Sheldon was surprised to answer her call. He looked unpleasant, but he spoke gently. It was his habit over the past five years.
Sheldon was injured and focused his attention on the person who beat him. So he didn't know about the affair of plagiarism, which was exposed on the Internet.
Nora got out of the car and walked into the coffee shop. She was still angry when she saw Sheldon, who had arrived early.
But...
"Nora, I'm here. It is a new shop and their desserts are delicious. I ordered some for you. Try it."
Sheldon thought that Nora asked him out for the answer of his proposal more than ten days ago.
It was a make-or-break moment. He had to be gentle and considerate. He looked at Nora tenderly. If she didn't know him, she would think that he loved her so much.
Nora looked at his behavior and the familiar expression for five years. She was in a daze and was not angry anymore. She just felt incredible.
Even though she was thinking of many things, she was shocked by his expression.
How could he trick her for years and curried favor with another woman with her designs? How could he face her when he ruined her reputation?
Was she too blind before? Or was Sheldon too good at acting?
Neither. The most important reason was about herself.
She lost her memory when she was injured and she was saved by the Joneses. They accepted her and gave her the surname Jones as well. So she was grateful to them and had to conceal her own thoughts.
Nora took a deep breath and suppressed all sorts of thoughts. She sat down opposite Sheldon and looked at him without any expression.
"Nora, what's wrong?"
Sheldon naturally didn't know her thoughts and said: "Did I scare you when I proposed in the square last time? I'm sorry, but I've planned it for a long time. After all, I like you so much. Don't worry, we'll be the happiest couple after we get married."
As he spoke, he looked at her affectionately.
Nora didn't know what to say.
If he didn't mention it, Nora would have forgotten it.
She didn't want to listen to the hypocrite. So she said directly, "I'm in trouble."
Huh?
Sheldon was stunned and a little unresponsive.
Nora looked at him and said slowly, "I'm in trouble. A big trouble."
He recovered and chuckled, "Nora, it doesn't matter. You are my fiancée, the future hostess of the Joneses. Don't worry. I will help you."
Sheldon didn't take it seriously. He knew her well. Even if she took the initiative to cause some trouble, she would not cause any big trouble.
What was more, she wouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble.
