Hannah was lost for words. It was because she didn't know Oscar liked her. He was so good at disguising himself.
"Theodore, Manuel and I do not understand why Oscar didn't win you back from Charles. That guy was nothing compared to my brother in any aspect. It should be an easy thing for Oscar." Cian said angrily.
Hannah thought that if Oscar had chased her a few years earlier, although she was not sure whether she would have agreed with him, at least, Oscar would not have fooled around with so many women. The thought of him having so many relationships made her upset.
"He should not suffer from your relationship with Charles all these years. It was such a waste of time." Cian was complaining.
At first, Hannah did not want to say anything bad about Oscar because she was talking to his brother. But she couldn't help herself when she heard his words.
"A waste of time? He didn't lose a single thing, OK? He had so many girls with him during those years."
Cian looked at her with a strange expression on his face, which was almost making her uneasy.
Hannah wondered if she said something wrong.
"So he didn't tell you he never touched any woman except you?"
Feeling her heart leap, Hannah stared at him in disbelief.
"You heard me right. You're his only one." Cian repeated and shook his head, "He is good at bearing pain."
"…"
"They are always saying that Oscar is a playboy and dates so many girls. It's all fake news. In the beginning, he acted like that to avoid the surveillance, so they would be less suspicious of him and that it would be easier for him to do things." Cian explained, "It is true that, as he hoped, he could easily enter the City Hall and get to where he is now. Many people still hold prejudice against him, including Charles. He will never know how powerful his opponent is." He looked contemptuous.
Hannah pursed her lips.
Charles was indeed pathetic, she thought.
"Those 'women' are his cover story. Actually, the one who dates many women is Theodore."
She used to think that Oscar had slept with so many women that he was brilliant in bed.
It turned out that she was his only one. She suddenly felt in a good mood.
"Women are realistic," Cian said teasingly.
Hannah could not control her expression and she did not refute him.
Cian continued, "Actually, I didn't think Oscar was serious before. I thought you were just his white whale. Because Theodore had shown me a photo of you, he stole it from my brother. You look like a flower growing in a hothouse. For people like Oscar who live in cruel reality, there is always a tantalizing beauty deep inside their hearts, and you are the embodiment of that. It wasn't until one thing happened that I realized how much he loved you."
