Chapter 721: Chapter 456: Miguel Smith: I’ve Been in an Online Relationship with Marcus Shaw for Two Years

Pedro Langley didn’t understand why Nora Scott, who loved getting jealous, didn’t ask more questions when he used his charm on someone else, just like Nora didn’t understand why Pedro wasn’t happy when she tried her best to give him space, not getting jealous or suspicious.

Still, whether they understood each other or not, it ended with a kiss.

When Marcus Shaw came back, he saw Nora sitting on a chair applying lipstick, her lips a little swollen, not looking very happy.

Pedro leaned to the side, holding half a glass of watermelon juice, sipping it with relish.

"..."

Marcus decided to pretend he hadn’t seen anything.

"I left the keys on the table. Lock the door when you leave, I’ll get them from you tomorrow," Marcus put the lab keys on the table, clearly speaking to Nora.

Nora raised her eyes, looked at him curiously, and asked, "Not staying until the evening today?"

"Yeah, got some stuff tonight."

Marcus nodded slightly, took his backpack, packed his things, and left.

As soon as he left, Nora wondered if he was going on a date and considered giving him some advice from the perspective of a woman often asked out and popular, but before she could come to a conclusion, her phone vibrated.

The phone was on the table.

She had to stand up, take a couple of steps, to reach it. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Nora lifted her eyes, staring at Pedro.

"Ancestor."

Pedro understood instantly and obediently called out.

Turning around, taking a step, Pedro grabbed the phone and handed it to Nora.

Nora took it, squinted her eyes, and began to complain: "Did you not whine when you grabbed it for me before?"

"..."

Pedro was at a loss for words.

"Ha, men," Nora sneered.

Her eyelids drooped, no longer looking at him.

Pedro: "..."

The message was from Miguel Smith.

[Miguel Smith]: I’m meeting my brother who made the Maze game tonight!

[Nora Scott]: So?

[Miguel Smith]: Nothing much, just suddenly got excited and wanted to share with you.

[Nora Scott]: You’ve been online dating for one or two years, playing games together every day, like an old married couple. What’s there to be excited about only meeting now?

[Miguel Smith]: ...

[Miguel Smith]: The way you put it, I feel like I don’t need to meet him.

[Miguel Smith]: If he looks like a crooked melon or cracked dates, wouldn’t I be heartbroken?

[Nora Scott]: Appearance-based.

[Miguel Smith]: Heavenly Immortal! Beauty! Ask yourself honestly! Who spoiled my eyes?

[Nora Scott]: Sorry, it was me.

After some nonsense with Miguel, Rosie sent a message saying she’s going to the set to prepare for filming. Nora finished chatting with Miguel, the phone screen went black, and Nora stood up.

Then—

Pedro suddenly stepped forward, stood in front of her, and said, "Ancestor, are you getting up, where are you going, I’ll carry you."

Nora: "..."

This man has been acting silent beside her, waiting for this moment?!

"No use telling you," Nora pushed him away, turned her head not to look at him, walked outside, and continued talking, dragging her voice, "No use!"

Pedro blocked her way again, embraced her, "Still upset?"

"Still upset."

Nora snorted lightly.

"What should I do, Luna Durant messaged me," Pedro said earnestly, looking troubled, "I’ll reply to her when you are happy again?"

Nora raised her eyebrows, threatening him, "Finished! Pedro, if you message her behind my back, you’re done for!"

"Okay, okay, I’ll show you all the messages," Pedro hurriedly said, unable to stop the smile breaking through his lips.

"Hand it over."

Nora reached out to him.

Pedro held onto it, making a show, and bargained, "Have I made you happy yet?"

Nora was practically impressed, "Fine, you’re the best at being unreasonable."

"Here, my ancestor."

Pedro put the phone in Nora’s hand.

The screen lit up, and Nora glanced at it, unable to resist commenting: "Does she still use selfies as her profile picture?"

"Yes," Pedro nodded, "Not as good-looking as you, to me it’s visual pollution."

"..."

About to make a couple more snide remarks, Nora heard Pedro’s brutal comment, blinked, and swallowed her words.

—Letting Pedro get close to Luna, he genuinely feels wronged.

—Sympathizing with her dear Langley. Mm, just for a second.

Nora held his hand, fingers gently caressing the back of his hand, as a way of comfort.

[Luna Durant]: Mr. Langley, I’ve got the news here, it’ll take about two to three days to be delivered.

[Luna Durant]: Once it’s in hand, I’ll bring it to you, how does that sound?

"How does that sound..." Reading the message, Nora snorted lightly, speaking sarcastically, "Tsk, she’s all heart with you, how long have you been apart? Half an hour to get the legendary rare, invaluable and mocked toy by Master Sliver himself?"

Pedro was amused by her, buried in her neck with laughter for a bit, then continued playfully, "These things, as much as my girlfriend wants, not interested."

"Not interested?"

Nora raised an eyebrow.

Pedro immediately corrected himself, "Only the ones given personally by my girlfriend are special."

"Agree with her, schedule the place," Nora returned the phone to him, "Reply later, don’t make it seem like you’re eager. Be aloof. You’re the aloof CEO character, don’t put all the women in your eyes—except me, got it?"

Pedro nodded cooperatively, but then changed his tone, "Katherine and Loughton might get a little hurt."

Nora couldn’t hold back her amusement, laughed, and gave him a playful glare, "Daughter and mom are different."

"...Okay."

Pedro nodded solemnly, as if he had received an imperial decree.

The two exchanged glances.

Then, laughed again.

Dating like fools.
