Book 2 : She Becomes Glamorous After the Engagement

Chapter 43

Chapter 737: Nora VS Justin: Who’s The Winner?

Nora was not a little girl anymore. In fact, she had already given birth to three children. She might not have ever really gone into “battle” with a clear mind, but even if she had never actually done it for real, it wasn’t like she was unaware of the process.

Moreover, the 25-year-old majored in medicine and practically knew the structure of the human body inside out. As such, she was even more familiar than most with regard to the matter.

At the bottom of it all, it was nothing but one’s physiology making mischief. Justin’s pheromones were just being excessively released… Ahem, never mind, she must be over-thinking it.

While Nora’s imagination was running wild, the man’s large hand had started wandering all over her body.

Nora’s nerves—which had always been dull and dense-turned sensitive at this moment. Although she was very sleepy, her mind became exceptionally excited.

In the dark.

She stared at Justin-the man had already flipped the quilt open and slipped under the covers.

Because the children were present, his movements were very light. The two shared a quilt, and his burning hot body gradually warmed Nora’s slightly cold one.

A sense of restlessness slowly spread throughout her entire body.

Seeing that she wasn’t rejecting him, the man lowered his head and kissed her on the lips gently. After giving her a peck on the lips, seeing that she still wasn’t responding, the man pecked her on the lips a second time, then the third time… until Nora, who found his kisses ticklish, parted her lips and bit his lip.

Justin took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.

He barged into her territory savagely and went on a rampage. In this instant, the man looked totally different from his usual self.

This was the first time Nora was feeling how strong the man was, as well as also the first time she was feeling the terrifying aura around him that seemed to want to swallow her whole.

Her cheeks gradually turned scarlet during the kiss. As her eyes remained closed, Justin gradually took control of the rhythm. Then… The man’s callused fingertips roughly rubbed against her skin. Wherever he touched, it was as though an electric current was going through her, giving her a tingly and relaxed feeling

At some point in time, her pajamas had already come off…

The two finally faced each other without anything in between them.

In the dimly lit room, both Justin and Nora’s breathing had become heavy.

The two stared into each other’s eyes. At last, they had come to the last stage…

Justin stared at her, his voice a little hoarse. “Nora, are you ready?”.

Nora kept quiet for a while. Then, she answered, “Yeah.”

After she uttered the word, when Justin was about to take the last step, a young voice suddenly reached them.

Xander asked, “What are Daddy and Mommy doing?”

Cherry replied, “They are probably sparring. Daddy asked Mommy if she’s ready, right? So they are probably about to fight each other! After all, Mommy has always wanted to beat Daddy in a fight!”

“Huh? Can Mommy beat Daddy? Shall we help?”

“I don’t think so, both of them are experts. It’s just that I don’t know who is stronger… Xander, let’s make a bet, whoever loses will play as support in the game! I’ll bet on Mommy!”

“Then I’ll bet on Daddy!”

Cherry gave Pete, who was sleeping in the middle, a push. She asked, “Pete, who are you gonna bet on?”

Pete: “…”

He didn’t speak. After two seconds of silence in the room, Cherry spoke again. “Pete?”

Pete replied, “I’m asleep.”

Among the three little fellows, Cherry knew nothing about the relationship between men and women, and even often pretended to be a boy for fun. Xander was even more uninformed about such things. Although he had a high IQ and picked up things very quickly, he had ultimately still been living in and grown up in a basement all this time, so he didn’t understand anything at all.

Only Pete vaguely understood something. Even so, he didn’t quite understand either. All he knew was that his parents had to sleep together before they could have children… As to how exactly the process went, he didn’t quite understand.

But it was as clear as day that Daddy and Mommy were making younger siblings for them at the moment!

So, what were those two idiots disrupting them for?

How was anyone supposed to fight under the covers? They wouldn’t be able to move with ease at all, okay?!

Pete heaved a deep sigh inwardly. Before he could figure things out, Cherry said, “Quit bluffing me, Pete. How would you be able to talk if you’re asleep? Who are you gonna bet on? Bet on Mommy! Mommy is the most powerful!”

