Chapter 99 A Man’s Dignity
“Noah, don’t force me to go to the ATM specifically to get cash.” Jocelyn was determined to pay this money back.
“…”
He did not respond, pushing the car forward all the way, as if there was an extra barrier on his body, shielding everyone from him.
When they returned home, the two of them then put all the things they had bought from the supermarket together, where they should be.
After that, they sat down together on the snow-white carpet and took out the sweeping and mopping robots, one by one, two upstairs and two downstairs.
After tidying everything up, they went back to the living room sofa and sat down in silence.
Noah took out his mobile phone and opened the Handsome Boys Club, looking indifferent as he checked the chat log.
As soon as he entered the group, he saw countless messages mentioning him.
He frowned slightly and patiently continued to scroll up.
That was when he saw exactly what they were talking about, and understood exactly what they were getting excited about.
He typed quickly, “Have an opinion?”
Immediately afterwards, Robert called.
Jocelyn remembered that she hadn’t filled her mopping robot with water, so she went straight into the bathroom on the first floor, holding the mopping robot, as well as the water filling tool.
Noah clicked to answer, lightly pinching his brow, “What is wrong?”
Robert on the other end of the phone laughed lightly, “Nothing, it’s just that we are curious about the progress between you and your wife.”
“Nosy.” Noah responded coldly.
“We don’t understand you at all.” Robert over there had no intention of letting Noah off the hook at all.
“…”
“Ah …”
A delicate cry of pain came out from the bathroom and clearly reached Noah’s ears.
His pupils instantly shook dramatically.
The next second, he ran into the bathroom with quick steps, the call was still going on in his mobile phone.
As soon as he entered, he saw that Jocelyn was rinsing the wound on her right index finger against the tap.
The water running in the white sink was tinged with pink.
On the floor was a broken bottle of LAMER essence.
“What’s wrong?” His eyes were full of concern.
“It just accidentally broke my bottle of essence and I tried to pick up the pieces, I ended up with a cut.”
He frowned slightly and quickly took her right wrist, carefully examining the injury on her fingertips.
The cut was deep and had been dripping blood since she stopped flushing.
Noah then put his finger to his lips and sucked gently.
The warm touch caused Jocelyn’s body to instantly wince and her whole body to stiffen.
“You don’t need to do this, just rinse it and apply disinfectant.” She subconsciously struggled and tried to pull back her hand.
“Don’t move.” His tone carried an indescribable dominance. He clutched her wrist tightly and not giving her any chance to struggle at all.
Her heart beating unconsciously was speeding up once again.
Her ears were blushing.
He sucked carefully for a while, after which he took her hand, once again, under the tap, rinsing it over and over again.
When she struggled, he held on tighter.
It took a few more moments of rinsing before he released her, “Do you have any band-aids and antiseptic at home?”
“Yes, in the drawer under the coffee table in the living room.” Jocelyn nodded, her heart still su1 numb.
“Go.” He gently held her wrist and led her all the way back to the living room.
Noah then leaned down and opened the coffee table drawer, finding sterile cotton balls as well as band-aids from inside.
He took the cotton ball and carefully wiped her wound, blowing cold air into it as gently as if he were sweeping dust off an antique.
As soon as she looked up, his focused eyes hit her directly, and a touch of warmth spread through her heart.
“How’s that? Does it hurt?” He asked.
“No.” Jocelyn shook her head.
“Next time don’t pick those things up with your hands.” He admonished seriously.
“Okay.” Jocelyn nodded obediently, like a docile cat.
He then dropped the cotton ball and carefully bandaged her wound with a band-aid.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
His movements were sharp and gentle, as if he was restoring an antique of great value.
“There, don’t touch the wound with water.” He still had a serious look on his face.
“Okay.” Jocelyn nodded obediently once again.
“Also, don’t eat any stimulating food lately to avoid irritating the wound.” Noah added.
“Okay.” Jocelyn’s mouth was tinged with a smile and her heart was warm.
She then stood up again, “I’ll go and clean up those glass fragments first.”
“I’ll do it, you sit still.” With that, he got up and went into the bathroom.
Jocelyn sat back down on the sofa and looked at his back and said, “Thank you.”
Noah did not respond.
She didn’t say anything more either, and just silently went on Weibo.
Weibo hot search was still as exciting as before, once inside, it was all kinds of hot search for Gloria, Joseph and the Steward’s.
She couldn’t help but start wondering again, who was the one that could make these hot searches stay for so many days?
After Noah cleaned up the bathroom floor, he sat back down next to Jocelyn and picked up his phone.
After the phone was unlocked, he saw that his call with Robert had not been interrupted.
He then pressed hang up, and at this time, the screen in the phone returned to the Handsome Boys Club.
He didn’t know what the group was talking about, but there were all sorts of shocked emojis in the group at the moment.
He just replied, “…”.
After that, he was ready to quit.
However, before his finger could touch the back button, the group went uproar.
Robert, “Noah, can you actually be so gentle?”
Abel, “You are strange. You’ve never even been this nice to me.”
Harry, “I’ve almost not recognized you.”
Abel, “Never knew Noah was actually so patient.”
Robert, “I also never knew that Noah could actually be so talkative. I’m jealous, find a way to coax me.”
Abel, “What about the high and reserved?”
Harry, “After meeting Jocelyn, it might have been stolen.”
The group then brushed a wave of shocked emojis once again.
Noah, “Have an opinion?”
In an instant, the group was silent.
Soon after, everyone replied “no opinion”.
Noah, “…”
He didn’t pay any more attention to them, he directly logged out and clicked into the news app to browse today’s financial news.
“Noah, have you forgotten one thing?” Jocelyn said.
