After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 1128

Chapter 1128 Una's Breakdown

Hannah spent a long time chatting with Susan in the room. It was only after dinner that they were allowed to leave, and they sat in the car. Hannah still had her back turned to Oscar as she quietly watched the familiar streets of Kensbury pass by, neon lights flickering through her thoughts.

"Do you want to go see your parents?" Oscar asked.

Hannah shook her head. "No need."

She was afraid of disappointing them again until everything settled down for real.

"Okay," Oscar replied and instructed the driver to head straight for the airport.

They returned to the Capital late at night around 10 PM. When Hannah walked into the lobby, Salem excitedly ran out and hugged her thigh tightly saying "Mom!" He seemed so thrilled that he held onto her leg as if he feared she would disappear again.

After Salem came home from school earlier that day, he had been texting Oscar non-stop asking where they were and whether his mother would come back. Fortunately, Dad didn't lie to him; he just waited patiently at home all this time until finally seeing them return safely home tonight. He even refused to let go of his mother's thigh when she touched his head affectionately. The little boy had been waiting for her until this hour.

As Hannah squatted down readying herself for a hug from Salem when suddenly a clear childish voice rang out beside her ear, "Mom."

She turned around and saw Una standing there wearing a pink dress with big sparkling eyes full of anticipation looking up at Hannah expectantly.

Hannah fell silent for a moment unsure how best to respond. Una looked disappointed.

Why could her brother call Mom but not her? Was Mom unhappy because she hadn't waited for her last night but went to sleep?

Una's eyes filled with tears instantly, looking pitifully sad. This child resembled Cian so much that it made one wonder about the Wells family genes being passed on so strongly through generations. Salem also looked like Oscar; both siblings bore an uncanny resemblance, making people mistakenly assume they were blood-related. Hannah realized that Oscar hadn't told the two of them everything.

Oscar called out gently, "Una, come over here with Dad."

Una looked at Hannah with hopeful eyes, but when she didn't respond, Una went to Oscar and cried in his arms. Hannah pursed her lips. If she were with Oscar now, she would treat Una as her child since Una was Cian's daughter. However, since she and Oscar were no longer together, she wasn't Una's mother either.

"It's getting late, Sal, go to sleep, let's go," Hannah said.

Salem was a sensitive child and felt the coldness between Hannah and Una. He turned around to look at Una crying on his father's lap but didn't say anything as he followed Hannah back to her room.

It was clear that Salem had something on his mind tonight. He seemed distracted. Hannah could sense it too and knew what he wanted to say. She put Salem into bed after taking off his coat.

"Did you take a shower?"

"Yes, I did when you were with Dad."

"Then let's go straight to bed."

"Can I still sleep with Mom?"

"Of course! You can always sleep with me when I'm here."

"What about... Una?" Salem asked while looking at Hannah.

Hannah smiled gently and said, "Una can't join us tonight."

"Don't you like Una?"
