Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 921

Nora didn't hang up but asked, "Who is she?"

Ian kept quiet for a while. "I can't say it over the phone."

This was because he feared that someone could be monitoring their cell phones. Even if Nora was Q, the top hacker in the world, there was no guarantee that no one would be monitoring them. Moreover, even if Nora could guarantee that her cell phone wouldn't be hacked, could they guarantee the same for Ian?

Not only was she in another country, but the phone call was also an international long-distance one. Could she guarantee that the international communications signal would not be hacked?

Nora could only nod and say, "Alright, I'll pick you up in eight hours."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Nora sank into contemplation for a long while.

At this point, Queenie came down the stairs drunkenly and asked, "How are things with Barbarian?"

Brenda had wholly taken over the task of arresting Barbarian. The Queen was still unable to accept the fact that he was a murderer, so she had chosen to remain silent on the matter.

Nora sighed. "Barbarian indeed lives up to his name of being the embodiment of the human limits. Despite the intensive attempts to catch him, he still managed to escape... He's nowhere to be found now."

Queenie nodded. Suddenly, she asked, "Was that Ian Smith calling just now?"

Nora nodded, surprised by her perceptivity. In order to avoid people eavesdropping on her phone calls, her cell phone's volume was set very low. Even so, she'd still heard them?

Seemingly noticing her puzzled look, Queenie smiled and said, "You called him 'Dad'."

"... Really?"

Nora became doubtful instead.

As it easily exposed the other party's identity, she rarely greeted someone by name immediately after answering the phone, unless she was in a very safe place and the other party's identity was not a sensitive one.

Queenie didn't plan on speaking any further, though. Instead, she swirled the wine in her glass.

Her delicate face was ruddy, and her cheeks were already red.

She said, "In that case, I'll go upstairs to rest for now..."

She had only taken a couple of steps when Cherry grabbed her. She said, "Grandaunt Queenie, are you going to drink again? Don't drink anymore. Come and play with Cherry instead! It's been really long since we last played together."

Queenie raised her eyebrows. "Do you actually remember your grandaunt's existence when your father, whom you've been thinking of this whole time, is already here?"

Cherry grinned and pushed Justin toward Nora. "But I can't hog Daddy. He ought to spend more time with

Mommy too. Besides, they may have a lot to talk about!"

After all, Pete had said that they should let their parents bond with each other so that they wouldn't separate in the future. This way, the triplets would be together forever!

Therefore, even though she really loved her father, she'd better still leave him to her mother instead!

Displeasure filled Queenie's expression. "Are you only looking for me because your dad is not around? I'm not going to be your backup plan..."
