"I mean, Nicole and Norah had so many old grudges.Wouldn’t it be awkward if they lived together?"
Daniel saw Gloria did not understand what he meant, so he had to say it frankly.
Gloria was just thinking about Norah and ignoring Nicole, and now she looked over at Nicole.
"If Norah comes back, you’ll forget the past, won’t you?"
Seeing that Gloria was determined to get Norah back, Nicole knew that further discouragement would
only upset her.
"As long as she doesn’t pick a fight with me, I won’t bother with her.But if she does, I won’t let her off so
easily.I’m tired and going up to rest first."
With that, Nicole went straight upstairs.
Gloria did not expect Nicole to remain so adamant.
After Nicole left, Daniel said to Gloria, "I know you can’t bear to see Norah suffer, but Nicole is our
biological daughter.How would Nicole feel if you put them both under the same roof?"
Gloria looked at Daniel and was silent.
"Just think about it."
With that, Daniel also went upstairs, leaving Gloria alone, sitting on the sofa and lost in thought in the
living room.
The next day, Martin called Joyce.
"Hello, it’s Martin."
"You finally contacted me after all this time."
"Shall we meet?"
There was no warmth in Martin’s voice.
"Sure.I will see you at Blue Whale Restaurant then." Joyce hung up the phone.
After a quick cleanup, Martin drove to Blue Whale Restaurant.He picked a seat by the window and sat
down.
"Shall I take your order now, sir?" The waiter asked Martin.
"Just a minute, I’m waiting for… a friend." He was not even sure how to define their relationship right
now.
Joyce walked slowly in her high heels toward Martin’s position.
Seeing Joyce’s face, Martin did not stand up but watched as she sat down.
"Long time no see."
In the end, he spoke first to say hello.
"Yeah, it’s been a long time."
Joyce looked much more refined now than when she was working with Martin.
"You’ve changed quite a bit."
Martin looked at Joyce, who looked more like a fine, graceful lady.
"You have changed little."
"You do know why I’m looking for you, don’t you?"
Martin’s eyes burned into her.
Joyce paused for half a second and sneered.
"How would I know why you were looking for me?"
"The results of my experiment were stolen." Martin watched the change in her expression..
"If they get stolen, call the police.I’m not a cop." Joyce sneered.
Martin saw she had no intention of admitting it and said straight away, "You took it, didn’t you?"
She did not expect Martin to have traced it to her, and there was a fleeting guilty look in her eyes.
"Where is the evidence? You could go to jail for slander."
"Just admit it.I saw it all on the surveillance footage."
Martin could no longer suppress his inner rage, and his bloodshot eyes stared at her viciously.
"Surveillance footage? Where is it? Let me take a look, too."
Joyce slyly argued without blushing.She did not even know when she could face Martin so calmly.
