The manâs body froze as soon as Nora pressed his shoulders.
After hearing her words, he could only slowly turn around and smile. âHello, Anti. Long time no see.â
The manâs familiar face was still white. His slim figure wore a black shirt and looked clean. It was Solo, whom she hadnât seen in a long time.
Nora smiled, âYes, itâs been a long time since Iâve seen you.â
Seeing her like that, Solo asked, âWhen, when did you first realize I was following you?â
âFrom the moment you caught up with us.â
Solo: ââ¦â
Nora said again disdainfully, âBut you were driving so slowly. Youâre so stupid.â
She had to drive slowly too. If not, she was too afraid I would lose her.
Just: ââ¦â
She knew. Nora had always been a fierce driver, but now she drove slowly and even admired the scenery. So thatâs what it was all about.
He just scratched his head. Nora simply turned around and walked back to the table, next to Queenie.
She just hurried over. âAnti, can you do me a favor?â.
Nora picked up her fork again and took a bite. Then, she looked at Queenie. âDelicious.â
Queenie was already eating. She nodded and said, âYour mother taught me this.â
Nora was shocked.
After taking two bites, she realized there was an egg under the pasta.
She took another bite and heard Queenie say, âI grew up in the mysterious organization. No one had taught me how to cook. Your mother taught me for two days back then, saying I should cook for her children in the future.â
He lowered his eyes. âBut after your motherâs death, I never did it again. Fortunately, this pasta tastes good. By the way, your mother had asked me to pass on a message to you.â
âWhat is it?â asked Nora.
She looked at Nora. âRemember the taste of this pasta dish. This is momâs smell.â
Her motherâs smellâ¦.
Nora lowered her head and looked at the pasta on the plate. She suddenly felt that the overly bland pasta smelled much better.
He was just a little anxious as he watched the two of them eat. âAnti, did you hear me, can you do me a favor?â
Nora was still ignoring him and concentrating on finishing the dish.
Then, she looked up at him. âNo.â
Solo fretted instantly. âI havenât even said anything yet and youâre already saying no. Do you know what I want you to help me with?â
Nora: âIn short, I canât.â
With that, she looked at the time. âBrenda and the others have almost caught up with us. Wait for them here.â
She and Queenie got up.
The two of them went outside. When they reached the door, Solo asked, âAnti, can you really stand it that Brenny and I love each other but canât be together?â
Nora paused.
Solo lowered her head, with the look of a neglected and wronged child. âIâve been thinking about it for a long time. Back then, I caused the death of Brennyâs partner. Although Iâm not the mastermind, the only way I can be forgiven is if I catch or kill Barbarian myself. Iâll avenge his partner!â
He rushed toward Nora. âThen take me with you! I know Barbarian will come back for you without a doubt.â
Nora looked at him a couple of times and sighed quietly. âYouâre too weak.â
âI know. I know I canât compare to you in martial arts and I canât compare to you in terms of hacking. But take me with you, who knows what use I might be?â
His eyes turned red. âAt least Iâm not afraid of death. I can risk my life.â
This was the reason Nora would not take him with him.
He was only determined to get revenge. If he was with Brenda, he would definitely act recklessly if he really saw Barbarian. If Nora couldnât beat him, he could still take Queenie and runâ¦.
However, if she brought Solo too, she would lose her life in vain.
Nora shook her head. She was about to speak when Queenie suddenly said, âBring him.â
These words stunned Nora.
Queenie sighed. âThere are too many lovers in this world separated by life and death. Death is sometimes a relief compared to living apart.â
