Chapter 159 Steven is Very Angry
Olivia said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Seeing Olivia's determined expression, Nora understood that Olivia had finally woken up completely.
Well, when a woman has a miscarriage and is in the hospital, her husband and his family not only don't come, but also cut off her medical expenses, keep coming to make trouble, and even make it into the news.
And Willie was cheating too!
Any woman going through all this would be extremely resentful.
Nora looked at Steven, "Steven, how's the investigation into Willie's affair going?"
"I handed that to Alton." Steven looked at Alton.
He had given this matter to Alton, and now it was his chance to show what he could do.
Alton was indeed smart. He sat up straight and said, "We've had people following up on this, but Willie is very cautious. He hasn't been taking Hazel to hotels lately."
Olivia was surprised and looked at Alton, "You sent people to investigate Willie for me?"
"Yes." Alton nodded.
Olivia looked at Nora again, "You noticed this and asked Mr. Bridges to do it?"
"Yes." Nora said, "I once ran into them hugging in the office at the company, it was when Willie bought you that bracelet. After that, I kept following him, but couldn't get any solid evidence. When Steven found out, he said he'd handle it for me, and then he asked Mr. Bridges to do it, something like that."
Round and round, everyone ended up being people they knew.
Olivia was surprised, but also felt warm inside.
They were all such good people.
Olivia's nose tingled, and she suddenly felt like crying.
Nora handed her a tissue. "Olivia, don't cry. We'll all be here with you through this darkest time."
Olivia nodded, feeling warm and touched inside.
After finishing dinner happily, Olivia wanted to ask Alton about divorce matters, so she went with Alton for coffee.
Nora and Steven had nothing else to do, and looking at the time, it was only after seven.
Nora said, "Honey, shall we go see a movie?"
She was getting more and more comfortable saying it now.
Steven paused for a moment, then agreed, "Okay."
There happened to be a movie theater in the nearby mall. Nora got up to grab that bag of sexy lingerie, but Steven picked it up first.
He even opened it to look inside.
Nora's face turned red.
After looking, he seemed quite satisfied and said to her with a smile, "Wear it for me tonight."
"This is underwear!" Nora frowned. It wasn't even lingerie, why was he so excited!
"I want to see it anyway." Steven always meant what he said.
Since he insisted she wear it, Nora didn't dare refuse.
Nora let him hold her hand as they slowly left the restaurant and went to see a movie.
At the cinema.
Steven asked her to wait while he went to buy movie tickets.
It was his first time here, and, afraid Nora would notice he was unfamiliar with the place, he specifically asked her to wait on the side.
"Okay." Nora walked over to a sofa on the side to wait for him.
"Ms. Adams?" A pleasant voice came from beside her.
Nora turned to look, and it was Andrew, whom she hadn't seen in days.
Andrew had just returned from abroad. That sneaky Steven had deliberately sent him overseas, and if it weren't for his high status, he would have been stuck there drinking himself to death.
When he got the chance, he would definitely get back at Steven!
Right now, his girlfriend had dragged him here to see a movie, and he unexpectedly ran into Nora.
"Mr. Hayes?" Although Nora knew Mr. Hayes had a "suspicion of deliberately making things difficult" for her, you can't slap a smiling face, and that order was due to be delivered tomorrow.
She smiled and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Came to see a movie with a friend." Andrew smiled, "What about you?"
"I came with my husband," Nora answered politely.
Would Steven actually come see a movie with Nora?
Steven seemed like that romantic type?
Andrew was very doubtful, "Ms. Adams, you're already married?"
"Yes, been married for quite a while."
"Can't tell, you look so young, I thought you just graduated from college."
"I graduated a year ago." Nora smiled.
"That's still pretty early to get married."
At this moment, Steven came back with the movie tickets.
He saw Andrew talking to Nora and was a bit displeased.
But he couldn't go over.
He was afraid Andrew would reveal his identity in front of Nora.
So he could only watch them coldly.
After they talked for a while, the atmosphere became a bit awkward. Nora deliberately didn't look for topics, intentionally letting the atmosphere get stiff.
That way, Andrew would take the hint and leave.
Sure enough, Andrew spoke up, "Well, I won't disturb you and your husband watching the movie. My movie is about to start too, bye."
Nora suddenly thought, they wouldn't be watching the same showing, would they?
Please no! She didn't want to run into Mr. Hayes!
As soon as Andrew left, Steven appeared behind Nora.
Nora was startled, "Steven, you're back? What show did you get tickets for?"
Steven didn't say anything, but suddenly grabbed her wrist, gripping it hard.
The two movie tickets fell to the ground.
He wasn't watching anymore.
His face was displeased as he grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the underground parking lot.
Nora was pulled so hard she almost fell, her face showing some fear, "Steven..."
Steven didn't answer her, stuffing her whole body into the car.
Then the car started and quickly rushed out of the mall's parking garage.
The car drove all the way toward the wilderness.
Nora was very scared inside.
Why was Steven suddenly so angry?
