After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 360 Henry, Officially-Bye

Susan answered the phone.

“Hi, Susan,” She heard Henry’s gentle voice through the phone.

Susan was mute for a while. Then she said, “Hi, Henry.”

“Why didn’t you come to the office for such a long time? Are you OK?” Henry asked. He pretended as if

nothing happened.

Susan shut her mouth, for she was searching for words to announce her pregnancy. She had Manuel’s

baby.

He asked, “Do you feel well? Or just have another fight with your dad?” He was as gentle as always.

“No,” Susan replied, “I am pregnant.” She chose to tell him directly.

So that’s why this sentence muted the man on the phone. He was silent for a long while.

With tears gathering in her eyes, Susan could imagine how hard this moment could be for Henry. Just

like her, it was a tough moment as she was notified she had a baby with Manuel.

“Sorry, Henry.” She added.

“No need for apology.” The man chuckled and said, “Congratulations.”

“No, please don’t. You must know that can hurt me for saying so. Indeed, I am…” She failed to finish

her line.

“If only that’s what you want. Whatever.” Henry disturbed her and added, “If only you were happy.”

“No, I’m not. How can I be happy to have Manuel’s baby?” Susan said it loud. It was loud enough to

hear as standing by the door which Manuel was going to open.

He was just right at the door. But he did not come in. So Susan did not notice him.

“The baby is innocent.” Henry added, “Don’t transfer your hate for Manuel to this innocent baby. That

might hurt him.”

“I know. I am surely clear that the baby is innocent. And that’s why I keep him. If not, if not…” Susan

choked with sobs.

“I know.” Henry tried to comfort her and said, “Susan, don’t be hard to yourself. I understand what that

means to you.”

“But that means it’s over for us.” Susan said. She felt heartbroken as saying that. She had planned a

divorce to Manuel someday. And she must go back to Henry then. But the baby made that day

impossible. She might doom to get tangled with Manuel for all her life.

“I see.” Henry said peacefully, “There is no need to consider me. Just do whatever is important for you.

I can accept if that is your choice.”

“Henry, how can you be so nice all the way?” Susan said with a broken heart. That was too much for

her. The kinder Henry was, the more she suffered.

“To get you hurt or suffered is not what I want from you, Susan. Take good care of yourself. I have to

go.” Henry said.

Susan gripped the phone so firmly as if that was her last treasury. She knew what it meant for hanging

up the call. That was an official bye. But there was no other choice. She hung up the phone finally.

Officially bye, Henry.

They had no future any more. After the call, Susan cried her heart out. Manuel, standing at the door

and hearing all this, left silently. He could feel how hard Susan was. But he was not the one that could

console her. So he could only leave in silence.

As hearing the buzz of the call, Henry’s expression changed. Though he had said if only Susan was

happy, he could feel Susan’s leaving him. She gave him up. And he had nothing to do but accepted.

But how could he! How could he give up the property of Phillips Bank that he had coveted for so long?

With a black look, Henry refused to accept. It was impossible for him to allow a happy ending for Susan

and Manuel.

Hannah just came back to her office after a meeting. Then Susan’s call came to her.

“How are you today?” Hannah asked with a smile.

But what she only heard was a fierce cry.

“What’s up? What’s going wrong, Susan?” Hannah said, being a bundle of nerves.

“I broke up with Henry. This time we’re over actually…” Susan howled in a cry.

Hannah got released at hearing so. Susan’s cry aroused her worry about the baby.

“You did scare me, babe. Just take it easy. Actually, you have been broken up since from your wedding

with Manuel.” Hannah said.

“Hannah, do you really understand? Why you are so cruel to me?” Susan accused. Susan could not

accept Hannah’s response, so casual and even cold-blood.

“OK, my dear. I understand that was hard for you. But please, stop your cry. That won’t do any good to

your baby.”

“It is the baby that kills my love!” Susan said angrily.

“Stop it. I heard that a baby can feel its mother’s emotions. If it realizes it is not wanted, it might be so

upset that it could even…” Hannah said. She managed to calm down Susan.

“Now it was a piece of flesh. How can a flesh have mind?” Susan said with a touch of terror.

“Of course, it has. My mother was so sick when she was carrying me. And she was angry and tread to

give me up. Then she found a bleeding which sent her to hospital. Thanks to the in-time treatment, the

little me was saved at last.” Hannah said seriously.

“Come on, Hannah. No more scaring. Do I need to go to hospital to check it up? I don’t think I am nice

enough to him…” Susan said in guilt.

“Well, you do care your baby, right?” Hannah said in a smile.

“…” Susan was left speechless.

Damn it.

This was a trick.

“Susan, you can do nothing but just follow the decision you have made. It’s not wise to keep focusing

on those which you already leave behind. Try to put yourself to Manuel’s shoes. What you suffer now is

what Manuel went through as he decided to let you go, seeing you running into Henry’s arms. And this

man is the one that deserves your love, don’t complaining.”

Susan could not retort.

“Just look forward.” Hannah decided to shift the topic, for she did not wanted to force Susan so hard,

and said, “Will it be a boy or girl?”

“A boy, maybe. I want a boy.” Susan said without thought.

Hannah laughed at hearing so. After all, the baby was wanted by Susan for she cared it so much.

Otherwise she would not have any expectation.

“Justine and Manuel want a girl. So I must want a boy!” Susan said fiercely.

Hannah was left speechless. That was her, her childish friend.

“The boy must be badly handsome, if he looks like his father.” Hannah added.

“No, he must look like me! Must!” Susan retorted at a high voice.

“I cannot agree.” Hannah said directly.

“Are you really at my side? Hannah!” Susan said in fury.

“OK, just kidding.” Hannah said with a good laughter, “ I have to go for a meeting. I will get back to you

later.”

“Fine!” Susan hung up the phone angrily.

Hannah put down her phone.

It must be blessed to have a baby, she suddenly thought.
