Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 968

Chapter 968 Oscar’s Impulsion

Oscar watched Besse as she spoke, taking in her every expression. She was always clever, able to easily catch the loopholes in others' words and use them to achieve her own goals. He nodded when she suggested he spend more time with his family.

"Well then, I wish you all a pleasant time in Northfield," Oscar said as he picked up his glass. The message was clear, which was that he wouldn't be bothering them anymore.

Doyle was surprised that Oscar had agreed so easily. He had expected him to be more difficult. But since Oscar had promised, regardless of the reason behind it, Doyle was content with the outcome.

Then the three of them clinked glasses.

As Besse excused herself to go to the bathroom and Doyle offered to accompany her.

"No thanks, I think you should spend more time with Mr Commander." Besse refused.

"Go back early." Said Doyle.

"Okay." Said she, smiling.

Oscar couldn't help but notice how close Doyle and Besse were; they were very much in love.

"Your relationship with Besse is quite strong," Oscar commented casually.

"Of course it is, we grew up together," Doyle replied proudly.

"Oh really?" Oscar feigned interest before adding dryly.

"We'll get married within half a year."

"Congratulations on your upcoming wedding."

"We'll send you an invitation when the time comes."

"Okay." Oscar nodded.

"I'll go to find Besse. She's not familiar with this place, I'm afraid she'll get lost." With that said, Doyle stood up and walked away.

Oscar sat alone at the table, staring at their empty seats across from him. After a while, Besse came back to the table alone.

"Where's Doyle?" she asked curiously after noticing his absence earlier.

"He might have gone to the restroom too." Oscar replied so instead of 'he had gone to find you.'

"He might have gone to find me." Besse trailed off thoughtfully, as she thought that was Doyle's excuse.

"Excuse me, I'll go take a look," Besse said, getting up.

Oscar suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Commander?" The tone was respectful but not friendly.

"My name is Oscar," Oscar said.

"I should call you Commander."

Intentionally distancing themselves from each other, Besse replied with the honorific title, "Please let go of me, Mr Commander."

Oscar's fingers twitched. The warmth in his palm made him hesitate to let go. But eventually, he did.

As soon as she was released, Besse turned and walked away from him with obvious disgust.

"Besse," Oscar called out to her, "Doyle just missed you earlier, if you go looking for him now you might miss each other again. The best way to meet up is to stay put."

Besse hesitated for a moment before realizing that what Oscar said made sense.

"I'm sorry for being impulsive earlier and causing offence." Apologized Oscar.

She gave an insincere smile as she returned to her seat and replied, "Thanks for reminding me."

But despite the casual response from Besse, something stirred inside of Oscar at the sight of her smile. He suppressed all his emotions and asked, "Did you use the mosquito repellent I gave you?"

Besse frowned slightly in confusion before realizing that there were several red spots on her arms where mosquitoes had bitten her earlier. The spots weren't very noticeable due to the dim lighting at the restaurant, yet somehow it caught his attention more than once.