She clutched her seatbelt and said, "Steven, what's wrong?"
Steven didn't answer her, stopping the car in front of a desolate area, leaning against the hood with a gloomy face, smoking.
Nora didn't know what he was trying to do.
Weren't they just going to see a movie? Why was he suddenly this angry?
She still wasn't getting out to comfort him!
Steven was getting a bit unhappy waiting, took a heavy drag on his cigarette, and ground it out on the ground.
He walked back, yanked open the car door, and looked down at her from above, his face cold.
"I'll give you one minute to make me feel better."
"Make you feel better?" Nora was confused, "What are you angry about?"
She had no idea what Steven was angry about.
His temper always came out of nowhere like this; she couldn't read him at all.
Hearing Nora say this, Steven's temper flared up. Last time he told her not to interact with Andrew anymore, and today she was still chatting and laughing with him!
And Nora didn't even know what she did wrong?
Steven got straight into the car and pressed her hard against the seat, his breath dark, "You don't know what I'm angry about?"
He grabbed her chin.
"I really don't know." Nora's chin was in his grip, feeling a bit scared, "Why don't you tell me..."
Before she could finish, Steven bit her lip, fiercely, with punishment.
Nora said she would love Steven, and now that Steven had lowered his head to give her a chance, she should be loyal only to him.
Only love him.
Only be good to him.
Nora's neck was being bitten, it hurt, she panted softly, "Steven, you're hurting me..."
Nora didn't understand why Steven was suddenly angry, being so rough with her. She was a bit unwilling.
She could accept mutual affection.
But she didn't like this one-sided bullying. Nora felt like she was just a tool for venting, not his wife.
"Steven, don't..." Nora pushed him, her expression somewhat angry.
Steven glared at her coldly, and his hand went under her skirt.
Nora's spine stiffened, and she pushed back even harder, "I don't want to, Steven!"
Nora was angry! How could Steven provoke her in the wilderness? And forcefully too!
"Why not? Didn't you really like it last night?" he said.
"I don't like it!" She was afraid he would go too far, and grabbed his hand hard, "I really don't like it."
"You don't like it? Then why did you say you liked it last night? Were you lying to me?" He glared at her. Was the intimacy last night all an act?
He was so angry that he pinched her chin tight, his hand tormenting her under her skirt.
Nora was restrained, couldn't escape, her whole body uncomfortable, like being roasted by fire, begging, "Don't, please..."
"Steven..." There was a crying tone in Nora's voice, but Steven still wouldn't let her go; he just wanted to punish her.
Steven tormented her hard.
Nora's body trembled slightly, her eyes full of anger, "Get away from me!"
Steven didn't leave, but leaned over, pulled open her collar, and bit down.
He wanted to make love to her in the car.
Nora refused, flailing her hands at him, just wouldn't agree, "I don't want to, get away, this is rape!"
Steven used brute force to grip both her hands, pinning them above her head, making her body arch up, "Didn't you just buy sexy lingerie today? You were going to wear it for me tonight and make love with me, now it's just earlier, why not?"
Hearing this, Nora felt desolate inside .
How could willing and forced be the same?
Willing meant wanting both of them to move in a better direction.
But being forced was a kind of punishment and control, impossible to feel pleasure from, only humiliation!
She screamed, "I won't make love with you, let me go."
"No." His face was silent, the cold air he breathed out wrapping around her neck.
Nora was so scared she trembled and started crying.
She was already trying so hard to adapt to him. If Steven forced her, it would definitely ruin everything.
Thinking of the torture about to come, she cried very pitifully.
Steven looked at her tear-stained little face, anger rolling in his eyes.
In the end, he still didn't touch her.
He released his grip, feeling particularly bored.
His face was indifferent as he sat in the driver's seat and drove the car to the Riverside Apartment.
"Get out." Steven coldly told her to get out.
He didn't drive into the underground garage, probably not going home.
Nora glanced at him, his profile very displeased.
Nora was a bit scared and didn't dare say anything, slowly getting out of the car.
The Audi sped away in the night.
Nora stood in the night, her frail body chilled to the bone by the night wind... She used her fingerprint to open the door. Olivia wasn't back yet.
Nora slowly walked into the master bedroom and leaned against the door in silence.
After a long time, she finally moved her eyes and put the two sets of underwear in the closet.
Her eyes suddenly turned red.
He was angry again. Was he going to give her the silent treatment again?
Nora's heart ached tightly.
When would these days ever end?
Late at night.
The master bedroom door was open, and Steven, slightly drunk, walked in.
Nora was already asleep, lying on her side facing the bay window.
Steven looked at her with heavy eyes for a while before raising his hand to unbutton his shirt and going to the shower.
After showering, he lifted the covers and went to sleep with his back to her.
Before long, Nora habitually moved closer, hugging him, her face pressed against his cold back.
Steven frowned, "What are you doing?"
Nora didn't say anything, but hugged him tighter.
Steven was a bit uncomfortable. "Nora, what exactly are you trying to do?"
