Chapter 345
However, as before, no one answered.
Sheldon listened to the mechanical voice and threw the phone out angrily. He thought Nora did it on purpose.
"Bitch, you think you are with Derek so you can get rid of me, huh? You wish."
The next day.
Nora walked out of the Xavier Group after work. Suddenly, something red flashed. The next second, Sheldon's handsome and gentle face appeared.
He was holding a large bouquet of roses and smiled very gently. "Nora, this is for you.”
Nora was stunned when she saw him. To be honest, she had almost forgotten Sheldon since the conflict last time at the mall.
"Nora, I know that you are still angry with me. No matter what happened at the mall last time or how my mother hurt you, I'm really sorry."
"Don't worry. I persuaded my mother. She will never interfere in our relationship again,” Sheldon said, but his heart was filled with hatred.
He wasn't wrong. His mother really couldn't meddle in his marriage to this woman, but that wasn't because he had persuaded her, but because she was scared out of her wits.
After coming back from the detention center, his mother was a completely different person. She locked herself in her room every day, unwilling to go out, and would be shocked at the slightest movement.
Even if the servant who took care of her touched her a little, she would be scared, screaming, crying, and apologizing. She looked like she had lost her mind.
How could she be able to meddle in his business now?
No matter what, it was his mother, the best person to him since he was a child. His heart broke to see her like this.
And all this was because of the woman in front of him.
He wanted to strangle Nora, but the more he thought about it, the gentler the smile on his face became.
Nora was completely unaware of this. The two of them were standing outside the entrance of the Xavier Group. People were getting off work at this time. And many people were secretly looking at Sheldon.
Nora was so embarrassed and uncomfortable that she had no choice but to take the flowers and follow him into the car.
Nora was usually vigilant.
But this was Sheldon, who had saved her five years ago, gave her her name when she lost her memory, gave her a place to live, protected her, and then helped her find a job, so she didn't see a need to be on guard.
In her heart, the people of the Joneses were like her own. Who would be wary of their own family? Those people sent by Derek to protect Nora immediately reported to him that Nora had left with Sheldon, and were ordered to follow them.
In the office.
Derek's face was very grim. The last time he had made it so clear to Sheldon, but he didn't take it seriously and dared to come to his company and pick Nora up.
"When was the last time someone went against him? Sheldon is so brave.” Derek thought.
If it wasn't for Nora's sake, he would have let Sheldon die miserably, but he couldn't do it. Nora would refuse and be unhappy.
Sheldon drove his car into an underground parking lot of a shopping mall. He looked at Nora and couldn't help narrowing his eyes.
To be honest, this woman was really pretty, even a little prettier than Aubrey.
He used to see her as a stepping stone to his success. Although they had been in a relationship for so many years, nothing intimate had happened between them.
Thinking about it carefully, Sheldon himself found it incredible. For so many years, he rarely held hands with Nora, let alone kissed or went further. It was really strange.
He didn't want to lower himself to do anything before, but now...
"Nora, I haven't seen you for so many days. I really miss you.”
He looked at her with passion in his eyes and said that in a low voice. Then he leaned slightly to her, trying to kiss her.
Kissing was normal for those in a relationship, but for some reason, Nora wanted to avoid him. She hadn't had this feeling in the past five years. She subconsciously jerked back, then turned her head and blurted out.
"No."
The two hurried words dissipated the romance in the car.
Sheldon's face darkened and he looked at her tilted face, his eyes burning with anger.
She refused him? How dare this damn woman refuse him?
Sheldon had never been refused by a woman before. How did this happen? A lowly woman whom he completely despised turned him down!
He wanted to roar, but he had to be calm. He pursed his lips.
"Nora, what's wrong? Are you still mad at me?"
Nora's heart was pounding. She also knew that she was being strange just now. After all, Sheldon was her boyfriend. Although the last time they had friction at the mall, they were still in a relationship.
She didn't even know what was going on with her. When Sheldon came over, Derek's face popped up in her mind.
And at that moment, she even felt guilty. Nora felt like she was going crazy.
Logically speaking, Sheldon should be much closer to her than Derek since she had lost her memory. Why should she feel guilty?
Hearing Sheldon mentioning the mall, she took a deep breath and said, "Sheldon, I am not mad at you for myself, but for my son.”
"He's very important to me. I won't let anyone hurt him."
She said it slowly, which enraged Sheldon.
"I hated this lowly woman. I also hated that brat.” Sheldon thought.
He would never forget how that little bastard had deceived him that day. That brat fleeced him, and this bitch had gone out of her way to protect and defend him. They disgusted him.
"I know that it was my fault last time. I shouldn't argue with a child. Since he is your son, he is also my son. Don't worry. I will treat him like my own.”
He said the last sentence very gently, but his eyes were filled with hatred.
Nora lowered her eyelids and did not speak. After a few seconds, she put the roses in the back seat of the car, opened the door, and got out.
She knew very well that Easton would never accept Sheldon as his other father, especially when Derek was still around.
