Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 905

Justin leaned over right up to Nora and whispered, "The Queen Mother."

Nora raised her brows. What? Was the Queen Mother still alive?

Justin nodded.

Nora was puzzled. "Then why was the throne ceded to the Queen?"

Justin replied, "The Queen Mother abdicated over ten years ago and has retreated behind the scenes. She's gotten on in her years and must be already at least 70 years old now. The Queen is her youngest daughter."

Everything clicked in Nora's head now.

That made sense. Only members of the royal family would be able to build an enormous laboratory in Buckingham Palace basement.

"This is just my theory, and I don't have any direct evidence yet, but I should think that one's greatest wish after they age would probably be longevity. Moreover, Trueman's modified genes do indeed have to do with his lifespan. If he manages to get the V16 administered, he would live to at least 200 years old."

Nora sighed. "There are numerous tales of sovereigns seeking the elixir of life in ancient times, and now we have all these things happening too... One's lifespan is predetermined, so why bother going to such lengths?"

Justin put his arm around her shoulder. "You're right. But now that I have you and the children, I'd probably feel that my lifespan is not long enough!"

Nora thought about it and then replied, "Well, that's true."

Justin leaned in closer to her. "Yeah, so I plan to march straight to Buckingham Palace to attack and destroy their base. This way, once the mysterious organization is left with only a few people, it won't pose a threat anymore."

"Got it."

Justin drew even closer to her. "Nora, I..."

But before he could finish, Nora pushed him away and got onto her feet.

"Food's ready," she said.

A servant brought the Beef Wellington in and placed it on the table.

Justin:"..."

The resigned man got up and followed Nora over. After the two sat at the dining table, Nora suddenly asked, "You don't intend to take me with you?"

Justin was a little taken aback when he heard this.

After a moment of silence, he finally replied, "I wasn't planning to. The children are still too young; if something untoward happens to me, I thought at least you'd still be there to take care of them..."

After speaking, he looked at Nora.

He knew that the woman didn't appreciate him trying to protect her, so he didn't know if she would agree to it.

Nora, however, rested her chin on her palm and kept quiet without answering as to whether she was going along or not. She merely looked at him suddenly and asked, "You're not hiding anything else from me, are you?"

"Not at all!" Justin's eyes flickered and he answered firmly, "Really!"

"Okay."

Nora replied indifferently.

Justin:"?"

So, did she agree to it or not?

He didn't dare to ask her about it. He would just make preparations with the assumption that she wasn't going.

After the two finished their dinner, Justin asked her how the children were doing. When he heard that the children were all safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, it was bedtime. Justin looked at her with a smoldering look in his eyes and suggested, "Let's sleep together?"
