Chapter 927 Second Chances and Familiar Faces (1/2)

James's eyes widened in surprise as Nora suddenly asked for truce with him.

He could not help but stifle a laugh and asked in disbelief, ”Are you kidding me?”

”I am serious! I meant what I said. After you broke up with me, all I had left was to think about you, and you know what I realized? Of all the men I have dated before, you are the richest among them and the one who took care of me the most,” Nora replied. Her face was filled with sincerity.

Even though Nora showed no sign of deceit, Jean's mind was immediately filled with a string of question marks. 'Did she just compliment James right now? Was that really a compliment though? Did she really think about what she just said, or does she not have a brain?' she thought to herself as she was lying on the sickbed.

”Oh, really? Then, what did you think of the man you slept with in J Hotel that day, huh? Was he not caring enough for you?” James asked blandly. He looked at Nora as if her standing here made her look ridiculous, more now that what she said sounded like a joke.

”Oh no, not at all. He can only hold out for five minutes. Imagine, five minutes! How can I still stay with him?” Nora shook her head as she replied.

Hearing Nora's words made James's face turn bright red. He took a glance at Jean in embarrassment and felt ultimately awkward to talk about this kind of topic in front of Jean, so he grabbed Nora's arm and led her out of the room. ”Let's talk outside, shall we?”

Nora nodded in assent even though James could not see her. She turned to Jean and back to James before pouting and remarked, ”James, you are too strong for a fragile woman like her. It's been nearly two hours, and it's almost more than she can bear. I am the woman suited for you best, so please come back to my life, okay?”

James turned more red and wondered whether Jean heard that. He immediately clamped over Nora's mouth as he snapped at her. ”Enough! Can you just please stop talking even for a minute?” Annoyance just filled James as he quickly pushed Nora out of the room, closing the door behind them.

Then, he let go of Nora and stared at her depressingly and with pity.

He brushed his hand through his hair in frustration before turning to face Nora. ”First of all, let's make things clear. I do not have any plans of patching up anything with you. We are not compatible, do you hear me? To be really honest, I now think that it was a stupid deci

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
