The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 312

His mind was full of images of the past—Nora maintaining a cool demeanor while running experiments, and Nora blushing on their dates.

The most vivid memory was the last time he had confessed to her, the moment she finally nodded and agreed.

He had been so stunned he blurted out, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Could you repeat it?"

Nora's face had instantly flushed a deep red.

Like the morning sun.

So dazzling that he couldn't tear his eyes away from her.

Aaron had thought that, given her personality, she would never say it a second time.

To his surprise, she nodded and, with a trembling but resolute voice, said, "I said, I want to be with you."

"Aaron, I like you too."

At that moment, it felt like countless fireworks had exploded in his heart.

Without exaggeration, it was the happiest moment of his life.

Even getting accepted into his dream school after years of grueling study hadn't given him that kind of thrill.

After all, he had always been a top student; getting in was expected.

Studying was a fair game. You put in the effort, and the grades reflected it.

But Nora wasn't like that.

She was aloof and mysterious.

Every move she made felt like a story waiting to be uncovered.

People couldn't help but want to get closer.

And she had a magnetic pull—once you drew near, you could never look away.

Aaron had been drawn by her looks at first, but during his pursuit, he had fallen deeper and deeper.

Her constant refusals only made him treat her like a challenge.

But he didn't dare show it. He could only try to salvage the situation.

"Nora, you really should have told me earlier. I would never have done anything to hurt you."

Listening to his words, Nora's stomach churned.

Sometimes, watching a scumbag perform was just exhausting.

She began to regret coming here.

After watching Leonard's act, she now had to endure Aaron's. Was she some kind of talent scout? Why was she subjecting her eyes to this garbage?

"Aaron, what is that supposed to mean?"

Fortunately, Mia was still in the room.

Nora didn't even need to speak; Mia had already aimed her fury squarely at Aaron.

"So, you only wanted to be with me because of my status as a Hayes heiress?"
