Chapter 340 - 215: Nora Scott: We’ve Been Together for Six Years [Part 2]

"So," after a pause, Nora Scott lightly bit the corner of her lip and spoke swiftly and softly, "come upstairs with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nora turned and walked towards the main entrance.

She couldn’t break free from the hand gripping her wrist, dragging along the person holding her as she walked inside.

The night breeze lifted her hair, fluttering behind her and brushing past her nose. Pedro Langley inhaled lightly, catching a faint scent of her hair cream, which made his heart skip a beat.

With a "click," the switch went on, and the lights in the living room suddenly lit up.

Having stayed here for a few days, Nora Scott hadn’t done much besides washing up, rushing through drafts, and sleeping. Everything in the living room was the same as Pedro Langley had seen the last time he came.

Stopping at the entrance to change shoes, Nora tossed him a pair of men’s slippers and said, "Guest room, study, sofa, you can sleep wherever you like."

Leaning against the doorway, Pedro Langley raised an eyebrow and slowly said, "I thought—"

Hearing him speak with such emphasis, Nora felt her head spinning and quickly interrupted, "I have to get up early tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Pedro paused for a second and suddenly chuckled.

He bent down and leaned in close to Nora, who was changing her shoes.

He asked softly, "So as long as you don’t have to get up early?"

"..."

Nora looked up in astonishment.

This logic... successfully left Nora speechless for a few seconds.

Then, her ears grew hot, and her skin flushed a light pink.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

The phone suddenly vibrating in her bag saved Nora at that moment.

Stepping into her slippers, Nora walked towards the living room, simultaneously retrieving her phone from her bag. By the time she answered the call, she had already reached the balcony.

"I just happened to need something from you."

The night breeze hit the balcony, cool and gentle, dispersing the heat from her cheeks and ears, and adding a bit of chill to Nora’s voice.

"Uncle Master..." Benjamin Durant was about to ask where Nora was when he paused, feeling a bit stiff and nervously probing, "What is it?"

Squinting slightly, with one hand on the balcony railing, Nora asked coldly, "Did you arrange for those people?"

"I..."

Benjamin instinctively wanted to explain but realized as soon as he spoke that he shouldn’t have known what Nora was referring to, so he quickly changed his words, "What? Which people are you talking about?"

"They came with intentions. You’re the only one I told about my whereabouts." Nora said steadily, then her voice suddenly grew sharper, with a tone of severity, "Still denying?"

"Wrong, wrong, I was wrong."

Unable to hold out for three seconds, Benjamin realized he couldn’t fool the perceptive Master Uncle and quickly admitted his mistake.

At the same time, he weakly defended himself, "I just wanted to test that pretty boy for you. Look at him, letting you fight while he hides behind, acting all spineless and not manly at all—"

"He could easily take you down," Nora interrupted him.

This wasn’t Nora shielding Pedro Langley or giving him undue praise.

Just judging from the kick Pedro delivered to Ethan Scott and his ability to take down all those people, he’s definitely been practicing over the past few years.

However, his starting point was a bit late... compared to Nora, he’s still a bit lacking.

"Im-possible!"

Benjamin loudly retorted, feeling insulted from body to soul.

"Nothing’s impossible, with your aptitude, even my senior sister doesn’t want to recognize you as her disciple."

Nora cruelly stabbed her weak and helpless junior nephew in the chest.

Stabbing again and again, like a ruthless and cold-blooded female demon who kills without blinking.

"..."

Benjamin was too hurt to even say a word.

After a brief pause, Nora remembered the main issue and warned him, "I’ll let you off this time, but there won’t be a second chance."

"...Oh."

"Also, his car is still parked in the plaza. Take it for repairs and deliver a new one to him tomorrow."

Upon hearing this additional task, Benjamin wasn’t happy, "Why should I?"

"Because he didn’t call the police to arrest you."

"..."

In this law-abiding society, no matter how arrogant and domineering the Northwest Master might be, at this moment, he could only submissively bow his head.

He couldn’t afford to act tough.

Having done such a thing, even if Nora just hinted about it to his dad, his dad would break his legs.

After a silent moment, Benjamin, as if discussing a secret, softly asked, "Uncle Master, are you really with him?"

"..."

Nora furrowed her brows.

However, before she could speak, Benjamin couldn’t help but start persuading, "Uncle Master, this guy is too good with sweet talk. Even if you really are with him, you should keep some distance."

"Men are all the same! Really! Think about it, with your temper..."

Halfway through, Benjamin almost blurted out what was truly on his mind, but quickly changed his tune, "Cough, no, I mean, with your figure, your looks, who wouldn’t like you, right? So if he’s already thinking about other things just after you start dating, he’s definitely—"
