After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 1120

Chapter 1120 Under One Roof

In the quiet car, Hannah was hesitant. She didn't want to live under the same roof as Oscar. But, he was right. Doyle could come to Northfield for revenge, and there were many ways he could do it given his status and connections. With her understanding of Doyle's character and his anger towards her leaving, she felt that he could do anything extreme.

She thought about it for a moment before asking, "How long?"

"I can't guarantee," Oscar replied honestly. "I'll try to keep it within a month."

A month would be enough time to reach an agreement with Jolencami. As long as they could control Doyle on their end, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Okay," Hannah agreed. The moment she said yes made Oscar's heart race. He never expected her to agree so easily. Knowing her personality, he thought she would rather endure uncertainty than compromise herself by staying with him. Now that Hannah had agreed so readily, he felt somewhat flustered and unsure of what to say next.

"What I mean is we'll be living under one roof but not in the guesthouse you stayed at last time." Oscar clarified himself after taking a deep breath.

"I know."

The safest place would be Oscar's mansion, where heavy security measures were in place. Even if Doyle came to Northfield, there was no way he could get close enough to see her face-to-face without being detected first.

"Mhm," Oscar responded calmly, while his heart was beating fast.

Theodore sat in the passenger seat listening intently. Glancing at Oscar through the rearview mirror, he couldn't help but chuckle. He thought only around Hannah did Oscar seem like an actual human being instead of an emotionless robot who wasn't afraid of pain or death itself.

The car arrived at its destination and both men got out first before waiting for Hannah outside.

Honestly speaking, it still felt strange for Hannah to come back here after all those experiences from before. Memories flooded back into her mind when Lillian used to live here too.

But then again, what else could she do?

She came here now as someone completely different from who she used to be alongside Lillian. It was just temporary accommodation anyway. Oscar stood outside waiting for her while watching over Hannah's hesitation once more. Would she change her mind when she was here? Could she bear living under one roof with him?

Hannah stepped out of the sedan.

"Let's go," she said.

Oscar looked at her cold face. The hesitation she felt just a second ago disappeared when she faced him.

"I'm not going in," Theodore said suddenly, standing to the side.

"Okay, get some rest when you get back." Oscar nodded.

"I slept well on the plane," Theodore laughed and stretched lazily. He seemed very comfortable and relaxed.

Oscar's face darkened visibly at the thought of Theodore snoring on the plane.

"Well then, I'll be off." Theodore didn't pay any attention to Oscar's gaze. He knew Oscar would change completely once he saw Hannah. It was nothing new to him. He then got into the car again and had the driver take him away.

At the entrance of the courtyard, only Oscar and Hannah were left, along with many guards who were responsible for guarding but could be ignored for now.

Hannah chuckled lightly. She didn't care about these things.

"If you don't like it, I can have Sal switch with me so you can stay in his room..."

"No need for that trouble," Hannah said. "It doesn't matter where I stay. It doesn't matter."

Nothing mattered to her now.

Oscar clearly understood what she meant and nodded his head. "Then take a shower and get some rest. When you wake up, we'll have dinner."

"Mhm." Hannah nodded before walking into the room.

Oscar helped her close the door before turning around to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He turned back around and opened the door again.

Inside the room, Hannah had already taken off her clothes and was only wearing a bra on top since she felt dirty from last night's encounter with Doyle. Although nothing happened between them, there was still some discomfort due to their intimate contact, which made her want to wash away everything from Jolencami as soon as possible.

But she never expected Oscar would come in suddenly without knocking since she didn't lock the door either.

And Oscar never expected that Hannah would move so fast or forget to lock the door because he forgot to knock first too. So they both saw each other unexpectedly at that moment.

Oscar saw Hannah's body, her fair skin with some bruises on it left by other men's kisses. And because of those marks, he couldn't turn away immediately. His eyes were fixed on them instead.
