Chapter 79 Isaac Was Scolded by His Grandfather
"Okay, tell me what to do, I'll follow your instructions," Nora said calmly, suppressing her inner unease.
Mortimer said, "For this matter, you will need to play a role in front of Isaac."
Nora asked, "How should I act?"
Then, Mortimer earnestly explained his well-thought-out plan to Nora.
"You are still living with Isaac, right? Spend some time living with him and get along well with him during this period."
"Then, find an opportunity to suggest to him to bring back Kalista and have her take care of you. Make up a reason, say it is to seek revenge on Kalista."
"Use your unborn child as leverage; he will surely compromise."
"When the time is ripe, deliberately seduce him, and when he is infatuated with you, sneak away and switch places with Kalista in his bed."
"We must choose the right time to ensure that Kalista becomes pregnant with Isaac's child in one shot."
"This way, you will have a chance to escape without having to leave that child for Edmund and Katie."
After listening, Nora instinctively clenched her fists.
She felt a chill surrounding her heart, making her feel thoroughly cold.
To think that she had to personally send Kalista to Isaac's bed.
Although she knew in her heart that Isaac and Kalista had already done everything.
But to have to fulfill their desires herself still made her uncomfortable.
Nora took a deep breath, suppressing her emotions, and said, "I can do as you request, but will it work if you want me to seduce Isaac? He detests me so much, he will only feel disgust towards my seduction."
"I think it would be easier for Kalista to seduce Isaac herself." Nora thought that it was unnecessary for her to seduce Isaac.
Isaac already liked Kalista, even without any scheming, he would have actively pursued a relationship with her. Why should she get involved?
Mortimer said with a meaningful tone, "It will work, if you want to escape, you must do as I say. Only if you personally take action, our plan can succeed."
Nora didn't quite understand Mortimer's meaning. Why did she have to be the one to take action for it to succeed? But she wasn't in the mood to think about it too much. She just wanted to get away as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll do as you say," Nora said, "You said to wait for the right timing to act, but how long do we have to wait?"
Mortimer said, "Kalista has a slight injury and cannot move for the time being."
"Give her a few days to recover from her injury, and then give her the ovulation injection. Once the injection takes effect, we can proceed."
Nora thought for a moment and said, "Then send Kalista back to Isaac. With Rhys on Isaac's side, her injuries will heal faster. We can implement the plan as soon as possible."
Mortimer smiled and said, "I brought back some medicine from my grandfather, and it has good healing effects. I've already arranged for her to take it, so the recovery should be relatively fast."
Nora realized that Mortimer's grandfather's family was of the royal family of Country X.
The royal family's doctor was also skilled. Naturally, the medicine they developed would not be inferior.
"Okay, when we can take action, you can contact me again."
After hanging up the phone, Nora did not immediately return to Isaac's place, but went to the store instead.
Speaking of which, it had been several days since she was injured and she hadn't opened the store.
Moreover, she had received a batch of paintings before, and the delivery time was approaching.
If she didn't start painting soon, she really wouldn't be able to complete them.
Nora took a taxi to the store, prepared the tools she needed for painting, and started drawing.
A total of five paintings.
She first sketched the frames of the five paintings, and then completed them one by one, adding details, and finally adding colors.
Landscape painting was relatively easy for Nora.
And it was also her expertise.
Nora painted diligently.
She was fully immersed in her work.
She even forgot to eat.
It was not until 9 o'clock in the evening that her phone rang and she came back to her senses.
"It's so late, why haven't you gone home yet?"
Steve's voice came from the phone.
Nora looked up and realized that it was already dark outside.
"I'm at the store. A customer ordered a few paintings some time ago, and the deadline for delivery is approaching. But I haven't even started painting any of them yet, so I came to the store today to make use of the time," Nora explained.
"I won't be going back tonight. I'll just stay at the store overnight, so you don't have to wait for me," Steve said, sounding displeased.
"You're pregnant now, how can you stay out overnight?"
"I'll come pick you up right away, just wait for me," Nora offered.
"No need..." Nora was about to refuse, but before she could finish her sentence, Steve hung up the phone.
Nora sighed.
She could only continue painting and wait for Steve to come.
Half an hour later, Steve arrived at the store.
"Why are you still painting? If you can't finish, forget about it. If you can't meet the deadline, we'll have to compensate. I'll help you with the compensation," Steve said coldly.
Nora sighed, "This is not just about money."
"If we can't complete it on time, it will affect the reputation of our store and have an impact on future business."
"This store is not just mine. I don't care about the income from here, but my friend relies on the income from this store to support her life."
"I can't cut off her future source of income."
"She not only has to support herself, but also her entire family..."
Thinking about Sophia Price's family, Nora couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Steve pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.
"Pack up and let's go. We'll continue painting tomorrow," Steve finally said.
Nora nodded.
She put away her brushes and paints.
Then she prepared to stand up.
But she had been sitting for too long, and not moving for a long time made her joints stiff and sore.
Just as she stood up halfway, she immediately fell back down.
"What's wrong?" Steve quickly grabbed her.
Nora awkwardly touched her nose. "I've been sitting for too long, my knees hurt a bit. I just need to rest."
"How long have you been sitting?" Steve frowned, a hint of gloominess in his eyes.
Nora casually replied, "About two or three hours. I have a fragile body..."
In reality, she hadn't stood up since she came to the store in the morning.
She had been focused on painting all day, without eating or drinking.
Steve looked at her deeply.
He didn't believe her explanation for a second.
But he didn't expose her either.
He crouched down and gently massaged her knees and calves.
After massaging for more than ten minutes, Nora finally felt better.
Steve closed the store door for her and then drove away with her.
As the car continued to move, Nora realized that it wasn't the way back home.
"This isn't the way home. Did you take a wrong turn?"
Steve said, "You haven't eaten anything all day, aren't you hungry?"
Nora looked slightly surprised. She hadn't told him that she hadn't eaten all day, so how did he know?
The car parked in front of a Chinese-style restaurant.
After Steve parked the car, he held Nora's hand and they walked into the restaurant together.
However, just as they reached the entrance, they saw Edmund coming out from inside.
"Nora, why are you together with this wild man?!" Edmund's chest heaved with anger, his face turning livid angrily stared at the man beside Nora.
"You shameless, do you know that Nora is already married? Yet you shamelessly pursue her?"
"Stay away from my Nora from now on!"
"If you dare to seduce my Nora again, I won't let you off!"
