Chapter 954 Oscar, Manuel and Theodore

Little Bunny said, "I heard that Karami's two chief designers, Doyle, who is the face of Karami and Besse, who is a new rising designer, will both be at the event. You can try to arrange a meeting with them and secure the first order for their new collection."

Susan was intrigued. Karami's haute couture was notoriously difficult to obtain. It wasn't just about having money; it required connections as well. Meeting them in person might open up opportunities for her in the future. Excited by this prospect, Susan readily agreed, "Please reserve the tickets for me. I'll be there on time."

"Sure thing." Little Bunny replied.

"What about Theodore? Did you invite him?" asked Susan.

Little Bunny chuckled lightly and said, "I haven't seen him in two or three years."

"You mean you didn't even see him when you went to see Nicholas?" Susan asked incredulously.

"When I went to see Nicholas, he was not in Kensbury City."

Susan knew what she meant. Theodore had always been unreliable when it came to matters of love and relationships.

"Well, we're used to it now." Little Bunny continued nonchalantly, "Next time I see him, I'll remind him about our divorce."

Susan replied without much enthusiasm. Although Theodore was currently successful and influential, living with a man like him would be every woman's nightmare.

"Anyway," Little Bunny interrupted her thoughts, "I have to go on stage now. Next time you come to one of our events, I will treat you and Mr Johnson to dinner."

"Sounds good." Susan hung up the phone with a sigh.

Theodore would get his comeuppance sooner or later.

"Auntie, was that Little Bunny?" Una asked curiously.

"Yes! She also promised me an autographed photo for you next time I meet her." Susan smiled warmly at Una's excitement over this news.

"Hooray! Auntie rocks!" Una jumped up excitedly.

Seeing how innocent Una was made her hold back those complicated feelings once again.

Before 5 PM that day, Susan brought Salem and Una back into Oscar's place. She didn't dare to take them out for too long in case something happened. She led them into the living room. As soon as they walked in, her face turned green. She knew Manuel would be there waiting for them. She wondered how long he had been waiting here.

Not only Manuel but also Oscar had unusually finished his early shift, and Theodore was also present. The three of them were sitting on the sofa chatting and drinking tea when they saw Susan return with Una and Salem.

There was no special emotion when they saw them come back, but Una was more excited than anyone else. She ran over to Oscar's arms and called out, "Daddy!"

Oscar hugged Una tightly. Every time Una acted spoiled in Oscar's arms, Susan felt a little uncomfortable inside. She looked back at Salem, who appeared calm and used to this kind of family interaction style. Moreover, Salem doted on Una.

"Uncle Manuel, Uncle Theodore." Said Una in Oscar's embrace as she actively called out their names.

It must be said that this little girl was very likeable. Even Manuel couldn't resist reaching out to hug her.

"Ahem!" Susan coughed.

Manuel pursed his lips, his hand retracting again. Theodore looked at him teasingly, "Manuel, you're henpecked!"

Manuel blushed under Theodore's mockery.

"Being henpecked is better than being irresponsible like some men." Susan sneered. She held onto Salem's hand as she walked towards the sofa.

"Susan, every time I see you, you're like a hedgehog. I didn't provoke you, did I?"

"I represent all womenfolk, to eliminate harm for the people."

"Susan!"

"Susan." Manuel tried to stop her gently.

"Manuel, you're helping him!" Susan pouted as Manuel softly called her name.

Susan looked at him incredulously with a face full of grievances. Manuel was speechless. She was becoming more skilled at acting every day.

"Do you want your son to lose his father right after he is born?" threatened Susan. Manuel pursed his lips again.

Theodore was surprised, "You're pregnant?!"

Oscar also seemed shocked. Everyone turned their heads towards Susan. She rolled her eyes helplessly.

"Is that unusual? What is that so shocking?" asked Susan.

It seemed like only their wives could get pregnant. Oh yeah, Oscar didn't have a wife. He would be alone for the rest of his life. Theodore was about to be fired by his wife soon too. They were both men that nobody wanted, but she didn't care about them.

"How long has it been?" Theodore asked curiously.

"Not even three months," Manuel replied.

"You didn't tell us for three months?! Manuel, you're not a good brother!" Theodore exclaimed, "I was going to invite you guys out for drinks tonight! It's been so long since I've had a drinking contest with Susan!"

"Maybe next time." Manuel brushed him off.

"That's too bad!" Theodore joked again, "I thought there was something wrong with your health before! Oscar and I were discussing taking you to the hospital for a check-up."

"You're the one with problems!" Susan got angry, "Manuel is doing just fine, better than all of you!"

Theodore looked at Susan and complained, "Can't you stop being so protective of your husband?!" "Jealous?!"

"Don't make me laugh, only Manuel would die on a crooked neck tree."

"Who are you calling crooked neck?!" Susan got mad again.

"Susan, the doctor said don't get angry," Manuel called out beside her.

Every time Susan saw Theodore, they could never avoid fighting each other. But after drinking together they always reconciled in the end. Manuel admired these their childishness. Manuel had no choice but to say, "I'll take Susan back to Kensbury City."

"Do you want to eat before leaving?" Theodore asked again.

"No thanks, my mom is waiting for us." Manuel quickly replied.

"Okay." Oscar agreed as well. He also knew how much pressure there was on Manuel when it comes to taking care of his wife and their relationship together.

"Well, then I'll go first."

"Mm-hmm"

Manuel held onto Susan's hand carefully as he escorted her away from there. Theodore watched their backs disappear into the distance. He couldn't help but think that the two of them, who he previously thought were unreliable, had managed to live up to everyone's expectations by having such an enviable relationship.

"I never expected that things between Susan and Manual would turn out this well." Theodore sighed emotionally.

Oscar remained silent throughout their conversation.

"Oh right." Suddenly remembering something important, Theodore pulled out an invitation card and said, "An invitation card from Karami, asking you to attend their new product launch event. You interested? The chief designer behind this commercial brand is something, just give him some face. It's not like this business brand itself matters much though."
