After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 361

Hannah dialed to Manuel as she finished the call with Susan.

“Hi Hannah. How are you?” Manuel said in a peaceful tone as usual. There seemed to be nothing that could make a difference for him.

“Susan called me just now and she told me she has made an official ending with Henry.” Hannah directed to the subject, other than beating around the bush.

Manuel wore barely a hint of smile.

Hannah did paid a lot of efforts in pairing him off with Susan.

“I heard her call from Henry just now.”

“Anyway, that’s what we want, no matter how.”

“Hope so.” Manuel said with a smile.

“I just want to leave a reminder with this call. As Henry was notified that Susan carried a baby. You must be careful, just in case.”

Manuel received her kindness and said, “I will, thanks.”

“Anyway, congratulations,” Hannah said with a smile,” well, I could not imagine that you would have a baby so soon.”

The emotionless face melt into a smile whenever he heard of the baby.

“Me, either.”

“Take good care of her.”

“Of course.” Manuel said without a stop.

“Fine, I have to go for a meeting.”

“OK, see you.”

As the call was over, Manuel directed his sight to the bedroom.

He left out of instincts. He just shunned the love between Susan and Henry. Now he suddenly realized that he needed a shift. Hannah was right. He had more to do. He pulled himself to the bedroom.

Susan sat on the bed, resting herself by the headboard and playing games. But the game got her more cranky. “ Why there is no any backup for me? Haven’t you seen that I became their target?”

A freezing voice of her mate responded on the phone, “ Who do you think you are, 0-8? Who the hell would like to support you?”

“I can grow stronger. Calling for SUP!” Susan said in furry.

“No. To follow you is to be slain.”

“How about just surrender now? We are wasting time for being damaged like that!”

“No surrender!” Susan was furious.

Then the phone was snatched out off her hand.

“What’s wrong with you, Manuel?” Susan was exploded.

Didn’t he see that she was on the edge by her ally in the game?

Why did he show up just at such fucking moment?

Then, she saw Manuel was playing the game right away. And he muted the phone.

“what’s up with you?” Susan felt a surge of anger as seeing the man focusing on her game.

But the man skipped her question but asked, “Who is hunting you?”

“None of your business! Can you play a shoot? Give it back to me!” Cranky Susan said.

“Is your enemy in the jungle?” Manuel inquired, with his agile fingers beating on the screen skillfully.

“Return it to me!” Susan ordered.

Then a voice slipped from her phone, “Well, well, well! What a counterattack! Maybe all about luck?”

Her cold-blood ally was still making fun of her. But Manuel had no reply. He concentrated to the screen. With a deep frown, Susan posed her head to figure out what was happening.

“Girls, right? I won’t mind it.” Susan said casually.

“A friend. Male, instead.” Manuel explained.

Susan raised her head, watching the man in front.

“I can be your company if you love the game.” Manuel shifted the topic.

“No, thanks. We are not at the same level.”

“No prob. My friend’s level is not so high, either.” Manuel said with a smile.

Why did he look so gentle?

Damn.

That must be a girl, the friend.

Susan put down her phone, thrust herself into the duvet, and said, “I’m weary.”

“All right,” Manuel responded. So now he was going to leave the room as per her expectation. However, the man suddenly put himself to the bed too.

Susan was shocked. She would have protested it, but compromised at last. She had no idea why she behaved so contradictory before the man.

The room was quiet again. Manuel was a decent man indeed. He would not passed the center line of the bed by himself.

So as for her leaning to him so intimately this morning, it must be her who clung onto him. She was not what she used to be when she was slumbering. With all these in her mind, she failed to fall asleep though she tried hard to.

Pregnancy was just about eating, sleeping and sometimes playing just for killing time. Such days seemed endless. Susan was left disconsolate.

Maybe the man besides was the factor to drive away her taste of sleep. She just lied still with her eyes shut, until, after a long while, she felt the man behind made a sudden advance to her.

And then she fell into his arms, feeling a big palm covering on her low abdomen. With a nervous tense in her body, she just let herself into the warm hug, other than pushing him away.

The arms summoned her taste of sleep finally. She had no idea how they developed to what they were now. They just grew to a couple like this bit by bit. And obviously, she got used to it.
