Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009 He’s a Loser

Little Bunny paused for a moment as Theodore walked in, breathing heavily. He had almost been stuck in traffic on his way here and was running late by half an hour since Oscar had messaged him. As he stepped into the elevator, he noticed that the floor button had already been pressed. Turning around, he saw a woman inside wearing a duckbill cap, sunglasses, mask and loose clothing that couldn't hide her stunning figure.

"Are you sure you're going to this floor?" Theodore asked her.

This was the restaurant where they were supposed to have dinner tonight, one that Theodore himself arranged.

"Mhm," Little Bunny nodded hesitantly. She realized it might not just be her and Susan dining together tonight, but she didn't want to turn back now either. She didn't want to see Theodore but also didn't want to let Susan down.

"Whatever," Theodore said dismissively when he saw how coldly the woman responded. He wasn't feeling particularly kind today anyway; even if they went up together, she would still be kicked out of the room eventually, he reckoned.

The elevator arrived at their destination and Theodore quickly walked out, while Little Bunny waited for a few moments before following him into the restaurant, where staff stopped her for identity verification while letting Theodore pass without issue.

Theodore turned to look at the woman and snorted. Then he directly walked into the room.

"I'm sorry I kept you all waiting." Apologized Theodore as soon as he saw everyone was waiting for him. "I got stuck in traffic. I'll punish myself by drinking."

"Don't flatter yourself. We're not waiting for you." Susan began.

"Then why didn't you start?" Theodore thought it was a poor lie.

"We were waiting... for Little Bunny!" Susan exclaimed suddenly upon seeing her friend walk through the door wearing fewer layers than earlier. She had removed her hat, sunglasses and mask, revealing herself completely now.

Little Bunny smiled slightly towards Susan then turned towards everyone else who seemed surprised yet relieved at seeing who finally arrived.

"Hi, Susan," she greeted her politely despite feeling somewhat awkward under others' scrutiny.

Then she took the initiative to greet everyone in the private room.

At that moment, Little Bunny was surprised to see Besse with them.

"Mr Wold." Little Bunny greeted him.

"..."

Theodore suddenly felt uncomfortable. Wasn't he her husband? Why was she so formal with him?

Susan couldn't help but laugh at their awkwardness, "No wonder no one believes you're a couple with this distance between you two."

Little Bunny felt embarrassed while Theodore glared at Susan.

Manuel quickly defused the situation, "Now that everyone is here, let's start eating."

"Okay," Susan eagerly agreed. "I'm starving!"

"You didn't have to wait long." Little Bunny said.

"No worries," Susan said. "Theodore just got here too."

Little Bunny felt warm inside from Susan's reassurance.

"Besse," Susan called out to her twice.

Besse snapped out of her thoughts and awkwardly smiled, "What's up?"

"Let me introduce you to Miguel and Michelle," Susan said, "They are Salem's grandparents and this is your first time meeting them."

"Yes," Besse politely replied, standing up and picking up a glass of wine before offering a toast. "Nice to meet you, Mr and Mrs Cooper."

"Hello dear!" The two elders also raised their glasses. "If we hadn't seen your face for that one second, we almost mistook you for our daughter."

Besse knew exactly who they were talking about and laughed lightly before responding, "Commander, Susan and Manuel have all made that mistake before."

"You are too similar." Michelle added, "I almost couldn't tell the difference."

At this moment Besse wasn't sure how best to respond or what words should follow next, especially when seeing Michelle looking uncomfortable with some hidden pain, which caused discomfort in Besse's chest too.

"Are you Oscar's girlfriend?" Michelle asked bluntly.

Susan was drinking at the side but nearly choked on hearing Michelle's question; covering her mouth with both hands while Manuel put down his utensils gently patting her back. He felt like his heart disease might act up if Susan coughed any more than necessary.

"Be careful! The doctor says coughing is dangerous." Manuel reprimanded with great concern.

Finally calming herself down, Susan retorted towards Michelle saying, "He's a loser."
