After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 1010 Too Humble

Chapter 1010 Too Humble

Susan's blunt words made Oscar feel embarrassed, and Besse felt the same way. Just as she was

about to explain, Susan calmly said, "Besse has a fiancé who is handsome and talented. She doesn't

like Oscar."

Manuel pretended to cough on the side.

Susan looked at Manuel, displeased. "I didn't say anything wrong."

"It was my fault," Michelle quickly tried to ease the awkward atmosphere. "I haven't seen Oscar bring a

lady to dinner in so many years, I thought..."

"Michelle, do you support his second marriage? No, no-no, it's his third marriage." Susan interrupted.

Oscar pursed his lips.

Theodore gloated on the side with an expression of enjoying watching a good show.

Manuel had a headache and didn't know what shocking thing Susan would say next.

"I support it," Michelle said. "Many things back then... were not Oscar's fault. He has been living alone

for so many years and Salem and Una need a mother. If there is someone suitable, of course, I support

it."

"Michelle, you are too kind." Susan was moved by her words. "If I were you, I would never forgive him

for..."

"Susan," Manuel couldn't take it anymore and covered her mouth with his hand.

Manuel had told Michelle and Miguel about many things that happened back then when Oscar

overworked himself just to see Salem; they saw how sincere he was, which eventually led them to

accept him as part of their family again after all these years apart from each other.

Susan stared at Manuel wide-eyed.

Manuel quickly changed the subject, "Let's eat before our food gets cold. Come on!"

Everyone started eating in order not to make things more awkward than they already were.

During dinner, Theodore suddenly asked, "When will you go back to work?"

Oscar glanced at Theodore suspiciously, "Do you need something?"

"I want to go back to Kensbury City for a while," Theodore replied unexpectedly. "It's been so long

since I've seen my father or my son; I miss them."

It seemed like he finally had some conscience left in him after all this time.

"You can go," Oscar agreed without hesitation, "I'll be going back tomorrow."

"Really?" Theodore asked excitedly.

"Yes."

"In that case, after dinner, I'll head out right away"

"When are you leaving? Do you need me to send you off?" Theodore asked Miguel and Michelle.

"We plan to stay for two days and spend more time with Sal," Michelle replied.

"Oh, okay," Theodore quickly agreed, then turned to Little Bunny next to him. "What about you?"

"Hmm?" Little Bunny was quietly eating her food.

She wasn't very familiar with these people, and the awkwardness at the dinner table made her hesitant

to speak up. Being called out by Theodore like this also made her feel uneasy.

"I'm asking if you're going back. To see Nicholas?" Theodore repeated impatiently.

"I have two more sessions tomorrow, I need to go back and rehearse my lines..."

"Can't you rehearse your lines in Kensbury?" Theodore's tone was annoyed.

Little Bunny frowned. What was wrong with Theodore today?

"How long has it been since you've seen our son?" Theodore asked accusingly.

Little Bunny tried not to argue with him in front of everyone else. She went home at least once a week

but Theodore rarely went home.

But she nodded anyway, "Okay."

Theodore didn't say anything else after she agreed. He just felt inexplicably irritated that she had

refused him earlier.

"Theodore, how dare you blame her? When was the last time you saw your son?" Susan always stood

up for what was right.

"That's why I'm making changes now."

"Just because you're changing doesn't mean everyone else has to follow suit." Susan retorted. "Why is

your ego so big!"

"Susan, do we have some kind of grudge against each other or something? You can never seem happy

unless we argue every time we meet!"

"I am just the embodiment of justice."

Theodore sneered dismissively at her words.

Their bickering lightened up the mood during dinner.

After finishing their meal, they all left together.

Michelle and Miguel took Salem and Una ahead in their car while Besse watched them leave, feeling a

sense of loss.

"We'll be leaving too." Said Theodore as he gestured towards his car where Little Bunny followed

behind him. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Don't bully Little Bunny." Susan couldn't help reminding him again before they left.

Theodore ignored her comment as he walked away from them towards his car with Little Bunny trailing

behind him.

Susan watched their backs disappear into the distance before saying aloud, "I feel like Theodore is

going eat little bunny alive."

"Let's go guys. Get into our cars now." Manuel pulled Susan along as they headed towards their

vehicle while everyone else got settled inside it.

In the quiet car, Besse suddenly spoke up, "Doyle is going to the Capital later, so I won't be going back

with you."

Oscar's eyes flickered, and Susan and Manuel also looked at her.

"Thank you," Besse said to Oscar.

Oscar replied seemingly coldly, "When Doyle comes back, it wouldn't be convenient for you to stay

outside. There are many rooms in the courtyard where he can stay."

Susan was impressed by Oscar's generosity. He was accommodating Besse and even included her

lover in his offer.

"No thanks," Besse said.

"You have a court hearing in a few days; there's no need to cause any trouble," Oscar said indifferently.

Besse hesitated for a moment.

"I'll be very busy from now on. If there's anything you need help with, you can ask Manuel." Oscar said

plainly. It was obvious that he wasn't going to bother them anymore.

Besse looked at him and naturally understood what he meant.

"Take me to work first," Oscar instructed the driver. "Then take them back."

"Yes, Commander." The driver quickly responded respectfully.

Besse turned her head towards the outside of the car. Sometimes Oscar was too good to her that she

felt guilty about it all.

So at this moment, she couldn't refuse his arrangement but just silently agreed with him.

Oscar got off first while Susan finally couldn't hold herself back from saying, "Besse, if not for your

fiancé, I would want to set you up with Oscar. He's not such a bad guy after all…"

His kindness towards Besse made her feel like this man was too humble.

But Besse didn't answer as she did not want more discussion on this topic.

Susan didn't want to make things difficult for her either so she asked, "When will Doyle arrive in the

Capital?"

"In about an hour." Replied Besse

"Now is perfect timing then! Let's go pick him up together."

"I'll take a taxi myself, don't worry about it."

"I think we can go check out a handsome guy along the way."
