After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 349 Escape

"Ms Phillips!" Tia was frightened by Susan.

Heard Susan coughing violently, Manuel on the sofa managed to get in his wheelchair swiftly and wheeled himself to Susan.

He saw Susan's eyes begin to tear up and she swallowed the food difficultly. She took her anger out on Tia, "Do you want to kill me? I thought I was going to die today!"

"I have told you it is hot." Tia said.

"So why did you make it so hot?" Susan argued with her.

"Heat is the only thing that makes them cooked..."

"Tia," Manuel interrupted Tia's words, "Go get an extra bowl."

"Yes, sir." Tia held back the grievance and went to the kitchen. After a while, she took out a small bowl.

Manuel picked up the spoon threw on the table by Susan, filled two spoons of porridge into the small bowl, stirred it a few times, blew it two times, and then placed it in front of Susan.

"It's not hot now." Manuel said.

Susan took a look at Manuel.

"Aren't you hungry?" Manuel tried to make himself look poised.

Now being reminded by him, Susan felt hungrier than ever. Susan didn't think she should have a bed time with herself, so she picked up the spoon in the bowl and began to eat. This time, she used her lips to sip at the porridge to make sure it was not hot, then ate.

At the same time, Manuel let Tia take another set of soup bowl and spoon for he wanted to cool the porridge while Susan was eating. Then he could hand her another bowl as she finished the former. In this way, Susan enjoyed herself.

Standing beside, Tia couldn't help but laugh.

Susan frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

"I suddenly felt like Mr Johnson was taking care of a kid."

"..." Susan got a long face.

Tia said nothing more, and she thought they were a lovely couple.

"Tia." Manuel suddenly said, "Take another bowl of porridge for me."

"Yes, sir." Tia nodded.

"Go away, I can eat by myself." Susan refused.

Manuel didn't go and continued with what he was doing.

"Manuel, I say, go away, I can eat by myself..."

"I'm not taking care of you." Manuel interrupted her, "I'm just taking care of my child."

"..." These words made Susan's blood boiled. She was about to get mad, "How did you know that?"

"Hannah told me."

"Fuck." Susan thought that Hannah was a traitor. She even thought Manuel was the other man who ruined the relationship between her and Hannah.

"Fine, you listen carefully." Susan said, "I don't plan to have this baby."

The expression of Manuel's face was changed but he didn't say a word.

Susan was excited, "Hannah has persuaded me to have this child, and she said a lot of words to me. I understand what she means. But, Hannah is not me. She doesn't know how painful I am in this marriage. She doesn't know how painful it is for me to bear your child. I did not refute her, not because I have compromise to her, I just don't want to argue with her because of you. You're not worth it. Listen, no matter what you do, I still don't want to have this baby! Marrying you is my baseline. There is no way I have a child with you unless I die!"

Manuel held the spoon and his hand was suspended in the air. But then he thought of what Hannah had said to him, she said that Susan would not go back on the things she had promised her, no matter what Susan said in front of him. But at this moment, he felt hurt when he heard about Susan talking about her decision on the baby and her pain in their marriage.

He had been wondering tonight what Susan would say to him. He thought of thousands of bad situations. But the truth is much more brutal than he could imagine.

Manuel's silence drove Susan more irritated.

"Anyway, I will not give birth to the baby. Telling you is not asking for your opinion, I just inform you."

"Please think about it." Manuel spoke in supplication.

But for Susan, he was merely trying to stop her and give her a bad time.

"I don't need to. I never thought of having a baby with you." Susan said.

"The child is innocent."

"I'm more innocent!" Susan said loudly, "Manuel, I won't have sex with you if you don't insist on forcing me to marry you by dirty means. I wouldn't have a child! If I didn't meet you, I could have had my happy marriage and a happy life, but now all is ruined because of you! It's worse to have your baby than to let me die!"

The more she talked, the more furious she became. Susan was extremely depressed, due to the marriage with Manuel, the baby and the morning sickness. Everything was pushing her to lose her temper. Now she was trying to hate harder to keep away from this man.

However, Manuel chose to keep silent. He always kept silent at every choice. No matter what she said, that was a constant way he would choose.

"Manuel, I repeat one more time. I'm just telling you but not discussing it with you..."

Manuel put down the things in his hands, wheeled himself to his room and closed the door. Susan was enraged by Manuel's moves.

And Susan then heard the sound of locking the door.

"Manuel!" Susan was fuming as Manuel did not show his attitude.

Tia summoned up her courage and said, "Ms Phillips, don't get angry, that's not good for the baby."

"Then don't make me mad!" Susan roared but she was yelling at Manuel.

"Mr Johnson probably didn't mean it. After all, you said you don't want the baby, but Mr Johnson couldn't stop you. So what could he do except escaping?" Tia said a little helpless.

She could not figure it out why Susan couldn't understand the kindness of Manuel.
