Chapter 194
After coaxing Milo to sleep, Nora was finally able to get away.
Secretly putting the business card in her suitcase, Nora hugged Michael from behind, "Let's switch to another resort. What if Milo wakes up crying and comes looking for me again..."
Then the vacation would be ruined.
She wanted to spend more time with Michael.
This vacation might be her last time together with Michael.
Being able to have him, even briefly, was at least a kind of happiness.
Michael had just finished talking on the phone with David. Seeing Nora hug him on her own, he was a bit surprised.
"What did Daryl say to you?" Why so suddenly proactive? Michael felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Mommy, I want mommy, mommy..." Outside the door came Milo's crying, getting farther away.
Obviously, Daryl had forcibly carried Milo away.
Nora looked at Michael nervously.
Their eyes met.
After thinking for a moment, Michael immediately started packing, moving super fast, "Let's go!"
Better not to get caught up with Milo again.
Though Nora couldn't bear to hear Milo cry, she still held back and grabbed Michael's wrist to run.
She had a son, and besides, Milo wasn't her son.
Feeling bad was one thing, but she couldn't take care of someone else's child forever.
Michael looked at Nora pulling his wrist and smiled, "You still haven't told me what Daryl said to you?"
Nora stopped and turned to look at Michael, "He thinks I'm using you as a stepping stone, trying to climb up to the Fields family."
Michael stepped forward, frowning, "What did you say?"
"I said..." Nora took a deep breath, gathering her courage.
Some things, if not said today, might never get another chance.
"I said, Mr. Smith is already the peak in my heart. I don't need to use you as a stepping stone to climb up to anyone." Nora smiled, a warm smile.
In the sunlight, she really seemed to glow.
Michael's heart skipped a beat. So this is what being moved feels like.
Reaching out to pull Nora into his arms, Michael smiled and responded, "Having me is enough. You don't need to climb up to anyone else."
Even if it was to make Nora always willing to rely on him, he had to work even harder.
After changing hotels, Michael called David, "The plan goes on as scheduled, but might need to move up. Nolan can't hold back anymore."
David told Michael that the Clark family and the Smith family had met today and even had a family dinner.
Behind Michael's back, they had privately decided his marriage.
Put nicely, he was Nolan's son. Put bluntly, he was just Nolan's chess piece.
A chess piece used to maintain interests.
Nora came out of the bathroom, barefoot, still wet, her hair dripping.
She only had a towel wrapped around her, standing on the carpet, nervous and uneasy.
Unlike usual, today her nervousness was about how to be more proactive.
Nora also wanted to use this short time to do more things to make Michael happy.
Because Michael was the only one who had considered her studies and five years of wrongful imprisonment.
Putting herself in his shoes, Nora knew very clearly who treated her well and who didn't.
"Mr. Smith." Nora spoke softly, her ears already red.
"Want me to dry your hair?" Michael hung up the phone and walked over, rubbing Nora's wet hair, "Dry it, or you'll catch a cold."
Nora thought, she'd have to wash again after working up a sweat anyway, might as well fuck first then wash.
So she stood on tiptoes and kissed Michael's lips.
Michael was stunned for a long time.
Today's Nora was so proactive it made him nervous.
Narrowing his eyes, Michael held Nora's head and kissed her hard.
"What's gotten into you?" Michael asked suspiciously.
Nora didn't speak, actively unbuttoning Michael's shirt, one button after another going down...
Michael gasped. Subtle seduction was already deadly enough, let alone this blatant kind.
"Nora." Michael felt he would really die at Nora's hands.
Because he was willing.
"Do you need something from me?" Michael was nervous.
Nora's personality was incredibly soft. No matter how he handled her, she would only whimper a bit. Today she was actually taking initiative.
It made Michael feel uncertain.
"Savannah taught me to be proactive..." Nora said haltingly.
Actually, her heart ached terribly.
She was so afraid of losing Michael. But if her presence only brought him bad influence.
She'd rather leave.
"Savannah is pretty good." Michael smiled, "I already had David arrange a new place for her and got her a job."
Michael raised an eyebrow, as if waiting for Nora's praise.
Nora looked at Michael in shock, her eyes bright and beautiful.
"Mr. Smith, you arranged everything for Savannah?" Nora was a bit excited.
Michael's lips curved up, "Had to thank her for teaching my wife so well."
Nora's ears turned red.
Wife.
This term really made people lose their minds.
Actively hugging Michael, Nora tried kissing and biting his Adam's apple.
Savannah said this was a sensitive spot for men.
Michael felt the string called reason snap. He pulled her into his arms, picked her up and placed her on the bathroom counter.
"Seducing me again."
Michael said resentfully.
Every time Nora seduced him, she wouldn't properly help him release his desire, always crying and begging for mercy.
And he was soft-hearted.
This time, he couldn't be soft-hearted no matter what.
Nora blushed and more actively held Michael's face to look at him.
Michael was really perfect.
So there really were such perfect men.
Would he always be this good?
But she would have to leave eventually.
Sighing, Nora hugged Michael tightly with heartache, "Michael, did you see the news? Mr. Nolan Smith seems to have really agreed to the marriage with the Clark family."
Michael frowned. He knew something was off with Nora.
So she had seen the domestic news.
"I saw it. He agreed to the marriage, let him marry then." Michael said in a low voice, "It has nothing to do with me. I have a wife, protected by law."
Michael had already decided that after returning home, if Nolan pushed too hard, he would directly post their marriage certificate on Twitter.
Let's see what tricks Nolan could pull then.
Want to threaten him with shares? Then let's try it.
He'd only been gone a few days and the Smith Group was already in chaos.
James didn't deserve his position—the company's board members knew this best.
Let him make trouble. What could he really do?
He was really looking forward to it.
Laughing coldly, Michael held Nora in his arms, "You don't need to worry."
He would announce his married status.
Make the Clark family look like clowns again.
These people didn't deserve sympathy.
The Clark family didn't deserve to be left alive either.
