After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 1173

Chapter 1173 Guilty

"Are you going to work as usual now?" Oscar refused the cigarette that Theodore offered and asked.

"Do you have something to do?" Theodore asked.

"I plan to go to Kensbury City and take Salem with me." Oscar replied.

"To see Hannah?" Theodore chuckled.

Oscar didn't deny it either.

"Hannah should still be moved by you, right?"

"No," Oscar remembered, feeling a bit helpless. "I've been to Kensbury City two or three times and didn't see her every time. This time, with Salem, maybe there's hope."

"Good luck."

"You should leave work early too." Oscar said. "I saw in the news that Little Bunny had some trouble. If you want to win her back, help her."

"Okay." Theodore nodded.

"I'll go first."

"Bye-bye."

Oscar left.

Theodore felt melancholy again. He always felt like he was doing something wrong now for Oscar's trust in him was so great yet he was doing illegal things behind his back.

But he knew very well that if he didn't help Little Bunny rescue Addison, she would carry guilt towards Addison forever. Finally, Theodore picked up the phone and dialed, "Find someone else to take responsibility and unify their statements. Addison took drugs while not sober due being maliciously framed by someone else."

"Yes sir." The other end received the order but still had doubts, "Sir are you really going to do this?"

"If anything happens I'll take responsibility."

"That's not what I meant, I just feel..."

"Just do it like this for now. Find someone else responsible for it all and arrange everything for them so they keep their mouth shut tight."

"Yes sir."

Theodore hung up the phone with a heavy sigh once again thinking about how many things were done in secret before. But since he walked on a righteous path all these years, he had never used his power illegally until today. He wondered if one day he might really die at Little Bunny's hands. After finishing everything necessary at work, Theodore left the office, thinking about how Little Bunny was waiting for him at home. Despite his bad attitude earlier on, he didn't want her to wait for him too long or even starve herself without him there.

His driving speed was faster than usual as he headed home, only to find an empty room upon arrival. That made he frustrated. He laughed at himself again. He always took Little Bunny's words seriously. But she was just being perfunctory with him. Their intimacy was just a formality, even when they went to bed together or when she treated him well.

Feeling tired, Theodore lay on the couch and waited for Little Bunny to come back. He didn't know how long he had been waiting until he heard the sound of the door opening. It must be Little Bunny coming back. But Theodore didn't move and kept lying there, feeling someone approaching him. It was a familiar scent. It must be Little Bunny who came closer and carefully covered him with a blanket.

"I'm back," Theodore said as he opened his eyes suddenly, scaring her off guard.

"Did I wake you up?" asked she.

Little Bunny finished cooking the food and called out enthusiastically from the kitchen table, "Theodore come eat!"

Theodore got up from the couch and walked over to join her at the table, where everything was already set up nicely with utensils laid out neatly on top of it all.

"I heard you like these food so I learned some recipes online." Said Little Bunny excitedly while placing dishes on top of plates before asking, "Please try them. If they don't taste good, let me know so I can improve."

Theodore simply looked at her, who seemed intent on using food as a way of tempting him.

"Go ahead," urged Little Bunny.

Theodore picked up his fork and took a bite of dry-fried pork, which were crispy outside yet tender inside with an intense flavor from red chili peppers mixed in perfectly throughout each bite making them incredibly satisfying overall. It tasted even better than what most restaurants could offer.

He couldn't reject Little Bunny anyway, especially when he saw how much effort she put into preparing these dishes just for him and the chilli made her eyes tear up.

"I've taken care of Addison's situation." Said he.

Little Bunny froze completely.

"How did you manage that?" asked she.

Theodore chuckled softly before replying, "How else do you think?"

At that moment, Little Bunny felt an inexplicable pain deep within her chest, realizing how much indebtedness she owed towards Theodore.
