Chapter 680 Coming Storm (2)
Theodore remained silent on their way to the airport in case Oscar would be irritated.
However, driven by great curiosity, he felt like digging out the reason accounting for Oscar's bad mood.
After a few minutes of struggle, he asked tentatively, "Are you quarrelling with Hannah again?"
Upon hearing that, Oscar seemed to freeze for seconds.
"You announced the news about her pregnancy and your decision to keep her away from all social activities without her permission beforehand? That's why she got pissed and drove you out of the house?" Theodore continued to ask.
He felt like Oscar had been making compromises whenever he got into conflicts with Hannah. Unlike him, Theodore found himself tough enough to dominate his marriage with Little Bunny. At the thought of that, he couldn't help recalling the pleasure he had enjoyed with Little Bunny just now. Perhaps it was because of long-time abstinence, he still found himself greatly indulging in the orgy moment he spent with her just now.
"No," Oscar replied coldly.
Theodore frowned to continue, "So what on earth is happening? Why did you jump into such a quick decision to leave for the Capital?" While speaking, he still felt like he wanted more for Little Bunny.
"Melvin talked to me last night." Oscar frankly explained without hesitation.
"What did he do to you?" Theodore soon turned into a nervous expression.
"He doesn't trust me."
"Alright." Theodore let out a sneer.
Actually, both of them had expected that Melvin would grow doubt about them someday. However, never did they expect him to come so soon.
"Are you gonna fight him right now?"
"That was part of my plan. But now he has taken Hannah under control."
"What?" Theodore almost jumped up from the seat.
Oscar's countenance was growing gloomier as soon as he thought about Hannah, who was grounded somewhere strange while facing the threat of death. At the thought of that, he couldn't help clenching his fists.
"Did you just sit by when Melvin took her away?" Theodore questioned with great disbelief.
Oscar nodded.
"Well..." Theodore got choked. Of course, he didn't mean to doubt Oscar's decision. Commonly speaking, he had been less brilliant than both Oscar and Manuel. Most of the time, he was the guy carrying out the plan while it was Oscar who had been diving deeper into the details. Now he just felt sorry for Oscar. After all, he knew how torturing it would be for Oscar to watch Hannah being taken away to somewhere dangerous. It must be heartrending.
"If I had refused to let him take away Hannah, I would have been in danger. If anything wrong happened to me, Hannah would still get involved." Oscar explained.
Theodore nodded. After all, Hannah had been the most important part of Oscar's life. But the point was that Hannah knew about the deal between Oscar and Melvin. Once Oscar failed and ended up getting killed, Melvin would kill her as well to keep the secret hidden forever.
"How about her attitude? Did she grow a grudge against you?" Theodore kept probing.
"What do you think?" Oscar let out a smile of self-mockery. Actually, he wasn't strong enough to protect her as he had ever expected.
"She must be wailing when being taken away." Theodore somehow found Oscar pathetic as soon as he pictured that moment. Then he suddenly recalled the fact that Hannah was pregnant. No wonder Oscar chose to announce her pregnancy in public so that no one would doubt her sudden disappearance.
"No, she had been composed from the beginning to the end," Oscar replied honestly.
"Really?" Theodore found it incredible.
"She knew she got no choice. So she simply accepted the fact." Oscar continued sadly. Whenever he mentioned her, he found himself grieved. Of course, Theodore could tell how he felt. Perhaps Oscar would burst into tears if he kept on asking, he reckoned. So he hurried to change the subject. But meanwhile, he was amazed by Hannah's unusual toughness.
"So what do we do now? Are we gonna just let him take control of Hannah while running errands for him?"
Theodore found it intolerable at the thought of that.
"No, now we gotta declare war."
"What do you mean?" Theodore felt like his blood was burning since he had been waiting for this moment for so long. He just hoped to end it as soon as possible. Now he felt like being greatly motivated as soon as he dreamed about the victory.
"Now I am gonna go to the Capital and tell the Collins about the deal between me and Melvin, face to face."
"Are you insane?" Theodore's face turned pale.
"I got my own plan. It will only expedite the Collins's decision to fight Balderston, who will make counterattacks." "What are you planning for?" confused, Theodore only felt like Oscar was pushing himself to the edge of collapse. "Theodore." Oscar suddenly turned to look at him seriously.
Being stared at, Theodore was rendered greatly uneasy. Compared to his gaze, he would rather expect his fists.
"The storm is coming," Oscar stressed out his words.
But then, Theodore let out a smile of relief, "Come on, that's what we are waiting for. Nothing will scare me. Even death is no exception."
Oscar got to admit that he was touched by Theodore's loyalty and all those who had pledged to die for the Wells. Thus, he swore he would never fail them.
"Whatever. I have experienced all kinds of pleasure and joy, the girls, the wealth and the family. Now I have got my own son. Honestly speaking, I got no regret for my life and I am ready to die."
"I promise you will make it alive." Said Oscar seriously. He swore he would never allow any death on his side to happen. And undoubtedly, he was ready to risk his own life for Hannah.
When the night fell, Oscar and Theodore reached their residence in the Capital.
This apartment equipped with two bedrooms and two living rooms was provided by the Collins, which cost much in this land of gold even though small in size.
Both of them rested on the couch for a while. Then Oscar made a call to Rowan, "Mr Collins."
"I heard you are back in the Capital." Said Rowan in a lukewarm voice.
Oscar soon turned alert. It appeared that Rowan knew every action of his in the Capital.
"Yes."
"But I have promised you three days for rest. Why are you returning after one day only? Don't you wanna spend more time with your wife? I bet you must be eager to stay with her after a period of separation." Rowan proposed jokingly to cover up his thoughts.
Oscar replied respectfully, "Mr Collins, I got something important to report to you, alone!"
Rowan fell into a short pause for seconds. He was probably contemplating Oscar's request. It was late at night. However, judging from his solemn tone, Rowan supposed it must be something serious. So he replied emotionlessly, "A face-to-face talk?"
"Yes."
"I will have my chauffeur pick you up." Rowan agreed but then added, "But it's getting late into the night. Don't waste my time. I am being too old to stay up late."
"Yes, sir." As soon as Oscar hung up the phone, he took a deep breath.
Then he turned to Theodore, "Wait here. I'll come to Rowan's place alone."
"What if he gets irritated and kills you?"
"Then you will help me to get Hannah out of control." Said Oscar.
Damn! Theodore was speechless. He didn't mean to let Oscar speak out his last words.
