Chapter 843 Gabriel Sent You a Message
Her words pleased Aaron greatly.
He leaned down and kissed Nora's lips. "Honey, can you be a little dumber, a little less smart?"
Nora's eyes curved into a smile. "If I really became like that, would you still like me?"
"Of course, no matter what kind of person you become, I will always like you."
Sweet words were always touching.
Nora closed her eyes and kissed Aaron back until she felt a change in Aaron's lower body, and she quickly pulled away.
"Alright, stop."
Aaron held her tightly, his breath slightly heavy. He deeply inhaled Nora's unique scent, trying to calm himself.
Back at the hotel, as soon as Aaron entered the room, he couldn't wait to press Nora against the door and kiss her passionately.
They hadn't seen each other for five or six days.
Just as they were about to get intimate, Nora's phone rang.
"Aaron, my phone is ringing."
Nora's clothes were torn open, revealing her fair, rounded shoulder.
"Ignore it."
Aaron continued kissing her.
But Nora's phone kept ringing.
"It might be James; maybe there's some news."
Nora dodged a bit. She was afraid that James might have news about Millie, and didn't want to miss it.
Aaron took a deep breath, trying to suppress his desire, and held Nora as they sat on the couch.
Then he picked up her phone.
It showed a call from the kindergarten teacher.
Nora's face changed slightly, saying, "Could something have happened to Billy and Samantha?"
She quickly answered the call, and Aaron put it on speaker.
"Hello?"
"Mommy, have you found Millie?"
It was Billy's voice.
It seemed he was thinking about Millie and used the teacher's phone to call her.
Nora breathed a slight sigh of relief. "We already know where Millie is. Although we haven't seen her yet, we can guarantee she's safe now, so don't worry."
Billy said, "I heard from Alex that Millie was taken away by her grandfather, right?"
"Yes."
Billy was silent for a moment and asked, "Does that mean her grandfather won't let us adopt Millie anymore?"
Nora didn't lie to him. "It seems that way, but don't worry, Daddy and I will do everything we can to bring Millie back."
Billy responded with a hum, then added, "Mommy, Hchilia is Millie's hometown. Do you think she might not want to come back?"
Hearing this, Nora and Aaron exchanged a glance.
To be honest, they hadn't thought about this issue.
They had always believed that Millie was forcibly taken away by Nathan and that Millie would definitely want to come home with them.
But they forgot that this was where Millie was born.
Facing a group of people who looked like her, and someone who resembled her biological mother, would Millie settle down and not want to go back with them?
At this moment, in Hugo's villa.
Millie, whom Billy was thinking about, was already asleep.
Her small hand was still tightly clutching Jasmine's clothes, showing a dependent look.
The door was gently pushed open, and Hugo walked in.
"Mr. Rochet."
Jasmine quickly sat up, trying to remove Millie's hand.
"Don't move her."
Hugo signaled Jasmine not to move, then walked to the bedside and asked, "Is Millie asleep?"
"Yes, I just put her to sleep," Jasmine replied softly.
Hugo nodded in satisfaction and asked, "She didn't cry and say she wanted to go home?"
"No."
Jasmine looked at Hugo with admiration in her eyes.
"Mr. Rochet, you were wise to make me look like Emmeline. Millie now probably sees me as a substitute for her mother."
Hugo smiled slightly, enjoying her praise.
"Take good care of her, and I won't treat you badly."
"Yes."
Seeing Hugo about to leave, Jasmine quickly removed Millie's hand and got up to hug Hugo from behind.
"Tonight, won't you stay with me and Millie?"
Hugo raised an eyebrow and turned to see Jasmine with her clothes half undone and a seductive look on her face. He lifted her chin and examined her closely.
"I'm still not used to this face of yours. Not tonight. Take good care of Millie. Let me get used to it first."
Jasmine was his mistress.
Because Hugo wanted to bring Millie back, he had Jasmine undergo plastic surgery to look like Emmeline.
Emmeline was Stov's wife. Although he wasn't a well-behaved person, he wasn't depraved enough to covet his sister-in-law.
Even though Jasmine wasn't really Emmeline, he still felt a sense of guilt being with her now.
He would wait a while before doing anything.
Hugo pushed Jasmine away and left the room.
Jasmine watched the door close, her smile fading slightly.
She touched her abdomen, her eyes flickering with a cold light.
She was disappointed in herself.
If she were pregnant with Hugo's child, she wouldn't need plastic surgery.
And she wouldn't have to raise someone else's daughter!
Looking at the sleeping Millie on the bed, a trace of annoyance flashed in Jasmine's eyes.
The next day.
In the hotel.
Nora was half-asleep when she vaguely heard a message notification on her phone.
Worried that it might be a message from James about Millie, Nora woke up as soon as she heard the notification.
Half-squinting, she reached for her phone and took a look.
The phone was quiet, with no new messages.
But she had clearly heard it just now.
A trace of doubt flashed in Nora's eyes.
Her gaze swept over Aaron's phone beside her, thinking it might be a message for him.
She picked it up and glanced at it, seeing an unread message.
Gabriella: [Mr. Gordon, are you up?]
Nora's drowsy mind instantly cleared.
Because she saw the sender's name.
Gabriella.
This was the woman she and Aaron had discussed last night.
Nora sat up and looked at the time.
It was not yet seven in the morning local time.
This Gabriella was texting Aaron so early.
She seemed truly interested in him.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Aaron was washing up.
Nora blinked, thinking about snooping on Aaron's Facebook to see if he had any other interactions with Gabriella.
But then she thought, 'Aaron wasn't stupid. Even if he had unusual interactions with other women, he wouldn't leave evidence for me to find.'
'Besides, snooping on someone's privacy wasn't polite.'
Before long, Aaron came out.
He had only a towel wrapped around his waist, revealing a large expanse of well-defined, sexy skin.
Seeing Nora awake and staring at his phone in a daze, Aaron tossed the towel aside, walked to the bed, and leaned down to kiss her.
"Honey, why are you up so early?"
Nora waved the phone in her hand and said, "Your friend is asking if you're up."
Aaron raised an eyebrow and asked, "What friend?"
"See for yourself."
Aaron took the phone and glanced at it. After reading it, he ignored Gabriella and tossed the phone aside.
Seeing Nora looking at him, Aaron chuckled, leaned down, and kissed the corner of her lips.
"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
