Chapter 83 Isaac Found out Nora Was Counting on Him
Isaac's face instantly became extremely gloomy.
"How can this drug be triggered?" he asked, suppressing his anger.
Rhys had a complicated expression.
He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "This drug can't be triggered just casually."
"Just spit it out, don't leave anything unsaid!" Isaac impatiently said.
Rhys said silently, "Can't you have a little patience?"
Isaac's face darkened, his gaze turned icy.
Rhys told him everything. "In order to trigger this drug, the person you like needs to spray the triggering agent on themselves, allowing you to smell the fragrance of that catalyst."
"Not only that, she also needs to seduce you purposely and make you develop feelings for her in order to trigger the effects of this drug."
"After the drug is triggered, even if the person you like leaves and another woman comes, you will still see the person you like."
Isaac's gaze became slightly darker.
‘The person he likes needs to trigger it? So... is Nora the one who drugged him?
‘Does Nora know that he still has feelings for her?
‘But if it's Nora, why would she drug him?
‘She is pregnant now and shouldn't be doing anything with him.
‘Why did she drug him?
‘Moreover, if she wants to seduce him, she doesn't need to use drugs.’
Isaac frowned, feeling that there was some problem with all of this.
After taking a bath, Nora applied the perfume that Kalista gave her.
She applied some on her earlobe, neck, and wrists, making sure that Isaac would be able to smell it.
"Why couldn't Mortimer just use a simpler drug and have Kalista secretly give it to Isaac? Why make it so complicated?"
Not only did she have to drug him, but she also had to apply perfume for Isaac to smell it.
Furthermore, she had to seduce Isaac and make him have impulses towards her.
This drug was too troublesome.
However, as long as her goal can be achieved, she doesn't mind the trouble.
Mortimer's arrangements usually don't have any problems.
Nora didn't think about it any further, she lay back on the bed and waited for Isaac to return to the room.
But she waited for a long time and Isaac still didn't come back to the room.
Nora waited until she became sleepy and dozed off.
It was almost dawn when Isaac finally returned from the study.
When he lifted the blanket and lay down next to her, Nora woke up.
"Are you done with your work?" Nora asked groggily, looking at him with half-closed eyes. Her voice, still sleepy, sounded particularly soft.
"Yeah. Did I wake you up?" Isaac asked in a deep voice.
Nora rolled over and snuggled into his arms.
Rubbing her head against his chest, she said softly, "Hmm... you did wake me up. I should punish you..."
"How do you want to punish me?" Isaac's voice remained steady, but his gaze in the darkness grew colder.
When Nora snuggled into his arms, he caught a whiff of an unfamiliar fragrance.
The scent was very faint, almost unnoticeable.
If his nose wasn't sensitive and if he didn't know her scent so well, he wouldn't have detected it at all.
He remembered what Rhys had told him in the study.
Rhys had said that the drug that could make others mistake someone for their love interest required two separate ingredients to be effective.
The external ingredient was made into the form of a perfume that could be applied to the body like any other perfume.
The smell was very faint and difficult to detect.
Even if it was discovered, one could claim that it was just ordinary perfume.
Nora really did drug him.
‘Nora, what exactly are you planning?’ He pondered.
"Let me think...," Nora pondered for a few seconds, her soft voice carrying a hint of shyness, "Let's punish you... by making you kiss me!"
Nora's words brought Isaac back to his senses.
Isaac took a deep breath, suppressing his thoughts.
Nora drugged him, but that didn't necessarily mean she had some sinister plan.
Perhaps she just wanted to repair their relationship.
"Well, you said it. Don't blame me later for bullying you," Isaac said, smiling almost mockingly.
Then, he rolled over and leaned over her, lowering his head to kiss her lips.
Nora responded to his kiss and tightly wrapped her arms around him.
Two tears slid down her cheeks. ‘Isaac, I'm sorry.’
She didn't intentionally deceive him.
But she had no other choice.
After kissing for a while, she could clearly feel Isaac's breath become irregular and his body temperature rise.
His physical changes were also very noticeable.
Isaac was panting and his hands started to wander on her body.
Nora, too, was overwhelmed by his kiss.
She tried her best to stay alert.
At the critical moment, she pushed him away forcefully.
"I... I suddenly feel a little thirsty. I'll go pour myself a glass of water first and come back to find you later," Nora made up an excuse, hurriedly getting off the bed and straightening her clothes as she anxiously rushed out of the room.
Isaac seemed to have been brain-controlled by desire, panting and tossing about on the bed, not hearing a word Nora said.
Nora walked out of the room and saw Kalista pacing at the door.
"How's Isaac?" Kalista eagerly asked as soon as she saw Nora.
Suppressing her bitterness, Nora trembled and said, "The medicine has taken effect. Go inside."
Kalista's eyes brightened and she immediately opened the door and went in.
The room was not lit.
With the light coming through the crack of the door, one could faintly see a tall and muscular man tossing and turning on the bed, restless.
He was breathing heavily, and his sturdy muscles rose and fell vigorously with each breath, giving off a seductive allure.
Kalista grew excited, and her blood boiled with anticipation.
"Isaac, are you in pain? I'm here to help you!" Kalista closed the door and rushed to the bedside eagerly.
Tonight she would definitely turn her relationship with Isaac into something more serious.
Her heart raced with excitement.
But at the same time, she felt a sense of hatred for Nora.
That medicine Nora used, she didn't know what it was about. But she was certain of one thing!
That medicine required the involvement of someone the person liked in order to take effect.
Nora successfully involved Isaac with the medicine.
It proved that Isaac still loved Nora.
That wretched Nora, what despicable means did she use to confuse Isaac, making him unable to forget her for so long?
After she became pregnant with Isaac's child, she would definitely get rid of that wretched Nora.
Even though Nora helped Kalista scheme against Isaac, enabling her to smoothly climb into Isaac's bed.
But Kalista didn't feel any gratitude towards Nora, instead, her hatred and desire to get rid of her grew deeper.
Kalista suppressed her hatred.
Now was not the time for those thoughts.
Now was the perfect time for her and Isaac to consummate their relationship. She couldn't let that wretched Nora affect her mood!
Kalista composed herself and quickly ran to the bedside, looking tenderly at the dark figure on the bed.
"Isaac, I'm here."
She swiftly took off all her clothes.
And then, she got onto the bed...
