Chapter 415 Oscar Comes Back

Susan left in anger and didn't stay for one more second. That was why she didn't see Manuel open the door again after he closed it, and watch her leave and then shut the door again.

Tia watched them but couldn't do anything with it. Manuel loved Susan so much but why didn't he talk it through with her? Susan wasn't that ruthless but how could she leave so decisively? However, Tia dared not speak more. All she could do was do her job quietly.

Manuel returned to his room and sat on the balcony quietly. He kept smoking with butts scattered around the floor. He didn't come back to earth until the phone rang.

"Dad." he picked up the phone.

"Susan is here now. Don't worry."

"OK. Good."

"Manuel, you and Susan..."

"It's settled. I respect her decision."

"It wasn't easy for you to be together. Why? Manuel, don't give up. Maybe Susan will fall in love with you soon. Her bark is worse than her bite. You know what, she was crying her heart out when I picked her up. You must have had a fight, right?" Edward asked helplessly.

"Um," Manuel admitted but didn't say much about it. He didn't think Susan cried badly because she couldn't bear to end their marriage, but because she felt she had been treated unfairly.

"Manuel, I've known you since you were little. And I can see how much you've loved and cared about Susan. It was difficult for you two to get married, and it's a real pity that you are separate now. I'll talk with Susan. Don't take it to heart, OK?" Edward said sincerely.

"Dad, just respect Susan's decision. It'll do no good to your relationship if you talk too much about it. It's not worth it. It's too hard for us to be together."

"Manuel..."

"Right, dad. I've got something to discuss with you." Manuel changed the topic directly.

Edward sighed and knew that he couldn't convince him at the time. But Edward just couldn't take it easy, since it took great effort for them to be together, but they were gonna separate again. "What is it?" Edward asked.

"Are you free tomorrow morning? I'd like to talk to you face to face."

"I think so. I'll see you in your apartment tomorrow."

"OK. Sorry for the trouble."

"Never mind. I take you as my own son no matter what happens between you and Susan."

"I see," Manuel said.

Sometimes, it was difficult for him to take the excessive care of the seniors, and he felt it was a like burden to him. Generally speaking, an inferior man would feel this way.

Manuel hung up on Edward and dialled another number, "Oscar."

"I heard that you've lost the baby." Oscar went straight to the point.

"Um."

"Sorry for your loss."

"It's all gone." Manuel appeared calm and indifferent, "I'm calling to tell you that I'm open to any job from now on."

"Oh?" Oscar frowned lightly and asked, "But you said you didn't want to get involved?"

"I was too selfish then."

"Admit it. Susan has broken your heart, right?" Oscar smiled lightly on the other end and went straight to the heart of the matter.

Manuel smiled as well and said ironically, "You got me. See it through but don't speak it out, and we're still good cousins."

"Theodore and I can handle it right now. No worries. I'll call you if I need help."

"OK."

"How's Justine?" Oscar asked, "Is she doing OK after losing her grandchild?"

"My mother has a bigger heart."

"Then you should learn from her."

Manuel nodded and said, "You're right."

"I'll drink with you tonight if you feel like shit. "

"Aren't you in River Town?"

"I just landed."

Manuel was a little surprised.

"I just can't stay in River Town forever, right? I should come back and visit my family from time to time, anyway." Oscar kidded.

"I'm fine. You'd better stay with Hannah more often. My mother always wonders when you can make babies for your family. Work harder on it!" Manuel made fun of him. "Tell Justine that the babies are on the way."

Manuel burst into laughter and said, "OK. We'll be waiting for your good news then."

"OK," Oscar said. Clearly, he was in a good mood.

"OK. You'd better go home now. Let me know."

"OK. See you around."

"Bye for now."

Oscar hung up the phone. Actually, he decided to come back today not only because he thought it was about time to go home for a visit, but also because he was worried about Manuel.

He knew Manuel must have a hard time when Theodore called to tell him that Manuel and Susan had lost their baby. He was thinking of coming back to Kensbury City and drinking down with him. But, Manuel was much stronger than he'd thought.

Both Theodore and he thought Susan wasn't good enough for Manuel. It wasn't a bad thing if Manuel could give up his love for Susan this time.

The phone was ringing.

Oscar answered the phone, "Theodore."

"Are you here?"

"I've just landed, and I'm on the highway now."

"Are you coming over directly? I've got the wine ready."

"Nope. I've just called Manuel. He's fine. I won't go by now."

"So, you just stood me up again!" Theodore complained. "Rain check."

"So, are you gonna see Hannah now?"

"Yeah!" Oscar admitted it.

Theodore thought he just couldn't stand Oscar again and hung up abruptly. He'd ordered lots of good wine. And he'd picked lots of hot chicks for Manuel. But it turned out to be a goose chase.

He sat in the private room of the club and got a little mad. The hot chicks dared not approach him. And the lobby manager dared not mess up with him, either. All of them were standing there in a row, daring no to move at all.

Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. Theodore looked towards it sharply. And the super bodyguard standing behind him was frightened by his tiny action.

"What's wrong?" Theodore asked coldly.

The guard plucked up courage and said, "A miss called Little Bunny wants to talk to you."

"Who the hell is Little Bunny?"

"She said she knew you."

"She knows me. Does it necessarily mean I know her? I've fucked around. Must I remember each one of them?" Theodore fumed.

"She said, she was pregnant with your child."

"What!" Theodore almost jumped up from the sofa. He'd always been very cautious. He just put on his pants and left care-freely every time and he'd never got any girls pregnant. How could she carry his child? "She didn't seem to be lying, so..." the super guard said humbly.

Theodore frowned and wondered who had the balls to mess up with him.

"Let her in."

Anyway, he was busy with nothing today, so he was gonna see what she got.

The super guard got out of the private room immediately. A moment later, he returned with a girl, who looked kind of familiar to Theodore.
