Tasting Nora-Pleasing Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 345

345–Everyone Wants Nora 

Nash: 

I had been restless ever since I returned home. It had been a week, and Nora hadn’t answered any of my calls—or anyone else’s, for that matter. It was as if she had truly moved on. 

“I can’t believe this,” I muttered, clenching my fists on the table as I watched everyone gather for dinner. But, in truth, we were planning to have a serious talk about her. 

“I’m guessing you haven’t been able to connect with her either,” Dad sighed, rubbing his face in his hands. 

“Any news of Nora?” Silas turned to Ryker and Cain, who both stared at the table, offering nothing but silence. They shook their heads, confirming they hadn’t heard from her either. 

“I’m sure she’s angry,” I recalled the way she had been talking to Brody the last time I called. Even though she sounded content with her new life, not even thinking about us, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. It sounded like an act, and if it wasn’t, I will make it one. 

“Of course, she’s not going to contact us. Do you remember how we kicked her out?” Silas groaned, making me lower my head, guilt creeping

We had to buy new furniture and renovate the mansion—just like we do every time this happens. 

“And she was terrified of Ryker. Can you imagine how many times she must have panicked in those months?” Dad continued, and Ryker nodded. solemnly. 

“She’s so fragile. It could have been deadly for her,” Ryker’s words made me shift uncomfortably in my seat. I couldn’t stop thinking about what he had said after his arrest when he confessed to killing Mia. The way he had spoken about Nora had left us speechless. 

Ryker is my brother, someone I’ve always loved, but hearing him say those things unnerved me. 

“I think we should surprise her,” I suggested, noticing how Cain had been. silently staring down. 

“Cain! What do you think?” I asked, snapping him out of his deep. thoughts. 

“Did she really speak to Brody like that?” he asked, clearly still fixated on the conversation I had with Brody and how Nora had dismissed me. 

“She did,” I replied honestly. But the truth was, we had no right to question her about her relationship with Brody anymore. 

Still, I knew my reaction would be explosive if I saw them together. I might not be able to control myself. 

“I’ll end Brody,” Cain finally spoke, shocking all of us. We had all thought about it at some point, but he was the first to say it out loud.

I rolled my eyes at my father’s words. There was no way I would let her be with Brody. 

“Why? Why should she be happy with him?” Ryker shamelessly spoke about Nora in front of all of us, showing no hesitation.
