After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 1122 With Her Son

Hannah was lying in bed with little Salem, who couldn't hold back his sleepiness any longer and finally dozed off. Hannah found it somewhat amusing but also hurt a little. She owed this child so much. She kissed Salem on his forehead.

"Mom..."

Hannah was somewhat taken aback. She thought she woke up Salem accidentally. As she was about to put him to bed, she found he had been keeping his eyes closed and murmuring in his mouth, "Mom, don't leave me..."

Salem was talking in his sleep.

"Sal, Mom will never leave you again," Hannah promised in Salem's ear.

He seemed to hear Hannah's words and finally fell into a deep sleep. Hannah had hardly slept all night, since she had slept for too long earlier. With Salem by her side, it seemed like she didn't want to sleep as well and just wanted to quietly watch him and accompany this child.

By the time dawn arrived, a slight feeling of drowsiness finally set in and she fell asleep in a hazy state.

When she woke up, Hannah felt some movement around her.

She frowned and forced herself to open her eyes, only to see Oscar's face up close. Hannah slapped Oscar's face hard and exclaimed angrily, "What are you doing?"

Oscar was slapped hard by her, leaving a solid mark. Instantly, his face turned red.

"Mom," Salem quickly called out to her, hugging her tightly. Hannah just remembered that she slept in the same bed as Salem. She felt so sorry to be so violent in front of the child.

"Mom, don't blame dad. He came to wake me up and saw that you didn't cover yourself well with the blanket. Dad was just helping you cover the blanket, not trying to harm you." Salem explained quickly. He was genuinely scared by what Hannah did.

Hannah snapped back to reality. So just now, she misunderstood Oscar.

"Let's go, Sal. We're going to be late for school." Oscar said calmly, without any sign of anger.

Salem obediently got off the bed and couldn't help but turn back to Hannah before leaving. "Mom, you don't have to go to school. You can sleep a little longer."

Hannah nodded and watched Oscar lead Salem away.

"Sal stayed up late last night, can he skip school today?" she couldn't help but ask and saw the boy's sleepy eyes.

"No." Oscar refused without hesitation. "Going to school is his task now, so he can't give up easily no matter what happens."

"He's only five years old."

"Habits are formed from a young age."

Hannah was a little angry because she thought that health was more important.

"Mom, don't argue with Dad. I volunteered to go to school," Salem said quickly when he saw that his mother was about to get angry. "I didn't sleep last night on my own accord, so it's my responsibility if I'm not fully awake today. I can't blame anyone else or avoid it."

Oscar had taught Salem to be too mature too early.

"Bye, Mom." Salem smiled slightly.

"Bye." Despite seeing Salem's smile, Hannah couldn't help but feel upset with Oscar.

After they left, Hannah felt lost in thought and couldn't fall back asleep. She tossed and turned before finally getting out of bed and leaving the room.

Oscar sat on the couch in the living room reading the newspaper while Theodore sat next to him-though Hannah wasn't sure when he arrived there as well. She heard Theodore make a joke at Oscar's expense, "What happened to your face?"

Oscar ignored him.

"Did you impose? Honestly, I support you! There's nothing that sex won't solve, if once isn't enough then twice or three times will do for sure! With your ability, you could do it five times over..." Then Theodore's words froze on his lips because he saw Hannah walking past them, making things awkward for everyone involved including himself.

Hannah acted like she hadn't heard anything and walked straight into the dining room for breakfast, while Theodore looked embarrassed by his own words upon seeing her reaction towards him. He asked Oscar, "Did I offend her just now?"

Oscar gave him a look that shut down any further discussion on the topic immediately, causing Theodore's lips to purse together tightly. He had felt inferior around Hannah since he owed her something deep down inside himself, which made him feel uneasy around her even more now.

"I just came here to see how your injury is doing. So you can't work lately, I gotta work. See ya."

"Mhm," Oscar responded.

Theodore left dejectedly.

After he left, Oscar stood up from the couch and walked towards the dining room, where Hannah was already calmly eating breakfast at this moment.

Oscar sat down next to her. Hannah paused for a moment but didn't say anything and continued eating. She couldn't demand that Oscar not eat his breakfast while staying under his roof. Once he sat down, the servant brought over Oscar's portion of food as well. Neither of them spoke as they silently ate their respective meals.

Because Oscar's right arm was injured, he had to use his left hand when using utensils, which made it difficult for him to eat properly. Hannah couldn't bear watching him struggle any longer and helped cut his bread into bite-sized pieces for him.

Oscar looked at her and she bluntly said, "You could just use your hands."

He had been trying to cut the bread with a knife and fork before Hannah reminded him that he could simply pick it up with his hands instead.

She implied that he wasn't very clever. However, despite being scolded by Hannah, Oscar suddenly smiled. It seemed like he was in a good mood.

Hannah noticed this smile on his face but didn't think too much of it-she only cared about showing some humanitarian concern towards someone who got hurt because of her.

She put down her utensils and said, "I'm finished now, take your time."

"Hannah," suddenly called out Oscar.

She frowned slightly since she didn't want too much involvement with him anymore.

"On the coffee table, there is a phone, I got you a new number so Doyle won't bother you again." Explained him.

Hannah's eyes flickered slightly as she realized that all he wanted to do was tell her that he bought a phone for her, not cling onto or harass her further.