Pete: “…”

He silently opened his eyes, turned his head along with Cherry and Xander, and looked at Nora and Justin, who were sharing a quilt.

Suddenly, Cherry flipped open her quilt and said, “Mommy, how’s the fight with Daddy going? I’ll come over and help you!”

As she spoke, she made a move to burrow under Nora’s covers.

“Stop!”

Fortunately, Nora stopped her in time. She said, “We’ll be done right away. Just give us a moment.”

Cherry’s big eyes were opened wide as she looked at Nora. She replied obediently, “Okie-dokie!”

Thus, the couple under the covers started to move, making rustling sounds as they did. Piece by piece, they put their clothes back on the same way they took them off just now.

After they were dressed, Nora shot a glare at Justin.

Her cheeks were crimson, and she felt like she had broken out in a cold sweat from fright!

Then, she found her actions just now simply too absurd. What was she doing with Justin when the children were sleeping right next to them?!

In contrast, Justin the scumbag looked absolutely calm and collected as he flipped the quilt open and got out of bed.

Cherry looked at them. “Who won?”

Justin chuckled. “Your mom did.”

“Yay!”

Cherry cheered with a grin and looked at Xander excitedly. She said, “You’ll have to play as support tomorrow-” Although the support role was important, the little fellows all preferred to lead and play as heroes instead. Thus, Xander replied very reluctantly, “Alright, I guess.”

After the three of them finished speaking, they all looked at Nora again. “Mommy, Daddy, are you guys gonna continue fighting?”

Nora buried her head into the covers and said in a muffled voice, “No, we’re not. Go to sleep!”

Cherry also lay down obediently. “Okie-dokie! Mommy, if you guys fight again, be sure to inform us so that we can watch, okie-?”

Xander also hurriedly said, “Yeah! I wanna win next time! Daddy, fight harder next time!”

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.”

Justin’s breathing suddenly turned heavy.

To be honest, his level of desire in this respect had always been very low. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been single for so many years. After all, with a position like his, if he really had such needs, there was a long line of women waiting for him.

However, he wasn’t interested in any of them.

Nora was the only one he had taken a fancy to.

This was especially the case when the woman was going back and forth right in front of him. Coupled with how he had almost swallowed her down, bones and all, the night before, the itch in his heart had become even harder to bear.

He couldn’t work at all that day. When he looked at the reports, all that flashed in his mind was the way she had looked the night before.

He could even feel the touch of her skin lingering on his palm… Justin felt that he would go crazy if he held back any longer.

But just as he started striding forward, another knock came from the door. Then, Xander called out, “Daddy, are you about to fight with Mommy? Come on, you must win today! I don’t wanna play as support anymore!”

Justin’s momentum immediately weakened.

“Pft.”

Seeing his reaction, at last, Nora couldn’t hold back anymore. She couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Her laughter made Justin’s dark pupils turn even more resentful.

The aggression in the man’s eyes slowly dissipated, ultimately turning into a look of resignation.

Xander had just joined the family, so he mustn’t keep the boy outside.If he did,it would cause negative thoughts to form in the child.

He went out and started to comfort Xander.

Justin sat on the sofa dejectedly.As he watched the three little fellows playing in front of him,all he could feel was dejection and a sense of defeat.

He had never felt this way even when he encountered troubles in business.

When he was sighing in silence,he saw Nora coming down the stairs with a coat on.

When Cherry saw her, she asked, “Mommy, are you going out to work?”

“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.

Chapter 738: Justin Is Short of Money?

On this day, on the outskirts of New York,an amorous and suggestive atmosphere filled Nora’s entire villa.

A full and satisfied Mr. Hunt held Nora in his arms,his fingers stroking her back again and again.On his countenance was a look of contentment that had never been there before.

His dark eyes were so deep and bottomless that no one would dare to look into them.When one glanced at them,it was as if they were looking at the deep and boundless starry sky. The man asked hoarsely, “Nora,are you sleepy?”

Nora was a little tired, though for once,she was surprisingly not very sleepy.She pushed Justin away and got up. The quilt slid down her fair skin.

