Chapter 923 Preparing To Go Abroad
Chapter 923 Preparing to Go Abroad
Hannah didn''t know how to tell her parents that they should leave Northfield. She knew they would
ept it but still felt guilty deep down inside. After all, it was where they had lived for most of their lives,
and leaving in their old age would be hard for them.
Hannah seemed absent-minded and Michelle noticed it.
"What''s wrong Hannah?" Michelle asked her daughter, "Is it because you had a disagreement with
Oscar yesterday?"
Oscar finally came back after such a long time away from home but just left without staying overnight.
In Michelle''s mind, there must have been some conflict between them. Despite how much she disliked
him, as long as he made Hannah happy she would ept his presence in their lives too.
Hannah pursed her lips and finally gathered the courage to say what needed saying, "Mom, Oscar and
I arepletely over."
Michelle froze for a moment, and she was obviously surprised by what Hannah said next, "He seems to
have fallen for Lillian."
Michelle''s face changed immediately upon hearing those words.
"What kind of karma did we umte? To meet someone like him!"
"But isn''t this what you''ve always wanted?" Hannah joked lightly before adding teasingly, "Why are you
angry now?!"
"I wanted it. I was hoping Oscar wouldn''te back to bother you, but being abandoned by him still
makes me feel worthless!" Michelle couldn''t ept it.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
"As long as we get the result we want, the process... will be a thing of the past." Hannah said
calmly.
Michelle really cared about her daughter too much. No matter what happened, she would never let
anyone worry about her. Michelle sighed heavily and asked, "He doesn''t want Sal either?"
"Hmm." Hannah nodded.
Oscar made it clearst night that Salem could change his name and identity. This was enough to
show his attitude towards Salem. Of course, she was actually grateful that Oscar didn''t fight for Salem
with her. However, deep down in her heart, she still felt sorry for Salem. He had been abandoned by his
father even before he knew who his father was.
"There''s one more thing." Hannah''s tone became serious.
"What is it?" Michelle was so afraid of Oscar now. This man had too much power and could do
whatever he wanted. She feared that he might hurt Hannah in some way.
"Oscar wants us to leave Northfield."
"Why?!" Michelle got furious when she heard this news, "Even if he is a nationalmander-in-chief,
he can''t be so overbearing! Why does he want us out?"
Hannah knew this would hurt her parents deeply if they were forced to leave Northfield like this. She
said softly, "It should be because of Lillian."
Michelle felt indignant, "Doesn''t Oscar have any feelings left for old times'' sake?! Even if not for old
times'' sake, doesn''t give birth to Salem count? Why does he have to go so far as to drive us away
"I can understand this a little bit though. I know women care about their spouse''s exes'' existence at
some level." Hannahforted Michelle, "At least Oscar only wants us gone; he isn''t trying to kill us."
"If he ever did something like that, it would be insane. I won''t let him go even if I die!" Michelle said
fiercely.
Hannah smiled, "Do you want me or you tell Dad and grandma?"
Michelle clearly felt that her daughter didn''t want to talk anymore. She sighed heavily again, "Forget it,
I''ll tell them myself."
She thought that although Hannah seemed calm on the surface, she must also be suppressing many
emotions inside herself.
"Thank you, Mom." Hannah smiled slightly.
Seeing her smile, Michelle felt even more heartbroken, and she said to Hannah, "We''ll really forget
about Oscar from now on. We''ll start over as a family abroad, truly starting anew."
"I was thinking the same thing." Hannah nodded with a still-beautiful smile.
"When are we leaving?" Michelle asked.
"In a week, probably next Wednesday," Hannah replied.
"So soon?" Michelle was still agitated.
"Yeah."
Michelle was really angry but ultimately kept it in check because she didn''t want to burden Hannah
mentally. She knew Hannah too well; she always carried everything herself and never let others worry
about her. She couldn''t let Hannah be too upset either.
"Then I''ll go tell your dad and grandma and prepare for our departure while I''m at it," Michelle said.
"Okay."
Michelle left the room.
Hannah watched her mother''s back disappear and felt suppressed difort after all. She had told
herself when she was reborn that she would make sure her family survived and lived better.
But what happened?
They were still suffering with her.
Hannah leaned against the sofa lost in thought for a while before picking up her phone to make a call.
Manuel answered, "Hannah?"
"Are you at work?"
"Yes," Manuel said.
"How did Susan dost night?"
"What else could happen? She got so mad that she pouted all night long." Manuel talked about Susan
with his mouth unconsciously curving upwards. He probably hadn''t even noticed how gentle his voice
became.
Hannah smiled. With Manuel taking care of Susan like this, she could rest assured that everything
would be fine.
"She scolded my cousin all night long until talking in sleep." Manuel continued speaking of Susan''s
antics fromst night.
Susan sometimes made himugh or cry without knowing why.
"Oh really?" Even Hannah couldn''t help butugh imagining what Susan must have looked likest
night.
"She doesn''t know much between you and my cousin." Manuel exined, "There are many things I
haven''t told her because they''re just tooplicated for anyone to understand."
It wasn''t that Susan couldn''t understand; it was just that he didn''t want things to get any more
Living life as carefree and innocent as Susan was the dream of many. Meeting Manuel, who loved and
protected her so fiercely, was truly the luckiest thing that had ever happened to her. At least, Susan
didn''t repeat the same mistakes from her past life.
That was a constion in itself.
"Manuel," Hannah''s voice grew slightly heavy.
Manuel immediately sensed something amiss and his expression turned serious.
"I ended things with Oscar for good," Hannah stated inly.
Manuel looked surprised and asked, "Did he really agree to it?"
He thought she would be the one initiating the breakup.
Hannah exined, "It was his decision."
"What?" Manuel couldn''t believe it.
"I''m surprised too but for me, it''s a relief." Hannah said calmly, "I don''t have to live under his shadow
anymore and he doesn''t have to juggle between two women and two families. It''s better for both of us."
