Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427 Theodore's Party

Soon, Hannah and Oscar arrived at the nightclub.
They walked into a private box specifically reserved for Theodore. It was specially decorated with high-standard sound-proof material. Even the door was specifically reinforced.
She sat down on the couch with Oscar.
Theodore hadn't arrived yet. Perhaps it was Laird who had him grounded, they reckoned.
At the thought of that, Oscar dialled Theodore's number.
If it were because of his father, Oscar would need to make a call to convince him. After all, from Theodore's perspective, it was his last night of being single. The happier he used to enjoy his single life before, the longer he needed to mourn for it.
But then Theodore answered the phone, "You have arrived?"
"Yes, where are you?"
"I am on my way to pick up Manuel." Replied Theodore.
Frowning, Oscar took a look at Hannah. So did Hannah.
"What's wrong?" asked Theodore.
The three of them had been friends since they were kids. Of course, he gotta bring Manuel here.
"Nothing. I am waiting for you in the box."
"See you in five minutes."
Then Oscar hung up the phone.
Noticing his expression, Hannah asked, "Anyone else besides Theodore?"
"Yeah." Oscar nodded.
"Do I need to leave?" asked Hannah casually.
She knew Oscar had been a man with secrets since she got in touch with him. Of course, she wouldn't be annoyed about it. She would like to evade those secrets if Oscar required.
"No, it's fine. You know that man. And you are familiar with him."
"You mean Manuel?" Hannah soon got the answer.
Oscar nodded. Amazed by her brilliance, he couldn't help wondering why she had her brilliance hidden when staying with Charles back then.
"Manuel is your cousin, right?"
Oscar seemed a bit surprised.
"Manuel told me about it. You and Manuel are pretty close. He and I have a good relationship too. Basically, we grew up together. There also have been secrets between us that you know nothing about." Hannah smiled complacently.
Oscar also smiled to reply, "Manuel is not my concern."
Needless to say, Manuel had been cautious. Even though he told her about his relationship with Oscar, she still failed to figure out who Oscar was.
In less than five minutes, both Manuel and Theodore arrived.
Theodore literally swaggered into the box. He seemed so happy as if there wasn't any wedding expecting him tomorrow.
Meanwhile, both Hannah and Oscar noticed that Manuel managed to walk in with the help of a crutch. He didn't need a wheelchair. What was more, he completely walked in by himself. Though hobbling, he could walk himself steady.
"Have you recovered?" asked Hannah.
"My right leg has fully recovered. And the left one is on the way to recovery. I can feel it now. The doctor said it would recover in three to six months." Answered Manuel.
She seemed to remember that Manuel would recover his legs soon in her previous life. That was why she didn't stop the accident at that time, which Manuel took advantage of to marry Susan.
Firstly, at least Manuel could manage to marry Susan in this way. As for what would happen after that, she could still figure out to avoid bad things. Secondly, she knew Manuel's legs would recover. So that didn't worry her much.
"Hey, just take a seat." Theodore beckoned Manuel to sit down. Then he poured them a glass of liquor, "Guys, get yourselves drunk tonight!"
"No, I am currently planning for a baby. " Oscar refused.
Theodore looked sulky, "Come on, why don't you spend two more years enjoying your romantic time with Hannah? You don't even know how much I regret impregnating someone by accident."
"Trust me, you will enjoy being a father." Hannah cut in.
"Absolutely not."
Hannah smiled. She knew how domesticated Little Bunny would turn him to be.
"I know I am not good at it, but I can still drink with you." Said Manuel.
"I drink water. I will drink as much water as you gulp down the liquor."
Theodore cast a scornful glance at him, "You'd better stick to your words."
"Of course." Oscar nodded.
Theodore raised his glass of liquor; Oscar and Hannah raised their glasses of water; Manuel raised his glass of liquor. The four of them toasted to each other.
"Just go easy with it," Oscar whispered to Hannah.
Actually, she would like to share the liquor with Theodore.
Of course, it was a toast to wish him a happy marriage with Little Bunny, Hannah supposed. But now that Oscar insisted that she should have water only, Hannah just did as he wished.
Unlike the common atmosphere inside the nightclub, all lights were on with no music inside the box. It seemed more like a common place for friends to spend time with each other, she reckoned.
"Manuel, what about your relationship with Susan?" asked Theodore after taking a sip.
Manuel smiled, "I don't spend time with her tonight but to drink with you. I bet you can tell."
"Shit. I thought you are here for me."
"Honestly speaking, I think having a family is better for you." Said Manuel honestly.
"Better for you? I feel like dying!"
"The sooner you get married, the less possible for you to get AIDs."
"Hey, I have been careful about it." Theodore sulked.
"It's all about possibility."
"Are you cursing me?"
"Nah…" Manuel smiled.
Then they toasted to each other again.
Hannah simply watched them talking and toasting.
Before that, Manuel seemed quite reticent in her eyes. It never occurred to her that he talked back while drinking with Theodore. That was who he was. He forced himself to be different for the sake of Susan.
"Though I said Manuel is not my concern, it doesn't mean that I want to see you staring at him for so long." Oscar suddenly whispered to her.
Meanwhile, her sight was blocked by his hand.
Hannah pouted.
What a domineering but childish guy!
She turned to look at him.
"That's right. I think I am definitely handsome enough to capture all your attention."
"Could you stay humble?"
"I am too attractive to stay humble." Oscar smiled charmingly, for which Hannah found herself a bit intoxicated.
She simply fixed her eyes on him for seconds.
"Hey, stop the PDA! The party is for me tonight. Could you please take my feelings into consideration?" Theodore shouted.
