The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 321

Looking up, he saw the bath towel on the shelf. He immediately took it off and shook it out, quickly covering Nora's body.

Nora tilted her head, revealing her red earlobes. Her fair fingers gripped the edge of the bath towel tightly. She wished she could faint right away while her fingertips were whiting and her wrists were trembling.

Derek coughed softly, "I'll carry you out."

He waited for a few seconds, and when he saw that she had not said anything, he thought that she agreed. He immediately bent down and picked her up. When his arms touched her soft skin, his heart couldn't help mess up.

Nora's body was as stiff as a slab stone. As soon as she got close to the bed, she immediately rolled herself up with the quilt and buried her head deeply in it, motionless.

Seeing this, he didn't know what to say. He hesitated and said, "Don't worry, I didn't see anything."

After saying that, he regretted it. In that instance, how could he not have seen that? She wouldn't believe it. He shouldn't have said anything.

Sure enough, Nora buried her head deeper.

Her hands under the quilt were tightly clenched, and the sweat sprang up in her forehead because of hot. When this happened, she was not only ashamed and angry, but also mixed with unspeakable pain and grievance.

She attributed this inexplicable emotion to Sheldon.

Thinking of Sheldon, she recalled what his mother had said to her in the office the last time. Her flushed face turned a little pale, her brain was in a mess, and she even had an angry feeling towards Derek.

She knew it was not right. He saved her, and she should not be so ungrateful.

But she felt overwhelmed. What happened today seemed to confirm Sheldon's mother's slander on her.

She took a deep breath and thought that she was sitting on Derek's bed with his blanket over her. She felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to stay there any more.

Nora looked up slowly, "Mr. Xavier, thank you for saving me today. What happened just now was just an accident. Don't take it to heart. I want to change my clothes. Can I trouble you to wait for a moment outside?"

Her voice was so calm that she admired herself.

Derek was surprised at her calmness and immediately frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Nora changed her clothes and was completely at peace. She opened the door and walked out.

"Mr. Xavier, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Derek immediately got up and said, "I'll see you off."

"No, thanks, Mr. Xavier. It's not too late. I can go home alone, so I won't bother you."

Her tone was flat, but her attitude was firm. Derek could not help but squint his eyes and finally knew the reason why he was unhappy just now.

This woman was trying to avoid him. No, more accurately, she was drawing a line between him and herself.

A sharp dark light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at her without saying anything.

Under this gaze, Nora's calm heart could not help but waver again. She frowned. It was strange that she felt that he was angry.

She looked at his expressionless face and said, "Mr. Xavier, then, I'll go first."

Until she was out of his sight , Derek did not ask her to stay. He just looked at her back, and it seemed to have a whirlpool flowing in his eyes.

A few days later, Damian reported the results.

"Mr. Xavier, according to your requirements, I have done it at the most professional agencies in this city, the whole province, and the whole country. These are the three results. Please have a look."
