Chapter 990 A “Troublesome” Kid
The car arrived at Oscar''s castle. The castle was heavily guarded. Undoubtedly, this was the least
likely ce for Besse to be disturbed. It was for this reason that she agreed to stay with Oscar.
She realized that she might have been too bold, as Northfield Commander''s home was not a ce
where ordinary people could easily live in. But since she hade here, she decided to make the best
of it.
"Commander," Max greeted Oscar in the hall when they arrived. At that moment, he looked surprised
when he saw Besse.
"Max, please arrange a room for Miss Besse to stay for a few days," Oscar instructed him respectfully.
"Yes," With that said, Max left the hall.
"You can sit down and wait for a while," Oscar said to Besse as they walked towards the sofa. She
nodded and sat down while he took his seat at some distance from her on another sofa nearby.
Besse frowned slightly but didn''t say anything about it. Perhaps because of her previous rejection of
him, Oscar seemed very careful and deliberately kept his distance from her, which suited her just fine.
After sitting down on the sofa, Oscar turned on the TV and ced the remote control in front of Besse.
"You can choose the channel you like, I''ll go change my clothes."
"Thank you." She smiled politely.
Oscar then left with Salem by his side without showing any emotions or reactions whatsoever.
Besse saw them leave and she started reading the news on her phone. Those contents were going out
of control. But she found nothing about Oscar and her presence at the airport earlier. Indeed, Oscar
didn''t have an intention, and nor did the media dare to spin him.
Meanwhile, Oscar started calming down only when he went into his room. He had been nervous since
Besse agreed with his suggestion, afraid that she would regret it abruptly. Oscar even thought that was
the longest journey he had ever had in his whole life, from the hotel to the castle, during which he was
overwhelmed by worry, fear and torture, though she had never gone back on her words.
"Dad?" Salem felt surprised to see Oscar being numbed like this.
He remembered what his dad had been on the television-always calm and confident, no matter how big
an asion might be. He had never looked so lost as now.
Oscar snapped out of his thoughts and said to Salem, "Go take a shower."
"Right now?" Salem was a bit confused.
"We just went out and sweated a bit. We''re dirty." Oscar exined.
Salem sniffed his clothes. "I don''t smell anything."
"Just listen to me." Oscar insisted.
"Okay." Salem obediently nodded. "Then I''ll go back to my room and take a shower."
"I''ll go with you," Oscar added.
"Together?" Salem was surprised. He had always been bathed by Max since he was young, so it was
unexpected for Oscar to suggest they bathe together.
"Take off your clothes." Without giving Salem any chance to change his mind, Oscar walked straight
into the bathroom.
Salem felt both ttered and surprised but followed his dad into the bathroom anyway. They took a
quick bath together, but Salem didn''t know how his dad managed to wash him so fast; there seemed
like an urgency in their actions that he couldn''t quite put his finger on.
Afterwards, Oscar roughly dried off Salem''s hair before letting him change into clean home clothes
Salem returned to the living room, where Besse noticed him walking in her direction, she couldn''t help
butugh.
Salem''s hair looked like a dandelion flower. It waspletely different from how he usually looked-
neat, elegant, and refined-instead, having this messy look that only children could have when they
were ying around without caring about appearances whatsoever.
"You took a shower?" Besse asked through giggles at seeing such an unusual sight before her eyes
now.
"My dad said I''m dirty," replied Salem with obvious frustration.
"He must be a germophobe," Bessemented betweenughs.
"Germophobe?"
"That means he''s very clean, he would take a shower and change his clothes as long as hees
back from outside because he thought that there are germs outside. And he cleans himself and the
house a lot." Besse exined patiently.
"Not really..." countered Salem.
Besse was surprised.
"He sometimeses home drunk without washing up first and goes to bed, he reeks of alcohol when
Ie into his room."
Besse felt a bit embarrassed and said, "People won''t be sober enough to take a shower when they get
drunk."
"But sometimes when he doesn''t drink, hees home and goes to bed directly without taking off his
clothes and socks. One time Uncle Theodore told me that my dad hadn''t taken a bath or washed his
hair for three days straight."
Besse couldn''t help but burst outughing again at hearing all these stories.
At this moment, Oscar appeared in the living room wearing clean home clothes. He heard how Salem
described him.
Oscar coughed nervously. Salem turned around and saw his father, a little startled. He was just telling
the truth and seemed to have upset his father.
Oscar cleared his throat and pretended not to care. He was trying to exin himself. "I''m too tired after
work, so I''ll lie down for a while. After resting for a bit, I''ll take a shower. And that time when I didn''t
shower for three days was because I worked overtime for three days straight and didn''t have time to
wash up. When I got back from work, the first thing I did was clean myself."
Besse found it amusing. She just let it go in one ear and out the other; she wouldn''t take it to heart. But
Oscar took her seriously and made her feel embarrassed by exining himself so earnestly.
She looked at Salem and said, "Saleme here, let me fix your hair."
Salem walked over. For some reason, he never wanted to get close to others normally but when Besse
called him over he couldn''t refuse. Besse smelled the nice scent of body wash on him, "You smell
good."
"Really?" Salem lowered his head again to smell himself, "I used my dad''s body wash."
"Hmm... it smells great." Besse nodded approvingly.
She carefully fixed Salem''s messy hair while he stood obediently in front of her.
Oscar watched all of this happening before his eyes, how gentle Besse looked as she smiled at Salem
with such tenderness. Something that had never happened before in his life suddenly appeared right
