemed to understand many things, in private, he was just a child who wanted to be protected and loved.

After a moment of silence, she picked up a pen nearby and wrote under the words: "Mom never left home. Mom is always in your heart, and you are in Mom's heart." Hannah should not blame her for doing so, Besse thought to herself.

Just when she put down the pen, the door was opened. Besse was startled by the sudden noise.

She turned her head warily and saw Oscar, who was also looking at her with surprise.

After a few seconds of silence, Oscar uttered the words, "Sorry to bother you."

He apologized suddenly and closed the door behind him. Because of his words, Besse was silent with a mix of emotions. Finally, she hurriedly opened the door to catch up.

"Oscar!"

Oscar was almost fleeing away in the corridor but he stopped when Besse called his name. Besse stepped forward. Oscar turned around to face her and explained, "I thought you were taking a nap." So, was he trying to avoid her?

"I want to pack a few things from here," Oscar said.

It was as if he was afraid she would be repulsed by him, so he kept explaining why he appeared here.

Besse bit her lip.

Was she that fierce?!

Oscar seemed genuinely afraid of her.

Come to think of it, she wasn't gentle with him.

But it wouldn't make him run away just by seeing her, right?!

Was it because of the unpleasantness of the car today? She did seem a little too much.

She said, "I'm sorry. I said a lot of hurtful things to you today because I was too impatient."

Oscar was surprised by Besse's apology.

He just looked at her like that.

The emotions were difficult to conceal but still madly concealed by him.

"I know," he said.

He knew why she got angry and also knew how much resistance she had towards him.

"Susan told me our lawsuit will go to court in a week," Besse said trying to ease the awkwardness between them.

After apologizing, it felt like the atmosphere between them didn't improve and became even more solemn. "Hmm," Oscar nodded.

"Thank you," Besse thanked again.

Oscar still just nodded his head looking indifferent and unconcerned.

"Oh yeah, are you here for something?" Besse asked.

"Yeah," Oscar continued nodding his head.

"Then go ahead and get it while I rest in my room," Besse said.

It always felt like there was some unease between her and Oscar.

"Okay." Oscar agreed.

Besse politely smiled at him before walking past him Oscar watched as Besse walked further away from him until suddenly calling out, "Besse."

Besse turned back around.

"Salem has a recitation tomorrow at school, do you want to come watch with me?" Oscar asked casually without thinking about it too much. Perhaps Besse would refuse.

But he couldn't control himself anymore.

At this point, Besse also fell silent for a moment.

She hesitated before finally saying, "No."

The disappointment in Oscar's eyes was conspicuous, and seeing this made Besse feel burdened instead.

"Okay." Oscar nodded.

As soon as he turned around and readying himself to leave, he heard Besse say, "If I go to the school now, I might cause some commotion. It won't be good for Salem."

"If you're only worried about your identity being exposed then I can arrange something else." Even though trying hard not to show any excitement or emotion while speaking these words Oscar added, "It's not suitable for me to appear at school either, so I will be prepared in advance and won't let anyone discover me. So you can rest assured about that."

Besse felt a little embarrassed. She was just trying to explain things and didn't want Oscar to have a hard time accepting it. But she didn't expect Oscar to suddenly say so much. "If you want to go, I can guarantee your safety," Oscar said again.

Besse suddenly found it difficult to refuse but she told herself not to be soft-hearted.

"Okay." She agreed.

"Then I'll send a car for you tomorrow," Oscar said eagerly.

"Will Susan come with us?"

"Yes, she will," Oscar replied without hesitation, afraid that Besse would refuse him if Susan didn't go with her.

Besse couldn't help but smile a little bit. Oscar's panic made her suddenly feel like he was also a bit childish.

Who could have thought that the man on the screen who was calm, restrained and powerful in dealing with anything or anyone would also panic like this behind closed doors? She said, "Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow."

"Mm-hmm." Oscar nodded his head slightly,

He smiled at the corners of his mouth but e didn't let himself show too much excitement.

Besse turned and left. The smile on her lips remained until she returned to her room and lay down on the bed; even then there seemed still some faint trace of it lingering around her lips.

She didn't even know what she was laughing about. Was it because of how flustered Oscar had been? Even if she were laughing at him as a joke, why did her heart feel so warm all of a sudden?

Besse lightly pursed her lips and slowly calmed herself down. She suddenly felt that this man named Oscar was dangerous. If it were any other woman who had spent these few days getting close to him, they probably would have fallen in love by now.
