Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 134

Caleb was also stunned. He looked at Justin in disbelief and then at Nora before he asked hesitantly, "The mother of his child?"

Nora's expression turned solemn.

Had Justin discovered the truth?

While she was wondering about it, Justin glanced at her and said casually, "Ms. Smith and Pete get along very well. Pete also considers her his Mommy."

Nora breathed a sigh of relief. So, that was what he meant... That guy could totally scare someone to death with his words.

Caleb also heaved an obvious sigh of relief. He lowered his gaze and said with a smile, "Mr. Hunt is certainly fond of cracking jokes. Those who didn't know any better would've thought that Ms. Smith's child was yours..."

He was clearly trying to provoke Justin with his words.

Had Nora's child not been Justin's, he would definitely have pulled a long face. However, Justin instead said with a smile, "If I start a family with Ms. Smith, I will definitely treat her daughter like my own."

Cherry, who was in his arms, pursed her lips in contempt when she heard what he said. Who was it that deleted her from his Facebook account?!

Caleb, who didn't seem to expect that he would say that, was a little stunned. After a brief moment, he looked at

Nora and asked, "What about you, Ms. Smith?"

Nora also wanted to reject Caleb. Now that she had a ready excuse, she might as well just use it.

Thus, she said, "Yes, I've been fond of Mr. Hunt for a long time now. Besides, my marriage agreement with the Grays has already been canceled a long time ago in California."

There was a melancholic look in Caleb's eyes. He heaved a heavy sigh and said, "Alright, then. I originally only took out the marriage agreement to help you out of that situation anyway... It's better to make friends than enemies. Your mother was also good friends with the Grays back then, and I can't just kick you while you're down now, either."

Then, he added, "But it is ultimately the Grays who did something wrong first. How about this? Let's take it that I owe you a favor. I will definitely repay it if I have a chance to in the future."

Nora had originally thought that Caleb had come all the way to New York with the marriage agreement because of her. Little did she expect that he would let go so easily.

She immediately felt guilty for harboring such petty thoughts about him just now. She hastily waved and said, "It's not the Grays' fault. I was the one who got pregnant before the marriage. It's understandable that the Grays would want to break off the engagement."

Caleb, however, shook his head and said, "You didn't know how you became pregnant, either. It wasn't right of the Grays to abandon you under those circumstances. You don't have to say any more, Ms. Smith. If there's anything you need my help with in the future, just let me know."

"... Okay."

Caleb smiled again and said, "I'll head off first, then."

Seeing him turn to leave, Nora called out to him, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Gray."

Caleb looked back at her with his clear and gentle eyes.

The way he looked was as if she was a scumbag.

Nora coughed and said, "Can you rip up the marriage agreement?"

Caleb smiled and said, "1 was originally intending to keep it, but since you've asked, I'll just return it to you."

He took out the marriage agreement again and handed it to Nora. "I went to California once when I came back to the States this time. My father had taken out the marriage agreement to burn it up, but I happened to see it, so I kept it instead."

Nora examined the marriage agreement—it was identical to the one she had torn up. She balled up the marriage agreement and placed it in her pocket.

Justin narrowed his eyes when he saw what she did.

As expected, Anti really was a careful person. She knew that she mustn't leave any traces of it behind, so she must be planning to destroy it completely at home instead.

Caleb smiled.

He had actually arrived at the same conclusion as Justin's and thought that she was intending to bring it home and destroy it there.

Cherry, who was in Justin's arms, was the only one who couldn't help but face-palm. Mommy was simply too lazy. She wasn't even willing to spend the energy to tear up the marriage agreement, let alone having to take a few steps to toss it into the trash?
