After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 831

Chapter 831 Susan’s Call

Oscar showed no answer. He stood up and walked over to her. Though a bit hesitant, she still showed her acquiescence. He approached to face her back and put on the necklace for her.

With her hair being trimmed ear-length, the fair skin on her nape was exposed under his eyes. So were her adorable ears.

She could feel how close he was. Of course, she could feel the necklace, together with its cold touch, put on around her neck. But she made no reaction even if she could tell Oscar was approaching. The next second, she could feel his hot breath about to fall upon her neck. But suddenly, he stood up straight. Then he returned to his seat. It seemed that his attempt to kiss was nothing but an illusion.

"It suits you perfectly." Said Oscar casually.

"Thank you." Whatever, she considered it necessary to say thanks. After all, she could tell the necklace must be priceless even though she didn't even take the time to carefully look at it.

Oscar didn't show any unusual response to her weird formality. Instead, he smiled, "Come on, time for dinner."

Hannah picked up the knife and fork and started eating. Surrounded by a romantic atmosphere, the relationship between them was worsening. But the next second, Hannah turned to look outside the window. Tremendous fireworks started blossoming in the sky, painting the mountain with various colours. It suddenly reminded her of their wedding, where Oscar surprised her with fireworks for the very first time. Though it felt a bit exaggerated at that time, she got to admit that all ladies in the world would fall for such an impressive gift. And Hannah was no exception. However, now it looked more like the greatest mockery against their relationship.

She felt nothing touching inside her heart. Sitting still, she watched the firework blankly, which lit up the sky and then fell into the abyss. She couldn't help wondering if her relationship with Oscar was like the fireworks right now-no matter how impressive it looked at the beginning, it would finally fade away.

The fireworks didn't finish until quite a while later. Mount Northfield was of great height, the top of which enabled anybody to have an overall view of Kensbury. Thus, the fireworks lit up here could also be seen from every corner of the city.

Leaning upon the fence inside the garden, Theodore was watching the fireworks. Of course, he could tell it must be Oscar's doing. But he couldn't tell if it could change Hannah's mind for even a bit. While smoking, he continued to watch. During these days, he had been with Oscar. He didn't return home until yesterday. As soon as he arrived, he threw himself to sleep and didn't wake up until today's afternoon. His schedule for overseas travel with Oscar before had been fully occupied. At that time, he found it quite confusing. Why did Oscar schedule their time like that? Now he finally realized the reason-Oscar intended to return as soon as possible only to celebrate her birthday.

Theodore couldn't help sighing. Perhaps it still wouldn't work to change her mind, he reckoned. He snubbed the cigarette and went back to the room.

Inside the bedroom, Little Bunny had just finished breastfeeding the baby. Some smelt of breast milk still lingered in the air. It was so tempting to him. As soon as Little Bunny handed over the baby to the nanny, she saw Theodore returning.

He just arrived home last night. As soon as he finished dinner at that time, he fell into a sound sleep for a whole day. She supposed he was going to spend one more day sleeping as well. But then he got up in the afternoon and started hanging around in the house. Little Bunny had no idea when he would leave. She had never expected his return. She had even contacted her assistant at that time, planning for returning to her career. She wanted to start her career as a celebrity when the baby reached six-month-old. She believed her marriage with Theodore wouldn't be likely to last forever. Of course, neither did she want to spend the rest of her life with him. She wanted to live her own life. And so did Theodore, she reckoned.

"You are gonna take a shower?" asked Theodore.

She nodded to reply.

"Let me join in." Said Theodore easily.
