Chapter 918 Hannah, Leave Me
Chapter 918 Hannah, Leave Me
The atmosphere at the dinner table became extremely tense due to Susan''s outburst.
However, Susan waspletely unaware of it and pointed her finger at Oscar, saying, "Every day you
show off your love for your wife and daughter in front of so many people. Have you ever thought about
how Hannah and Salem feel? When you three live happily together, do you know what kind of life

Hannah and Salem live? When your precious daughter had her hundred-day celebration, the whole
country sent their blessings while Manuel travelled far to attend. But do you even know which day is
Salem''s hundredth day? I admit that even I have forgotten!"
The more she spoke, the more ufortable Susan felt.
She truly felt sorry for Hannah.
How could someone as proud as Hannah end up in such a situation where she had to rely on others?
She didn''t deserve this.
"Okay, Susan. It''s not as bad as you think." Said Hannah gently, "I''m doing fine."
"I hate it when you say that everything is fine." Replied Susan with red eyes, "Every time you say that
everything is fine, I feel like there''s blood dripping from your heart while all we see is a calm surface.
You care too much about others'' feelings and don''t realize how much pain it causes me."
Hannah was speechless. Susan had made her feel helpless once again. But deep down inside, she
was moved by Susan''s concern for her well-being.
Susan would always stand up for herself whenever she felt wronged no matter who or what stood in
her way-a true friend indeed.
"Oscar," Susan suddenly turned on him again with usations flying out of her mouth like bullets
aimed directly at him.
"How can you bear hurting such an amazing woman?" She continued questioning him relentlessly,
"When seeing Salem celebrate his first birthday alone without any guests around except us here
tonight-does it make sense to leave them behind without any guilt or remorse?"
"Susan!" warned Hanna sternly before continuing calmly, "Everything happening now has been my
choice, nothing rted to Oscar''s actions. Please stop talking."
"Why are you still defending him?! How much do you like him to let him bully you like this? He''s already
a married man! How long has it been since he came back to see you and Salem? I calcted it, it''s
been seven months. Even the hottest heart should have turned into ice by now! What are you using to
sustain your feelings for him?"
Hatred. That was the word in Hannah''s heart.
There were many things that Susan didn''t understand, but she was moved by everything that Susan
had done for her.
"Manuel," Hannah called out to Manuel, asking for his help.
Manuel nodded. He actually wanted to take her away with him earlier but was afraid of making the
situation more awkward. But now if he didn''t take her away, things would really get out of hand.
"You''re drunk. Let''s go back first." Manuel said as he pulled Susan along with him.
"Don''t touch me, Manuel! I''m not afraid of Oscar and neither should you be!" Susan acted like a rooster
ready to fight anyone who challenged her dominance.
"Be good and let''s go home." Manuel coaxed gently.
"You can''t seduce me!"
"... I''m not trying to seduce you."
Manuel was speechless. He had no choice but to squat down and carry Susan horizontally in his arms
when she refused to walk on her own.
Susan was startled at first but then quickly wrapped her arms around Manuel''s neck before realizing
what she was doing and started struggling again, "Let me go, Manuel! Let me go!"
But Manuel ignored all of her protests as he carried her away from the scene while their noisy voices
gradually faded into silence behind them.
Justine watched their backs disappear before turning around again towards Oscar, who hadn''t uttered
a single word throughout the whole ordeal.
Justine sighed before saying, "I''ll check on Susan. Sometimes she gets too worked up so don''t worry
about what happened just now."
"Thank you, Aunt Justine." Hannah smiled warmly at Justine before adding, "I might have spoken too
harshly earlier so pleasefort her for me."
"She has thick skin; she''ll forget about it tomorrow."
"Just leave it be then."
"Well, then I''ll be going now."
"I apologize for any inconvenience caused." Hannah stood up from where they were seated together.
Justine shook her head with a smile on her face because there were many things left unsaid between
them both that couldn''t be expressed in words alone. She couldn''t bring herself to advise Hannah and
Oscar to make things work now.
Although Susan had just shown no respect for Oscar, she actually made a lot of sense.
Since he had already chosen another family, he shouldn''t be selfish and make things difficult for
another woman.
Oscar should let go.
Justine left.
At the dinner table, only Hannah, Oscar, and Miguel remained.
Miguel naturally wouldn''t stay at the table any longer.
"I''ll go help your mom look after Sal."
"Thanks, Dad."
Miguel nodded and sighed heavily before leaving.
In front of therge dining table were only her and Oscar now. They ate a small but exquisite dinner
while surrounded by colourful lights shing around them. It was quite romantic in its own way.
"Don''t take Susan''s words to heart," Hannah said lightly to Oscar. "She tends to speak without thinking
when she''s had a few drinks."
Oscar looked at Hannah as she smiled faintly as if she had let everything go and was doing well
without him there with her anymore.
"Susan is right," Oscar spoke up in a low voice. "I am indeed very selfish."
Hannah''s heart skipped a beat as she wondered if he hadpromised alreadypromised into
forming his family with Lillian andpletely letting go of her.
"Hannah," Oscar said slowly one word at a time, "Leave me."
Hannah''s eyes flickered slightly as she swallowed hard in response-this was what it came down to after
all.
She asked calmly, "Do you have good feelings towards Lillian?"
Oscar didn''t answer it but his silence confirmed it all in Hannah''s eyes anyway. Between adults who
wanted everyone else not to lose face too much, many things could not be spoken out loud.
Hannah smiled slightly before answering, "I see."
There wasn''t anything else that could be done if they didn''t agree on something together. She couldn''t
force him into anything either way. She felt somewhat regretful about how everything turned out since
they both held back so much for so long. In the end, though it seemed like Lillian still got what she
wanted, while Hannah left her unfulfilled desires behind, she could let go of everything. After all,
Hannah had a past pursuit of forgetting this man entirely.
"Then go back early." Said Hannah.
There shouldn''t be any more contact between them since they made that decision.
