The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 77

“Nora.”

Leonard’s voice pulled Nora’s attention back.

“Is it too much to ask for you to show your father a little respect?”

Nora looked away, her voice flat. “My father died a long time ago.”

Leonard started to speak again, but Nora cut him off. “If this is all you want to talk about, then there’s no need for us to continue this conversation.”

Leonard pressed his lips together and sighed. “Let’s go to the room first. I’ve ordered a lot of your favorite dishes.”

The attempt to curry favor in Leonard’s words was obvious, but Nora remained unmoved.

From the moment this man had thrown her and her mother out, Nora’s heart had grown cold toward him. The word “father” had vanished from her world.

Besides, Nora knew him too well. He would never humble himself unless there was something in it for him. The more earnest he acted, the more it proved he was up to something.

Inside the private room, Nora chose a seat as far from Leonard as possible.

Glancing at the dishes on the table, her eyes filled with mockery.

Leonard’s heart skipped a beat. He asked cautiously, “What’s wrong?”

Nora didn’t bother to hide her disgust for him. “This is what you call my favorite food?”

Leonard looked at the seafood feast on the table and smiled smugly. “Isn’t it? I remember you used to love seafood.”

“One year, you even threw a tantrum because you wanted to eat king crab. You were upset with me for a whole month because I didn’t take you. That time—”

Leonard trailed off as he spoke.

Nora’s expression grew colder and colder.

Leonard finally remembered that the protagonist of the king crab incident was Mia, not Nora.

Nora had never liked seafood, not even as a child.

“Nora, Dad’s getting old, so I don’t remember a lot of things clearly.”
