Nora chased after him â was she going to say something?
Justin looked at the woman expectantly.
Then, he said, âAre you leaving now?â
The womanâs voice was lazy and full of confusion.
Justin: ââ¦â
He knew this woman didnât know how to be flirtatious.
He lowered his eyes and sighed. âYes, I have something to do at the company.â
He repressed the unhappiness in his heart and said in a burst, âIs there something else?â
âYes, there is.â
Nora said word for word, âThe first time I got involved with you was, indeed, because of the children. And I really had no plans to get married in this lifetime.â
Justinâs heart slowly sank.
The woman leaned against her car and lifted her chin slightly. Her almond eyes looked off into the distance. âYou also know that I was very fat when I was young. I was humiliated and scolded by others. At that time, I wanted to live alone in the future. Later, when I had a son, although I was very curious about how he was born, I took things as they came. Gradually I understood that I could live with the children and that I didnât need a man to lean on.â
She had her own hands and feet. If she was capable, what man did she need to lean on? Justinâs heart sank.
He sighed.
Indeed, many women looked for men to lean on, but this kind of love was wrong in itself.
Marriage should be about both parties supporting each other, not just men. If a woman sought a man just to find someone to lean on, then in such a relationship, the woman would naturally be at a disadvantage.
She had never planned to marry. She even felt that life would be better if she only had Pete.
But thenâ¦
As she was thinking, she hears Nora say again, âLater, when I met you, I slowly came into contact with you. I felt very comfortable being with you. The two of us were always sincere with each other, and you always acted like a qualified fatherâ¦â
Hearing that they were sincere with each other, Justinâs eyes twitched with guilt. However, when he heard that he was a qualified father, he felt sad again.
In his heart, was he just a qualified father?
But he didnât want her to accept him just because of his role as a father!
As he thought about this, he heard Nora say, âAfter that, I realized I was treating you a little differently.â
Justinâs disappointed heart suddenly lit up.
A light shone in his long, narrow eyes as he asked, âWhatâs different?â Nora tilted her head. âItâs just different.â
Justin was very anxious. âIn what way?â
âDifferent in every way.â
âWhich ones?â
ââ¦Anyway, just different!â
Justin laughed softly.

On the second floor.
Ian craned his neck and looked off into the distance, telescope in hand. âJustin doesnât look too good â did they have a fight? He just walked by, did you hear anything?â
The butler said, âI just heard Mr. Hunt ask Miss Smith âWhichââ¦â
ââWhichââ¦â Ian thought carefully. âI get it â are they arguing about which place to go on vacation?â
The butler: â?â
The corners of his mouth twitched. He looked at Ian and asked suddenly, âSir, you donât mind if the Internet says that Mr. Hunt raped a woman a few years ago?â
As soon as he said this, Ian looked at him. âSteward, you have to look beyond the surface. How could Justin have taken a liking to that ordinary looking woman? Unless heâs blind. Even if the Internet is in an uproar, it must be Justin and Noraâs plan. This is not the main issue.â
The butler asked, âThen what is?â
Ian frowned and looked down. âThe main question is where they are going.â
The butler was speechless.
Ian put on his reading glasses and pulled out a map. âWhere did Yvette want to go on her honeymoon years ago?â
The butler: ââ¦â
Ian looked at the map for a while and then looked outside.
The butler suddenly asked, âSir, are you okay with Mr. Hunt and Miss Smithâs relationship now?â
Ian sighed. âI feel like Iâve never seen Nora smile like that before.â
As long as she had that smile, how could he bear to stop them?
Sigh.
Nora and Justin played for a while. When Justin questioned her, she took two steps back with a smile on her face.
Her almond eyes curved slightly, making her look cheerful. She was no longer as cold as usual.
In the end, Justin lost.
He knew this woman wasnât flirtatious. It was bad enough that she said something different. It was probably impossible for her to say things like she liked him or loved him.
Forget it, this was it!
When Nora wasnât looking, he suddenly rubbed her head. Her long, soft hair was as smooth as silk in his hands, which made him love her so much he couldnât bear to let go.
Unfortunately, Nora put her head down and avoided him. âCan you go upstairs now and still be a good father?â Justin smiled, âI really have something to attend to at my company.â
Nora: â?â
The mole between Justinâs eyes seemed to smile. âThatâs right.â
Nora finally understood. So this man had left earlier frustrated and wasnât really sad?
She seemed to have been fooled by his appearance again!
Nora took a deep breath and stepped back to yield to him. âAll right, go!â
Justin nodded happily and got into the car to drive away.

When he arrived at the company, Sean and Lawrence happened to catch up with him.
Lawrence pointed out to him, âBoss, I keep getting the feeling that Ruth doesnât have a good relationship with that child. Maybe the child is not really hers. Also, the other party has a mysterious hacker who blocked the signal, preventing me from hearing what she said.â
Justin closed his eyes. âThatâs not weird.â
The mysterious organization had existed for many years and even had a tendency to expand day by day. There had to be a lot of power inside, so what was so strange about a hacker who could block their signals? As he was thinking, Sean said, âBoss, our people went looking for Henry.â
This sentence made Justin stop in his tracks and look at him. â¿Y?â
Sean sighed. âHeâs dead!â
These words made Lawrence and Justinâs pupils shrink.
Lawrence asked nervously, âWhatâs going on, werenât ours following him around all the time?â To punish Henry, Justin had someone steal his driverâs license and money, which prevented him from leaving New York.
Since then, he had been begging for his life.
However, he had always been under Justinâs watch.
Logically, bringing him in was a simple matter, but now, suddenly, it had turned out that wayâ¦..
Sean said, âI heard about it recently, too. It happened yesterday. He and a group of beggars were fighting over food, but our people didnât see him. When he broke away from those people, he grabbed his stomach and staggered. When he fell to the ground, our people rushed over and realized that he had been stabbed in the stomach. He died in the hospital today.â
Hearing this, Lawrence said angrily, âHow did he die? Your people are too useless, what should we do now?â
Sean did not speak.
Justin suddenly lowered his eyes. âHis death only proves our suspicions.â
