Nora

Chapter 145:

The premium VIP rooms were on the top floor of the inpatient department. The elevator was full, but Tanya was too anxious, so she had taken the stairs. Therefore, she did not expect to meet Joel.

Joel, who had something urgent to attend to, had to go downstairs, so he also took the stairs.

At that moment, Joel was standing at a higher place and looking down at Tanya from above, while Tanya was standing at a lower place and looking up at him.

The two looked at each other. For a while, neither of them spoke.

Tanya had rushed up here, fearing that Cherry was seriously ill. Seeing Joel’s familiar face, she unconsciously felt even sadder and her eyes instantly reddened.

Five years ago, she might have made that man her pillar of support.

But five years later, he had already become another woman’s pillar of support.

That thought made Tanya hold back the tears that were about to well up in her eyes. She lowered her gaze and reached around Joel so she could climb up.

Joel watched her.

When the woman had first seen him, there had been something of lingering affection in his expression. It reminded him of how she had always come to him immediately whenever a professor lectured him or when he encountered some kind of difficulty.

She would hug him and cry, or hug him and laugh.

She always shared all her feelings with him. Right now, she looked like she wanted to pounce on him and hug him.

However, it took only an instant for the woman to change her mind. Her gaze became distant, and she even wanted to walk past him.

The rose-scented shower gel she carried on her reached him. The scent was so familiar and so far away that it caused a lump to form in his throat.

Tanya wanted to rush past the man and hurry to the living room.

There was no one else in the stairwell, and the door had isolated all noise from the hallway outside.

It seemed to him that he could even hear the man’s heartbeat in the small enclosed environment. The stairs were relatively narrow, so Tanya stepped sideways as she passed him.

It was then that the man suddenly grabbed her arm. He asked her, “Tanya, do you know there’s something going on between Justin Hunt and Nora Smith?”

Tanya didn’t immediately understand what he was referring to, so she frowned and said, “Their relationship can’t be made public yet. What’s the problem?”

“It can’t be made public yet?” In other words, did she know?

If she knew this man was cheating on her, why was she still with him?

Five years ago, when she realized what had happened between him and Hillary, hadn’t she immediately left him so firmly and decisively? Was it because she loved that man more than him?

Joel felt terribly frustrated. He asked, “So, are you willing to turn a blind eye to their relationship, or are you actually the lover?”

Although he hadn’t interacted much with Nora before, he could tell she was a very proud woman.

Joel would never believe that she would become someone’s mistress.

But if it wasn’t Nora, then the real mistress was…. Tanya?

Anger surged in Tanya when she heard what he said, and she let out a sarcastic laugh.

So was she really someone like that in his eyes?

She lowered her gaze and pushed Joel away immediately. Then she said distantly, “There’s nothing between the two of us anymore, Mr. Smith. It’s none of your business whether I’m someone’s mistress or not, is it?”.

Tanya wanted to leave after saying that, but Joel grabbed her arm, pulled her to him again and slammed her against the back wall.

Tanya’s words at that moment amounted to a tacit admission to Joel.

The look in his eyes turned dark and the aura around him also became oppressive. He said coldly, “Since you’re willing to be someone’s mistress, then…. Why aren’t you mine?”.

Joel held her chin and forced her to look at him. He said, “How much does Mr. Hunt give you? How about if I double the amount? Or is it for the child? In that case, if you give me a child, I’ll give you Mrs. Smith’s position-isn’t that better?”

‘Child’…

Tanya was so furious that she was shaking all over.

She sneered, “Your behavior is going to make me think you still have feelings for me, Mr. Smith.”

Teasing had been the most effective with him in the past.

Her words made Joel’s expression change, but just then he leaned toward her. She could feel his breath on her neck as he spoke.

“I wouldn’t call it feelings, but I miss your body so much. I wonder if you’ve become even more seductive after five years apart.”

His words were like a hard slap on Tanya’s cheek.

She shouted angrily, “What, Hillary doesn’t satisfy your needs?”.

Joel’s voice also became a little harsher. He said, “She was never as curvy as you from the beginning. After all, a dancer’s body is softer and more flexible, So you can better attach yourself to me and get into all kinds of positions with me!”

“… Joel Smith, you’re so shameless!”

“Shameless? I can be even more shameless, Miss Turner, would you like to try it?”

Joel started kissing Tanya right after he said that!

A furious Tanya struggled to pull away from him, only to find that the more she struggled, the more ferociously the man kissed her. It was as if he wanted to swallow her whole…. She couldn’t push him away, no matter what she did. Tanya slowly stopped struggling.

Joel felt like he had gone crazy.

At first, he had said all those things and had provoked her just for a momentary thrill, but when he saw her admit it without denying anything, his heart ached even more and he felt sadder.

He allowed himself to vent all the longing he had for her for the past five years, but suddenly, something warm dripped onto the back of his hand.

The warm current felt like it was boiling, causing his movements to suddenly stop.

Joel looked at Tanya and saw that she was actually crying.

For a moment, he felt a little lost.

Slap!noveldrama

Tanya slapped him on the cheek. Then she shoved him away and ran up the stairs.

Upstairs in the living room.

When Tanya entered, she found a Cherry alive and kicking, playing. It was then that she realized she had been tricked. After comforting Cherry a bit, she left with her emotions stirred….

Joel was the only one left on the empty staircase.

Joel clenched his fists. When he thought of Tanya’s tears a moment ago, he slapped himself.

He had behaved like a real scumbag.

But he really couldn’t stand to see her disrespect him like that.

Joel leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. After a long period of silent contemplation, he suddenly let out a huge sigh.

He stood up abruptly. However, instead of going down, he went back up.

He stood in the doorway and hesitated for a long time before he finally turned around and headed for Master Hunt’s VIP room.

When he arrived, he again stood at the door for a long time…. Finally, he pushed the door open.

However, he saw only two bodyguards and two nurses there. Tanya was not there.

Her eyebrows furrowed. Then, Cherry raised her head and looked at him puzzled. She asked, “Beautiful sir, why are you here?”

Joel was about to speak when Cherry pursed her lips and said, “I don’t like you! You must have been the one who bullied Godmother Tanya and made her cry.”

Joel was totally flabbergasted when he heard what she said. He asked, “What did you say?”

Godmother… Tanya?
