What part of him had changed?
Cherryâs words made both Nora and Pete look at the door curiously.
Justin entered the room step by step.
He was wearing a black suit. The tall, thin man leaned against the door after entering. His narrow, sharp eyes scanned the private room, then, his gaze traveled to the ceiling and he let out a cough.
Noraâs gaze immediately landed on his face!!!!!
Her cheeks, as smooth as usual, were still poreless, and her fair skin was glowing. In addition to her deep-set, bottomless eyes, her straight, sharp nose, as well as herâ¦..
Huh, where was the beauty mark in the corner of her eye! Why was it gone?!
Nora stood up abruptly and looked at Justin in astonishment.
Justin, who had caught a glimpse of her expression, inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
From the looks of it, she had been out of breath from her current appearance, hadnât she?
Next to them, Cherry was animated. The little girl gasped and said, âMommy, look! Doesnât Daddy look even cuter than he did before?â Justinâs cheeks were a little red.
Wasnât the way the woman was looking at him a little too explicitly and a little too fervently? He was thinking about it when the corners of Noraâs lips spasmed and she asked, âIs the beauty mark at the corner of your eye gone?â
Justin nodded. âYes. Now I lookâ¦â
Before he could utter the word âbetterâ, the woman in front of him suddenly curved her lips in disdain and sighed. âYouâve gotten uglier.â
Justin: â????â
Nora glared at him with a hint of regret in her eyes. âWhy did you take off your beauty mark for no reason, have you suddenly lost your mind?â
Justin: â????â
Even the look of interest in Noraâs eyes seemed to have faded a bit. Looking at Justin, she sighed again, as if she thought she had no hope left.
Justin: ââ¦â
A brief silence instantly descended over the private room.
Cherry and Pete looked at each other. Then Cherry ran over to Pete on her stubby little legs, sat down next to him, and then rested her chin on her hands. She said, âLook at him, Pete. I told Dad that the beauty mark in the corner of his eye was attractive, but he just insisted that it wasnât and insisted on going to the beauty parlor to have it removed. As expected, Mom and I have the same taste when it comes to handsome boys!â
â⦠Uh-huh,â Pete said.
Cherry then pulled out her phone and said, âShall we play, Pete? Itâs been a long time since Iâve helped you.â
âNo, Iâm not playing. I have to finish this problem.â
Cherry: â?â
She curved her lips in disdain and sighed. âWhatâs so fun about those problems, how can they be more fun than games?â
Pete stared at the ceiling speechlessly. âIs playing games the only thing on your mind every day?â
âOf course not!â Cherry looked up at him confidently and said, âI think about cute boys, too!â
As the two little guys talked, Justin touched his nose. Then he sighed, pulled a damp piece of handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corner of his eye, over which the beauty mark reappeared. He let out a quiet sigh and said, âCherry said you might like the beauty mark, so I didnât remove it.â
She walked into the beauty salon, but then turned around and left.
After all, sometimes you could apply a little makeup to cover something up. However, once she was gone, she would never go back! Apparently, Cherry wasnât so unreliable after all!
Nora was relieved to see the beauty mark reappear on the manâs face. She commented, âYou look more pleasing to the eye this way, after all.â
When Justin saw how relieved she was, the corners of her lips slowly curved upward.
For some reason, he suddenly thought that once they were married, in addition to kissing her lips, she could also kiss the beauty mark at the corner of his eye.
The thought made the manâs ears immediately redden, and they blushed to the base of his ears.
When Nora glanced at him, she hesitantly asked, âWhatâs wrong with you, do you have a fever?â
â⦠No. Letâs sit down.â The two sat down and began to eat, looking at each other. At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. Then, someone opened the door to the private room and Brenda rushed in.
Justin frowned. âWhy are you here?â
Brenda replied, âFor dinner, of course! Arenât they having a party here?â.
Justin: âAre they?â
Cherry, who was playing along, asked puzzled, âHow did you know we were here, Aunt Brenda?â
Brenda unceremoniously kicked off her shoes and sat down next to Nora. âTsk, have you forgotten what your aunt does for a living, I have lots of ways to find out where they are.â Then she looked at Nora and said, âCaptain Ford has done a lot of talking for you today in front of Captain Johnson, but that narrow-minded old man still refuses to budge. Iâm very angry.â
She picked up a piece of salmon and stuffed it in her mouth. âSo I decided not to stay in the special department and left.They can do whatever they want! However, Captain Johnson has a reputation for being a difficult man. The way I see it, unless he becomes seriously ill and falls into your hands, it will be very difficult for you to come back!â
Almost as soon as he said that, Noraâs phone rang.
When she answered, Morrisâ voice came from the other end. âCaptain Johnson is having an acute myocardial infarction. The doctor says he is now in critical condition and only you can save him.â
âPfft!â
Brenda, who was listening to the phone call, suddenly spit out the tea she had just drunk. She turned her head and looked at Nora in astonishment. Then, she suddenly burst out in loud laughter and said, âMy mouth must have been blessed. Nora, with this, Captain Johnson has really fallen into your hands!!!!!â
