After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire -
Chapter 895 Stay Out All Night Long
Chapter 895 Stay out All Night Long
She felt like screaming out.
It must be an obvious provocation from Hannah, she believed.
She knew Hannah might have predicted that Oscar would head to the hospital tonight. That was why she planted such a love bite on his neck, which looked too conspicuous to ignore. Hannah meant to be showing off, she believed.
However, while facing both Oscar and Theodore, she got to hold back her anger and feign a normal look.
However, deep inside her heart, she was overwhelmed with jealousy.
As soon as Oscar put the baby back into the crib, he was about to leave.
"Oscar." Lillian couldn't help calling his name.
Oscar looked back at her.
"I feel like I am good for nothing." Lillian looked rather self-condemned.
Though impatient, Oscar didn't throw a tantrum, "It's your first time to be a mother. I am sure you will learn and make it better."
"I believe I will." Said Lillian confidently.
Oscar simply nodded, "Alright, I think it's time for you to go to bed."
"Are you leaving?" asked Lillian.
"Mhm."
"Okay, sorry to interrupt you and Hannah. I know she barely has the chance to come to the Capital." She forced out a smile.
"Alright, good night." He seemed to be running out of patience.
And Lillian could also notice that.
The way he spoke to her sounded perfunctory.
"Oscar... I am a bit scared to stay alone here..." She hurried to continue as Oscar was about to leave.
He turned around to look at her.
"I know there are doctors, nurses, carers and nannies here. I know it sounds ridiculous that I am scared but I just somehow feel like I'm insecure. When the baby was crying, I was panicking." She almost burst into tears again.
"Ever since I was born, I have been proud and believe myself to be more brilliant than the common. But I have never expected that I was so helpless when facing the baby."
Oscar stayed still in silence.
Sobbing, she continued, "I have been looking forward to the baby's birth because I have been wondering about the face of my baby with Cian. Perhaps I am so afraid to lose her that I am so scared and insecure."
While speaking, she started shedding tears.
Standing still, Theodore was about to drive Oscar back home after he lulled the baby to sleep.
After all, he felt a bit guilty for getting Oscar away from Hannah.
But now when facing Lillian's helpless look, he felt like it would be cruel to her if he simply left with Oscar like that.
Of course, he could tell it must be a hard choice for Oscar as well.
"I am sorry. I don't even know when I have become so sentimental. Alright, just go back home. I bet Hannah is still expecting you." Lillian forced out a smile while wiping off her tears.
"Just go to bed. I will be staying till you fall asleep."
Lillian let out a complacent smirk secretly.
She knew the more helpless she pretended to be, the more likely that Oscar would stay.
She knew how important the baby was to Oscar, of whom she could take advantage to get what she wanted.
But still, she pretended to be surprised, "No, you don't have to. Just go back home to stay with Hannah. I don't want your relationship to be worse because of me. I am guilty of her for what had happened between us... I am afraid she would hate me."
"No... She has never been a narrow-minded type. Just go back to sleep." Said Oscar softly to comfort her.
"But, Oscar..."
"Just go to bed." Oscar urged.
Upon hearing that, Lillian no longer continued. She appeared rather obedient.
Though it was she who figured out an excuse to make him stay, she looked like being intimidated.
Then she got onto the bed while Oscar was sitting on a sofa beside her bed.
Theodore had no idea if he should leave or not.
"Theodore, you can leave first." Said Oscar.
Theodore nodded and then took a peep at Lillian, "May I smoke with Oscar for a few minutes?"
"Sure." Answered Lillian.
"Alright, let's go." He spoke to Oscar.
Then Oscar followed him to the smoking area.
"What about Hannah? Shall I explain to her?" asked Theodore, who looked worried after noticing that Oscar would be staying with Lillian. Hannah could be possibly irritated, he supposed. While smoking, Oscar shook his head.
Theodore felt like Oscar was getting more and more taciturn ever since Cian's death.
It seemed that he had been holding everything deep inside his heart while being unwilling to confide to anybody.
Theodore found it so confusing whenever he noticed Oscar was writhing in pain alone.
"Theodore," Oscar suddenly uttered.
"Yes?"
"With so many professional people here, are you sure none of them could figure out why the baby was crying?" Oscar kept on murmuring.
Theodore was rendered stunned.
Though it sounded reasonable for Lillian, a novice mother, to be confused about it, it was the same to Oscar, who had just noticed that the label for the baby's outfit should be facing outward. It wouldn't be likely that those with professional skills, including the nannies and nurses failed to figure out the reason why the baby was crying.
So the truth appeared to be rather obvious.
After realizing that, Theodore turned to look at Oscar, who nodded at him in reply.
With such a friendship of long time, even simply exchanging a peep with each other would be enough to allow both of them to read each other's minds.
"It's getting late. You gotta leave." Oscar snubbed the cigarette.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Theodore was a bit confused.
Since they all noticed that it was a part of Lillian's trick, he considered it unnecessary for Oscar to stay.
"But that's the trick I gotta follow."
Theodore couldn't help shivering.
"Alright, time for you to leave." Oscar ended the conversation.
Then he turned around to return to the suite.
Theodore didn't leave until he stared at his back for quite a while.
Actually, at the very beginning, both Oscar and Theodore still reserved a bit of tolerance for what Lillian had done.
However, if she kept on offending the bottom line, she would have to pay the price she deserved.
When Hannah woke up the next morning, as expected, she was left alone inside the room.
She knew Oscar wouldn't return.
And she knew he never honoured the promise he made to her.
Of course, she had already predicted that Lillian would figure out some excuses to get him away from her last night. That was why she specifically printed those hickeys on his neck during sex. She could tell what it meant to Lillian when she saw it with her own eyes.
How long could Lillian keep on wearing that disguise?
She believed it wouldn't be long before either Oscar or Theodore started to grow suspicious of her.
One day, she would stick her neck out.
And also, Oscar would still notice that Lillian was disguising her affection in the relationship with him someday in the future.
Once Lillian's real thoughts got noticed, both Theodore and Oscar would start valuing what she had done from a different view. That was why Hannah was here-she needed to drive a wedge between Lillian and Oscar.
