Justin's gaze suddenly became scorching hot.
He had thought of a set of lines between lovers:
'Can I borrow something from you?'
'Why?'
'So that I can owe you a lifetime.'
Could it be that... that woman was also into things like that?
After all, Cherry was really good at talking...
Justin, whose imagination was running wild, curled the corners of his lips up slightly into a smile. He stood up straight and asked with a smile, "What would you like to borrow?"
"Two strands of hair."
Justin,"???"
He gazed at Nora with a bit of confusion but saw her looking at him seriously instead. She said, "Mm, as a memento, I guess."
Justin,"!"
He stared at the woman in front of him. Suddenly, he bent over a little, placed his hands on his knees, and lowered his head. "Okay. Go ahead and pluck them, then."
The man's actions, when he suddenly lowered his head and came close to her, gave Nora a shock.
Then, she looked at the man's hair.
His shampoo was vanilla-scented, which smelled very refreshing. There wasn't any greasy smell, either. The man's hair texture, like him, was distinct, black, and hard.
Nora stretched out her hand, located a spot where it wouldn't hurt as much, and plucked out two strands of hair.
His hair jabbed her skin a little. When the man's head was lowered, his slightly curved neck and Adam's apple were exceptionally obvious. He looked up slightly—the deep and bottomless look in his eyes, as well as his obedient and docile appearance at the moment, made him look like a little puppy... waiting for its owner to adopt it... Cough. Her imagination was running a little wild.
Nora took a couple of steps back after she was done. She said, "Okay, I'm done."
Justin chuckled. "Do you need some more?"
"Aren't you afraid of going bald?" Nora retorted. Right after she said that though, she felt that the remark sounded too intimate, so she withdrew her gaze again.
Justin slowly stood back up. When he saw her carefully putting the strands of hair into a bag, he seemingly finally understood something.
He let out a low chuckle and said, "In that case... Goodbye, Ms. Smith?"
"Mm. Bye."
Justin only got in the car after he saw Nora turn around and enter the villa. After getting in the car, he felt even more amused.
That woman must be planning to do a DNA test with his hair, right?
After all, her son was with him, so she must want to confirm it one last time.
It looked like she indeed cared a little about his identity as the child's father... This at least showed that she did care about him, right?
After consoling himself a little, Justin turned and left contentedly.
Unbeknownst to him...
Nora went upstairs and called Lily immediately after she entered the villa. When Lily picked up, she said, "1 have the children's father's DNA sample here. I'll send his and the children's DNA samples to you later."
"What for? Do you want to check whether they are parent and child?"
"No."
It wasn't like Justin was an idiot. If he hadn't already confirmed that Pete was his son, why would he take care of him all the way till now?
It wasn't like he had a hobby of raising other people's kids for them.
It was just that...
