The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 70

For a man like that to be trying to steal someone’s girlfriend…

It was simply mind-boggling.

“Come on, knock it off. The captain is probably just paying more attention to Dr. Hayes because she’s a new recruit he personally invited. Let’s keep our minds out of the gutter and not ruin his reputation.”

“Really?”

The person who said it was at a loss for words.

“See? Even you don’t believe it!”

“So what’s the captain’s deal? Is he really trying to pursue Dr. Hayes?”

“Hey, do you think Dr. Hayes knows about this?”

When it came to gossip, the team couldn't contain their curiosity.

Each one of them wanted to unravel the mystery, and the conversation grew lively.

In the end, it was an old veteran detective who stepped in to put a stop to it, bringing the gossip session to a close.

Colin, looking lost, picked up his phone. He wanted to text Nora but felt he had no right to.

“Colin, I’m heading to the flower shop the captain mentioned. Want to come?” a colleague invited.

Colin took a deep breath, pushing all the distracting thoughts from his mind. “Yeah, okay.”

Nora had no idea she had become the subject of the task force’s gossip.

She saw Nathan get into the elevator and followed him in, confused. “Where are we going?”

Nathan pressed a floor button. “To see Mr. Adams.”

Nora’s eyes widened.

“See Mr. Adams?”

Did asking for time off require such a grand gesture?

Seeing her shocked expression, Nathan’s fingers twitched.

“There’s something we need to discuss.”

Nora just said, “Oh.”

She lowered her head, but something still felt off.

He had something to discuss with Mr. Adams.
