Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 297

Nora waved. "It's fine."

She looked again at the madman that had been held down. As the skin on his face was all burned, one couldn't tell what he looked like or how old he was. Judging from the wrinkles on his hands, however, the man was likely quite advanced in age and was at least fifty years old.

As she walked toward the lower floor with the butler, she asked, "What is his background?"

The butler replied, "He's just a beggar. The ID card we found on him stated that he's from a small town near the mountains. A huge fire burned down his home, so he came out to beg when he had no way out... The old sir said that he definitely wouldn't have taken him in if he were mentally sound—after all, he's physically able to make a living for himself—but since he is in this state, then it was alright."

Nora looked at the madman again while listening to the butler.

The man's hair was dirty, and he looked like he hadn't had a bath in a very long while. Although his clothes were intact and didn't have any patches, they were also dirty and covered in dust and dirt.

One could tell that the Smiths hadn't abused him. It was just that he was mentally ill, so he was dirtier than ordinary people.

Perhaps because he sensed her disdain, the butler explained, "He has burns on his body, so his skin has always been in poor condition. It's very uncomfortable for him if he takes a hot bath, so he runs off and kicks up a fuss as soon as we give him a bath. As a result, we only give him a bath once a month. It's also mainly because he usually lives in an empty small house in the yard, and doesn't meet with anyone."

Nora nodded.

The butler asked the security guards to take him away. Even when they had walked a distance away, she could still hear the butler threatening him. "If you run in there again, I'll kick you out! And I won't give you burgers anymore! You hear me?"

"Burgers’ Burgers! I wanna eat burgers’"

The madman jumped around and followed the few of them.

Nora narrowed her eyes.

Then, she shook her head and paid no further attention to the matter. She turned and walked into the living room.

Warren and Maureen were both on the sofa. Their necks were craned as they looked at the door anxiously. Obviously, they were also waiting for Brandon to return from school.

Although the boy was all brawn and no brains, he was born into a rather blissful family.

While Nora was thinking about it, Maureen saw her. She waved at once and called out, "Nora! Let's go downstairs and have dinner together?"

Nora shook her head. "I'm waiting for Cherry, we're going out for dinner."

Maureen suddenly winked at her. "With Mr. Hunt?"

"Yeah."

After Nora answered her, Warren gave the crayfish and pasta plates in front of him a small push and snorted. "Are the Smiths unable to feed you? Do you have to go out for meals every day? Or are the Smiths giving you too little pocket money that you have to get Justin to treat you to meals? Are the Hunts' meals better than the food at home?!"

Nora:"??"

She raised her eyebrows, but before she could speak, someone had smacked Warren on his head. Maureen chastised him angrily, "Can't you speak properly?"

Warren rubbed his head and glared at Maureen. "What are you doing?"

Maureen ignored him and looked at Nora instead. "Don't mind him, Nora. He's in a panic and in a bad mood because a game developed by the company has a major bug that can't be fixed, that's why he's talking as if he has just eaten a whole load of gunpowder. Just ignore him. He actually does care about you. He bought the crayfish and pasta for you."

Nora:"?"

Warren looked as if he wanted to explode, though. He said, "Who says I bought it for her? You're obviously the one who likes it, so why are you saying so much?"

"... Okay, okay. I'm the one who likes it, okay?" said Maureen.

She sneered, "I wonder who it was that saw her eating crayfish so happily yesterday and traveled a long way to buy the best crayfish in New York!"
