Chapter 951 Four Years

Four years passed.

A stylish woman with two little ones in tow walked into a luxurious hotel in the Capital of Northfield. The woman yelled into her phone, "Manuel if you dare to yell at me again, I swear I'll take your son and jump off a building!"

Manuel was furious with Susan, who ran away from home when she was still in the third month of her pregnancy. Moreover, she took his cousin's two kids with her-Salem Wells and Una Wells. "Send Sal and Una back." Manuel tried to keep a soft voice while talking to Susan. He dared not to provoke her.

"What's wrong with taking them out for some fresh air? My Sal is cooped up inside studying all day long. If he doesn't get out soon enough, he'll turn into Oscar, who never smiled!" Susan complains indignantly, "I didn't even want to bring Una Wells with us but Sal insisted on taking his little sister along."

"Where are you now?"

"I'll be back once we're done playing around. Don't call me again. Don't affect my mood! The doctor said that pregnant women need positive emotions..."

"Don't eat ice cream or barbecue or street food..." Manuel tried again before Susan hung up on him.

After hanging up the phone, she took an oversized ice cream cone from Salem and started eating it leisurely.

"Aunt Susan, is Uncle Manuel mad?" asked Salem. He heard their conversation on the phone.

"He's just stingy," Susan said nonchalantly.

Today they argued while travelling from Kensbury City to the Capital since Manuel restricted her freedom to eat the food she wanted. Moreover, he was constantly talking when she was walking. So, in anger, she bought a plane ticket straight here and then went over to Oscar's house to bring Salem and Una out.

Salem and Una were almost five years old now but had never been seen by the media, so nobody recognized them.

"But Aunt Susan," Salem continued in his young voice which belied mature words, "You should still avoid cold food since you're pregnant; it isn't good for the baby brother or sister."

Salem was becoming more and more like Oscar as he grew up. There was almost no trace of Hannah left. The thought of Hannah caused Susan's heart to ache uncontrollably. She never even considered that Hannah would die, let alone in such a mysterious way.

She still remembered the day four years ago, when Manuel's face looked different than usual, with red eyes. She thought Manuel had cancer or something similar. After questioning him, Manuel finally told her that Hannah had died.

At the time, she didn't believe it. How could someone as healthy as Hannah just die? But when she went to visit her at her villa and found it empty, she realized it was true.

Later on, she went to the Capital where she learned that Hannah had died in the sea with Lillian, which meant Lillian killed her. However, there were no bodies found for either of them; only a photo buried under Hannah's grave.

During that time, Susan did not see Oscar at all because he was busy trying to save his own life after being critically injured. Although Susan didn't know what had happened with Lillian and Hannah, she wished Oscar would die for a moment. She thought Oscar must have something to do with Hannah's death. But in the end, only Oscar survived.

After lying in bed in the I. C. U. for half a year, Oscar appeared in front of people again. At the same time, Salem was brought back by Oscar from abroad. Little Salem initially rejected Oscar. And so did Hannah's parents. Salem was the only hope for them to live, perhaps. Oscar did not force Salem to live with him but allowed him to stay with his grandparents, Miguel and Michelle, in Kensbury City. But since then, no matter how late Oscar finished his work every day, he came back the Cooper Manor in Kensbury.

At first, though, Hannah's parents wouldn't allow Oscar inside their home but eventually relented after seeing Oscar wait outside the house for a whole night, leave the next morning and come back to Kensbury again in the evening. And that had lasted for years.

Eventually, Hannah's parents softened their hearts and let Oscar go into their home. They allowed Oscar to have contact with Salem too. At first, Salem rejected Oscar but eventually, he grew close to him.

Blood ties were hard to sever.

Another year went by. When Oscar fainted during a live TV interview due to exhaustion from his dedication in coming back every day to be with Salem in Kensbury City, the incident shocked Northfield and everyone believed that Commander had collapsed because of overwork. Only Hannah's parents knew the real reason behind it. Sometimes, Oscar came back as late as two or three o'clock in the morning.

Finally, after much compromise on both sides, they agreed and handed over Salem to Oscar, who brought his son back home with him to the Capital.

Fortunately for them all, Oscar was not completely insane yet. He understood how important Salem was for Hannah's parents so he made sure that every week they had some alone time together, even if it meant bringing him twice a week sometimes just so that they wouldn't miss out on seeing their grandson grow up.

The following years were peaceful under Oscar's leadership. Northfield prospered, while Susan finally emerged from her grief over losing Hannah.

She sighed heavily then patted Salem's head affectionately. Though Salem took after his father both physically and personality, Susan couldn't deny the charm of this little boy, who always drew attention from many ladies who wished their children could look half as good as this little boy did.

"Okay fine," Susan said to Salem, finally relenting. She didn't want to hurt his feelings. "Mm-hmm!" Salem replied while smiling sweetly. His smile looked like Hannah's.
