Chapter 883 Unwilling

Hannah sat next to Oscar in the back garden.

Oscar's heart was touched slightly, as they hadn't gotten along like this for a long time.

"The baby doesn't have a name yet, do you want to name the baby?" asked Hannah.

"Okay." Oscar readily agreed.

He had thought about a lot of names for their baby, but he was afraid that Hannah would refuse.

He said, "Salem."

Hannah looked at him.

"Peace and safety," Oscar explained again.

Hannah nodded. From the beginning of the embryo, the baby had been in various dangers. For her, the baby's safety was her greatest hope.

"Okay, let's call him Salem, Salem Wells."

Oscar smiled lightly. The heartfelt satisfaction of being recognized made it difficult for him to hide his emotions. In the past time, he thought that he was no longer qualified to name his child, and even less qualified to let the child bear his surname.

"By the way," Hannah suddenly thought of something.

"What's wrong?" Oscar asked.

"Did the Collins family make things difficult for you?" Hannah asked with concern.

Of course, Oscar knew what Hannah wanted to say. She was just expressing herself in a clever way.

"No. They also know what Mathew did touch my bottom line. But I can't kill Mathew now. He is the only son of Rowan, if I do that, they won't let it go. My biggest worry is the baby in Lillian's belly." "Well, I understand you," Hannah said considerately. It seemed that she supported his decision with an absolute attitude.

"Mathew broke a leg." Said Oscar.

Hannah was stunned for a second.

"This is the most I can do now." Oscar looked at her.

For now, that was all he could do. As for the following things, it would take some time.

"That's enough." Hannah smiled. "I thought you'd just knock Mathew out until he begged for mercy. I didn't expect it to cause substantial harm to him."

"I will do what I promised you," Oscar said firmly.

Hannah smiled slightly. But her smile was just perfunctory. She didn't have such high expectations for Oscar.

They talked for a while.

Nobody knew when, they were able to coexist peacefully like an ordinary couple, just a bit more courteous, cautious, and patient.

During supper, there was a table of dishes. Oscar took a hint and only ate the food on his plate.

Hannah couldn't bear it anymore. She was about to speak up when Michelle interrupted, "Your Commander, why aren't you eating other dishes?"

"That is enough for me," Oscar replied. He knew Michelle wasn't genuine, and he didn't want it to be too awkward.

"You won't get enough nutrition. If you just eat those rice on your plate, you will get skinny after leaving my house, then I'll be the eternal sinner of the Northfield!" Michelle said in a strange tone. Oscar didn't know if he should pick up other dishes or not.

"Have some pig heart." Michelle the initiative to serve Oscar.

Oscar was somewhat flattered.

"Eat what you lack. I had the chef make it specifically for you, have a try to see if it suits your taste." Said Michelle.

Oscar pursed his lips.

"Mom, can't you just enjoy the food?"

"I'm doing this for his good." Michelle said unhappily, "Compensating for his loss, he should eat more heart!"

"Mom."

"Alright, I won't eat anymore. I'll see if the baby's awake," Michelle said and got up.

Saying so, she put down her fork and walked away.

Hannah was somewhat helpless.

She turned to Oscar, "Don't take it personally."

"Alright," Oscar responded.

Miguel couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that his wife had crossed the line during this time. Regardless of anything else, since Hannah accepted it, as the older generation, they should just support her. Otherwise, it would be their daughter who would be embarrassed.

He spoke up, "She was sharp-tongued but not malicious."

Oscar was somewhat surprised. He looked up at Miguel and didn't expect him to side with him. When Oscar went to Hannah's hospital room, he saw how angry Miguel was with him. "Thanks, Dad," Oscar responded.

Miguel's hand, which was going to pick up the meat for Oscar, trembled. Miguel still couldn't live up to the word "Dad". He put the meat on his plate and took two bites. "I'm full. Take your time." Lorie had also eaten a few bites and stopped.

Later, there were only Oscar and Hannah left at the dinner table.

"You didn't eat much at lunch, now you should eat more." Hannah calmly invited him.

Oscar smiled, but there was a hint of melancholy in his expression.

In the end, he didn't eat much, and the dinner ended in an unhappy atmosphere. After the meal, the Cooper family continued to spend most of their time around the baby.

By the time the baby finally settled down, it was already 9 PM.

When Hannah was ready to go back to her room, she hesitated for a moment and went downstairs.

Oscar hadn't eaten much all day, so Hannah went to replace if there was anything as a midnight snack. After looking around the kitchen, she didn't replace any ready-made food. Though reluctant, she decided to make him some shrimp pasta.

She read a tutorial while she started cooking. It didn't seem complicated, but she was a little flustered while cooking.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in her ear.

Hannah was startled, and the garlic in her hand almost fell to the ground.

She turned to look at her mother. "You scared me to death."

"What are you doing in the kitchen by yourself?" Michelle asked.

"I'm not doing anything suspicious, I'm just cooking some pasta," Hannah said unhappily.

"Are you hungry?" Michelle asked.

"Well..." Hannah didn't want to lie to her mother.

"Is Oscar hungry?" Michelle's expression suddenly changed.

"Mom, he's here, what can we do? We can't just kick him out. You know I almost died trying to leave him before. Now I understand that everyone lives their life differently. I feel that staying with you and Dad, taking care of the baby, is the greatest happiness. As for other things, let's just take it as it comes." Hannah said.

Michelle sighed heavily, "I thought you would be happy marrying Oscar. Although his reputation wasn't good before, I could tell he was sincere towards you! I never thought it would end up like this. I don't blame Oscar, it's just that I'm a little unwilling to be good to him. Why is it that you helped him build his career in the first place, but now he married another woman?"

"I'm unwilling, too," Hannah said with a simper. Her voice was very soft, but so firm.
