Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 974

Nora returned to Xander's room.

At the thought of the disgusting conditions that Trueman had put forward, she felt as if she couldn't breathe.

She hadn't expected Trueman to actually say something like that.

Someone knocked on the door at this point.

Nora turned and looked behind to see the new cook, the one that Harry had just found, walking in.

With her head lowered, the cook gave her an ingratiating smile as soon as she entered, and then said, "I'm here to clear the plates, Miss."

As it turned out, the plates from Xander's meal just now hadn't been cleared yet.

Nora nodded.

The cook had obviously been given a heads-up by Harry, so she did not dare to slight Nora. She came forward and treated Nora as though she was her mistress.

With her head lowered, she walked up to the table. After collecting the plates, she suddenly looked at Nora and asked, "Do you want dessert, Miss? I can make you some."

Nora shook her head. "No need."

The cook lowered her head and laughed. "Alright. Having something sweet will make you feel better, though."

When she said that, Nora was taken aback.

She suddenly looked at the cook.

A while later, she finally got up and said, "You're right. Xander had been tense and scared the whole way here. Let's make some dessert in the kitchen so that he can have some ready when he wakes up."

"Huh? I can just make some by myself and bring it up for you."

"No, it's fine. Let's go."

Nora took the lead while the cook followed behind her holding the plates and cutlery. As soon as the two left the room, sure enough, they saw Trueman leaning against the wall watching them.

A heretical smile hung on the corners of his lips as he said, "Make me some too."

Nora rolled her eyes but did not refuse. "Okay."

"My little servant sure is gaining more and more self-awareness." Trueman smiled. Just as he was about to follow them, Nora suddenly stopped and said, "Trueman, if you follow me everywhere like this, you are going to give me a certain impression."

Trueman was taken aback. "What?"

Nora raised her eyebrows. "You are going to make me think that you're in love with me."

Trueman was instantly dumbfounded. After a whole two seconds, he finally lost his temper and snapped, "No way! You sure think really highly of yourself!"

Nora didn't say anything else but merely raised her eyebrows.

A furious Trueman immediately entered his bedroom at

the side.

Only then did Nora follow the cook downstairs and enter the kitchen.

The cook turned on the stove and boiled some water. Now that there were some sounds in the background, she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "My name is Winnie. Mr. Hunt sent me to help you."

As she spoke, she added some sugar and other ingredients to the pot.

Nora lowered her eyes.

That's right. What the cook said about how having something sweet would make one feel better had allowed Nora to recognize the other party's identity.

Those were Cherry's words.

It was just that Nora suspected that she was being monitored in the room upstairs, so she hadn't dared to take any action. Now that they were in the kitchen and boiling water, with the steam providing the two of them cover, as well as the sound of the exhaust hood running in the kitchen, the two finally dared to converse.

Nora also lowered her voice. "Where is he?"

After Trueman lost his ship, his finances were also sanctioned by King.

His decision to make his way here had been a last-minute one. Additionally, Trueman was also very careful the whole way here, so Nora had thought that Justin would not be able to find them so soon.

But unexpectedly, the man was pretty efficient.

Winnie replied, "He's in the town. I can go out to buy groceries once a day. Mr. Hunt said that once you are ready, he can storm the place with his men any time. Is there any message you would like me to pass on to him? Are you safe at the moment?"
