Chapter 21: The Operation!
The expression of Justin, who wasn’t interested in the movie, instantly darkened after he saw what she had done.
Instead of feeding her own daughter, she was feeding his son.
If even something like this wasn’t her attempt at trying to please him and pursue him, then how else was he supposed to interpret her actions?!
Upon sensing a cold aura coming from the side, Nora slowly opened her eyes and looked over.
When confronted with Justin’s deep and dark eyes, which also had a bit of a sharp look in them, she was taken aback for a moment.
Was she dreaming?
Otherwise, why was she seeing Justin in the movie theater?
Her sleepiness disappeared instantly.
She lowered her eyes lazily and wondered, Is this a coincidence? Or is Justin here because he suspects that I’m Anti and has come to sound me out?
Things had gotten troublesome.
She wanted to pretend that she didn’t see him, but her instincts told her that the man seemed to still be staring at her at the moment. On top of that, he had a rather hostile look in his eyes.
Nora turned to the side and gave a perfunctory greeting. “What a coincidence, Mr. Hunt.”
A coincidence?
The look on Justin’s face turned darker. “Never mind that we’re watching the same movie, but even our seats just so happen to be next to each other’s? What a coincidence, indeed!”
Nora was puzzled.
Why did he sound so sarcastic?
She frowned. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Hunt?”
Justin replied coldly, “I told you, I hate it when people try to approach me by using my son. Did you forget what I said, Miss Smith?”
Nora was astonished.
He was misunderstanding her again and again. Had he had enough yet?
Nora slowly retracted her gaze and looked in front of her seriously. She said, “You are indeed an attractive man, Mr. Hunt, but you shouldn’t be too narcissistic, either. Men like you who look prettier than women aren’t my type.”
Justin sneered, “Your actions are so blatant, Miss Smith, yet you’re still trying to hide your intentions? Let me make things clear—I’m not interested in you. If you have the time to seduce me, why don’t you think about how to cure your aunt’s illness instead?”
His words angered Nora. That man must be sick in the head! She said coldly, “Don’t worry, you needn’t bother yourself with my aunt’s illness at all!”
When he heard how she glossed over the topic, Justin became even angrier. He was about to retort when the moviegoer with their children seated in the row in front of them suddenly turned around and snapped, “Hey, we’re in the middle of a movie here. Can the two of you refrain from quarreling with your other halves in here?!”
Justin was bewildered.
Nora was bewildered.
The movie theater was pitch-dark. Justin didn’t know why, but he didn’t immediately feel any disgust when someone else misunderstood him and Nora as a married couple. Instead, a dazed feeling, not easily detectable, arose in him.
The moviegoer added earnestly, “Can’t the two of you, as husband and wife, control yourselves a little better in front of the children? You’re scaring them!”
Nora looked at where the moviegoer was pointing and looked down to see Cherry who was sitting there with a mask on and only her eyes exposed.
Justin bent over and picked her up. He said with displeasure, “This is the last time I’m warning you, Miss Smith. The next time I see you approaching my son, I’m not holding back!”
He strode away right after saying that.
Nora was bewildered.
She glanced at the other side, finding herself mystified when she saw Pete there. It seemed like her hand had gone the other side instead when she was feeding Cherry just now, right?
