Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth

Chapter 952

Chapter 952 A Lovely Pair

Looking at Salem's familiar face, Susan squatted down to hug him. Only Salem could slightly comfort

her inner grief over Hannah's departure.

Thank goodness. Hannah left behind Salem. She even wondered if Hannah chose to die with Lillian

because she had Salem. She was so smart, she must have known that as long as Salem was there, no

one would have any suicidal thoughts.

"Aunt Susan, you're pregnant and can't hold me." Salem quickly refused with a serious expression on

his little face.

Susan didn't feel anything about being pregnant now. The first time she was pregnant, she felt like

throwing up all the time, but this time there were no reactions at all. She thought it might be a false

pregnancy, but when she went on maternity leave, the doctor said the fetal heart rate was good.

"Uncle Manuel loves kids so much, don't disappoint him." Preached little grown-up Salem.

Susan secretly rolled her eyes at Manuel's love for children too. At least he couldn't get enough of

playing with Salem and Una Wells. Every time he saw those two kids his whole demeanor made a

refreshing change; Susan even envied the two little ones for it. She envied even more that Manuel

treated Una Wells so well too, despite her being an enemy's daughter, while she thought that he

couldn't forget Una's identity just because Oscar fathered both of them together.

Every time Susan complained angrily about it, Manuel would say that because how much he loved

spending time with Salem meant treating Una well too, and Salem asked for that.

And let's face it-Una Wells was quite likeable. Not only did she look pretty and charmingly delicate in

appearance, but also had a great personality. Every time Susan saw them together following after each

other calling out "auntie" or "uncle", hearing their sweet voices made everyone unable to resist smiling

along. Besides, Salem also took care of Una very well, afraid that if they didn't get along then only

would make things worse for that little boy instead.

In short, they gradually began treating Una equally naturally due to the family atmosphere. It wasn't just

Susan and Manuel, whose attitudes had changed from initially rejecting Una's presence to accepting

her. Hannah's parents now fully saw Una as part of their family circle too.

Susan pursed her lips, thinking maybe she was getting ahead of herself. Right now she was unhappy

with Manuel pretending to love children so much. When they first got together, Manuel had promised

her that they would have a baby in six months. But after Hannah's death, Susan was too depressed to Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

think about planning for a baby. It wasn't until a year later that she began to feel like herself again and

suggested to Manuel that they start trying for a baby. However, every time she brought it up, he would

just give her lip service and never follow through with any plans. And so it went on for year after year.

By the fourth year, Susan couldn't take it anymore. She took Manuel's condoms from the bedside table

and poked holes in them with needles until finally, she got pregnant. Manuel was dumbfounded when

he found out since he had been so careful. Susan explained what she had done and felt like she had

finally gotten revenge for all those years of being denied the chance to have a child. But being pregnant

was not at all what Susan expected. Manuel seemed like an entirely different person now that he would

be a father. She didn't know how many faces this man had-he turned into an overbearing father-to-be

overnight, demanding that Susan read books every day and insisting on strict meal times with no spicy

or strongly flavoured foods allowed, and even forcing her to drink nutrient soup which she hated. He

also made her speak softly so as not to wake the baby while still in utero and walk slowly because he

claimed the bouncing might give their unborn child brain damage.

Was he getting back at her?

"What's wrong Auntie?" Salem asked worriedly when he saw how angry Susan looked.

"Nothing." Said Susan, trying hard not to let herself get too upset about it all. after all, she chose this

husband herself.

She took Salem by the hand as Una Wells held onto Salem tightly from behind; sometimes Salem's

kindness towards Una made her jealous.

"Auntie is taking you guys out for some fancy food." Said Susan, smiling brightly despite everything

else going on inside of her head.

"Yay!" The two children replied happily in unison with their cute voices, making everything seem better

somehow.

Susan felt like such a winner holding hands with both Salem and Una; nothing could bring down this

moment. Looking around, she basked in the envy of those around her. She was enjoying this feeling.

The three of them stepped into the elevator and rode up to the floor of an upscale restaurant.

The waiter respectfully led them to a beautifully decorated private room with a stunning view

overlooking The Capital through its floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Sal, is that where Dad works?" asked Una.

Susan began taking their order while both kids curiously looked out at everything outside.

In truth, what child didn't want to go out and play? It was just that no one took them out.

"No, it should be over there," Salem pointed in another direction. Una excitedly looked over there and

asked, "Sal, can we see Dad from here?"

"It's too far away for us to see." Replied he.

"I really miss Dad. Do you miss him?" asked Una.

"Mhm."

"Dad is always so busy and never takes us out," Una said with some discomfort in her voice.

"Dad isn't just busy; he is special, so he can't appear casually outside. And for our privacy protection,

he can't take us outside either."

"What's privacy?" Una was much more innocent than Salem and didn't understand what it meant.

Salem patiently explained to her, "It means something that other people can't see."

"Are we not good enough? Why can't other people see us?" Una still didn't understand why they had to

hide away like this; she felt wronged by it all when she spoke about it aloud.

Susan listened intently as she took their order. Even she couldn't help but feel moved by their

conversation. Everyone thought Oscar's children were exceptional since birth, but who knew how much

freedom they had growing up under such high leadership?

After finishing taking down their orders, Susan walked towards them.

"It's not because you're bad or anything like that," she told Una gently, "it's because you're too good!

Your dad worries someone might try to take you away from him if others saw how amazing you are."

Una blinked at Susan.

"Your dad loves you very much!"
