Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It seemed to be… who?

Jenny was halfway through her sentence, as if she’d deliberately left Noah to guess.

Noah’s expression suddenly darkened, and his face was expressionless and his tone was cold. “Jenny, what do you want?”

Jenny froze, but before she could say anything,

Noah narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Are you trying to sow discord between Mia and me? Who gave you the guts to spread rumors?”

Instantly, Jenny felt the atmosphere around her change.

Noah’s oppressive aura started to press down on Jenny. Jenny felt nervous. Under Noah’s strong aura, Jenny’s expression started to change. Could it be that her information had been transmitted wrongly? Actually, Noah had a very good relationship with his wife, and it was not like what the rumors, Jenny looked at Noah’s expression and thought anxiously.

Then she would have to change her strategy quickly, Jenny thought. She was about to explain to Noah when she tilted her head and saw Noah’s clenched hands by his side.

Jenny reacted quickly. So that was it. Noah was trying to act tought. He was trying to hide his nervousness. “I knew it. How could any man hear that his wife might have been taken to a private rendezvous by someone else and look like he didn’t care?” Jenny was pleased with herself, but she couldn’t let Noah know, so she had to keep up the pretense.

Jenny thought for a moment, then stood up slightly and revealed a harmless smile. “I’m sorry, CEO Noah. Perhaps I didn’t consider it carefully. I really didn’t mean anything else. Madam Mia is definitely not such a person. At that time… I was probably mistaken.” Jenny deliberately paused.

After she finished speaking, Jenny saw that Noah still had no reaction and knew that she could not push him too hard. Anyway, she had already achieved her goal for today. Regardless of whether Noah believed her or not, this seed had already been planted. As for the “medicine”…she would do it again and again.

Then, Jenny stood up and bade Noah goodbye.

Noah sent Jenny to the door and came back nonchalantly.

After entering the living room, Noah began to think about how when he saw Jenny coming to the house today, he was worried that Mia might come downstairs and see her. That would make it even harder for him to explain himself. But he didn’t expect Mia to not come down at all.

Did she not want to see him that badly? Noah thought.

Noah did not really believe in what Jenny had just said, but after seeing Mia’s attitude and their recent communication, Mia was avoiding him even when he was seeking pleasure. Was there really someone else, so she wanted to divorce him?

The more Noah thought about it, the angrier he felt about being betrayed. Right now, he wanted to go upstairs and ask Mia about the situation. Thinking about this, Noah did as he was told.

He quickly walked upstairs and pushed open the door to the guest room. Surprisingly, the door was not locked today. Noah pushed it open immediately and was rather surprised.

When they entered the room, the lights were dim and the curtains were tightly drawn.

Noah saw Mia sleeping on the bed as he walked in. The blanket covered her chest slightly, and her long curly hair was scattered on the bed. Her small and delicate face was red, especially her eyes, which were slightly swollen from crying earlier. She looked even more delicate, and it reminded Noah of Mia crying in the hospital today. She was so helpless and weak.

Noah knew how important his grandfather was to Mia. Back then, the excuse that he used when he didn’t agree to move out when Mia brought up the divorce was his grandfather. But now, his grandfather’s situation was getting worse and worse. He didn’t know how much longer he could last. Thinking of this, Noah couldn’t help but reach out and touch Mia’s cheeks and forehead.

Noah wanted to pinch Mia’s earlobe again, but Mia woke up with a start.

Mia did not expect to see Noah the moment she opened her eyes. She subconsciously hid under the blanket in a hurry and wanted to cover her stomach. After all, her clothes were thin now.

However, just as she hid under the blanket, Mia regretted it again. Why did she want to hide under the blanket? If Noah wanted to lift up her blanket, it would be useless no matter where she hid. Furthermore, Noah’s expression did not look too good now. Her actions seemed to have agitated Noah, Mia realized.

Seeing Mia’s avoidance made Noah angry all of a sudden. Jenny’s words from earlier were still ringing in his ears. Now that he saw Mia’s actions, Noah immediately thought of that man. “How dare he hug his woman? He was really too big for his britches,” Noah thought sinisterly.

Then, his hands did not stop moving. With a swoosh, Noah reached out and pulled away the blanket on Mia’s body. Then, he said slowly and coldly, “Are you avoiding me again?”

When Mia saw Noah like this, her body instinctively sensed danger and began to tremble as she hurriedly explained, “No, I didn’t try to avoid you.”

Liar!

She was simply avoiding him!

But…

Mia’s actions exposed her inner thoughts. She was afraid of him.

“Are you afraid of me?” Noah asked quietly.

Mia’s eyelids twitched. She was afraid that she would say something wrong from saying too much, so she didn’t refute anymore.

Noah stood by Mia’s bed and looked at her silent appearance while feeling even more unhappy.

So Noah suddenly leaned forward, and under Mia’s horrified gaze, he braced one arm on the mattress, instantly closing the distance between them..
