Come on Daddy!

Chapter 408 Why Don't We Be a Real Couple?

Oca did not soften. He insisted on his own way and ideas.

"Hazel, you know I am always strict about my work. I will do everything well before I work. And I can't bring my assistant to the wedding this time. So, I need to do everything by myself. I have to get ready for the meeting in this hour, you know." Hearing "you know" from Oca, Hazel had to restrain her temper.

"I know. I'm just trying to get some more time with you. Since you don't have time, I won't force you." Hazel knew what Oca's bottom line was. So, she could only give in, "Since you don't have anyone to help you, why don't I help you with the preparation for the meeting?"

"I think what you need most right now is to get some rest." Oca put his hands on her shoulders, "I can do these things myself."

"Okay then. You owe me one. Next time, you have to spend twice as much time with me." There were reluctance and tenderness in Hazel's eyes. She instructed him, "But don't work too hard, or I will feel distressed. Call me if you need anything. I'm at your disposal."

In fact, he didn't want to have a meeting so late. After all, there was a time difference between Country M and Country Z.

So, when he stayed in Country Z, he needed to work harder than usual.

"Okay." Oca nodded and agreed, "Then go in."

When Oca was unprepared, Hazel took advantage and suddenly approached him and kissed him on his cheek. Then, she quickly turned around and left.

Oca stood there and looked at the door she had hastily closed with dark eyes. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Oca returned to his room. He first went to the bathroom to wash his face and then dried it off.

He stared at himself in the mirror as he wiped his face, his eyes getting colder.

It was obvious that Hazel loved him. He knew all about her wanting the relationship to go further. But he didn't like too much intimacy with her.

He didn't know why he resisted.

In fact, Hazel's family background, looks, and abilities matched him perfectly. They were a good match.

Hazel's family was also well-known and influential in Country Z. If he wanted to develop his career in Country Z. he could reach his expected goal faster through the influence of the Way family.

He also felt that they should be the best match.

That was why he agreed to go out with Hazel. He just thought they were suitable, not considering his personal feelings.

And he didn't think personal feelings were important to him.

Oca turned and walked out of the bathroom and began to make preparations for the meeting.

Such a quiet night was his favorite. He could be free of distractions.

On the other hand, Alan chased Nora into the door. Nora ignored him and went in the direction of the second floor.

Seeing that Nora was ignoring him, Alan stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

Nora looked back at Alan's hand clasping her wrist and frowned. She tried to shake his hand, but failed, "Let go."

"What's wrong with you today? What happened?" Alan did not let go. Instead, he held her tighter, "I just care about you. You do not need to talk like that, do you?"

Nora didn't know why she was particularly irritated and unable to calm down.

"I don't want to argue with you." Nora took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Me too." Alan thought the same as her, "Nora, why can't we just calm down if we have something to say?"

Nora was silent, not answering.

"I know you're an adult. But you're my wife. As your husband, I have an obligation to care about you." Alan made his identity and attitude clear.

But Nora retorted, "Alan, we are just a fake couple. There is no one else here. You don't have to pretend it. Let go of me. I'm going to bed."

"You want to go to bed? Okay." Alan said and picked Nora up.

Nora was startled by his sudden action and instinctively wrapped her arms around Alan's neck, "Put me down."

"You must be tired after such a long walk along the beach. I'll carry you up to bed." Alan headed upstairs to the bedroom.

He didn't leave until he put Nora on the big soft bed. Instead, he grabbed her fingers with both hands and pressed her down, looking directly into Nora's eyes from above.

They were so close that they could see each other's eyelashes clearly.

"Alan..." Nora felt that there was something wrong with Alan today. But she couldn't say it clearly.

For example, the way he looked at her seemed different, and the way he spoke was different. He even broke the distance between them... In short, something was wrong.

Alan had never been so close to her as he was today, which had exceeded the distance they should have kept.

Alan only smiled, lowered his head, and lightly sniffed the fragrance of her skin on the neck, enjoying her smell.

Nora, however, twisted her head, trying to move away from Alan, but could not avoid him.

"Alan, you... what do you want?" Nora was so nervous that she stammered. She even looked down on herself.

"Didn't you say we were a fake couple? Why don't we be a real couple tonight? We can enjoy our wedding night we should have enjoyed five years ago. You can also have a good night like your best friend on the same day."

Alan smiled more softly. He stared straight at Nora. It seemed to be a request, or a desire.

Hearing this, Nora widened her beautiful almond-like eyes and was surprised that Alan would say such a thing.

Did he not know the consequences of saying such a thing?

How could they get along in the future?

"Alan, do you know what you are saying? Are you drunk?" Nora frowned and questioned him in a serious tone.

Alan answered her seriously, "I'm not drunk. I'm sober."

"Then you..."

"Nora, I want you to be my real wife, okay?" there was a deep desire in Alan's eyes.

"I think you are very drunk! Don't be kidding!" Nora tried hard to break away from his hands that were grabbing both her wrists, "It's not too late for you to let go of me now. I'll pretend you didn't say anything just now.

We're still the best partners. Otherwise, I will be angry. We don't even have to be a fake couple. We even cannot be friends and can only be strangers."

The insistence and seriousness in Nora's eyes showed that he was absolutely not joking.

Alan, however, laughed out loud.
