Chapter 974 Susan's Provocation

"I want a mom."

Salem's words made Oscar's heart skip a beat.

Oscar looked at him. Since his son had been always responsible and well-behaved, and never given him too much trouble, this sudden demand did catch him off guard.

"I want a mom too." Una quickly agreed when Oscar didn't know how to respond, "Other kids have a mom, why don't we? They have their moms pick them up from kindergarten, why don't Sal and I?" Una was indignant as she spoke. Every time she saw other children being picked up by their mothers, she and her brother would envy them.

"Do you want a mom?" Oscar remained silent for a long time before asking them.

"Yes!" Una replied eagerly.

Oscar looked at Salem who nodded in agreement. They both wanted a mom, who would take care of their dad because they felt like Oscar couldn't take care of himself well. He always seemed so lonely being on his own all the time.

"I can't promise you right away but I will try my best," Oscar said gently.

"Is it hard to replace a mom?" Una didn't understand, "Isn't there supposed to be one when we're born?"

"Your mom..." Oscar hesitated with his words because he wasn't sure how to explain it properly. He had never talked about the topic of 'mom' with them before; maybe it was taboo or perhaps he just hadn't realized the importance of having one in their lives until now when Salem brought it up first. He thought they didn't have expectations for a mom.

He blinked curiously at the two children, who seemed eager for an answer about where their mother went or what happened to her exactly.

"She'll come back." Oscar finally answered after some thoughtfulness on his part.

"How long will she be back?" Una asked impatiently, hoping that she could see her soon today even if possible.

"Dad can't guarantee that," Oscar replied honestly.

Una felt disappointed while Salem also shared similar feelings as they thought replaceing their Mom wouldn't be difficult after all.

"After Breakfast, Dad will take you guys out for some fun at the amusement park." Said Oscar, shifting gears quickly onto something more positive since there were no guarantees on whether or not their Mom would return anytime soon and he didn't want his children getting hurt by false promises.

"Amusement park?!" Una was instantly drawn in, "We're going to the amusement park!"

Oscar nodded with a smile.

"Yay, we can go to the amusement park, we can go with Dad! I want to ride the carousel, I want to ride the carousel!"

"Okay, okay." Oscar smiled and patted Una's head.

Una's liveliness was actually beyond his expectations. Cian's personality wasn't as outgoing. In fact, upon closer inspection, all of Cian's personality traits were forcibly solidified. If there weren't so many responsibilities, perhaps Cian would be like this too.

After breakfast, he took both children out with him. Besides their driver, Oscar didn't seem to have brought anyone else along. But, from the moment they left home until now, there were people hidden everywhere protecting them in secret.

The phone rang while they were in the car. Oscar glanced at who was calling before answering, "Theodore."

"You've left already?"

"Mhm."

"Do you want me to meet up with you?"

"No, just focus on work."

"Tell Salem happy birthday for me."

"Okay."

Theodore hung up.

Meanwhile, Susan had been calling Theodore nonstop since he started talking on his phone with Oscar. And after that call ended, she called again and managed to reach him this time. "What's so urgent?" Theodore said irritably.

"Who are you talking to on your phone? You've been busy all day!" Susan sounded annoyed.

"Do you think I'm free all day long? I'm very busy."

Last night he finally managed not to have women accompany him but still couldn't sleep well afterwards, since he saw Little Bunny follow another man around instead of being by his side. The more he thought about it, the more agitated he got.

"But it doesn't matter anyway, you'll get what you deserve anyway." Said Susan with a sly smile.

"You should be the one that will get what you deserve! I'm doing everything for Northfield, if someday I die from overwork, the country will mourn for me and I'll become a great man in history!" "I'm talking about your womanizing, asshole."

"I don't want to fight with you in the morning!" said Theodore, vexed.

"Do you think I have nothing better to do than pick fights all day with a big belly? I called you just to tell you, Theodore, that you finally got what's coming to you! You've got cheated on. Ahahaha!" Susan laughed exaggeratedly.

She looked like she was enjoying his misfortune.

"You're the one who got cheated on," Theodore said speechlessly.

"Manuel is different from people like you. He only has me and everything is clean and pure. You're just dirty!"

"Susan!"

"Are you ashamed of yourself?" Susan wasn't afraid of Theodore at all, "Just read the news yourself. Finally, it's your turn for karma!" Susan said and began laughing at him. Then she hung up the phone. Theodore couldn't help but start to read the news.

A piece of news popped up on the screen of his phone, reading, "Little Bunny and Addison Chasey's romance suspected exposure."

He had never even bothered looking at these kinds of news articles before. Even if it was about Little Bunny, he used not to be interested either. However, he cared about the news about her this time. Theodore then saw pictures of them being intimate together. There were pictures someone took when they got in a car, got off a car together and got into a hotel.

Damn!

Theodore couldn't control his rage any longer. At this point, Susan sent him a message, reading, "Did you see that?"

Theodore didn't even want to respond. But Susan sent him a few photo shoots of Addison Chasey immediately with another message, "He looks more handsome than you."

Theodore was so furious with Susan that he wanted to smash his phone into pieces.

He slammed his phone onto the desk with a loud "bang."

At this moment, his secretary happened to walk over, preparing to report some business matters. But upon seeing Theodore's appearance, she quickly retreated out without saying anything else. She thought her boss was venting out frustration because Mr Commander hadn't come to work today.
