Chapter 714 Addicted to Her Lips
Howard kissed her!
Evella widened her eyes, feeling the man's breath enveloping her, unconsciously pulling his clothes tighter.
There were chefs around cooking, wide-eyed at the scene.
One of them even accidentally got his hand burned by the edge of the pot and couldn't help but cry out.
Samuel paused, quickly looked away, and patted the chef's head.
"What are you yelling for? How could you be that foolish, getting burned while cooking?"
The young chef shrank back, holding his burned hand, looking frustrated.
He was taken aback.
Who would have thought that Howard, who seemed gentle and refined on the surface, would be so unrestrained!
He kissed her in public!
Evella's thoughts seemed to freeze as her body softened from the kiss.
It was only when she heard the conversation between the chef and Samuel that she suddenly snapped out of his kiss.
Evella quickly pushed Howard away, her face blushing like she had applied blush, her beautiful watery eyes constantly shifting, full of shyness.
"Howard, what are you doing? Do you want to learn how to cook or not?"
This was so embarrassing!
How could Howard kiss her here?
Evella's face turned red, Howard's Adam's apple slightly bobbing, clearly not having enough.
"I want to learn."
No, Howard didn't want to learn how to cook now. He just wanted to kiss Evella!
It was said that a man who made love to his partner would become hopelessly addicted to the act.
He hadn't gone that far yet, but he was already helplessly hooked on Evella's kisses!
"Then you better hurry up. I'll punish you after we finish!" Evella scolded him playfully.
Howard's voice was a bit hoarse. "Okay, as punishment, I will serve you well."
His gaze lingered on Evella's red lips, with a hint of ambiguous meaning.
Evella felt several pairs of eyes staring at her intensely, making her want to find a hole to hide in.
"Howard, if you keep talking nonsense, I'm leaving. You'll end up embarrassing yourself in front of Dad and Joseph."
Seeing Evella truly annoyed, Howard quickly grabbed her hand. "Alright, let's stop fooling around. Teacher, please teach me more."
"You better hurry up and wash the dishes."
"Okay."
Nora returned to Whispering Pines Manor.
Aaron hadn't come home yet, so she went upstairs to freshen up first.
After she finished freshening up, she received a call from Richard.
Why would Richard call her Late at night?
Was Richard calling to ask about Evella's situation because Howard had taken Evella away?
Nora speculated silently and answered the call.
"Richard, what's up?"
"Yes, Dr. Smith, there's something I've been thinking about, and I wanted to ask you."
Richard's voice seemed a bit hesitant.
"What is it?"
"You're a doctor, so you should be able to tell if someone has had plastic surgery, right?"
Nora was slightly taken aback. "Well, I'm not a plastic surgeon. If the person has had surgery by a skilled plastic surgeon, to be honest, I may not be able to accurately tell if they've had plastic surgery."
Just like with Jackson before, she didn't immediately realize that Jackson had been made to look like Aaron.
Why was Richard suddenly asking this?
There was a moment of silence from Richard before he said, "You just had dinner with Joseph, did you notice anything off about his face?"
Nora was taken aback again, trying to recall, and replied truthfully, "No, I didn't. Why, Richard? Do you think something's off about Joseph?"
Richard said, "It's a feeling I can't quite explain. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I feel like there's been a significant change in Joseph after he disappeared for a few days."
Nora's eyes flickered. "Richard, do you suspect that this Joseph isn't the real Joseph?"
Richard fell silent for a moment, then said, "I hope I'm just overthinking it."
A wave of unease washed over Nora, and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "In that case, my brother just bought a plastic surgery hospital. I'll find a trustworthy plastic surgeon tomorrow to meet Joseph secretly and have them identify him. What do you think?"
"That would be great." Richard expressed his gratitude.
Nora thought for a moment and added, "I'll also inform Alex of the situation and have the intelligence agency continue to investigate the days when Joseph went missing."
"Great, Dr. Smith, thank you." Richard thanked her again.
Nora smiled. "We're about to become family, Richard. No need to be so formal."
Richard chuckled. "Dr. Smith, please keep this confidential until we figure things out. Don't spread it around."
Nora reassured him. "Don't worry, I got it."
They didn't say much more and hung up the phone.
Nora held her phone, lost in thought.
Something was off about Joseph.
She thought back to the scene during dinner.
That Joseph did seem a bit strange.
Although Nora had only interacted with Joseph twice, he seemed to exude a scary aura this time.
This Joseph might really be an imposter.
A shiver ran down Nora's spine inexplicably.
She rubbed her arms, her expression slightly chilled.
The Bilian Group was also a large conglomerate, now under Joseph's responsibility.
If that person was indeed a fake Joseph, it would be similar to Aaron's situation.
Someone wanted to replace the real Joseph with a puppet they could control at will!
Why were there so many deceitful people in this world?
Everyone was living and working peacefully.
'Why can't they stop fighting for power and profit?' Nora muttered to herself, preparing to call Alex and inform him.
She checked the time, and it was already past nine. She wondered if Alex was asleep.
After a moment of thought, she decided to call Noe first.
The phone rang twice and was quickly answered.
"Hello?"
It was a woman's voice.
Nora was taken aback, blinked, and tentatively asked, "Are you Seraphina Everhart?"
"Yes, Dr. Smith, it's me."
It really was Seraphina who answered the phone!
Nora grabbed a pillow from the sofa and held it in her arms, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"Seraphina Everhart, why are you the one answering Noe's phone? Are you with him?"
At night, a man and a woman were alone in a room.
"Yes, he's teaching me a course. He just went to the bathroom."
Seraphina's gentle voice came through the phone.
Nora paused her thoughts, recalling what Aaron had told her before, that Noe was indeed teaching Seraphina a course.
With this story, they became acquainted.
Would they take the next step?
She felt that given time, Aaron might have to give his good subordinate Noe some time off for a honeymoon!
"Dr. Smith, are you still there?"
Seraphina didn't hear Nora speak and asked.
Nora snapped back, clearing her throat. "I'm here."
"If you need to speak to Noe, should I pass on the message or wait for him to come out?" Seraphina asked.
"I'll wait for him to come out."
"Alright, should I hang up then?"
"No, let's chat for a few minutes."
