After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 974

Chapter 974 Susan’s Provocation

"I want a mom."

Salem's words made Oscar's heart skip a beat.

Oscar looked at him. Since his son had been always responsible and well-behaved, and never given him too much trouble, this sudden demand did catch him off guard.

"I want a mom too." Una quickly agreed when Oscar didn't know how to respond, "Other kids have a mom, why don't we? They have their moms pick them up from kindergarten, why don't Sal and I?"

Una was indignant as she spoke. Every time she saw other children being picked up by their mothers, she and her brother would envy them.

"Do you want a mom?" Oscar remained silent for a long time before asking them.

"Yes!" Una replied eagerly.

Oscar looked at Salem who nodded in agreement. They both wanted a mom, who would take care of their dad because they felt like Oscar couldn't take care of himself well. He always seemed so lonely being on his own all the time.

"I can't promise you right away but I will try my best," Oscar said gently.

"Is it hard to find a mom?" Una didn't understand, "Isn't there supposed to be one when we're born?"

"Your mom..." Oscar hesitated with his words because he wasn't sure how to explain it properly. He had never talked about the topic of 'mom' with them before; maybe it was taboo or perhaps he just hadn't realized the importance of having one in their lives until now when Salem brought it up first. He thought they didn't have expectations for a mom.

He blinked curiously at the two children, who seemed eager for an answer about where their mother went or what happened to her exactly.

"She'll come back." Oscar finally answered after some thoughtfulness on his part.

"How long will she be back?" Una asked impatiently, hoping that she could see her soon today even if possible.

"Dad can't guarantee that," Oscar replied honestly.

Una felt disappointed while Salem also shared similar feelings as they thought finding their Mom wouldn't be difficult after all.

"After Breakfast, Dad will take you guys out for some fun at the amusement park." Said Oscar, shifting gears quickly onto something more positive since there were no guarantees on whether or not their Mom would return anytime soon and he didn't want his children getting hurt by false promises.

"Amusement park?!" Una was instantly drawn in, "We're going to the amusement park!"

Oscar nodded with a smile.

"Yay, we can go to the amusement park, we can go with Dad! I want to ride the carousel, I want to ride the carousel!"

"Okay, okay." Oscar smiled and patted Una's head.

Una's liveliness was actually beyond his expectations. Cian's personality wasn't as outgoing. In fact, upon closer inspection, all of Cian's personality traits were forcibly solidified. If there weren't so many responsibilities, perhaps Cian would be like this too.

After breakfast, he took both children out with him. Besides their driver, Oscar didn't seem to have brought anyone else along. But, from the moment they left home until now, there were people hidden everywhere protecting them in secret.

The phone rang while they were in the car. Oscar glanced at who was calling before answering, "Theodore."

"You've left already?"

"Mhm."

"Do you want me to meet up with you?"

"No, just focus on work."

"Tell Salem happy birthday for me."
