The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 130

Moreover, Mia had paid a high price to suppress that incident. What if he pushed Nora too far and she decided to sue Mia again?

He had recently gotten closer to Leonard and was on the verge of becoming the son-in-law of the Hayes Group.

If what Mia did was exposed, he would likely be dragged down with her and earn Leonard’s disgust.

“I…”

Aaron opened his mouth, unsure of where to even begin his explanation.

Nora didn’t spare another glance at the ashen-faced Aaron. She said softly, “You can pretend you didn’t see the text, but I was serious about the breakup.”

Taking a deep breath, Nora bid farewell to the seven years she had invested.

“Goodbye, Aaron.”

With that, she walked into the hot pot restaurant first.

Nathan followed her, and the other colleagues from the station quickly trailed behind.

Soon, only the gossiping crowd and Aaron’s group were left at the entrance.

The few doctors looked at each other, and finally, they pushed the youngest intern forward to speak. “Dr. Wells… are we still having hot pot?”

As if finally jolted back to reality, Aaron didn’t dare to look at anyone. He muttered, “Sorry, I’m suddenly not feeling well. You guys go ahead and eat,” and then ran off.

Seeing him like this, his colleagues understood everything.

Some gloated, while others felt it was a pity.

And some remained indifferent. “Let’s go. Let’s hurry and eat. Our number’s been called.”

Everyone snapped back to the present and headed inside.

Nora and the others went into the largest private room in the restaurant.

After entering, Nora needed to use the restroom and excused herself.

When she came back, she found everyone looking at her with concern.

Nora was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

Nora was baffled.

“After seven years, you wouldn’t have wanted to break up unless he was a complete and utter scumbag, right, Dr. Hayes?”

Nora said, “Well, that’s true, but…”

“You don’t have to explain. We all get it.”

Nora fell silent.

Wait, what did they all get?

“It’s okay, Dr. Hayes! Out with the old, in with the new! Just look at the guy next to you! Our Nathan is a great catch! He was protecting you the whole time, giving off such a strong sense of security. I can guarantee you, our Nathan is definitely not a scumbag!”

“Exactly! Dr. Hayes, you should find someone better than that jerk. That’ll really show him!”

Nora was speechless.

Was this a celebratory dinner or a matchmaking session? Did anyone even remember?
