Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth -
Chapter 1132 Gradual Change
Chapter 1132 Gradual Change
"Cough!" Oscar almost choked on his saliva.
According to Una's real identity, she should call Oscar "uncle".
"Did I say it wrong?" Una lowered her head and said uncomfortably. "I can't call you mom or auntie. What can I call you?"
A child's tears could easily melt everything. The words Hannah wanted to say were swallowed back down as she said, "You can call me whatever you want."
"I want to call you mom," Una's eyes lit up with excitement as she looked straight at Hannah. What a little clever girl.
"Is that okay?" Her eyes turned red again.
Hannah felt that it was a pity for Una not to become a star. Her acting skills were simply amazing.
"Mm-hmm," Hannah replied softly.
"
Una immediately broke into a smile through the tears. Hannah had a feeling of being tricked by this family. When she picked up her fork, she felt someone staring at her intently. She looked over and met Oscar's gaze. He wasn't even trying to hide his smile this time around.
Oscar noticed he was caught looking at Hannah and quickly turned his head away before saying, "I'll go get my portion." And he left in embarrassment. As soon as he left, Hannah resumed eating silently. "Mom, why is your egg shaped like a heart?" asked Una after comparing hers with Salem's plain-shaped eggs for quite some time now, wondering why theirs were so ordinary while Mom's was so pretty. "Do you want it?" asked Hannah.
"Can I have it?"
"Of course," replied Hannah directly as she handed over the heart-shaped fried egg which she would never eat herself anyway. Una was very happy with it.
Oscar came out carrying another plate of food looking displeased but telling himself not to be hasty about things yet. So he quietly ate while keeping his head down throughout breakfast. Although the familiar taste still reminded her of many things from their past together towards Oscar now -she had truly given up hope-there could be no chance of rekindling their relationship anymore.
She finished eating indifferently without any further conversation between them. Salem and Una went off to school after breakfast, carrying their small backpacks. Max would take care of transportation. Before they left though, Hannah told Max, "I talked about your situation with the principal already, finish this important event in your life sooner rather than later."
Max nodded shyly in response before leaving with Salem and Una. Hannah watched them leave.
When she returned to the living room, Oscar had already taken off his apron and was sitting on the couch reading a newspaper. Despite being in his thirties, he hadn't gained any weight over the years. Even wearing an apron made him look like a model.
Hannah walked past him without saying anything.
"Hannah, do you want to go out for a walk?" Oscar suddenly asked her.
Hannah frowned. Wasn't it dangerous outside? She came to his house for refuge and now he wanted her to go out?
"I'm here with you," Oscar seemed to sense Hannah's thoughts.
"No thanks."
She planned on leaving but then Oscar asked, "What would you like for lunch?"
"Anything is fine."
"How about some pig's ribs..."
"Oscar, don't you have work today?" Hannah interrupted him mid-sentence. She found him annoyingly talkative. The memory of Oscar from long ago seemed like who he was now.
"I took time off," said Oscar. "Because my arm is injured and I need rest."
A person who needed rest was still cooking himself. Hannah didn't want to expose him though so she kept quiet instead.
"I want to go back and rest now," said Hannah as she started walking away from him again.
"Okay, then I won't bother you." Replied Oscar. He acted like an obedient puppy and it almost annoyed her more.
She took a few steps forward and paused. Then she turned around to look at Oscar, who looked up to meet her gaze while reading newspapers. He smiled unconsciously. What an attractive face as he smiled. Hannah averted his eyes and asked, "Could I use your computer? Or, could you buy me a new one? I'll transfer the money to your account..."
"I'll get it for you." With that said, he left immediately as if Hannah would give up his computer if he moved too slowly.
Oscar came back with the laptop and handed it to Hannah.
"Thank you."
"The code is your birthday."
Hannah was confused.
"The PIN code." Added he.
"Okay."
Then she went back to her room. As she closed the door, she took a deep breath, for exposing her back under Oscar's steady gaze made her feel pressure. She placed the laptop on the coffee table before kneeling on the floor and opening it up. Then she typed in her birthday. As soon as the password was entered, a photo of her when she still had Hannah's face appeared on the computer screen. She couldn't remember when it was taken, but she looked so sweet and happy in the picture. Seeing her face from before made Hannah feel a bit strange and unfamiliar. She couldn't help but touch her cheek, reaffirming the idea that had formed in her mind.
Hannah logged into her email to start working on some things for work. Even though she had left Jolencami and Doyle behind, her designs were still there and they were about to release new products for the season. She had already designed half of them while at Jolencami, so now it was time to finish up.
Once Hannah started working, she became completely absorbed in it. After several hours of work that morning, Hannah reached out for some coffee. That had become habitual for her during work hours, so she felt like something was missing without coffee.
She got up from her desk and headed towards the lobby area, where Oscar was. When he saw Hannah come out he smiled at her.
"What do you need?" Oscar asked as if he could read what was going on inside of her mind.
"Is there any coffee at home?"
"I'll make some for you," Oscar replied with a smile.
"I can do it myself." Said Hannah stubbornly
"You might not be able to replace everything you need."
"Well then, can't you just tell me where everything is?"
Oscar thought about this briefly before saying, "No."
Hannah gritted her teeth before turning around to leave. But after taking a few steps away from him, she changed her mind and said, "Mocha, thank you."
"Okay." Oscar smiled smugly.
Feeling annoyed, Hannah failed to focus on her designs again, so she started waiting for the coffee after she saved the files.
Filled with boredom, Hannah opened one of the folders saved onto the desktop folder, which contained random video files. Since Oscar had agreed to let her use his computer, there shouldn't be any state secrets on the laptop. But when she saw what was in the video, she was dumbfounded.
