Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 913

Chapter 913 Salem's First Birthday Party

Susan chatted with her secretary for quite some time. The conversation ended with the secretary saying, "Wishing you a good pregnancy."

Damn, she wanted a "good pregnancy," but someone was too stingy to give out benefits.

Susan lay back down on the bed, sleeping.

She was so hungry that she couldn't fall asleep before. But in this drowsy state, sleepiness came again. Just as she was dozing off, she felt someone kissing her. Susan woke up from her dream and saw Manuel pressing down on top of her.

"Manuel!" Susan quickly stopped him.

Manuel smiled and said, "Looks like kisses work."

"What works?" Susan kept pulling the clothes to cover herself.

"You're awake now," Manuel said.

What kind of way was that to wake someone up?!

It scared the crap out of her.

"Get up and eat some porridge." Manuel got off of her body.

Susan breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Manuel wasn't too crazy about it.

Manuel brought over the porridge, scooped a spoonful near Susan's mouth and said, "Eat it."

Looking at Manuel suspiciously, she asked, "You're feeding me?"

"Don't you like it?"

"Sudden happiness makes me afraid you'll take advantage of me." Susan looked very serious, "Do you want to feed me until I'm full then eat me?"

Manuel was speechless, "I don't always do that."

"Hmm?" Susan wondered.

"I need rest too." Explained Manuel.

Men were different from women after all.

Susan sneered; no matter what he said was useless anyway.

But in the end, Susan still didn't refuse Manuel's kindness. The two took turns to share the porridge with the same spoon.

Happy days were truly sweet as honey.

However, some families were happy while others were worried.

When Hannah received Oscar's message, she was watching Clara's news broadcast. Clara was someone she had never met, but because Susan often complained about her, she had a feeling that she knew Clara well. And because of this, when this woman suddenly revealed such a scandal, she couldn't help but wonder if it was karma catching up to her. But no matter what, Clara's downfall was at least good news for Susan. It meant one less ticking time bomb in her life.

Just as she was feeling slightly better about things, she received a message from Oscar. The feeling at that moment could only be described as bittersweet. Just as happiness began to bloom within her, something sad happened too. Her mood would be greatly affected by it.

She looked at the message content: "Do you want to come to the Capital?"

So after sleeping with Lillian last night, did he feel guilty and wanted to make it up to her?

Otherwise, why hasn't Oscar asked her to visit the Capital all this time?

Hannah edited a text message, saying, "No. Sal has been having a bad cold lately and I'm taking care of him."

Actually what Hannah wanted to reply was: "You felt guilty the first time. After a few more times, it would become routine."

There wasn't any response for quite some time before another message came through, reading, "How is Sal doing?"

"The doctor said he just has a little cold and will get better in a few days. But when Sal isn't feeling well he only wants me around; my mom or nanny can't replace me. If I leave now he'll cry non-stop." Hannah explained calmly.

"Okay. Take care." Oscar responded again with two more words, "Thank you."

Hannah didn't bother replying anymore since there were plenty of excuses available like holding onto Salem or not seeing the phone messages.

On the other end of the phone line, Oscar waited for quite some time but didn't receive any more messages from Hannah.

He had summoned up great courage just now to ask if Hannah wanted to come to visit him in the Capital.

He couldn't go back home right now since Rowan seemed ready for action anytime which meant that Oscar couldn't let his guard down even slightly. So his only way of seeing Hannah would be her coming over here instead. He even wondered how many more times they could meet.

It might very well be their last chance.

Oscar leaned back on his office chair looking out into the vast expanse outside through floor-to-ceiling windows, as far as his eyes could see lay all of the Capital beneath him. But he was tired.

He was never meant to be the heir of the Wells family.

It wasn't him from the beginning.

Time passed by, sometimes faster than one could imagine. Unknowingly, Salem turned one year old. The critically ill newborn had grown into a little boy who could walk, talk and bring joy to everyone around him.

On his birthday, Susan called early in the morning.

"How are we going to celebrate my godson's birthday today?"

Hannah replied, "Haven't thought about it yet? Let's just buy a cake and celebrate it with the family. Then let Salem make a wish."

"Don't tell me you didn't think about it," Susan said louder.

Manuel was brushing his teeth in the bathroom when he heard Susan's loud voice.

Didn't she call enough last night?!

"Come over tonight with Manuel. I'll have my mom prepare some dishes." Said Hannah calmly.

"That's it?" Susan sounded dissatisfied.

"Sale has a special identity; you know he can't be too publicized. But for him, as long as we accompany him and his super cute godmother is there with us, he will be very happy."

"Although I'm flattered that you think I'm super cute and my mood is great because of that compliment." Said Susan sarcastically. "But every time I think of the jerk, Oscar Wells, it makes me angry! How did I persuade you back then? When did you ask him to destroy your marriage after crashing into his car back then? Didn't I say how much of an asshole he was?! Look at what happened now! Wasn't my intuition spot on?"

"Yes, you're right." Hannah agreed while flattering her, "You have the best judgment when it comes to people; otherwise how could you end up with the best man in this world under your arm?"

"Well said." Susan looked proud but suddenly remembered something else and became serious again, "Is Oscar coming back to Kensbury today?"

"He won't come back," Hannah answered truthfully.

"How much worse can Oscar get?! He hasn't come back for so long without seeing you or Salem! If he doesn't care about both of you anymore why does he still bother pestering you?! He was so greedy and despicable!" Susan was infuriated.

"He has many things on his plate right now."

"Busy showing affection towards another woman or taking care of his precious daughter?" mocked Susan bitterly

Sometimes Hannah couldn't win against her friend's sharp tongue,

Of course, Susan was not rambling anyway.

Recently there had been frequent news reports about Oscar's sweet family life with three members enjoying their time together. And Oscar hadn't been back to Kensbury since Una Wells was born. After she refused his message asking her to go to the Capital, he never mentioned it again.

She was thinking about whether Oscar had compromised.
