Chapter 649 Cian Comes to the Party

Susan was so conflicted inside, not knowing how to react.

She saw Henry trying to take her hand again in a very careful way. Henry was always humble and This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

inferior to her and he humbly longed for her love and trust. She allowed it when Henry took her hand

this time.

"I'm more relieved without the 20% of the company in hand. I've been heavily burdened and bothered

not only because I couldn't have you. More importantly, I don't think I'm qualified to have them. Now

that they're gone, I'm so relieved and won't be so stressed in front of you anymore. Susan..."

Henry called her name softly and Susan looked him into his eyes.

"Let's start over and be good to each other, OK?"

Susan said nothing and found it hard to agree with Henry again.

Henry tried to hold back his anger. If it were before, Susan would have thrown herself into his arms

without hesitation. However, she didn't trust him as much as she used to. He hid his rage well and

acted to be gently, "It's OK. I understand it's hard to accept it now. Take the time."

Susan didn't want him to be humble and inferior to her. His humbleness and inferiority would only make

her feel bad and drift her away.

"Alright." Said Henry.

In Susan's eyes, Henry was saving himself from embarrassment. He had always been too cautious in

order to keep their relationship.

"No worries. Just leave it to me. All you need to do is be my happy princess. I just hope to see that

happy and carefree smile on your pretty face." Henry said it and held Susan in his arms.

Susan leaned against his chest. It was too much information for her. But it seemed she didn't have any

other choice but to accept it.

The villa was decorated with coloured lanterns and flowers, which made it look jubilant. Everything o

the set was slightly overdone.

Oscar got off work on time. He noticed the unique decoration as soon as he came home. He didn't

think it a big deal of celebrating his birthday but still expected it when he saw Hannah's delicate

decoration. He thought life should come with a sense of ceremony.

He went into the drawing-room happily, looking for Hannah to give her a big hug. Then he paused his

steps abruptly and stared at the young man in front of him. For one second, he couldn't believe it was

Cian, his younger brother.

Cian felt uncomfortable with his stare and said, "Did I disturb you?"

Oscar blinked his eyes and turned to Hannah.

"I told Cian to come." Said Hannah.

"I'm so glad that Hannah still remembered me. I thought you'd forgotten me once you left." Cian smiled

and said.

Oscar was at a loss for words. Hannah couldn't understand the look on his face.

She wasn't sure if Oscar wanted Cian to be here. She wasn't sure if Cian's appearance was a happy

surprise to him. But Cian was one of the only three family members to Oscar. She could feel how much

Oscar longed for family love though he never said it out, and he was even strongly attached to his

parents and brother.

"Oh, look who's here! Cian!" Suddenly, a playful voice came into their ears. Theodore came in and

looked much calmer than Oscar.

"Long time, Theo." Cian looked towards him and addressed him politely.

"I can't believe you left that stupid island. How did you get here?" asked Theodore casually. His voice

warmed up the proceedings.

Hannah seized the chance to go up to Oscar, held his hand and acted like a kitten. Oscar sighed lightly.

"Hannah invited me." Answered Cian, "It's very kind of you, Hannah. My brother just left and

disappeared without a trace, but you still remember me."

Surely, Hannah knew it was dangerous to take Cian back from the island. Telling from her experience

of living ten more years, Cian's identity hadn't been found out from the beginning to the end, which

meant the aristocratic families didn't know Oscar had a genetically related brother. In that case, none of

them would pay any attention to him, and he would still be unknown if she covered it better.

"Cian! Is that you?" At the time, another male voice came into their ears. Manuel came in and was

shocked to see Cian in the room.

"Yeah, Manuel," Cian said and smile at him.

Outwardly, Cian was more easygoing than Oscar since the former was always kind to people, while

Oscar was so unapproachable that both Theodore and Manuel were afraid of him.

"There you are! What a nice surprise!" Manuel seemed to have expected him.

Hannah called Manuel the other day and told him the idea of taking Cian to Kensbury City, and he

agreed. He thought Cian could go around from time to time instead of being isolated on the island. Cian

and Oscar spent little time together but they loved and admired each other though they never said it

out. Indeed, they were pretty close. He believed Oscar would be very happy if Cian could come to his

birthday party.

"Yep." Cian put on a bright smile, "I couldn't turn down Hannah's invitation."

Hannah thought Cian was a smart guy, who kept telling people that he came to the party only because

Hannah insisted, which had shifted the blame to her, because Oscar was a little unhappy to see him

there.

How could he be so tricky?

She remembered he was over the moon when she called and invited him to the party.

"Now you know how tricky he is, don't you?" Oscar whispered in her ears and gloated.

Hannah pouted.

"Now that everyone is here, let's dig in!" Max stepped forward and said respectfully.

Hannah nodded. Then everyone went to the dining room. The dining room was in the garden, which

was delicately decorated with all different kinds of coloured lanterns, ribbons, balloons and flowers,

warm and romantic. In a word, Hannah had done her best to throw a fabulous party for Oscar.