She was very fair,which made the numerous marks and love-bites on her body look a little alarming as if she had been abused.At the sight, the look in Justin’s eyes deepened again.

However, Nora quickly put on her clothes.She pulled her hair behind her and said, “I’m not sleepy.Let’s go back.”

Justin sighed silently and leaned against the headboard.In this instant,he really felt like having a post-lovemaking cigarette,but as a doctor,Nora would undoubtedly hate the smell of cigarette smoke,so he suppressed the urge and said, “I don’t feel like leaving.”

Nora ignored him and continued to put on her clothes.After she was dressed,she started to walk out. “Then I will go first.You can go home later.”

Justin: “…”

Why did it feel like the two of them were having some kind of clandestine affair?To the extent that they had to go home at different timings to avoid suspicion?

The corners of his lips spasmed as he flipped the quilt aside and stood up as well.

Nora had already gotten dressed in a clean and swift manner and was walking toward the exit. Her legs were still a little soft.

When she thought of the position they had taken just now,she silently took a deep breath.From the looks of it,it seemed that she should exercise more in the future and stop slacking off.She hadn’t expected it to be this tiring!

On the other hand,true to what Quinn had said, it was apparent that Justin had indeed been training very diligently every day.Thus,his physical fitness was obviously better than hers.

That guy had also exhausted a lot of his stamina just now,yet he looked perfectly fine and was even in good spirits.

Thinking of this,Nora pursed her lips.

Were the two of them really going to waste so much energy on such unnecessary competition against each other,and end up exhausting each other out?

She sighed silently and quickened her pace,for fear that staying there would make her develop thoughts of reducing her sleeping time by half an hour for exercise.

Justin put on his pajamas.He was planning to chat with Nora for a while,but the sound of the door closing instead came from the door.Then,the car started outside. When he walked over to the balcony,he saw that Nora had already slipped away in the car.

Justin: “….”

He sighed silently again.

At this time,his cell phone rang-it was Lawrence.

“Boss, everything has been settled.I need you to put on a show and play along with the performance now.”

The situation with the Hunt Corporation shares was at a critical juncture,and Herman was very actively running around in the company at the moment.It probably wouldn’t be very appropriate for Justin to behave too calmly at this time.

Lawrence said, “I bought you an air ticket for a flight tonight. Would you like to go abroad for a vacation for the time being?”

Justin: “?”

He raised his eyebrows, knowing what Lawrence meant.

Justin was one of the people standing at the pinnacle of the country. Now that he had encountered a problem, he would undoubtedly have to seek help from some of his foreign business partners. Lawrence was asking him to pretend to go overseas to seek help so that they could bluff Herman and a few certain people among the Hunt's.

This was to prevent some people,who knew him too well and were apprehensive of his mighty reputation,from becoming too scared to come out and make trouble upon seeing his overly-calm reaction.If that happened,how was he going to nab all of them in one fell swoop?

But…

Justin coughed. “Okay, get Sean to impersonate me and leave the country.”

Lawrence was taken aback. “Would that really work?”

Justin nodded. “Yeah, we’ll do just that.”

By the time he said that, he had already gone downstairs.He went to the kitchen and took a look,upon which he found that the villa was obviously frequently cleaned.

However,there was nothing to eat in the fridge.

Thus,he said, “Buy some food and send it here.”

Then,he gave Lawrence the address.

Lawrence asked, “Mr. Hunt,are you hiding a secret lover?”

Hiding a secret lover?

Justin, who found his words interesting, smiled and chuckled. “Just do as I say and send it over.What are you asking so much nonsense for?”

“Okay.”

Half an hour later, Lawrence entered the villa with a bag of food in his hand.Then,he took a look around the area.Before he left,he even asked, “Does Ms. Smith know that you’re staying here?”

Justin kicked him out the door.

After Nora returned to the Hunt's,she played with the three kids for a while.

Soon,it got dark outside and it was time for dinner.However, Justin didn’t come back.

Nora picked up her cell phone to send him a text message and ask about it.But in the end, before she could send the message,Brenda walked into the house.

