Posted on June 18, 2025 ยท 0 mins read
Listen to this chapter:

โ€œSo, are you going to leave in my clothes?โ€ Oscar asked with a wry smile.

It was only then Hannah realized she was wearing his clothes.

She gritted her teeth. โ€œWhere are my clothes?โ€

โ€œDumped.โ€

โ€œOscar Wells!โ€

โ€œItโ€™s all your vomit on them. Are you sure you still want them?โ€ Oscar raised his eyebrows.

She could only leave in his clothes or be naked. Someday, she would explode with anger.

Trying to remain composed, she said, โ€œIโ€™ll have someone send you a new set by tomorrow.โ€

Hannah decided to accept his clothes and compensate him later.

โ€œThat wonโ€™t be necessary,โ€ Oscar smiled. โ€œIโ€™ve prepared a set for you, Miss Cooper.โ€

Hannah was speechless. Why hadnโ€™t he said so?

โ€œItโ€™s in the cloakroom to the right of the room you slept in.โ€

Hannah quickly went upstairs. Oscar smiled, watching her go.

Inside the cloakroom, Hannah put on the clothes Oscar had prepared. He had an eye for beauty; she was surprised how well the underclothing fit. Last night, Oscar must have done something to her, but Hannah decided not to dwell on it. Should she even look back at him?

She went downstairs. Oscar was on the sofa, watching TV. Seeing her hurried approach, he asked faintly, โ€œDoes it fit?โ€

โ€œCanโ€™t you see?โ€ Despite her resolve to stay calm, it was impossible with Oscar.

โ€œI canโ€™t,โ€ Oscar said, then looked pointedly at her chest.

Hannah sharply pulled her coat tighter. She didnโ€™t want to deal with him anymore and ran out of the villa.

As she left, she saw an expensive black car and a man in a black suit and white gloves.

โ€œGood morning, Miss Cooper. I am Jimmy, Mr. Wellsโ€™ driver. Iโ€™ve been instructed to take you back,โ€ the man said respectfully.

Oscar always had a way to soothe her after infuriating her. Hannah smiled faintly and said, โ€œThank you.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re welcome, Miss Cooper. Please have a seat.โ€ He opened the back car door for her.

Hannah sat. Jimmy returned to the driverโ€™s seat and drove away.

As she left, Hannah glanced back at the villa. It was luxurious, and it seemed Oscar lived alone. Although Oscar had been her nemesis in her previous life, she knew his capabilities, not his personal life. She didnโ€™t know if he lived with the Wells family. She felt he was hiding something. Had she known everything about him in her previous life?

โ€œJimmy.โ€

โ€œYes, Miss Cooper.โ€

โ€œDoes Oscar have a bad relationship with his family?โ€ Hannah asked. Otherwise, why would he live alone?

โ€œIโ€™m only responsible for driving Mr. Wells, and I donโ€™t know much about his personal matters,โ€ Jimmy replied tactfully.

Hannah nodded, understanding she wouldnโ€™t get any answers. She looked out the window. Kensbury Cityโ€™s prosperity was evident. Ten years ago, it was already full of high-rises. Hannah watched silently, gazing at the city she missed.

Her phone rang. She answered, โ€œCharles.โ€

โ€œHannah, why did you turn off your phone?โ€ Charles sounded anxious.

Hannah sneered, remembering Charles hugging and making love with Jane last night.

โ€œI was drunk, and my phone died,โ€ she said.

โ€œThen where were you last night? I didnโ€™t see you when I left,โ€ Charles asked.

So, he was questioning her now?

โ€œI went to Susanโ€™s house.โ€

โ€œDidnโ€™t Susan leave later?โ€ Charles questioned.

He was astute, noticing details that benefited him. Fortunately, Hannah knew him well. โ€œI left later too. I went to the washroom and fell asleep. I woke up and only Susan and Henry were left, so I went to Susanโ€™s house. By the way, why didnโ€™t you call me when you left?โ€

After a pause, he explained, โ€œI was drunk and sent home in a daze. I just woke up and called you.โ€

โ€œIs that so?โ€

โ€œI worried about you so much.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m fine now, and Iโ€™m on my way home.โ€

โ€œWe canโ€™t drink like that again,โ€ Charles said seriously.

โ€œOkay,โ€ Hannah agreed readily. In the future, he wouldnโ€™t have the chance to drink with her again.

โ€œGo home and rest. I have to go to work.โ€

โ€œOkay.โ€ Hannah was about to hang up. She didnโ€™t want to deal with him anymore; he disgusted her.

โ€œHannah,โ€ Charles called, his voice filled with affection.

โ€œHuh?โ€ Hannah was impatient.

โ€œI love you,โ€ Charles said slowly.

Hannah smiledโ€”a beautiful, ironic smile. Heโ€™d said those words many times in her previous life. What had he thought each time? Probably that she was a fool who believed him.

She gathered her composure and replied, โ€œMe too.โ€

โ€œI want to marry you right away,โ€ Charles said sincerely. โ€œWhen Iโ€™m done with this, Iโ€™ll fully concentrate on our wedding. Hannah, I promise to make you the most gorgeous and happiest bride in Northfield! Iโ€™ll make all the women envious!โ€

Envious of her marrying the vilest man in the world? She wouldnโ€™t repeat that mistake.
