Chapter 1178 Birthday (3) Taking Advantage of Whom

"Hannah," Oscar called out to her, moved by her appearance. He thought he would never see this face

again since the moment Hannah fell into the sea. But God must have favored him greatly to let him see

his soulmate again, alive and well in front of him. His eyes turned red with tears as he gazed at her.

Hannah shifted her gaze away from Oscar and pulled Susan along with her, leaving without

acknowledging Oscar's presence. Despite Hannah's cold demeanor towards him, Oscar was grateful

that she was still alive.

Susan whispered in Hannah's ear as they entered the hall, "Are you afraid I'll see your precious Oscar

cry? That's why you dragged me away."

She couldn't help but want to witness a strong man like Oscar break down in tears.

Hannah had no words for Susan's preferences. She released Susan and squatted down before Salem,

who looked upset that his godmother had taken his mother away from him.

"Mom!" Salem cried out loudly despite feeling unhappy.

"Do you recognize me?" Hannah smiled slightly at Salem because she thought he wouldn't remember

what she looked like since their last meeting when Salem was too young to remember anything clearly.

"I do," Salem nodded quickly. "You look exactly like our family photo."

Hannah felt surprised.

"I have pictures of you, mom. Dad told me what you looked like before."

She never expected that Oscar would do that.

"Aren't you scared? Even though Mom looks different now?" Hannah asked gently.

"I'm not scared." The little boy said confidently while touching Hannah's face with small hands. "I love

Mom no matter what."

This warmed up Hannah's heart immensely. Even Susan couldn't help but commented, "If you dad had

your little mouth, he wouldn't have been single until now."

Hannah glared at Susan, who pouted her mouth.

"It's getting late, let's get started." Laird called out to everyone. "Come on over and sit down."

Hannah held Salem's hand, while Una offered hers for Hannah to hold. After a moment of hesitation,

Hannah took Una's hand. The one she hated was Lillian but not this little girl. Besides, she was grateful

towards Cian. When she saw Una as Cian's child, she didn't feel any rejection.

Everyone sat around the outdoor table in the courtyard. Laird raised his glass and said, "Thank you all

for coming to celebrate my birthday. I never thought much about getting older but Theodore insisted

that we should gather together every year to celebrate it."

The atmosphere was good with plenty of drinking going around, while the children ate quickly before

running off to play together.

Salem, Una and Nicholas were about the same age, so they quickly became friends while Susan's

child was still too young to join in on their games. Susan's child had always been held by Manuel all the

time until she felt asleep and was was placed in a crib in the living room with Edward staying by her

side.

Laird had drunk quite a bit so he excused himself from sitting at the table, and Hannah's parents also

left soon after leaving the young alone.

Hannah actually wanted to leave early but Susan wouldn't let her go.

"You can't drink anyway." Hannah said to her.

Susan couldn't drink due being still breastfeeding her baby.

"I don't need alcohol. I can watch you guys drink instead. Come on everyone, let's do rounds! Starting

from the oldest person here!"

"Who is our oldest?" Theodore asked foolishly before suddenly remembering Oscar who was half a

year older than him. "Oscar is our eldest! He is half a year older than me!"

"Alright then," Oscar said without hesitation as he picked up his glass of wine. He started from

Theodore then Little Bunny followed by Manuel then Susan and finally ended up at Hannah.

Oscar poured himself full cup of wine while Hannah only had less than half left in hers. When she

reached for bottle, intending refill it, Oscar grabbed hold of her hand stopping her abruptly.

And with such ambiguous actions, everyone else stared wide-eyed and smiled meaningfully. Hannah

could feel the eyes of those around her on her. She was a bit speechless and said, "I don't want to take

advantage of you."

"I'm willing." Oscar's magnetic voice was very pleasant to listen to. Even Susan felt goosebumps all

over her body from their conversation. It sounded like they were flirting with each other.

She decided to take back what she had just said about Oscar not being as good as Salem in terms of

talking, because it seemed that Oscar was actually a master at flirting.

Hannah blushed when she heard Oscar's words in front of so many people. She said, "Let go."

Oscar saw that Hannah was getting angry so he let go of her hand. But he felt like something precious

had slipped away from his grasp.

Hannah filled up her glass again while everyone else went around the circle drinking their shots one by

one, until it came time for Hannah's turn again.

She had already drunk quite a bit and couldn't handle much more alcohol, but since everyone else had

gone around the circle, she couldn't refuse either.

"I'll help you," Oscar offered kindly.

"No, thanks." Hannah didn't even look at him when she spoke before filling up another shot glass for

herself and downing it quickly before moving onto the next person in line.

When it came time for Oscar's turn again, he said to her, "You shouldn't drink too much."

"I can't drink anymore." Oscar added, intending to stop her.

"Pace yourself." Said Hannah. She didn't want to the one who was skipped.

Oscar poured himself half a glass of wine and raised his glass.

"Thank you for letting me take advantage of you." Said he.

Then he downed his own half-shot quickly. Hannah who just stared at him silently. Susan laughed

hysterically beside them, realizing how good Oscar was at flirting with women.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
