Chapter 1121 The Boy Who Waited at the Door

"How much longer do you have to wait?" Hannah stared at Oscar.

Instinctively, she had blocked her body from his gaze. But then again, if Oscar was still a gentleman, he

would immediately close the door and leave. She didn't need any more of this. But she hadn't expected

Oscar to stare at her body for so long, which made her feel annoyed.

Oscar withdrew his gaze and turned away without looking at her again. Even though his mind was filled

with those indelible traces, he said, "I forgot to remind you that all the clothes in the closet are new and

you can wear them."

"Thank you," Hannah replied coldly and awkwardly.

Oscar closed the door but didn't leave right away. The pain in his heart made him want to calm down a

bit but also eased it. At that moment, he heard the sound of locking from inside the room. He thought

he had disgusted her once again. After locking the door, Hannah went straight into Oscar's closet. She

needed new clothes after taking a shower.

As soon as she entered the closet room full of clothes of different styles, she found everything she

wanted was there, even intimate clothing in her size. It was so rich that it made her wonder if Oscar

had planned this all along.

But even if he did plan it out beforehand, what could be done about it?! At least for now, she had no

choice but to rely on him. Hannah picked out some casual wear and sleepwear before heading into the

bathroom for a shower.

Standing in front of the mirror inside the bathroom revealed many marks left by Doyle on her body last

night, which were not easy to wash off completely. So when Oscar looked at her just now, he wasn't

looking at her body, instead, he saw those marks. Her heart stirred slightly with emotion, recalling

Oscar's gaze on her. He must misunderstand something. But, she didn't intend or need an explanation

either way.

Then she went directly towards the centre of the bathroom, where water flowed overhead. She washed Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

clean thoroughly. Every time she thinks about what Doyle did to her, she felt an uncomfortable feeling

arising inside.

After finishing showering, Hannah tried hard not to let sleepiness overcome her while blow-drying her

hair before finally collapsing onto the bed exhaustedly afterwards.

There wasn't any trace or scent of Oscar left on the bed. Everything was clean and new on the bed,

which gave her peace in the heart.

When Hannah woke up later, she found out that darkness had already engulfed the outside world. She

blinked her eyes and took a moment to realize where she was. She had returned to Northfield, leaving

Jolencami and Doyle behind. Stretching lazily, she got up and went to freshen up before heading out

for some food. She was starving.

As soon as she opened the door, a small figure jumped into her arms. Hannah quickly caught Salem in

a hug.

"Sal?" Hannah called out to him. "What are you doing sleeping here?"

Salem stood up straight and explained quickly, "Dad told me you were back, so I wanted to come to

find you. But he said you were sleeping and I couldn't disturb you, so I waited outside your door until I

fell asleep."

Hannah smiled at him fondly as she crouched down to his level.

"You silly boy," she scolded gently. "You could have knocked on the door instead of risking falling if

Mom didn't catch you."

"I'm not afraid of pain," Salem bravely declared with a grin on his face. "As long as Mom is with me,

nothing hurts."

Hannah's heart melted at his words. Salem truly was a little sweetheart who had been on her mind

constantly while being held captive by Doyle in Jolencami.

She stroked Salem's head and promised him softly, "I won't leave you again."

"Dad already told me that too!" Salem exclaimed excitedly before taking her hand in his small one.

The little boy felt like he had never been so happy before in all his life.

Hannah smile genuinely and touched the boy's hair again. She said, "I'm hungry, do we have

something to eat for dinner?"

"Yes! Dad prepared dinner for Mom, I'm taking you there." Salem pulled Hannah's hand, which made

her feel warm.

Then they made their way towards the dining room together through the quiet house, which was lit

dimly. Only guard patrols and one or two remaining servants were there.

As they passed by the living room, Hannah saw the clock reveal it was already 2 AM. How had Salem

managed to stay awake for so long? Didn't Oscar care about what he did?

Hannah couldn't help but wonder if Oscar would have let him stand outside her door all night if she

hadn't woken up.

"Mom, do you like all of these?" Salem had no idea what Hannah was thinking as he watched the

servant prepare the food. He quickly asked, "Dad said these are all things that Mom likes, right?"

Hannah looked at the rich variety of dishes in front of her. "Yes, but there's too much. We can't finish it."

"It's okay if we can't finish it. As long as Mom likes it." Salem replied.

"But we shouldn't waste so much food," Hannah said.

"Don't worry about it. Dad has a lot of money," Salem said confidently.

"Did he say that?" Hannah frowned.

Oscar had instilled some bad thoughts into Salem's mind, Hannah thought to herself.

"I can see it myself," Salem replied knowingly.

Hannah pinched his chubby cheeks and said, "Even if we have a lot of money, we shouldn't waste

anything. Saving is a traditional virtue, you know?"

"Oh," Salem obediently nodded his head and added, "Let me eat with you so there won't be any

waste."

"Are you hungry?" Hannah saw through his little scheme. Salem rubbed his small belly sheepishly and

answered with an affirmative sound, "Mm-hmm."

"Let's eat together then."

"All right."

Salem happily ate dinner with his mother. Even though he was also hungry, he tried hard to take care

of his mother's every need during their mealtime together by awkwardly serving her food on her plate.

Whenever she took a bite from something that he served for her, the little boy revealed a big grin on his

face. Hannah couldn't turn him down so she ate a lot.

It had been around 3 AM.

"Salem? Aren't you going to sleep now?"

"Don't you want to see me?"

"It's getting late now, you're not going to kindergarten tomorrow."

"But I'm afraid... when I woke up, you'll disappear again."

"How about sleeping next to Mom tonight then?" suggested Hannah.

"Really? Can I do that?"

"Of course!"

"I want to go to bed now. I'm sleepy." Salem said as he rubbed his eyes.

Hannah was amused by his act. Salem was a smart boy.

She went back to the room with Salem. After brushing his teeth, they went to bed together.

Hannah finally returned to Salem after all these years of separation.
