Chapter 1182 A Little More Time

As soon as Hannah spoke, Oscar's eyes lit up with a wolf-like gaze, like he had just found his prey. "I'm going to sleep with Sal," Hannah added, and with that one sentence, Oscar fell from heaven into the abyss. The disappointment in his eyes was palpable.

Hannah turned and walked away, her smile unapologetic as she left him behind. She made her way to Salem's room while Oscar lay alone on Hannah's bed. He could still smell her scent on the sheets and it only made it harder for him to sleep. He tossed and turned all night long, unable to shake off the feeling of longing that came with being so close yet so far from Hannah. Just when he thought he couldn't take it anymore, the door suddenly opened and there stood Hannah.

Oscar stared at her in disbelief, afraid that if he breathed too hard she would disappear again.

"Sal's door is locked." She said, knowing that it was her parents who had done this. They probably had predicted that Hannah wouldn't be heartless enough to see Oscar sleep on the sofa all night long. It was late enough that waking the children up wasn't an option so after much hesitation, she returned to her own room where they both slept separately under different blankets.

"Don't touch me." Said she.

Oscar nodded.

"Stay on your side of the bed," warned Hannah sternly before adding, "if you cross over then you'll be sleeping on the couch."

And then Hannah took another blanket out and out it on the bed. She kept her distance form Oscar all night, facing away from him. Oscar had been staring at her back. She was right lying beside him; as long as he reached out, he could touch her. But he didn't dare to ask for more now.

"Sleep!" Hannah suddenly reminded. She could felt Oscar's intense gaze without turning around to see him.

"Okay."

"Close your eyes."

"Okay."

"Don't think about anything."

"Um."

The room fell into silence again. Later, even breath sounded in the air. Finally, Oscar broke his words. After Hannah fell asleep, he slowly moved his body closer to hers. He reached out from under the covers and brought his arm close to her body. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but at the moment of truth, he silently pulled back. He didn't dare take a risk or push too far, even though he desperately wanted to. Oscar turned over and forced himself to do so while suppressing all of his emotions. But just as he turned over, Hannah suddenly opened her eyes. She felt everything Oscar was doing. She knew that he moved closer to her and felt him bring his arm close. She also knew that he didn't dare embrace her and that he was forcing himself to be patient.

She wasn't sure what emotion she was feeling inside as she closed her eyes again. Perhaps, she needed a little more time to forget and let go. She still needed some time for herself to accept the truth. In the Wold Castle, after seeing everyone off, Theodore returned to the room where Little Bunny would join him later after helping Nicholas with bath time followed by putting him down for bed. Theodore waited for quite some time in the room before Little Bunny returned. When she did come back into the room, Theodore sat on the couch with a heavy expression on his face as if something weighed heavily on him. Today had been different than usual when he was together with Oscar or Manuel, because then Theodore laughed without any care in the world whereas now there seemed something troubling him deeply. Little Bunny looked surprised when Theodore said nonchalantly, "You should leave for the Capital soon."

"So fast?" Little Bunny asked incredulously, "Didn't you say we would stay overnight?"

When they came here earlier, they agreed upon staying one night longer so that they could spend more time with Laird before leaving tomorrow morning instead of tonight.

"I'll pack my things." Little Bunny thought Theodore would leave with her.

"I'm not leaving."

"I mean, you'll leave tonight. I've arranged a flight and a car for you. Someone will pick you up to the airport later." Said he.

"Am I leaving alone?" she asked, feeling somewhat gloomy as if she was abandoned by him. She didn't know since when she became so dependant upon Theodore.

"Mm-hmm."

"So, how long will you stay here?" Little Bunny looked at Theodore.

"Hard to say."

"Did something happen?" she couldn't help but ask, still wanting to know the reason. "Um."

Without any further explanation from him, Little Bunny forced a smile and said, "Okay."

"Pack your things up, I'll wait for you in the living room."

"Um."

Theodore left.

Little Bunny sighed. She had promised Nicholas to take him out to an amusement park for fun tomorrow. She also thought about having Theodore join them. But since that was his decision, she had to go. There was plenty of time in the future.

Little Bunny quickly packed her luggage and left.

Theodore was waiting for her in the living room. Watching her come out, he took the luggage from her hand and led her out of the castle.

A black sedan had already been waiting for her at the entrance. Theodore put the luggage in the trunk and opened the car door for Little Bunny.

When Little Bunny went in, she suddenly turned her head and stood on tiptoe to kiss Theodore on his cheek.

Theodore was startled.

She smiled slightly and said, "I'll be waiting for you in there."

Theodore's throat moved slightly and he nodded in response.

Little Bunny got into the car.

Theodore watched the car drive away. He thought for a long time and decided not to let Little Bunny see him being punished by his father, nor did he want her to feel like she owed him too much. Letting Little Bunny hold a grateful attitude towards him was the last thing he wanted, although she was just grateful to him.

Theodore touched his cheek where Little Bunny had just kissed him. In his eyes, she was trying hard to please him as if she was afraid he would back out and expose Addison. He sometimes doubted. Was it right to do this to keep Little Bunny by his side?

He always felt that he wanted more and more from her. He not only wanted to possess her body, and also her heart. He was afraid that the longer he stayed with Little Bunny, the more he would be unable to extricate himself from their relationship.
