Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178 Birthday (3) Taking Advantage of Whom

"Hannah," Oscar called out to her, moved by her appearance. He thought he would never see this face again since the moment Hannah fell into the sea. But God must have favored him greatly to let him see his soulmate again, alive and well in front of him. His eyes turned red with tears as he gazed at her.

Hannah shifted her gaze away from Oscar and pulled Susan along with her, leaving without acknowledging Oscar's presence. Despite Hannah's cold demeanor towards him, Oscar was grateful that she was still alive.

Susan whispered in Hannah's ear as they entered the hall, "Are you afraid I'll see your precious Oscar cry? That's why you dragged me away."

She couldn't help but want to witness a strong man like Oscar break down in tears.

Hannah had no words for Susan's preferences. She released Susan and squatted down before Salem, who looked upset that his godmother had taken his mother away from him.

"Mom!" Salem cried out loudly despite feeling unhappy.

"Do you recognize me?" Hannah smiled slightly at Salem because she thought he wouldn't remember what she looked like since their last meeting when Salem was too young to remember anything clearly.

"I do," Salem nodded quickly. "You look exactly like our family photo."

Hannah felt surprised.

"I have pictures of you, mom. Dad told me what you looked like before."

She never expected that Oscar would do that.

"Aren't you scared? Even though Mom looks different now?" Hannah asked gently.

"I'm not scared." The little boy said confidently while touching Hannah's face with small hands. "I love Mom no matter what."

This warmed up Hannah's heart immensely. Even Susan couldn't help but commented, "If you dad had your little mouth, he wouldn't have been single until now."

Hannah glared at Susan, who pouted her mouth.

"It's getting late, let's get started." Laird called out to everyone. "Come on over and sit down."

Hannah held Salem's hand, while Una offered hers for Hannah to hold. After a moment of hesitation, Hannah took Una's hand. The one she hated was Lillian but not this little girl. Besides, she was grateful towards Cian. When she saw Una as Cian's child, she didn't feel any rejection.

Everyone sat around the outdoor table in the courtyard. Laird raised his glass and said, "Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday. I never thought much about getting older but Theodore insisted that we should gather together every year to celebrate it."

The atmosphere was good with plenty of drinking going around, while the children ate quickly before running off to play together.

Salem, Una and Nicholas were about the same age, so they quickly became friends while Susan's child was still too young to join in on their games. Susan's child had always been held by Manuel all the time until she felt asleep and was was placed in a crib in the living room with Edward staying by her side.

Laird had drunk quite a bit so he excused himself from sitting at the table, and Hannah's parents also left soon after leaving the young alone.
