Chapter 840 "I Hate Both of Them!"
Lilian was so sweet that Theodore started to like her. Seriously, he hated Rowan's guts before, but thanks to Lilian, he had changed his opinion about them. "OK. I'll leave you to it. I'm here for some unfinished work, too." Said Lilian, "See you later."
"Want me to walk you to the office?" asked Theodore.
"Nope, thanks. I'm good. "Lilian said with a big smile. She appeared reasonable and thoughtful, which people would be fond of.
After Lilian left, Theodore couldn't help to sigh, "Gosh! Karma is a bitch! But Lilian is strong."
Oscar didn't argue with him.
"But, Oscar," Theodore thought of something, "Lilian is 16 weeks pregnant. When will you officially marry her? It's not good for her reputation as the baby grows."
"I know," said Oscar.
Certainly, Oscar had considered it. Now that even Theodore had put it forward, it must be urgent. He put down the report on the desk and lit a cigarette. Theodore got a lot to tell, but he chose to zip it when he saw his bewildered face. He then sighed heavily and smoked with him.
One month later, when Hannah was 28 weeks pregnant and Lilian was 20 weeks pregnant, Oscar announced the news that Hannah and he had fallen out and divorced by agreement. Normally, Oscar couldn't divorce Hannah during her pregnancy, but they still got a divorce because they both agreed on it. It was breaking news, which had made a stir in the country.
The onlookers had smelled the rat earlier but they didn't believe it. The news shocked them all. How come a nice couple ended up with a divorce? Was it true that no man could stand the test of money and power? Anyway, it was official news. So, it was true.
Hannah read the news and sighed with relief. Finally, she didn't have to pretend that they were still a married couple in public
But Susan couldn't take it. She called Hannah and swore right away, "Damn it! Oscar is a total ass! He has divorced you! How could he do that to you especially when you're carrying his child? How dared he? Shit! I wanna knock some sense into him!"
"Chill out, Susan." Hannah comforted, "It's better this way. I no longer have to put up with the pressure and uncomfortable feelings that title has brought me."
"Dear Hannah, are you OK?" Susan finished cursing Oscar and asked with concern.
"Yeah." Said Hannah.
"I think, Oscar will announce the news that he'll marry Lilian Collins next." Said Susan slowly.
Hannah smiled. Susan was clever to see that coming. Oscar announced the divorce regardless of the great pressure for one purpose only, which was to marry Lilian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ruined his reputation. Probably, he didn't want Lilian to have a bastard child. Still, Hannah felt bitter and pitiful deep down for her baby, who would be called a bastard since he was born.
"It wasn't surprising." She said casually.
"But don't you care at all? Don't you wanna kill him when he did this to you?"
"I do, but I can't. Right?" Hannah joked.
"Hannah, it broke my heart to see you like this. You can be sad. You can vent your anger. Don't grin and bear it." Said Susan in tears. She couldn't wait to kill Oscar whenever she recalled how badly he had hurt Hannah.
"I'm really fine with it. I don't grin and bear it. I've been through tough days. I don't care what Oscar is doing. I just don't care any more."
"Really?" doubted Susan.
"Yeah."
Susan gabbled for another while before they hung up the phone. After talking to Susan, Hannah got a little blues. Max followed her everywhere. Did Oscar still think she would go extreme? It wasn't going to happen. She would no longer hurt herself for him again. It wasn't worth it.
When Hannah was 32 weeks pregnant and Lilian was 24 weeks pregnant, there spread the news that Oscar and Lilian were getting married. But it didn't create a buzz, since they had paved the way earlier. For example, the press frequently reported that Lilian had attended different public activities as Oscar's date, Lilian had tidied up the suit for Oscar, and Oscar had smiled at her...
It was known to all that they were deep in love. To the onlookers, it was no big deal the news that they were getting married, and they believed it was only a matter of time. Moreover, their marriage was good for all people. The two big families allied, which could assure the prosperity of the country. They felt sorry for Oscar and Hannah, but they could understand Oscar's choice when standing in the position of the country.
Susan freaked out again when she read the news, and shouted, "WTF! I curse them! The jerk and the bitch! They'll go to hell! God! Please put a curse on them!"
"What do you want the curse to be?"
"They can't have love all their lives!" snapped Susan, "They marry for interests only. They don't love each other. They will never fall in love!"
Hannah smiled, thinking that Susan was still that kind-hearted girl. To Oscar and Lillian, love was nothing.
"Susan, my legs are swollen." Said Hannah.
"What?"
"I found my legs and feet swollen this morning when I got up. I even can't put on the slippers," said Hannah.
"What's wrong?" Susan was distracted and said, "I visited you the other day and you were fine. You look adorable with the baby bump."
"I have no idea. I might have to see a doctor later."
"You want me to go with you?" asked Susan.
"No, thanks. I can handle it. I guess it's just the oedema of pregnancy."
"I'll go with you."
"Listen, Susan. Focus on work. Or Manuel will replace fault with you again."
"Manuel, that asshole..." Susan held it back and murmured unhappily, "They are so annoying! I hate both of them!"
Hannah frowned.
"Manuel and Lilian!" said Susan straightforwardly.
Hannah realized it and couldn't believe Susan had connected them.
"If only they make a couple!" sighed Susan.
Hannah burst into laughter, "You'll cry your eyes out then!"
