The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 101

It took Nora a long moment to realize Nathan was responding to the question she had asked back at the textile factory.

“So you really were testing me?”

Nora blinked, looking at the man in front of her.

She couldn’t understand why.

If Nathan didn’t trust her, he could have just not hired her.

“You actually believed that?”

Nathan chuckled and reached out, his knuckles grazing her forehead in a brief, tender touch. "Why are you so naive?"

The gesture was familiar and intimate.

Nora could even feel that Nathan had deliberately softened the force of the flick.

It was less of a flick and more of a light tap.

She reflexively reached up to rub the spot, and Nathan’s expression immediately grew tense. “Did that hurt?”

That tone…

Nora took a step back, putting some distance between them.

Not daring to meet his eyes, she sighed and said, “Nathan.”

“Hm?”

The man’s voice was deep and husky.

A shiver ran down Nora’s spine at the sound of his low, gravelly voice. She bit her lip and said, “Although I’ve decided to break up with my boyfriend…”

“I’m still a woman who’s about to get married, Nathan. I don’t think a gesture like that is appropriate for our relationship.”

Nathan’s fingers stiffened.

From her angle, Nora could see the veins standing out on the back of his hand.

She didn’t dare look up to see his expression, but she didn’t regret what she’d said.

The moment she discovered the truth, it was over between her and Aaron in her heart.

But she hadn’t forgotten that she had also agreed to another marriage.

She had been too busy with the case to deal with these loose ends, but now that one case was closed, she wanted to make things clear with Nathan.

She wasn't the type to play the field, and she didn’t want Nathan to get the wrong idea. After all, that would be incredibly unfair to him.

“Is that so?”

After a long wait, Nathan finally responded.

Nora dared to look up at him.

The man’s gaze was deep, his pupils reflecting her tiny figure.
