After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 969

Chapter 969 An Unqualified Father

Oscar watched as Besse walked away. She didn't pause for him, not even for a second.

"Where is Besse?" Doyle's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"She went back to her room."

"Why did she leave on her own?!" Doyle sounded annoyed, "Well, I'm going back too then."

"Okay." Oscar nodded politely.

"Thanks for dinner, Mr Commander," Doyle said with a courteous smile before leaving in a hurry.

Left alone in the restaurant, Oscar remained seated for quite some time. He couldn't bring himself to leave just yet. He wasn't ready to let go of the moment they shared.

But then his phone rang and he glanced at the caller ID before answering it.

"Theodore."

"Oscar! You're still not home?!"

"Do you have something important to tell me?"

"I found the information you asked me to look up and sent it over to your phone. But I also printed out a hard copy that I'll bring over so you can study it properly."

"Just leave it at my house," Oscar replied calmly.

"I'm coming over right now." Theodore said urgently, "When will you be home?"

"Soon."

"I have something else tonight so once I drop off the documents at your place, I'll be leaving immediately, okay?"

"Sure thing."

"Come back early."

"Mhm."

"Oh, by the way, did you go see Besse?" Theodore couldn't resist being nosy again.

Oscar didn't answer.

"Once you read through those documents yourself, you'll realize that there's no mistaking who she is."

Theodore sighed heavily on the other end of the line but didn't argue any further as Oscar hung up abruptly without another word spoken between them.

Finally getting up from his seat in resignation after ending their call, Oscar left the hotel. He had a familiar feeling while walking on the track of Besse.

When he was back at Commander's Estate later that night, Theodore had left without seeing him again. A pile of documents had been put on the table.

"Dad."

Oscar put down the documents in his hand and turned to look at Salem. Then he checked the clock on the wall and asked, "Sal, why aren't you asleep at this hour?"

"Uncle Theodore came here and I was wakened up. He said you're coming back home so I was waiting for you." Said Salem.

"What are doing still awake? It's late."

Oscar felt guilty about making Salem wait like this. Then he stood up and walked over to stroke his head, saying, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

"Tomorrow is my birthday."

Not until then did Oscar realise that. He was indeed not a qualified father.

"Can you come back home early tomorrow? I want to have dinner with you, Dad." Asked Salem.

Salem was always so well-behaved, sometimes to the point of making Oscar feel sorry for him. At this moment, he asked carefully as if afraid of disturbing Oscar's work.

Oscar crouched down to be at the same height as Salem and said, "Dad will spend a whole day with you tomorrow."

"Really?" Salem exclaimed in surprise. The next second, he tried hard to calm himself down and asked cautiously, "Will it delay your work time?"

"Nope," Oscar smiled, "Dad took leave these days to accompany you and Una."

"Really?" Salem was surprised again, "You won't go to work at all? No early mornings or late nights?"

"I'm sorry," Oscar apologized sincerely, "I've been too busy lately that I neglected you and Una."
