Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 484

Chapter 484 The Little Bitch's Coming

"Come on, let's go back home," Hannah gave up a further inquiry. She knew even if she did ask him, she would not get a response. Hannah had no idea whether she could figure him out or not and what astonishing secret he kept. For the moment, she didn't want to pursue the matter. As long as Oscar did not intend to kill her, and his intention did not harm her interests, she would overlook whatever he did-her bottom line got the lowest because of her affection for Oscar.
They left the sofa, and Hannah walked ahead of him. Oscar reached for her hand, but she pulled it away. Oscar smiled reluctantly and followed her out. Though she looked peaceful, he could feel her displeasure.
Sitting inside the car, Hannah asked Jimmy, "Was Mary OK?"
"She's fine. She suffered minor injuries from the fall but she has taken medicine, and the doctor said she would recover by tomorrow."
"Good." Hannah responded.
Seeing the couple in the back seat from the rear-view mirror, Jimmy believed they must have quarreled. He didn't go back to Hannah's office after sending Mary to the hospital for fear of disturbing them, and he couldn't understand why they suddenly didn't get along well. Jimmy set the matter aside and attended to driving, knowing that he would never know about affection.
The car soon arrived at the villa.
On their way home, Hannah and Oscar didn't have a word with each other, making Jimmy feel nervous. A few hours ago, he had just been embarrassed about the intimacy between Oscar and Hannah, and he missed it this time-better than their current cold war. On getting off the car, Oscar always opened the door for Hannah before; this time, Hannah opened the door herself, alighted from the vehicle, and walked into the villa. Oscar followed her.
Seeing them from the driver's seat, Jimmy somehow thought that if Hannah left Oscar one day, Oscar couldn't go on any longer. Jimmy withdrew his eyes and drove home.
No sooner had Hannah stepped into the hall than she saw Venus and Karen sitting on the sofa, with Max waiting on them. Seeing them back, Max came up and said, "Welcome home, Mr Wells and Mrs Wells!"
Oscar nodded to him slightly and turned his head to the two ladies on the sofa, and so did Hannah. Hannah liked indeed her mother-in-law, Venus, but not her sister-in-law, Karen. Hannah went up to them calmly and said with enthusiasm, "Venus, why didn't you ring me up before you and Karen came? I have so much work to do these days and would have arrived home after nine if Oscar hadn't come for me."
"No worries, your work counts. We have nothing important, so we didn't bother you, love." Said Venus gently. She let Hannah sit next to her and said to Oscar, "When did you come back? Why didn't you say a word to us?" her attitude changed immediately, standing in total contrast to that towards Hannah. Oscar sat aside on the sofa steadily, "I've just come back and went pick Hannah up to go off work. What got you here in such a hurry, mom?" he changed the subject curtly.
Not being a fussy woman, Venus followed his words, "Well, your father and I are going to take a journey for our marriage anniversary in a few days. I intended to leave Karen at home initially, but Nancy's mother suddenly got sick, and she will go to her parent's home to care for the patient and David together. Then there is only Thomas left. He is a workaholic, and I cannot trust him to care for Karen. So I have no choice but to send Karen here, which is her suggestion as well."
Hannah listened silently, catching a glimpse of Karen in the end. Hannah was unaware of what the little bitch was playing at, indeed up to no good.
"You got back just in time. I was afraid Karen's coming might bother Hannah. Now, since you are home, I can leave it up to you," said Venus, in a tone of taking it for granted.
Before Hannah and Oscar made any response, Karen said at once, "Hannah and Oscar, I am so sorry to bother you." She affected an effeminate girl people couldn't bear to refuse.
Hannah met Oscar's inquiring eyes. It was evident that he made her come forward to make the decision. He was sure that for fear of displeasing Venus, Hannah had no choice but to give a reluctant promise, which exactly met his wish. Asking for her advice was not so much his respect for her as to make her have nothing to say about Karen's coming. She had made a promise, after all. Hannah thought she was no match for Oscar. If he lived in the House of Cards, he would undoubtedly survive till the end.
Feeling the eyesight of Venus, Hannah smiled at once, "Come on, Venus, don't be so distant. We are families. Karen's coming is never a bother for us. We are happy to have her here."
"I'm so glad to hear that, love," said Venus with a warm smile-she was so satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She said, "Robert and I will take the journey for about half a month, and we will pick Karen up when we return. It is very kind of you to care for my little Karen in the next half month."
"Oh, don't say that, Venus. Karen is not a child. There is nothing specific I could do for her, but I won't feel alone having her accompany me. Oscar will go to River Town tomorrow or the day after, and Karen could accompany me home." Hannah looked delighted, but the implication was clear: she wouldn't care for Karen, who was already an adult; If Karen had any accident, she, herself, should be the one to blame.
On hearing her words, Venus said with a smile, "You are right. Karen is the same age as you, indeed. It is my fault to take her as a child still. I shouldn't have been excessively doting on her."
Hannah echoed her, as she thought it was likely to offend her-after all, Karen was the apple of her eye. She smiled without a word, assenting to what Venus had said.
"I will be home for a week," Oscar said directly. Hannah looked at him and was slightly astonished that he should stay for such a long time. She thought he was home to plan a pregnancy, which was somehow carried out the past couple of days.
Oscar said, "It will be half a month before I am returned formally, so I'm back in advance to deal with the transition during this week."
