How could she forget him?
Hannah dared not move her eyes off Oscar, the man before her, for fear that he would vanish on her in an instant.
"One minute left." Charles reminded them. He was very satisfied with the sight that Hannah and Oscar were feeling so bad as if they were about to be apart by death.
He just wanted to separate them and see them suffering. That brought him elation.
"Go back early." Oscar urged when there was still one minute left.
It made Hannah feel like Oscar had given up on everything.
Her vision blurred, she knew Oscar didn't want her to see him in such a mess. She pursed her lips and got ready to leave.
"Wait," Charles stooped her suddenly.
She looked at him with cold eyes, seeing him walk up to her.
He said to Oscar, "She is so beautiful. Without you, she can still date a thousand guys."
Hannah knew what Charles was up to. He was trying to provoke Oscar. He was just disgusting.
"Come on, show Oscar how appealing your body is to men," Charles said to Hannah.
Hannah bit her lips.
"Aren't you married?" Charles asked while Hannah just stood there motionlessly and tugged on her clothes.
"Didn't you see each other bodies a long time ago as husband and wife? Why are you still shy?" Charles said sarcastically.
With complacency, he thought he was toying with them, like a cat with two rats.
For so long, ever since Hannah was married to Oscar, he had been under their pressure, and he had been aggrieved until now. Finally, he could torture them like that.
"I got it. You haven't seen each other for a month now, it's normal to be a little strange." Charles acted out like a scene choreographed by himself.
Hannah looked at Charles full of hate. She knew that this man wouldn't give up playing some tricks.
Charles thought Hannah had seen through him, but he cared little about it.
What could she do then? She could not even resist.
From now on, ending Hannah's and Oscar's lives was as easy as drawing his next breath, Charles thought.
"Come on, let me help you." Said Charles.
"Charles!" Hannah burst out finally.
All those painful memories Charles brought to her in her previous life, and what he had done to them just now, made her have thought of mutual destruction. But no matter what would happen, she wanted to keep Oscar safe.
Charles was having too much fun at the sight of Hannah's scarlet red eyes.
He had dreamed to treat her like this long ago, thinking about the insult she brought him at her wedding banquet and the embarrassment she gave him many times in the business.
