Chapter 993 Besse's Favorable Impression of Oscar

When Una walked out of her room, Oscar was casually reading the newspaper. He seemed

nonchalant. While Una spoke, Oscar happened to be sipping tea made by the servant. So when he

heard what she did, it caused him to spit out the tea.

Salem and Una both turned to look at him with a little bit of disdain. Oscar quickly wiped his mouth and

the servant hurried over to clean up.

"Sorry," Oscar's face turned red from embarrassment. He probably didn't expect himself to suddenly

make such a fool of himself.

Besse saw how embarrassed Oscar looked and suddenly felt like laughing. It seemed fitting for his C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

image-he usually wore suits and was very serious, but that didn't seem like his true self.

Oscar regained composure and explained, "Una saw me looking at your photos while I was just looking

at some designs, not what she said..."

The more he explained, the worse it sounded.

He suddenly stood up straight and picked up Una in one swoop, "Daddy will take you for a walk in the

backyard."

He feared Una's childlike words without reservation. But Una expressed unhappiness; she wanted to

play with Besse instead.

Oscar left holding onto Una so only Besse and Salem were left in the hall now. Salem yawned sleepily;

he seemed quite tired already.

"If you're tired then go back to bed, Salem." Besse's tenderness towards him even surprised her. She

instinctively wanted to be good towards this child.

"But Dad said..." The words were on Salem's lips before being swallowed back down again.

"What did he say?" Besse raised an eyebrow, wondering what kind of nonsense had been fed into this

child by Oscar.

"Nothing." Salem shook his head.

"Well, then I'll go ask your dad."

"Miss Besse!" Salem called out quickly stopping her from going further, "Don't tell my dad, please! I

don't want him unhappy."

"Okay." Besse smiled.

"Dad says that you won't be around too much so let me spend more time with you while you're here

because once you leave we won't see you again." Salem honestly confessed everything that had been

told by Oscar earlier on

Besse's heart stirred slightly as she couldn't help but look outside through floor-to-ceiling windows. She

was watching Oscar leading little Una walking around in the garden.

"Miss Besse, please don't look down on my dad." Salem couldn't help but speak his mind. "For many

years, except for Auntie Susan, he hasn't had any contact with any other ladies. Una and I have been

arguing about wanting a mom, but Dad refused until you appeared. He finally agreed to find us a mom

but then said she got lost and wouldn't come back." Salem's words were a bit messy.

As a 5-year-old child, his logical expression ability wasn't that strong.

"Although Dad is old and sometimes doesn't take baths, please don't look down on him. He's a great

person. He's the most dedicated Commander in Northfield history and has made many sacrifices for

the country." Salem told Besse seriously as if he wanted her approval.

Besse nodded. She knew this because of Oscar's sudden approach. She also paid attention to some of

his news and knew how highly regarded he was by the outside world.

"Don't you blame your dad for spending so much time working instead of spending time with you and

your sister?" Besse asked.

"I don't blame him. When I grow up, I want to be as great as my dad, serving the country and becoming

someone everyone admires." Salem smiled proudly at this thought.

Besse couldn't help but pat Salem's head. She always felt that Oscar didn't fulfil his fatherly

responsibilities properly until now when she suddenly had doubts about what exactly fatherly

responsibility was. Was it more important to just stay by children's side than setting correct values for

their children so they could see their glorious side?

Undoubtedly, Salem was one of the best kids she had ever met. He was self-disciplined, polite, faithful

and grateful.

"Alright then, I know now not to look down on your dad anymore." Besse smiled gently at him

"Thank you!" Salem beamed happily

"It's time for bed now though." Besse urged, "If you don't sleep well, you won't grow tall."

"But Miss Besse..."

"Don't worry, I won't leave today. After you wake up later from sleeping, I will still be here."

"Mm-hmm." Salem nodded sleepily; then he got up from the sofa and went into his room.

After Salem left, there was only Besse alone in the living room. She couldn't help taking another glance

around since it was her first proper visit here.

The decorations here were simple but not plain, with a stylish and grand atmosphere. Oscar's taste

was not bad.

She stretched lazily, feeling a little tired herself.

She glanced at the two figures in the garden outside and then got up to return to the room that Oscar

had prepared for her. As she lay on the bed, she couldn't help but feel like taking a shower. But her

luggage had been sent ahead of time by air freight, so when she left the airport, she didn't bring any

luggage with her. It wasn't possible to order clothes online either since they would be delivered to

Commander's house and it would most likely be women's clothing... She didn't even dare think about

what kind of impact that would have.

"Oh well. Just make do for one night." Besse thought to herself.

She walked into the bathroom, intending to freshen up quickly when suddenly there was knocking at

the door outside.

Besse opened the door and saw Oscar standing there, holding two sets of clothes in his hands. He

said, "I thought you might need these."

She did need them. But wearing someone else's clothes was a bit weird for her. She knew that Oscar

had been married before but his wife had passed away unexpectedly. So having women's clothing

around wasn't unusual for him. However, she still felt some resistance towards it.

After thinking about it for a bit though, she realized that maybe she couldn't refuse Oscar's kindness

after all and said "Thank you."

"They're new." Added Oscar as he handed them over to her.

Besse felt embarrassed now. Was it obvious how uncomfortable she was just now? But then again, she

knew how well-controlled her emotions were.

"Rest well." Said Oscar as he turned around and left without getting too close to her at all.

When Besse agreed to stay here temporarily earlier on, many things were going through her mind,

including regretting ever coming here in the first place.

She understood very clearly what kind of special feelings Oscar held towards her, so much so that

sometimes it made her feel like being thrown into a dangerous abyss.

But in reality, it seemed like she might have overthought things too much this time around-if Oscar

wanted something from her badly enough, he shouldn't have brought her home, where his children

could see them. He did show respect to her.

Besse let out a sigh as if finally realizing something important deep down inside herself. And somehow,

she gradually had a favourable impression of this man, while she started off feeling repulsed by him.
