Chapter 491 Overheard His Secret
The Hansen family's influence is all in Minnalora, and it takes time to come to Aridonia.
But Amara couldn't wait that long.
Just thinking about Isaac going out to find a mistress made her feel restless.
But before she could catch any concrete evidence, she didn't dare to make a fuss.
She was worried that she might have misunderstood and if she made a fuss, she would seem to be unreasonable, which would cause Isaac's dissatisfaction.
She started constantly texting Isaac.
Even if Isaac didn't reply, she kept sending messages enthusiastically.
When Isaac arrived at Nora's house, they had already finished dinner, which was prepared by a hotel chef who came to their home.
But the hotel chef was only responsible for cooking, not for cleaning up the table.
When Isaac arrived, Nora was about to clean up the table.
She could have easily left these chores for the maid to take care of tomorrow, but with summer heat setting in, skipping the cleanup might lead to some unpleasant odors. So, Nora decided to tackle it herself.
Isaac came in and took over immediately.
"You go rest, I'll handle the cleaning."
Nora said, "Let's do it together, it will be faster with both of us."
Isaac pushed her into the living room and made her sit on the sofa, "I can do it alone, don't hurt your hands."
Nora rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.
She was just cleaning up the table, how could she hurt her hands so easily?
Moreover, she could wear gloves while cleaning, which would further prevent any injury.
Isaac bent down, kissed her on the cheek, and chuckled, "Give me a chance to show off, don't compete with me."
Nora remained silent.
Isaac saw her speechless and cute expression, chuckled lightly, and stood up to walk to the dining room.
Nora sighed softly and didn't insist.
She glanced at Magnus and Soren, who were studying nearby, then went to the bedroom to get her laptop to handle some company matters.
The company had already signed a few new talents, and the scripts she provided had been adapted. The company was preparing to cast actors and start filming.
She needed to review the casting, work arrangements, preparation procedures, and costs.
The adapted scripts were also sent to her for confirmation.
When she submitted the scripts, she had requested to review the adapted versions.
She didn't have high demands for other things, but she had very high standards for the scripts.
She not only reviewed the scripts herself but also sent them to Sophia, who was traveling, for feedback.
Besides the entertainment company matters, she recently took an interest in a robot companion project.
As the name suggests, it involved producing life-sized humanoid robots that could chat, do housework, and serve as companions.
The robots' skin material was very close to human skin, and they were to be equipped with a temperature control system to give the skin a human-like temperature.
Nora had already invested in the project, but such research required a lot of funds, and her investment only bought her a 5% stake.
She also provided some of her own suggestions.
She thought that once the technology was fully developed, they could launch a customization service, allowing people to design the robot's face to their liking.
For example, anime enthusiasts could shape the robot's appearance to mirror their favorite character, turning their fantasy of having an anime husband or wife into a reality.
Everyone was very excited and eager to try this idea until someone mentioned the possibility of copyright infringement, so the plan had to be shelved.
They would revisit the idea and negotiate with the copyright holders if the technology advanced and they decided to go down that path.
Nora was immersed in her work when Isaac came over, but she didn't notice.
Isaac didn't disturb her, sitting beside her and taking out his phone to handle some unfinished work.
At nine o'clock, Isaac asked her to take Soren for a bath while he took Magnus.
Nora had to put down her laptop.
After helping Magnus and Soren with their baths, Nora and Isaac put them to bed together.
Nora originally planned to get up and handle some work after Magnus and Soren fell asleep.
But Isaac's knack for soothingl them to sleep was too powerful.
Listening to his deep, magnetic voice telling stories, she also fell asleep drowsily.
Isaac watched the three of them sleep, his voice gradually lowering until it stopped completely.
Seeing them sleep soundly, a gentle look appeared in his eyes, and he felt very content.
If the other child were also with them and they were all healthy, he would be even more satisfied.
Thinking about his two sons' health conditions, Isaac sighed silently.
Suddenly, his phone on the bedside table rang.
He quickly picked up the phone and silenced it.
He glanced at the kids and Nora, and seeing that they hadn't been woken up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked down at his phone and saw that it was Amara calling.
Isaac's face darkened.
He hung up without hesitation.
But soon, the phone rang again.
Isaac felt a bit impatient.
But thinking about the baby in Amara's belly, the only hope to save Magnus, he suppressed his impatience, got up quietly, and walked out of the room.
His movements were light, but the two phone rings, combined with his getting up, still woke up the just-asleep Nora.
Nora opened her eyes drowsily and saw Isaac holding his phone, carefully walking out of the room.
Nora didn't think much of it.
She just thought Isaac was afraid of waking them up, so he went outside to take the call.
As the CEO of a large corporation, it was normal for Isaac to have many phone calls.
Nora remembered that her laptop was still outside and hadn't been shut down, so she got up to go to the living room to put it away.
When Nora walked out of the room, Isaac had already entered the bathroom outside.
The bathroom door was closed, muffling some of the sound.
But it was quiet at night, and she could still hear his deep voice talking.
However, being too far away, Nora could only hear the deep voice but couldn't make out what he was saying.
Nora didn't mind.
She just assumed he was discussing work with someone.
She yawned, walked into the living room, shut down her laptop, and closed it, planning to take it back to the bedroom.
As she was walking back to the bedroom, she suddenly heard Isaac's voice from the bathroom, raised a few decibels.
"Take good care of the baby, don't overthink!"
Nora's steps suddenly halted.
Take good care of the baby?
Who was Isaac telling to take good care of the baby?
Nora didn't want to eavesdrop on Isaac's phone call, and she knew it wasn't right.
But the sentence she accidentally overheard kept echoing in her mind like a haunting melody.
She couldn't help but have various speculations in her mind.
Nora held her breath and strained her ears to hear more.
But Isaac's voice, which had been slightly louder due to agitation, had now lowered again, and she could only hear occasional murmurs, not the specific words.
Nora bit her lip and quietly moved closer to the bathroom.
