The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 131

“Actually, I’m getting mar—”

They were, after all, colleagues from the same task force.

Since everyone already knew about the breakup, Nora felt she should also give them a heads-up about her sudden marriage plans.

But before she could finish, Nathan cut her off with a sharp, “What’s all the fuss about?”

Nathan’s words clearly carried more weight than hers.

The previously boisterous group fell silent at once.

They all picked up their menus, pretending to study them intently.

You’d never guess that just moments before, they were all acting like they wanted to switch careers and become matchmakers.

Nora couldn’t help but let the corners of her mouth lift in a small smile.

She had expected to feel disgusted after being wrongly blamed by a cheating scumbag like Aaron.

But after all this lighthearted teasing, any negative feelings she had were completely gone.

“Aren’t you going to order?”

Nathan’s question came from her side. Nora turned to look at him and nodded gently. “I am.”

Nathan immediately handed her the menu and a pencil.

“Order whatever you want. Don’t hold back.”

Nora smiled faintly. “Alright.”

The meal left everyone feeling satisfied.

Solving a serial murder case was reason enough to celebrate.

Adding to that the great news of Nora getting rid of a scumbag, the group kept cheering that it was a double celebration.”

Nora got caught up in the cheerful atmosphere and had a little to drink herself.

Fortunately, she had a high tolerance. Her head felt a bit fuzzy, but she wasn’t drunk.

Nathan, however, had it much worse. As the new captain, and given his usual serious demeanor, everyone seized the opportunity to relentlessly offer him drinks.

He didn’t seem completely drunk, but he became even more silent than before.

After paying the bill, he sat there like a statue.

The veteran detective was older and couldn’t stay up late. After a few more words of caution, he got into his wife’s car and left the BBQ restaurant.

Nora’s driver was a few minutes late.

After a call confirming he was almost there, Nora walked over to Nathan.

She was hesitating whether to help him up herself or wait for the driver when Nathan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open.

“Are we leaving?”

Nora’s eyes widened. “You’re not drunk?”

Nathan didn’t answer her question, just stared at her and asked again, “Are we leaving?”

Nora was confused.

Realizing something, she waved her hand in front of his face.

Nathan’s eyes didn’t even flicker. He showed no reaction to her movement.

The driver saw this and chuckled. “Miss, don’t bother waving. Your boyfriend is dead drunk.”
