The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 75

Aaron stared at his empty hand and instantly bristled.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

Aaron glared at Nathan. "Nora is my girlfriend!"

Nathan raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over Aaron and Mia. "Is she? I thought you and the lady behind you were a couple."

"After all, it seemed like you were ganging up on Nora just now."

"I—" Aaron looked as if he'd been slapped, his eyes darting away as he guiltily clenched his fists.

"And who might this be?"

Mia's eyes were full of awe.

As the heiress of the Hayes Group, she had seen countless men.

The gentle, the cute, the cool, the quirky, the aloof, the subservient.

It was safe to say there wasn't a type she hadn't encountered.

But even with her vast experience, Mia had to admit that the man before her was in a league of his own.

He was more outstanding than any man she had ever met.

Especially that face and that physique.

If she were to post a picture of him in her group chat with other heiresses, someone would probably offer a sky-high price just to spend one night with him.

"He’s just some new detective they brought into the department." Although Aaron was proud and arrogant, he wasn't hopelessly stupid.

After sensing something was off about Nathan, he had immediately used his connections to investigate.

Upon learning that Nathan was just a detective transferred back from the Arvendale Region, he had stopped paying him any mind.

But he never expected this man's relationship with Nora to have become so close.

"Nora, come here." Aaron's face was grim. At that moment, his male pride made him completely ignore Mia's presence, his only desire to win this battle against Nathan.

Nora gave Aaron a bewildered look.

Mia's eyes were red. "I think I twisted my ankle..."

Aaron frowned. "How did you twist it just standing there?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance back at Nora.

He thought, if Nora just said the word, he would absolutely ditch Mia and go to her.

Unfortunately, Nora didn't even spare him a glance, completely engrossed in her conversation with Nathan.

Aaron's fists clenched tightly. "Nora!"

He was about to angrily chase after her when Mia called out again, "Aaron!"

Aaron's back stiffened.

He turned around stiffly to meet Mia's scrutinizing gaze. Feeling as if he'd been pricked by something, he walked quickly toward her. "Sorry, let me help you rest for a bit."

Mia stroked Aaron's chin as if petting a cat or a dog, allowing him to sweep her up into his arms. Her voice was syrupy sweet but laced with an icy warning, "Aaron, you'd better be clear in your head about who's more important: me or Nora."
