"Just tell me the room number and I'll go ask her myself."

Manuel gave her the room number, after which she turned around and headed for the door.

"Wait," Manuel grabbed her arm.

"What?"

"I'll come with you."

"No need, just wait outside the room for me. You make me nervous." Susan refused, "I can't perform well with you around."

"How are you supposed to 'perform'?" Manuel was confused.

"Anyway, don't follow me." Susan insisted.

"I'll walk you to the door at least." Manuel persisted.

Susan sighed in resignation and nodded her head. The two of them walked towards Besse's room together.

"Okay, now you can go back." When they reached Besse's door, Susan urged him to leave.

"I meant to wait for you at Besse's door," Manuel explained himself

This guy was too clingy.

Susan was forced to let Manuel escort her to Besse's door

"Now can you leave?" she asked once they arrived at their destination.

"When you come back later give me a call so I can pick you up." Manuel reminded her

"Manuel! It's only a few steps away from here!" She exclaimed in frustration,

"You're pregnant now. I'm worried about your safety." He replied seriously.

"What is there to worry about? Am I not fine?" She questioned him.

"You forgot how we had an abortion last time." He said sternly.

Susan became angry and embarrassed, saying, "Manuel! Are you still holding onto that child?"

"... No... I'm just tot trying not to have history repeat itself." He surrendered.

"I knew it! You remember this whole time!"

"No, I don't."

"Then why did you mention it again?" asked Susan. Her eyes started turning red as tears welled up inside of them.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more, just come back early, okay?"

She got what she wanted and smiled brightly at him. She loved seeing how much he doted on her even though he couldn't beat or control her. "That's enough then. You should go now." Said Susan

"I'll watch until after you've gone inside."

"Manuel..." Susan was a bit impatient.

With no other options left, Manuel turned around readying himself to leave but suddenly lowered his head and kissed her passionately.

It caught Susan off guard but also made her heart race faster than usual. She wondered why Manuel suddenly became so bold.

"Don't stare too hard at Doyle," Manuel warned seriously

"So that means all along your intention was this?" Susan laughed slyly.

"You are a married woman, you should abide by the rules of marriage."

"Okay." Susan surprisingly didn't argue with him, "Besides, Doyle isn't even staying in the same room as Besse, right?"

"What if he was?"

"I get it, you're jealous." Susan pushed him playfully and said, "You should go back now."

If he didn't leave soon, they would be up until dawn.

Manuel eventually left. Susan took a deep breath after watching him go. No matter what would happen, she must give herself a clear answer.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, someone called her from behind.

"Susan?"

She turned around and saw Besse standing there with a smile on her face. She didn't resemble Hannah, and when she saw her smiling face, Susan felt like crying for some reason.

As every minute passed, Susan was more convinced of that answer in her mind.

"What are you doing here?" Besse asked her with surprise in her voice

"I came to replace you." Susan controlled her emotions and replied calmly.

"To replace me?" Besse seemed confused.

"Can I come into your room?"

"Of course."

She walked over to where Susan stood and opened the door of an opulent suite that only had one person living in it, who was Besse herself. "What about Mr George?"

"Doyle just finished dinner with me but had some work stuff to take care of, so I came back first. Are you looking for him?" Besse asked casually "No no, I'm here for you." Susan quickly clarified.

Besse smiled. She seemed used to dealing with people with a personality like Susan's.

"Sit down for a while, let me get some drinks for you. What do you want?"

"Coke... never mind, I'm pregnant so just give me water please."

She gave up the beverage, in case Manuel would scold her again.

"Sure thing." Besse smiled again before going off into another room.

Her smile made all sorts of emotions well up inside Susan.

With glasses in her hand, Besse returned.

"I can hardly tell that you're pregnant."

"Really? Am I not getting fat?"

"Nope." Sitting next to Susan, Besse also drank water too.

"The main thing is your condition doesn't look like that of an expectant mother." Added Besse.

"Manuel says that too."Susan pouted.

"Your husband spoils you," Besse commented

"How did you know?"

"I'm not blind." Besse teased and said, "Last time when I saw you at the banquet, Mr Johnson never took his eyes off you. He was alert with you around, I saw his little movements when he was protecting you."

"Is that so?"

The happiness on Susan's face was conspicuous. She thought she was lucky enough to marry Manuel in the end.

"By the way, what are you asking me for?" Bessie asked.

They started chatting harmoniously.

"Oh, I brought you some cake." Susan handed the cake to her.

Bessie was a bit stunned and asked, "Just came for giving me the cake?"

"I just came from a child's birthday, so I had the cake."

"You mean the little boy named Sal?"

"How do you know?! Oh, did you meet Salem at the amusement park today?"

"Yeah, his name is Salem... Is he okay now?" Besse asked with concern.

"It's just a graze. But even though it's a graze, Oscar is too incompetent. He hasn't taken his son out once a year and a half. Now he finally took him out to play, and he let Sal get hurt. How can he be a father?" Susan complained.

Besse's face changed a bit and she said, "Is Oscar Salem's father?"

"Don't you know that? Haven't you met today?"

"He was wearing a cap and a mask, I didn't recognize him."

"Can't you recognize him?" Susan suddenly became a bit serious.

Besse frowned, feeling that Susan was a bit strange at the moment. "Isn't this weird? I'm not familiar with your commander after all."

"But," Susan said in a choked voice.

Inexplicably, Besse was very gloomy about Susan's tears.
