oment before he looked at Ian.
“So… Nora has cuckolded Justin?”

Ian: “…”

Oh no, why was he suddenly feeling so excited?!

He hurriedly coughed and pressed down and tried to hide his beaming smile.
He said, “What do you mean she cuckolded him? The two of them aren’t engaged yet.
Nora is just making a few friends and having a few relationships, that’s all!”

Joel: “…”

Pete: “…”

A speechless Joel reminded him, “You were the one who just told me not to offend Mr.
Hunt.”

The subtext: “Shouldn’t you also remind Nora about it?”

But unexpectedly, the moment he said that, Ian nodded and said, “Yeah, so you have to maintain a good relationship with him.
This way, when the truth comes to light in the future, you could at least ask him for a favor when you lose to him in a fight.”

Joel: “???”

Was Ian telling him to build a connection with Justin just so he could make use of it in the future?

In the private room, neither Nora nor Justin knew of the sensation that their various secret identities had caused at the Smiths’, let alone that Nora’s image as a philandering scumbag was gradually establishing among the Smiths.

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?