As soon as she entered, she asked solemnly, “Nora,tell me the truth, is Justin in need of money?”

Nora raised her eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”

While she spoke,she typed a few words on the phone and sent a message out: “Aren’t you coming back for dinner?”

Brenda looked right and left before she finally leaned towards her. “Nora,I just got the news that Justin has gone abroad to raise money!He plans to buy 5% of the company’s shares at a high price! But he actually doesn’t have any money left. Once news of this spreads,it will definitely throw people into a panic!”

Nora: “?”

Justin needed money?

Then why didn’t he say so?Although she was very poor and only had 75 million dollars,at least the Smith's could produce billions of dollars at any time without a problem.

While she was thinking about it, Cherry asked, “Is Daddy very short of money?”

Brenda looked at her and sighed. “Seems that way.”

Cherry said, “Then why don’t I ask my grandaunt for some money for Daddy?My grandaunt can lend quite a few hundred!”

Brenda propped her chin on her hands. “What’s the use of a few hundred?”

“Aunt Brenda,do you know what I mean by a few ‘hundred’?”

“Hundreds of thousands of dollars? But a few hundred thousand dollars won’t be enough either.I already have a few hundred thousand dollars here.I have been playing too hard all these years,and on top of that,I like to shop a lot…Some time ago,I bought around a hundred handbags during Black Friday sales…There’s still time for me to return them. Nora,why don’t you lend me some money? So that I can pay the balance and return them to save the money for Justin instead.”

While Brenda was prattling away,Cherry sighed silently and said, “My grandaunt’s money comes hundreds of millions of dollars.”

Brenda: “…”

Flabbergasted,she stared at Cherry for a while. Then,she sighed. “Cherry,you mustn’t brag like that.Whose company has hundreds of millions of working capital?!”

After she spoke,she looked at Nora again. “Nora,I called Justin just now,but he has already switched off his phone.He’s on the plane right now,so we won’t be able to contact him.”

As she spoke, Nora’s cell phone vibrated and Justin’s text message reached her: “I won’t be able to come back for the next few days.I’m someone who’s supposed to be on a plane to another country right now.”

Nora: “…”

She blinked and looked at Brenda again. “Did you say that Justin is on a plane?”

Chapter 739: Catching The Adulterous Couple?

Brenda lowered her head and took a glance. “Yeah,he should be on the plane right now. Nora,if Justin calls you after the plane lands, tell him that…If he needs me to sacrifice myself and enter a political marriage for his sake,just say the word.”

Nora: “…”

Brenda touched her face,her lips curling up into a charming smile. “After all, given my looks,I’m still worth a bit of money,aren’t I?”

“Okay.”

With her head lowered, Nora continued to send messages to Justin: ‘So,where are you now?’

Justin sent her a set of GPS coordinates.

Before Nora even opened them,she realized that those were the coordinates for the villa she’d taken him to earlier that day.

Nora: “…”

The corners of her lips spasmed and she heard Brenda asking, “Nora, who are you messaging?”

“No one in particular.” Nora was not a very good liar,so she calmly changed the subject. “Who do you want to marry?”

Brenda became a little troubled at once. “I haven’t made up my mind yet.”

Nora thought that she didn’t want to get married,so she was about to talk her out of it when the woman sighed and said, “The York boy is a little puppy while the one from the Shaws is a little wolfhound.As for the Smith's,we already have you,so I’m not needed there anymore. Otherwise,the Smith boys would also suffice since they are pretty good-looking.What a real dilemma this is!”

The corners of Nora’s lips spasmed.Next to her,Cherry echoed Brenda. “Yeah,Aunt Brenda,what a real dilemma this is! It’s so hard to choose!Can’t you marry all of them? Can’t a woman marry several men?”

Brenda: “?”

Nora: “?”

“Pft!”

Brenda couldn’t help but laugh. “Cherry,what a wonderful idea you have! I am saving money right now so that I can take care of many young men in the future!”

Cherry’s eyes widened. “I see!Once you have money,you can take care of many young men at once!”

“….”

