Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 836

While Nora was wondering about it curiously, Caleb coughed and said, "Forget it, I won't say it anymore."

The corners of Nora's lips spasmed a little and she suspected that Caleb was playing her for a fool.

Seemingly sensing her displeasure, Caleb chuckled lowly and said, "I really can't bring myself to say it. If I ever see you again in this lifetime, I will tell you in person."

Caleb had returned to the mysterious organization this time as the special department's spy.

He only had two months left to live.

In fact, if his lung cancer worsened, he might not even have two months.

Therefore, he didn't know when he would be able to return to America and see Nora again.

Nora realized what he meant, so she said, "We will meet for sure."

"Hopefully."

Caleb was about to speak again when a shrill voice suddenly came from the far end of the phone. "Who are you calling, hiding here?"

It was Trueman!

Nora frowned, worried about Caleb.

"No one in particular." Caleb's voice was calm and he didn't seem to be nervous at all.

"Oh? Heh, show me!"

The sound of people fighting over the phone came from the other side. Caleb said anxiously, "Give me back the phone!"

Trueman scoffed. "Am I not allowed to know who you're on the phone with? I'm going to see what you're doing behind my back!"

After that, Trueman must have looked at the phone and seen her name, because he sneered and said, "My little servant?"

Nora ignored him but Trueman said with a sneer, "Oh my, I didn't expect you two to keep in contact even after you've separated. Why? Is my little servant interested in my little sidekick? Or..."

His voice suddenly turned frosty."... has my little sidekick betrayed me? And turned to you guys?"

Nora wanted to make up an excuse but before she could speak, Caleb sighed and said, "She was just asking me a few personal questions."

"What kind of questions?" Trueman was pushy and aggressive. "And personal ones at that? Ha, are the two of you even that close?"

Seeing this, Nora did not speak.

Caleb continued speaking in an even-tempered manner. He said, "She was asking me about the five people who survived back then and what they are like. She wants to find Barbarian and avenge Justin."

His story seemed to have convinced Trueman.

He scoffed and said, "My little servant, you want to seek revenge? I'd advise you not to fantasize about that! It's impossible for you to contend with Barbarian when you only have a normal person's strength!"

After he spoke, he asked, "Did you tell her what Barbarian's genetic modification is?"

Caleb replied, "Yeah, I did."

Trueman uttered an "oh" and then asked, "And Listener and Spacey's?"

"I told her."

"Tsk." Trueman smacked his lips softly and remarked, "You sure tell her everything you know! Do you like her that much?"

Nora was a little taken aback to hear this.

She looked at the phone in astonishment, upon which she heard Caleb's prompt rejection. "Don't talk nonsense, she and I are just friends."

Trueman scoffed. "Just friends? From when we were children all the way till now, I have never seen you care so much about any friend. Caleb, don't forget who you are! Do you have any right to be in love with someone?"

Nora slowly frowned.

Caleb was in love with her?

How could this be? How few times in total have they met?

She was about to speak when Caleb denied it. "I don't, I know very well who I am. I just feel guilty towards Ms. Smith, that's all! After all, the Grays didn't manage to protect her back then."

Trueman scoffed again. "You say one thing but mean another. You're really very dull. You are already about to die yet you still don't have the courage to express your feelings’"

Caleb had really panicked this time. "Trueman, shut up!"
