Nora

Chapter 127:.

As soon as Nora entered the dining room, someone approached and respectfully asked, “Are you Miss Smith?”.

Nora nodded indifferently.

The man immediately said, “Please come with me.”

Nora, “?”

Justin had to go to such lengths just to arrange a private room for them to have a chat?

The woman, puzzled, followed the wait staff. After taking a couple of steps forward, she discovered that a red carpet had been laid out on the floor and there were a bunch of balloons and flowers on either side. At first glance it looked very romantic.

People around them were already gesturing to them.

The corners of Nora’s lips twitched. She asked, “Is this a mistake?”

The waiter looked at the business card in her hand. “Are you Miss Nora Smith?”

“Yes.”

“Then that is correct.” The waiter smiled and said, “Please join me.”

Nora, “?”

She followed the hesitant wait staff and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The wait staff replied, “Someone has prepared a surprise for you, but I can’t tell you what it is yet.”

Had Justin prepared a surprise?

Nora’s first reaction was to wonder if the man had gone crazy again.

Then she suddenly realized that she was actually looking forward to the surprise.

Nora reached the other end of the hallway as her thoughts continued to run wild. As soon as she rounded the corner, she saw someone standing with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

The man was dressed in a suit and looked quite handsome. He approached her, knelt down and said, “Miss Smith, please marry me!”.

Question marks immediately appeared in Nora’s head: ‘What’s going on?’

What was going on?

Winston’s disreputable companions were standing on either side of him. Tina was also standing at the back of the crowd. They were all clapping as they shouted, “Marry him! Marry him!”

The noise made the people around them look their way. Everyone stopped, gathered around them and cried out, “Marry him!”.

Instantly, Nora felt even more confused.

She took a step back and asked with a frown, “Did they get the wrong person?”

A smiling Winston replied, “Miss Nora Smith, you are so funny! You’ve been on my mind from the moment I saw you dance. Your graceful bearing has been deeply etched in my mind. Before I met you, I had never believed in love at first sight, but now you have made me understand the meaning of this phrase. Isn’t the fact that you are here an indication of what it feels like?”

His words became more and more demanding as he spoke, causing Nora’s eyebrows to draw together.

She took another step back. “I’ve come to meet someone.”

“Yes, I, Winston Myers, am exactly who you’re looking for.”

Winston offered her the bouquet again. “Beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady! What a perfect match!”

Nora, “!”

She frowned and said, “I’m sorry, I really don’t know who you are. I have something pending, so please let me pass.”

Everyone, “?”

Amidst the bewilderment of the audience, Winston frowned and said, “Miss Smith, surely you are going too far. I already asked someone to come to your house yesterday to discuss our marriage, I also said I would wait for you and propose here.”

He grabbed Nora’s shoulder. “How could you possibly not know who I am if you’re already here!”

Unfortunately, before he could touch Nora, Nora’s delicate, slender fingers had already tightened their grip on his wrist. With a slight tug, she threw Winston over her shoulder and he fell to the ground.

Winston, “!”

He had never been one to get the short end of the stick from others. As he was thrown to the ground in front of everyone, he felt embarrassed and angry. He stood up and shouted, “What are you doing?”

Tina also came out from behind the crowd at that moment. She frowned and scolded, “Miss Smith, even if you think Mr. Myers isn’t good enough for you, you shouldn’t humiliate him like that!”

“I’m not good enough for her?” Winston was infuriated. Tina always knew how to hit a raw nerve for him. She stretched out her finger and pointed Nora in the face as she said, “Am I not good enough for you? It is in fact you who are not good enough for me! What makes you, a woman burdened with a child, think you are too good for me?”

“Exactly…”

The people around them were all friends of Winston’s, so they all spoke in his favor.

“What right does someone who grew up somewhere else have to look down on people like us who grew up in New York?”

“Mr. Myers is a native New Yorker! He has a lot of connections in New York.”

“I hear she got pregnant before she got married….. If it weren’t for that pretty face of hers, and her reputation as a lucky star or whatever, would anyone approach them to ask for her hand in marriage?”

“Exactly. If you think even Mr. Myers isn’t good enough for you, then who do you think is good enough? Surely you’re not dreaming of Joel Smith or Justin Hunt, are you? They’re out of your league.”

“…”

Everyone started making comments, but what they were saying was very annoying and annoying to Nora.

She looked mockingly at the people in front of her, clicked her tongue in annoyance, and said dispassionately, “The New York Center opened its doors and let them all out?”

His words caused everyone to fall silent for a moment.

But right after, a furor went through the crowd!

The full name of the New York Center was the New York Psychiatric Center. As its name indicated, it was a hospital specializing in mental illness. Patients who could not recover were usually kept there, which was more or less equivalent to keeping them under surveillance.

In other words, Nora made fun of everyone and called them lunatics!

“Do you really need to say such mean things, Miss Smith?” Tina sighed and said, “Your previous engagement has already been annulled, so you should stop being so demanding. It’s a blessing for you to be able to marry Mr. Myers.”

Someone next to her asked curiously, “Your previous engagement was annulled? By whom?”

Tina said pretentiously, “This concerns Miss Smith’s privacy, after all, so I…”

“Just say it!”

Tina finally replied, “It’s the Grays…”

“The Grays? What, why haven’t I heard of them before, are there any powerful Grays in New York?”

“I don’t think so…”

Tina gestured and said, “The Grays aren’t from New York; they’re from California. As you all know, Miss Smith grew up outside of New York, away from the Andersons. I hear her father is a small businessman? I suppose the Grays can be considered a wealthy family there, too?”

While the Grays were considered quite impressive in California, they were not at all on par with New York.

Everyone suddenly burst out laughing. “It couldn’t be more embarrassing to have your engagement annulled by such nobodies as the Grays.”

“Considering what she’s like, who else would want someone like that?”

“…”

In the doorway.

When Justin walked in with Cherry and saw the flowers as well as the red carpet on the floor, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but spasm.

Then, he heard the service members passing by him say, “…. I hear it is a Miss Smith who has arranged all this. She intends to propose to someone…”noveldrama

Justin suddenly froze as he heard this.

A Miss Smith set this whole thing up?

There shouldn’t be so many people with the last name Smith here today, should there? Did he intend to propose to her?

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he even straightened his back and straightened his clothes. Surely Miss Smith wouldn’t say something like ‘Since we have children, let’s get married and give them a full home’ later, would she?

Heh.

Suddenly, the red carpet and flowers didn’t look so silly anymore. They looked really nice.

With that in mind, he quickened his pace.
