Oscar escorted Cian to the gate. A couple of black cars were parked orderly there and some guys were waiting for them.
"Cian," Oscar called his name when he was about to get into the car.
Cian turned around to look at him.
Oscar bit back the words and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder, "Safe trip."
"You know what, Oscar? I'm very happy tonight, though it's a short time." Cian said with a smile.
Oscar stared at him.
"I've seen you off since I was little. Every time I stood still and watched you drive away. This is the first time that you saw me off."
Oscar hesitated and didn't expect that Cian cared so much about it.
"Hannah is a nice person. Don't let her down."
Oscar nodded slightly.
Cian smiled and said nothing else. He knew he didn't have a choice. Their lives had been beyond control since they were born.
Cian got in the car. So did Laird. A line of black cars drove past Oscar. Finally, he knew how it felt to see somebody off. He finally understood Cian's feelings deep down.
A moment later, he turned around to go back to the house and found Hannah waiting for him not far away. He smiled and felt great to see his beloved one when he was down. It felt like a twist of fate where everything had come back to life after a long winter or the world had been saved from the dark.
Hannah stepped forward to take his hand, and Oscar clutched her to him.
"Did I cause you any trouble?" said Hannah. She meant that she had made it difficult for Oscar by taking Cian to the party. Anyway, Laird was mad. She knew besides Laird, many other loyal people out there were supporting and protecting Oscar and Cian, the descendants of the Royal Wells Family. Laird didn't complain about it, but it didn't mean the others would be cool with it.
"Nope." His magnetic voice sounded better on this quiet night, "Thank you, my wife."
Hannah smiled.
"I always think I've cared much about Cian. I spend as much time as possible with him whenever I go visit him on the island. Most of the time, l do my best to fulfil his requirements. I can tolerate his unreasonable behaviours as long as he doesn't violate the principles. But, I've never thought of what he wants! He told me it was the first time that I've seen him off and he was happy. Maybe I don't know what he wants."
Hannah leaned on his chest, listened to his strong heartbeats and said softly, "What Cian wants is nothing but your attention and care."
Oscar nodded. He knew there was a strong bond between Cian and him. And that was why they still loved each other as a family though they were bearing a blood feud.
Then she remembered Hannah had stood her up for Oscar and got annoyed. So, she interrupted them on purpose.
Even so, Hannah and Oscar were still doing the lovey-dovey stuff like nobody else was there. She spoke again and finally got their attention.
"Susan? What are you doing here?" asked Hannah surprisingly.
"You told me not to come. But I'm here!" said Susan, "So, bite me! Humph!"
Hannah couldn't do anything with her. At times, Susan was as childish as a twelve-year-old. But she didn't think Susan was here to mess things up. She must have been in trouble, otherwise, she wouldn't have come uninvited.
What's more, she didn't want Susan to come to the party because Cian would be there. They must keep Cian's identity a top secret. She trusted Susan, but she must respect Oscar and the others. Since Cian had left, she would just let Susan do as she wished.
Susan went into the sitting room without asking them for permission.
"Let's go," Hannah said to Oscar.
Oscar nodded. Clearly, he was still lingering over the hot kiss. Hannah smiled and felt good when she saw Oscar couldn't do anything with her, which she thought was enjoyable.
