The man in front of her was gentle and mild-mannered.
His eyes were slightly upturned and he looked rather polite.However, the way he was speaking
sounded a little strange.
Nora found his question rather ridiculous.
This was only the second time they were meeting, yet he was already starting to take note of her
private life? Even though she found him rather likable, she nevertheless couldn’t be bothered to talk
to him about such things.
She raised her brows slightly and said coldly, “It seems like you’re minding more than just your own
business, Mr.Smith?”
She’d had a pretty good impression of him when she first met him back then.
However, when she realized that his wife was the one who was bullying Tanya, Nora couldn’t be
bothered to be civil with him anymore.
She left straightaway.
Joel broke into a frown as he stared at her from the back.
He couldn’t help but go after her and say, “Ms.Smith, allow me to remind you that Mr.Hunt already
has a child!”
Nora: “???”
She looked back and raised an eyebrow.
“So?”
After a long silence, Joel finally smiled bitterly and said, “As far as I understand, Mr.Hunt intends to
marry the child’s mother.It doesn’t seem like a good idea for you to get in between them like that”
“The child’s mother?”
“Yes, that’s right.The child ultimately still needs a mother…” said Joel with some difficulty.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack then, it was exactly because he felt that Mia needed a mother—as well as the fact that he
didn’t intend to remarry—that he had allowed Hillary to move in.
Now that he thought about it again though, that wasn’t true at all.
At the sight of Joel in such an internal struggle, something seemed to click in Nora’s mind.
The corners of her lips curled upward as she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Is the child’s mother
whom you’re referring to, Tanya?”
From the look of it, Nora also knew of Tanya’s existence.
Joel nodded.
“Yes, that’s right.”
If Nora became close to Justin, going by Tanya’s character , she would definitely be sad, right? Or
perhaps she would compromise for the child’s sake? Therefore, the best solution was to have Nora
take the initiative to withdraw from the relationship.
This way, he would also be fulfilling Tanya’s wishes somewhat, right? A wave of irritability surged up
within Joel.
Going by his character, he’d rather drag Tanya back with him and keep her by his side.
Just like what he had done back then…
But he knew Tanya too well.
That woman would never allow herself to be controlled by him.
He looked at Nora and said, “As long as you’re willing to leave Justin Hunt, I can fulfill one of your
wishes for you”
Nora: ‘’???”
She suddenly smiled and said, “You’re going to make me misunderstand something if you do that,
Mr.Smith” Joel’s heart sank.
If she found out that Tanya used to be involved with him and told Justin about it, Tanya would
probably have a hard time in the future.
Joel’s expression turned a little cold.
Just as he was deep in thought, he heard the girl’s cool and crisp voice.
“Are you interested in Mr.Hunt, Mr.Smith?”
Joel: “???”
“If so, I’m willing to pull out from the relationship and fulfill the two of you.”
Nora’s bright and clear eyes were full of mirth as she took in Joel’s facial expression, which looked
as if it was about to crack.
Then, she walked around him and headed to the car park.
That guy must have misunderstood Tanya, right? Yet, in spite of that, he was still willing to go to that
extent for her.
Not bad.
After Nora took a few steps forward, the man at the back came after her again.
After seemingly letting out a sigh, he said in resignation, “Even though you didn’t agree to my
request, I can still fulfill one of your wishes for you, Ms.Smith”
Nora was a little taken aback.
“Why?”
Since he hadn’t allowed her to treat lan’s illness, then that meant they must still harbor resentment
toward the Andersons.
What was Joel suddenly approaching her for? Joel, however, stared at her for a while before he
slowly replied, “It’s because you’ve done me a favor’ Nora was puzzled.
“What favor did I do for you?”
However, Joel didn’t explain any further.
He took a step back and said, “I’m a man of my word.Goodbye’’ Nora was rendered speechless.
Joel went upstairs after that.

As he hadn’t slept a wink the previous night, he rested sleepily on the sofa in lan’s ward and closed
his eyes.
His executive assistant-cum-bodyguard, who had been with Joel the whole time, couldn’t stop
himself from asking, “Has Ms.Smith helped you out in some way, Mr.Smith?”
Joel opened his eyes.
The deep look in his eyes made people unable to guess what he was thinking.
He glanced at lan on the bed and slowly replied, “Of course.She saved Uncle lan’s life.”
The executive assistant: “???”
He was confused by Joel’s reply.
Wasn’t Tina York the one who saved Mr.lan? Why did it suddenly become Ms.
Smith instead? However, Joel clearly didn’t have any intentions of explaining any further, so he
simply shut up.
After resting for a while, Joel finally instructed, “Find Anti.”
The assistant nodded.
“We’ve already started investigating Anti’s whereabouts last night, but we couldn ‘t find anything so
far.We’ve also put up a reward for his whereabouts in international forums.So far, what we’ve found
out is that Anti once treated the elderly Mrs.Hunt in the past.It seemed like Justin Hunt was the one
who found him that time’
At the mention of Justin, a competitive look appeared in Joel’s eyes and he said coldly, “Do you
think I can’t find someone that Justin Hunt could?”
All the warmth and mildness around Joel disappeared in this instant, and his entire self seemed to
be dyed with a layer of black, making him look like a demon from hell itself.
At this point, they heard slight movement at the bed.
Joel, who had sensed it right away, hurried over.
Sure enough, he saw lan slowly opening his eyes.
