After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 827 Night Of Silence

Chapter 827 Night of Silence

Lillian started to size her up, surprised by her ability to tell what was on her mind.

Back in the day when she was talking to Hannah in the hospital with her greatest sincerity, she used to believe that Hannah was convinced. However, after a second thought, she supposed perhaps Hannah was only convinced that she and her family would be in great trouble as soon as Oscar lost his power. However, she didn't seem to believe that Lillian's marriage with Oscar was only based on political purposes and that Lillian herself had no feelings for Oscar.

As soon as they met this time, Hannah acutely pointed out her real thought, which she found hard to refuse. Then, Lillian replied with a seemingly amicable smile, "Hannah, my marriage with him is only based on political purpose. To be honest, both of us have tough reasons that prevent us from making a refusal. Oscar and I feel more like comrades fighting with each other than a couple. We reserve no deceit for each other. I won't do anything against his will. Nor will I interfere with his personal choice. I truly respect every choice he makes. Sorry, I can't do you this favour."

Hannah had expected such an answer from her because she noticed that someone was approaching from behind. Whenever Oscar was watching, Lillian always covered up her real thoughts. Meanwhile, as far as she knew about Lillian, she wouldn't be likely to convince her with a simple talk or two. However, as long as Lillian learned about Hannah's thoughts, she would be finally convinced because she was also eager to get Hannah away from Oscar. If so, she would offer a hand to help Hannah run away. It was just a matter of time.

Hannah then smiled at her. Since Lillian felt like she needed to pretend to be obedient to Oscar, Hannah would do as she wished.

"I didn't expect that you do truly fall for Oscar. I used to reckon you may reserve your own selfish will. Whatever. I, as a mistress, am the worst disrespect to you. But your generosity got me amazed. I gotta say I am sorry. Alright, good night." Said Hannah.

"Hannah, Oscar has been nice to you. You have gotta cherish his love. There used to be a man being the same obsessive as me, but..." Lillian suddenly stopped.

In the next seconds, tears welled up in her eyes. While looking at her, Hannah could tell there might be once upon a time Lillian truly fell for a guy. Or perhaps she was just pretending in front of Oscar. Nobody knew what the truth was. If Oscar was aware that Lillian had once fallen for a guy, it might help to let his guard down a bit.

What a scheming lady!

"Sometimes I am jealous of those truly in love. No matter who they are, the fact that they could spend time with each other is the greatest fortune of both." Lillian then slightly closed her eyes to cover up her sadness.

Hannah remained silent.

Then Lillian continued, "Okay, it's getting a bit late. I gotta go to bed. Good night."

"Good night." Hannah turned around to leave. Then she saw Oscar standing nearby in the corridor. Silence lingered in the air. Undoubtedly, it was quiet enough for him to capture their conversation from that short distance. So he had just learned about Lillian's generosity and Hannah's infidelity.

Hannah simply walked over as if nothing had happened. She didn't seem to care. What was more, she put on a smile, "You have finished your shower?"

Oscar nodded.

"You wanna sleep with me or with Lillian?" asked Hannah seriously. It sounded pretty satirical, she reckoned. To be honest, she didn't mean to pose such a question. She would rather have him sleep with Lillian tonight. With the power he got, he could do whatever he wanted.

"Hannah." Said Oscar seriously.

"Yes?" she maintained her smile.

"She won't help you." Said Oscar straightforwardly.

Her smile got frozen. Then she continued, "I know. I just wanna try my luck. I have nobody else to turn to except for her."

"You really wanna get away from me?" asked Oscar.

"What do you think?" asked Hannah rhetorically.

Hesitating, he felt like getting choked. After some scruples, he reached out his hand to take hers. Her fingers trembled a bit. But still, she compromised in silence.

"Time to go to bed." Said Oscar.

Hannah nodded. He would never compromise. Both of them returned to the bedroom. When Hannah was about to lie down, Oscar suddenly said to her, "Max just told me that it's time to apply ointment on your neck."

She reached out her hand to touch the scratch out of instinct. But Oscar hurried to stop her, "Hey, don't touch it in case of fester."

Hannah nodded. He sat on the bedside to carefully apply ointment to her neck. As soon as he touched the scratch, it hurt.

"Does it hurt?" asked Oscar.

"A bit. But I am fine." Said Hannah casually.

"I'll be gentle."

While rubbing the ointment on her neck, he tried to mitigate her pain by breathing on the scratch. She turned to stare at his profile. She felt like it had been a long time since she stared at him once again. Not until now did she recall that his jawline looked so perfectly attractive. His curled-up eyelashes, Roman nose and attentive expression caught her eyes. His face somehow seemed both familiar and strange to her at this moment. She still remembered the first time they met each other after she came back to life, he looked exactly like a Playboy. And now he had turned into a refined and taciturn gentleman. She somehow missed the old days when he was still a dissolute 'playboy'.

After applying the ointment, he was about to leave.

"Oscar." Hannah suddenly uttered in a sweet voice.

He somehow got a bit thrilled. The next second, they stared at each other. Just a few minutes ago when he was rubbing ointment on her neck, he had noticed her unusual gaze. However, he found that he didn't dare to look back. At this moment, he had no idea how to reply because he was afraid he would be convinced to give in. But still, he couldn't help gazing at her.

With silence surrounding them, a real chemistry started brewing between them. Oscar stayed still to watch her. The next second, she approached closer. His body went taut with his fists clenching. He felt like being frozen, fearing that she would flinch at his every single move. Just within a blink, he suddenly gave a shiver.

Her lips fell on his, the softness of which greatly weakened his mind.
