Nora

Chapter 40:.

Justin immediately realized something was wrong when he heard someone close the door. Soon after, when he started to feel sick, he realized he had been drugged.

There were many people in New York who wanted to become his wife, and they had tried various methods one after another over the years. It was difficult for him to protect himself from all of them. During a moment of neglect half a year ago, someone had also successfully drugged him with the most potent drug in the world.

However, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, so his physical condition was stronger than most. Thus, he had stubbornly managed to suppress it with his willpower.

Therefore, he was confident that this time too everything would go well.

With the door closed, he listened to the sound of splashing water coming from the bathroom, simply sat down on the couch, intending to see what exactly that woman was planning to do.

To be honest, he didn’t quite understand her.

She communicated frequently with Pete and even allowed him to call her mom. It made sense that she intended to use her son to get close to him, and yet every time she confronted him, she adopted an indifferent attitude. It almost made him think that he was really misunderstanding her.

But in the end, tonight she colluded with her son, first drugging him and then sending him a message asking him to come down. And now, they were both locked in here. Was she finally intending to go all the way and have the final showdown with him?

For some reason, she was actually kind of looking forward to it.

Just as she thought that, the bathroom door opened and a woman stepped out surrounded by fog and wetness. Through the door, the first thing he saw was a pair of dainty feet.

Her feet were bare, her toes were round and just right. They looked a little pretty.

Justin felt his mouth go dry. The desire he had been repressing surged a little.

Next, he saw her slender ankles with her nice, straight calves. The door swung aside and the woman stood, wrapped in a white bath towel.

Perhaps because she had just emerged from a hot bath, her cheeks were flushed and her hair damp. They clung to her shoulders, fine and beautiful, as drops of water slid down from her face to her collarbones, before continuing down and hiding in the bath towel….

At that instant, she felt a sudden surge of heat in her lower abdomen, which made her eyebrows furrow. He felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing to a certain place.

He clenched his fists and lost a little control for a moment.

His abnormal behavior also entered Nora’s eyes.

The cheeks of the man on the couch were abnormally flushed and his deep-set eyes were tinged with desire. He seemed a little less cold and distant than usual, and the mole at the corner of his eye gave him a charm he didn’t usually have. Did the sight of him, slumped on the couch, really give off a sense of attraction?

Nora frowned and asked, “Why are you here?”

She had just spoken when the man on the couch abruptly lunged toward her. The enormous force pushed her directly against the back wall.

Then, she stifled her voice and said, “Since Miss Smith has taken a bath and is showing so much enthusiasm, then I…”

Before he finished, he had already lowered his head and started kissing her neck. His scalding breath made Nora shiver.

The man’s dominant pheromones entered her nose with force. Since he was very tall and had come toward her, his back was slightly arched as he bent over.

An indescribable heat permeated her entire body, making her mouth gradually feel dry and hot.

As a doctor, she understood something instantly.

She tried to push the man away, but found he was too strong. He was still kissing her neck in a messy way. Nora suddenly raised her right knee and attacked the most delicate part of the man.

However, the man’s large, warm hands grasped her ankles the next moment. His voice was hoarse and he looked puzzled as he asked, “What is the meaning of this?”

Nora snorted coldly. She leaped nimbly into the air and gave him a roundhouse kick with her left leg.

Boom!

Justin reached out and blocked the blow.

Nora came at him again with a punch.

Feeling the strong momentum of her fist towards him, Justin spun around and ducked. The woman’s other fist came toward him with a hiss, grazing his ear.

What speed!

In the blink of an eye, they both stepped back after exchanging a few blows and putting distance between them.

Nora frowned. In her cat-like eyes was a disguised rage. She was about to say something when the bath towel suddenly came off and she felt a shiver run through her body.

“…”

Nora’s brain stopped working for a second. She then quickly squatted down to pick up the bath towel, only to find that it was twisted into a bundle and she couldn’t straighten up quickly.

Seeing the man glaring at her, Nora picked up the bath towel in a split second and threw it over Justin’s face.

Justin was about to grab the bath towel and take it off when he heard her shout coldly, “I won’t let you leave this room alive if you take it off!”.

Justin was shocked.

No one had ever threatened him like that in his entire life. However, the anger in the woman’s voice made him stop his movements.She? didn’t want to do it with him?

Nora took the opportunity to hastily pick up a nightgown from the side. With her back to him, she put it on as she said, “I’ve been drugged too.”

Justin, who had very keen senses, could hear the sounds. Judging by them, the other party had already put on his clothes. He took off his bath towel and looked at her with a frown. “Are you trying to say it wasn’t you?”

The corners of Nora’s lips tightened. Her gaze roamed over a certain part of his body as she replied, “Don’t get overconfident, Mr. Hunt.”

Justin was speechless.

He used the bath towel, which he held in both hands, to block her body in a seemingly casual manner as he hesitantly asked, “If it wasn’t you who did it, who was it?”

Seeing that he was no longer impulsive, Nora turned and headed for the study. “Wait a minute.”

She pulled a set of clothes out of the den and put them on. Then, she grabbed her laptop and headed for the living room.

When she saw him again, the man had already returned to the couch and sat down. Aside from his cheeks which were still a little red, he looked fine. If it weren’t for the bulge in the bath towel around his waist, the man would have looked like his usual self.

An impressed Nora secretly sighed and thought, “What a powerful self-control.”

If it weren’t for the fact that she had been taking a lot of medication since she was a child, which made her immune to most drugs, Nora would probably have lost control!

However, she had actually suppressed those distracting thoughts in just two minutes.

Justin’s deep-set eyes flickered with a dim light as he caught a glimpse of her gaze. He said, “You still have time to change your mind, Miss Smith.”

Nora was perplexed.

That man was really too sure of himself.

She said sarcastically, “I’m really not interested in you, Mr. Hunt. Even if both you and I are victims of someone’s wiles and you are standing stark naked in front of me, I will still feel nothing.”

It really wasn’t her?

Justin felt a vague sense of regret. Despite that, he showed no verbal mercy. “… It looks like you were the one who was completely naked a moment ago.”

Nora gaped.

Her face instantly tightened and she walked straight over. She placed her laptop on the table, opened it and placed it in front of him.

Justin was taken aback. “What?”

Nora said slowly, “Enter your account password and check the surveillance cameras, of course! Even if we don’t know who the person who drugged us was, I’m sure we can find out who locked the door just now.”

Seeing how secure she was, Justin became increasingly disgruntled. He tapped a few random keys and then hit the Enter key. Real-time surveillance camera images instantly appeared on the computer.

Three people were standing in the doorway.

Their faces were almost all glued to the door, apparently trying to hear what was going on inside ….
