Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth

Chapter 955 Susan's Guts

Oscar never liked attending any social events that weren't necessary. He usually sent Theodore in his place, and Theodore had grown accustomed to it. However, this time he hoped Oscar would go himself. The meeting was important for bridging commercial trade between countries.

"Remind me when the time comes." Oscar agreed. He was more rational than Theodore and wouldn't refuse anything he needed to do.

"Now that Manuel has left, I won't stay much longer either." Said Theodore. "I'm leaving."

"Okay."

Theodore left and Oscar watched his back before turning to Salem and Una. "Did you have fun today?!"

"It was so much fun!" Una exclaimed happily, "Auntie took us out for ice cream, we had fancy dinner, watched a movie and I even got to see my favourite Little Bunny."

Oscar smiled slightly and said, "As long as you're happy! But after spending the whole day outside, you both need a shower before dinner."

"Okay."

"Max, Zea," Oscar called them over.

"Yes?"

"Take the kids separately for showers."

"Yes, Commander."

Salem and Una followed Max and Zea to take their showers.

There was nobody except for him left in the spacious living room. Oscar was sitting there quietly for a while before getting up and heading back into his room.

Four years had passed just like that. Sometimes it seemed like time flew by too fast while other times felt like an eternity passed by in one day alone. He didn't even know what he lived for anymore sometimes. Was it just because of what Hannah had said? To take care of Salem?

In the car with Susan, who kept talking non-stop about how she despised Theodore's flirty ways, Manuel couldn't believe how energetic she could be all day long without rest.

He interrupted her mid-sentence saying, "Wasn't it tiring taking Salem and Una out with you today?"

"How can playing be tiring?" Susan retorted sarcastically.

"Don't take them away without asking Oscar next time."

"Manuel are you stupid or something?! With so many guards around Oscar's yard, do you think I could sneak off with two kids on my own? Oscar allowed me!"

Manuel felt that sometimes Susan was too smart for her good.

"Manuel," said Susan.

"What's wrong?" Manuel asked when he noticed her sudden sadness.

Usually, when Susan became sentimental, he would get very nervous.

"I saw a woman today from behind, she looked exactly like Hanna.," Susan said with tears in her eyes.

The image of that figure kept floating in her mind. Even though she could see that the woman's face was not Hannah's, she couldn't shake the feeling.

"Susan, there aren't miracles like that in this world."

"But we never found Hannah's body."

"That's because Oscar didn't give orders to look for it. Maybe he couldn't bear to see Hannah's body and accept what had happened. But in those conditions, there was almost no chance of survival." "But I just feel like Hannah isn't dead. I just feel like she is still alive." Stubbornly insisted Susan.

"Susan, people can't come back from the dead..."

"Manuel, are you hoping that Hannah is dead?"

"What can I say to defend myself?" Manuel thought to himself. He just didn't want to disappoint her again and again.

"How could you be so heartless?" Susan accused him through tears.

"Don't cry. Doctors say crying isn't good for our baby."

"Our baby? You only care about it now! What about me?!"

Manuel had seen enough of her irrational behaviour.

"You're the only one in my heart. My heart belongs only to you." He compromised.

"See! You're lying!"

"Susan..."

"You're always making excuses!" Susan interrupted him.

Manuel suddenly hugged her tightly. Before she could react or resist him any further, a kiss landed on a noisy and argumentative mouth of hers. Susan froze momentarily.

Usually speaking, Manuel wouldn't be animalistic with a third person around. He acted all gentlemanly in public. And now, a driver was sitting in front of them.

Susan blinked twice before realizing what was happening. She did not refuse but instead wrapped herself around his neck passionately kissing back.

Initially intending on silencing Susan's mouth briefly, Manuel didn't want to go deeper. As a result, Susan tempted him and they kissed passionately. The driver in the front seat was momentarily confused as to why there was no sound of arguing from the backseat. He looked through the rear-view mirror and quickly averted his gaze. It was clear that couples argue all the time, whether it was at home or in bed.

It took them a while to separate from each other after their passionate kisses. After they parted ways, Manuel's face turned red.

How could he look so innocent and harmless while he acted like an animal in bed? People who didn't know any better would think that Susan had been bullying him all along, which made her angry just thinking about it.

"Susan!" Manuel controlled his breathing.

"Yeah?" Susan responded. Although she had just enjoyed the kisses, she still felt angry after they finished.

"I fucking love you! Can't you feel it?!" Manuel gritted his teeth and whispered into Susan's ear.

Susan was taken aback. Manuel rarely spoke sweet words or used foul language. This was really out of character for him. His face became even redder after confessing his feelings to her. "Really?!" Susan asked with obvious delight on her face.

"So does this mean you'll spoil me with everything I want without getting mad at me or hurting me again?"

Manuel pursed his lips together and said, "Yeah."

"Well, then I'm going to attend Karami's new product launch event next week in the Capital." Said Susan playfully as she held onto Manuel's arm tightly.

Manuel stared intently at her without saying anything for a moment.

"I knew you wouldn't refuse." Said Susan, as she leaned against Manuel's shoulder coquettishly.

Manuel never thought that one day he would be tricked by someone like Susan. He wondered if her unreasonable behaviour earlier had only been done so that he would agree to attend the product launch event with her.

Of course, there was no way that Susan would admit it now.

She leaned into Manuel's arms and said, "Manuel, I feel like Hannah is still alive. I'm not trying to comfort myself. I truly believe she is still out there somewhere."

This time around, Manuel did not deny her opinion anymore. Deep down inside himself, he also hoped Hannah was alive too because if she were alive then maybe things wouldn't have ended up this way for Oscar.
