Lillian's face turned livid as soon as Hannah finished,
Was she going to sleep with Oscar tonight?
Even though she knew Oscar spent time frequently with Hannah these days, and, of course, they wouldn't be likely to have sex yet, it still felt quite a lot different when Hannah told her about that face to face.
Hannah was provoking her.
"Can I?" but Hannah didn't seem to notice what was on her mind. She then turned to ask Oscar for consent.
Oscar nodded, "Okay, I'll be with you."
"No, it's still early. Just spend a few more hours here before you return. I will ask Theodore to give me a ride." Hannah then added, "According to Mrs Wells, you have been tending the baby, right? I bet the baby would like you to stay as well. Just be back later. I will be waiting at your place."
Lillian couldn't help clenching her teeth.
Hannah was trying to exasperate her.
Oscar agreed.
"I walk you to the gate."
"Okay." Hannah held his hand with their fingers interlocked with each other.
The two of them walked past Lillian right in front of her.
As soon as they walked away from her sight, Lillian simply let out her fury.
She couldn't believe how dare that bitch talk to her like that.
"Mrs Wells." Max entered the room.
While amid rage, she cast a vicious glance over, which greatly startled Max.
But the next second, Lillian returned to normal.
She was too exasperated to cover up her hatred a few seconds ago.
Then she put on an amicable smile as if nothing had happened, "Max?"
Max felt like being frozen out of surprise. He couldn't help wondering if it was a simple illusion.
Then he hurried to explain, "The doctor suggests that you shall return to a common diet with light food. Madam, is there any special request for dinner?"
"I am fine with whatever you prepare. They all taste good."
"Okay, I'll be preparing right now."
"Thank you." Replied Lillian decently.
Max bowed respectfully and then walked away.
Soon, Lillian's face turned livid once again with hatred brewing from the inside.
She got to admit that her disguise was almost ripped off by Hannah's provocation.
Outside the suite, Hannah talked to Oscar, "Alright, I will be waiting for you."
"Okay."
"See you later."
Oscar nodded.
She let go of his hand and tiptoed to kiss him on his face, for which he felt like his heart got greatly softened.
"You must be exhausted these days."
He felt like getting choked.
"To me, Cian's daughter shares no difference with my son. I appreciate what you've done to take care of the baby."
He nodded, seemingly a bit sentimental.
Then Hannah turned around to leave with Theodore.
Meanwhile, Theodore was rendered quite surprised by her intimate move with Oscar.
Even though he was aware that Hannah had been reasonable, never did he expect her to be so generous. She should have been the lady staying by Oscar while turning into the focus of the country that deserved the greatest respect from the nation. However, after all, these had happened, she was deprived of that title and ended up being a mistress who had to live under the shadow. Commonly speaking, she should have been brewing grievance, Theodore supposed.
Sitting next to her inside the car, he couldn't help commenting, "No wonder Oscar has been so obsessive with you. You are greater than I have ever expected."
Hannah replied with a smile.
She never wanted to be a great lady.
And she bet he would resent her in the future for what she planned to do.
He strode over to hug her into his arms. Then he took over the pan-turner, "Just leave it to me."
Hannah turned to look at him, seemingly frustrated, "Every time I tryna cook, I always fail…"
"That's why I am here." Said Oscar in a husky voice.
Upon hearing that, she was a bit moved.
But soon, she got frustrated once again as soon as she recalled the sad story.
Then she stood behind him.
Soon, Oscar finished those dishes adeptly. Then they started dining.
The atmosphere felt so warm at this moment.
"I have never expected you to stay overnight today. What a great surprise for me." Said Oscar.
"You don't want to?" asked Hannah.
"That's what I dream of."
Hannah smiled, "I can tell how restrained you appear when facing my mom. That's why I am here."
Oscar seemed a bit hesitant.
He could tell what she meant.
"You gotta finish that. It's specifically prepared by Theodore." Hannah got him some soup while wearing a meaningful smile.
"What?" Oscar looked a bit confused.
"It's gonna turn you on."
Upon hearing that, he turned startled.
'Theodore, you asshole!' he cursed in his mind.
At the same time, Theodore was having fun with some ladies.
He somehow felt like somebody was speaking ill of him.