Nora felt that there was a high chance Brenda would lead the little girl astray if she stayed here any longer,so she immediately started pushing Brenda towards the door. “Okay,okay,hurry up and go out!”

After speaking,she came back and had dinner with the three children.

At night.

Nora slept with the three children.For once, though,she actually had insomnia after the children fell asleep.She picked up her cell phone and saw Justin had sent her a message: “The food abroad is pretty good, do you want some? I’ll treat you to lunch tomorrow?”

Then came a photo he sent.

It was a photo of a steak.

Nora had never cared much about what she ate,but when she saw the photo,she actually wanted to eat it.

She replied: ‘Did you cook that?’

‘Yes.So,is Ms. Smith willing to come over and have a taste tomorrow?’

Nora smiled and replied: ‘Depends on whether I have time tomorrow.’

Despite saying that,she put down her phone and turned to look at the three babies who were on the same bed as her.

No matter how naughty the three little fellows were when they were awake,they would always be cute and innocent once they were asleep.All of them were sprawled on the bed with their arms and legs spread out.The sight of them lined up in a row made one feel exceptionally blissful.

Nora kissed Xander’s cheek before she finally lay down.

The night passed peacefully.

Soon,it was dawn. When Nora woke up,the three little fellows had already gotten dressed and gone downstairs to play.

Since Xander’s return, Cherry had stopped going to kindergarten. The three of them played together every day.

In order to have Xander relax and integrate into the family as soon as possible,neither Nora nor Justin had forced her.After all,Cherry was the family’s bundle of joy.

After breakfast,Nora left the house and headed to the suburban villa.

In the villa,she had lunch with Justin and then took a nap.Nora didn’t leave the villa until 5PM when she got ready to go home and have dinner with the children.

She couldn’t wake up in the morning,so she didn’t have breakfast with the children.

Since she was with Justin for lunch,then she would definitely have to be with the children at night.

For two days in a row, that was how Nora spent her time.

This continued until the third day,when she went out as usual at noon.

When her car disappeared from the parking lot,Lauren held Mrs.Hunt’s arm and walked out of the house with Iris.The three of them looked into the distance.Then,they got into the car and instructed the chauffeur, “Follow her!”

The chauffeur followed Nora to the suburban villa.

The chauffeur stopped the car at the side of the road a distance away. From there,they could smell a fragrance coming from the villa after Nora drove in,as if the occupants were cooking.

Mrs.Hunt was pulling a very long face.

Lauren paused. Then, she sneered and said, “Here I was,thinking that the relationship between Ms.Smith and Justin was really that good!Haha,Justin has only been abroad for two days,yet she is already lonely?To think she has found another man outside!”

Iris said, “No,Nora would never do that. She is not that kind of a person.”

“If not,then can you tell me who it is inside?” Lauren spoke aggressively. “Surely it can’t possibly be Justin, right?Are you saying that the great president of the company is cooking for someone else in there?And being kept hidden like a secret lover? I’ve already checked—this villa belongs to the Smith's! In other words,this villa is Nora Smith’s!”

Iris: “…”

Mrs. Hunt’s expression turned even darker. “The audacity of her! I didn’t think that Nora would actually do something like this!She has utterly shamed the Smith's and the Hunt's!”

After she spoke,she looked straight at the chauffeur and instructed, “Drive over! I want to see which part about the man inside is better than Justin that she would actually abandon Justin and look for someone else outside!”

The chauffeur: “…”

Iris rejected the order. “This is Nora’s privacy. It’s not appropriate for us to go over and disrupt their peace right now!”

Lauren lowered her head and said, “Iris, what do you mean by that?We are doing this all for Justin’s sake! I have already noticed during the past few days that she goes out at a fixed time every day.Additionally,when she comes back,her face is visibly rosy.Hah,

has she become bored with Justin just because he doesn’t have money anymore? Now,that won’t do,the Hunt's mustn’t have a daughter-in-law like that!”

Her words brainwashed Mrs. Hunt even further. She immediately said, “Yes,go in at once and see who exactly Nora is fooling around with! The Hunt's will never tolerate such a daughter-in-law!!”
