Chapter 1194 Oscar Gets Drunk

Manuel blushed at Susan's words. At the time of Susan's delivery, Manuel had promised to dance for

her. Later, they had been busy taking care of the baby, and Manuel thought that was all there was to it.

He didn't expect Susan to bring up their promise in front of his cousin and Hannah.

"I didn't say I wouldn't dance." Manuel stuttered.

"Then dance now!" Susan said with a serious expression.

"You want me to dance in front of them?" Manuel's eyes widened.

Susan thought for a moment before saying seriously, "Although Hannah is my best friend, I don't want

you showing her everything."

Hannah was speechless. She didn't want that either. The thought alone made her cringe.

"Let's go then," Susan suddenly stood up and pulled on Manuel, who looked at her incredulously.

Weren't they having lunch?

"You're going back on your word again?" Susan sounded angry.

Manuel had no choice but to follow her out as they left Oscar and Hannah behind at the table staring

after them as they walked away together under their watchful gaze. Hannah had seen through Susan's

trick this time, by which Susan wanted to leave room for her and Oscar to get along with each other.

Now, there were only the two of them at the dining. Although she was familiar enough with Oscar,

Hannah was still awkward.

They sat there silently until Oscar spoke up, "Susan is becoming smarter."

"Let's continue with our lunch then." Said Oscar with a smile.

Hannah just glared at him without responding while he continued casually, "Sal will be back this

afternoon."

He always used Salem as leverage against her somehow, even though she couldn't help but think

about that boy too.

"Want some wine?" asked he. Even though Oscar tried to dine leisurely with Hannah, she could still

feel his distress inside. Apart from Laird, Oscar might be the other one who was affected the most in

Theodore's matter. Laird wasn't in court today, and Manuel said Laird was just being discreet.

"Okay." Hannah didn't refuse Oscar, since they were the only ones left. She had also made up her mind

that she would meet Salem in the afternoon and have dinner with him at night before taking a flight

back to Kensbury City without lingering too long here. Once she figured this out, she didn't need to

reject Oscar so much anymore.

The two of them started drinking together. Hannah knew that she couldn't handle alcohol well, so she

didn't drink much. It was Oscar who drank more than he should have because he was not in a good

mood.

Hannah wanted to persuade him to drink less several times because he seemed depressed and chose

silence instead of talking about his feelings like anyone else would want to do sometimes.

Oscar needed an outlet for his emotions.

So Hannah stayed with him and drank for a long time until eventually, Oscar passed out on the table

while still holding onto his glass.

Hannah got up intending on calling Max over to help carry Oscar back into bed when suddenly

someone grabbed her hand tightly. She was somewhat taken aback.

"Hannah, stay," said Oscar with a magnetic voice, pleading with her not to leave him alone again.

"I want to ask Max to carry you to your bed."

"Stay, okay?" Oscar was still murmuring.

He held onto her fingers tightly as if afraid that if he let go now, they wouldn't be able to find each other

again.

Hannah sighed helplessly before calling out Max's name.

Max heard quickly came over and asked, "Ms Cooper?"

"He's drunk, please take care of him."

"How did he get drunk?" muttered Max under his breath while helping support Oscar. Though he was

supported by Max, Oscar was still gripping Hannah's hand. So she could only follow them to Oscar's

bedroom.

Max finally managed to put him down on the bed after removing his shoes and socks plus wiping off

sweat using hot towels. After that, he also prepared some honey water for Oscar, which was put on a

nightstand. Max said, "Ms Cooper, could you please take care of young master while I go tidy up the

room."

Hannah wanted to refuse. But every time she moved her hand, Oscar would pull her tighter. So she

reluctantly agreed.

Max happily left when he saw Hannah agree. As he left, he made sure to close the door behind them.

Hannah could tell from Max's expression that he misunderstood something. She sighed in frustration.

Every time she struggled against Oscar's grip, it felt like her hands were going to be permanently

damaged.

"Hannah," Oscar suddenly murmured her name.

Hannah looked at him and saw his face blush while he was struggling to open his eyes. He looked

completely out of it.

"I want some water," Oscar said again.

"Then let go of my hand so I can get you some," Hannah replied sternly.

"Well then I won't drink any," Oscar tightened his grip on Hannah's hand even more tightly than before.

Hannah was speechless at how difficult this man could be sometimes. Seeing how parched his lips

were becoming made Hannah soften a little bit and use her other hand to bring over the cup of honey

water from the bedside table for him.

Oscar shifted around until finally managing to sit up with great difficulty after hearing what Hannah had

said. He leaned against the headboard shakily with bleary eyes that couldn't seem to focus properly.

Hannah handed him the cup, which he took slowly before downing all its contents in one gulp. He was

indeed thirsty.

"Do you want more?" asked Hannah as she placed the empty glass back on top of the bedside table

next to them.

Oscar shook his head no but continued staring deeply into Hannah's eyes without saying anything else

for a while longer still.
