Nora really didn't feel like speaking anymore. She merely asked, "Didn't you guys already fall asleep just now?!"
Cherry replied, "Uh-huh, but we were woken up by your fight-”
• • •
Nora's cheeks turned even redder. Fortunately, it was nighttime, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to show her face at all! It seemed that their movements just now had indeed been a little too loud.
She covered herself with the quilt, turned over, and went to sleep!
Even if someone held a knife to her neck tonight, she Wasn't! Going! To! Wake! Up! Again!
Justin:
He looked down at his trousers. He had no choice but to turn around and enter the bathroom.
Cherry asked softly, "Daddy, where are you going?"
"I'm going to take a bath!"
"But didn't you already take one just now?"
"I was defeated by your mother, so I need to take another cold shower to calm myself down." "Daddy, it's not shameful to lose to Mommy."
In the end, it was Pete who spoke. He said, "Cherry, shut up and go to sleep!"
"Okie-Dokie!"
The next day, by the time Nora woke up, the three children had already gone downstairs. She checked the time, it was ten o'clock.
She stretched. At this moment, Justin quietly pushed open the door. When he found that her eyes were open, he walked in.
Nora asked hesitantly, "Why aren't you at the office?"
Justin's eyes were a bit red as he stared at her, much like a wolf whose prey was right beside its mouth, yet it hadn't eaten it. There was a savage ruthlessness in them.
He coughed and replied, "Oh, there's no difference even if I work from home."
"Aren't you busy?"
Nora stretched and sat up.
Justin rejected the call from the vibrating cell phone in his pocket. "No, I'm not."
After speaking, he took a step forward. "Nora, the children are downstairs..."
Practically right after he spoke, there was a knock at the door. Xander called out, "Daddy, is Mommy awake? Are you guys going to fight again?"
Justin:"??"
Nora:"????"
"Really?! Really?!"
Cherry also came over.
Justin stood up straight, took a deep breath, and reluctantly opened the door.
Nora could only go to the bathroom to wash up.
After they went downstairs and had a simple breakfast, the three children played with one another. Nora went to the study, intending to study something.
Not long after she entered the study, Justin walked in with a plate of cut fruits. There was a ravenous look in his eyes as he asked, "Fruits, Nora?"
Nora:
The look in his eyes made Nora panic.
But she could understand his feelings very well!
After all, a wolf would still be able to bear with its hunger if its prey was out of its sight. However, if the prey was right next to its mouth, then how would it be able to endure it?
Besides, she indeed also found it a bit of a shame that things hadn't worked out the night before.
She raised her eyebrows and stood up. With a teasing look in her eyes, she replied, "I don't want fruits. I want you."
"Yeah, there's something I need to do at the hospital."
After Nora spoke, she glanced at Justin and went out.
Justin leaned lazily on the sofa. As he listened to the sound of the car starting outside, he couldn't help sighing.
That woman was really heartless!
The thought had only just formed when his cell phone beeped.
He picked it up and looked down to see that Nora had sent him an address.
Justin was taken aback. Then, he saw a text message from Nora:
'This is a villa I bought in suburban New York.'
Then, she sent a GIF of a woman with heavy makeup on holding a tiny handkerchief and waving it at him.
Justin stared at it for a while. Suddenly, something clicked in his head.
He stood up abruptly, his eyes all lit up.
"Daddy, where are you going?"
Cherry asked again.
Justin strode out of the house. "I'm going to work."
To be honest, with regard to her relationship with Justin, Nora had actually long felt that the conditions were already ripe.
Taking the final step was only a matter of time.
She parked the car, entered the villa, and then reached her arm out behind her to close the door. But before she could close it, a pair of big hands held the door open.
Justin then walked in and closed the door. "With this, no one can disturb us anymore."
Right after he said that, he held her waist firmly, pulling her straight into his arms...
