Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
When the two separated from each other, Nora was still in a daze.
She could see Justin’s chest heaving up and down as if he was trying very hard to suppress something…
There was actually an aesthetically-pleasing sense of abstinence to the way he looked, which made Nora swallow hard. She picked up the bowl of soup next to her and drank a spoonful of it in an attempt to calm the sudden stirrings in her heart.
“Nora, let’s get engaged,”
Justin suddenly said, his gaze as scorching as before.
Nora stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon. A while later, she finally smiled and said, “Okay.”
Hearing her reply, Justin smiled and said, “I suddenly feel a little regretful.”
Nora: “?”
“If I knew you were going to agree so easily, I would have said, ‘Let’s get married’ instead.”
Nora rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t push your luck.”
Her eye roll didn’t bother Justin in the least. He merely made another roast duck wrap for her and held it up to her mouth. “Here, have a bit more as replenishment.”
Nora: “…”
What kind of replenishment was he talking about?!
She bit the roast duck wrap viciously, deliberately biting his fingers too so that she could see him begging for mercy. But in the end, the man merely stared at her.
In fact, the man even straightened his fingers and wriggled them in her mouth.
Nora: “…”
Nora bit down a little harder. The man’s brows drew together slightly, making her heart soften. She could only let go of his hand. When she let go, she heard a low chuckle from the man.
Suddenly, something occurred to Nora and she asked out of the blue, “… Did you wash your hands before dinner?”
Justin: “???”
There was no doubt about it—the woman was definitely an expert at ruining the atmosphere! The woman’s words had completely extinguished all the desire that had just lit up in him.
He took a deep breath, rolled up another roast duck wrap, and held it up in front of her mouth. He said fiercely, “Eat!” A beaming Nora ate another mouthful.
With someone serving her so nicely, it seemed that even such a troublesome way of eating had become less of a waste of time. After the meal, she picked up her cell phone and took a look-two hours had passed.
This was pretty much the longest meal she had ever had.
She stood up, stretched, and said, “Let’s go home.”
Justin nodded and got up as well. When the two were about to leave the private room, Justin asked, “Are you full?”
“Yeah.”
Was there any way she wouldn’t be?
Justin had been feeding her the whole time, offering her one wrap after another, which had made her all too content.
In a polite move, Nora also asked, “Are you full?”
“No.”
The man opened his mouth aggrievedly, which took Nora aback. She looked at the unfinished food on the table. Just as she was about to tell him to eat a little more, the man murmured in her ear, “I didn’t manage to eat at all. All I had was a little taste.”
Nora: “?”
She suspected that the man was playing with words!
She went out of the room with a red face. The moment she stepped out, she saw a woman with straight black hair walking over from the opposite end. She had a smile on her round face, and there were two dimples on her cheeks when she smiled. The woman, who was a little surprised to see Nora, said, “Ms. Smith?”
It was Ruth!
Nora frowned. The next moment, however, she noticed the woman’s gaze landing on Justin, who was behind her. Then, her eyes lit up. Nora: “?”
She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
In an almost subconscious move, she took a step forward and stood in between Ruth and Justin, as if to isolate Ruth’s blatant stare. However, it was to no avail because Ruth suddenly went around her, stepped forward, and looked at Justin excitedly. “Justin, long time no see!” Then, in the midst of Nora’s astonishment, she asked, “D-do you still remember me?!” Nora: “???” So, Justin really did know Ruth?? No, wait… What was going on?
Nora became upset and ignored Justin’s messages the whole night the other time because Ruth had said that she knew Y.
However, it wasn’t really because she was angry. Rather, she had been just been puzzled by the discomfort she had felt when she heard what Ruth said. That was why she hadn’t replied to his messages.
Later, when Justin hacked into the special department and personally explained the incident, she had returned to her usual self.
Even though Ruth was deliberately speaking with Justin in front of her at the moment, Nora did not become suspicious of Justin right away.
She felt that since the two of them liked each other, they should trust each other.
Besides, Ruth had always been fond of cheap tricks.
Therefore, Nora merely raised her eyebrows and looked behind her at Justin.
The man had always kept a straight face no matter what he encountered-after all, he had amazing mental resilience. However, Justin raised his brows at this moment, put on a surprised look, and asked, “You are?”
The light in Ruth’s eyes dimmed at his response. She replied, “I’m Ruth, Ruth Yale. Have you really forgotten me?”
Justin lowered his gaze. “I don’t know you, nor have I even seen you before.”
Ruth was so anxious that she stepped forward. She wanted to say more, but Justin instead put his arm around Nora’s shoulders as if wanting to claim ownership. He said, “Ms. Yale, I am Nora’s fiancé. Please conduct yourself with some self-respect.” Nora: “…”
That scumbag!
Half of that surprised look of his was directed at Ruth, but the other half must be directed at her, right?
In addition, the restaurant was clearly owned by the Hunt Corporation. Now that someone had come up to him, even Nora could sense that the hidden bodyguards were about to rush forward. It was obvious that he could have just driven her away in a more direct manner, yet he was hiding behind her instead.
She had no words for this!
Nora rolled her eyes at Justin. Then, she looked at Ruth with her brows raised and a sharp look in her eyes. “Ms. Yale, do you need something from my fiancé?”
Ruth looked at them in shock. She looked at Justin, then at her, and finally asked, “He’s your fiancé?”
Nora didn’t pay her any more attention. Instead, she started walking toward the exit with Justin. She said, “If there’s nothing Ms. Yale needs, we’ll be leaving. After all, we’re in a hurry to go home and take care of the kids!” She took a step forward and paused for a while. After Justin took the initiative to follow after her, she finally strode toward the parking lot in satisfaction.
It was only after the two of them went past Ruth that she finally turned around to go after them. She said, “Mr. Hunt, have you forgotten? Five years ago…”
Unfortunately, before she could even get close to Justin, Lawrence had already rushed over and stopped Ruth. He said mockingly, “Ms. Yale, right? Your actions seem too low-class! I’d advise you to stay away from Mr. Hunt. Otherwise, we’ll have to take action against you!”
Ruth said, “… No, that’s not… I really do know Mr. Hunt, I…”
“What else do you want to say?” Lawrence curled his lips disdainfully and scoffed, “Take a look at yourself. Are you even worthy of talking with something with Mr. Hunt?”
