Chapter 74

“Enough,Phoebe.Stop causing a scene.”It seemed that Noah's voice came from a distance. Phoebe would rather not hear it clearly. Then Noah turned to Zoe and said, "Babe, you take Cora away first. I'll be right with you." Until two went far, Phoebe pulled Noah's wrist hard, then he released her. She was out of breath, "Noah, what did those two bitches do to bewitch you? Why are you so protective of them?" Hearing this, there was a hint of cruelty in Noah's eyes. He couldn't stand it when she tongue lashed Cora, and now she just called his girl a bitch. "Please watch your words, Phoebe. And don’t you ever speak ill of Zoe.”Noah warned, coldly. He didn't even want to see the woman in front of him. If it weren't for Tristan, he wouldn't have taken her seriously. "You! You all are bullying me.”Phoebe squatted on the ground and cried. Noah turned around and left without looking back. This kind of drama could only deceive Tristan. He didn't buy it. He knew clearly what kind of person Phoebe was. Listening to the footsteps far away, Phoebe finally stopped crying. She was too humiliated today. Noah didn't help her, and she was humiliated by Cora in front of so many people. Gritting her teeth, she sat on the chair at the door, staring blankly at ward. Inside, Tristan was staring at the ceiling. He seemed to know what had happened outside. The more indifferent he was, the more frightened Phoebe was. When she couldn't attract his attention, it meant that she was no longer important. Tristan used to be very nervous when she got hurt. But now she was bullied by others, and he didn't care. Sure enough, it was easy to tell that he had stopped falling for her schemes. Phoebe sat on the chair dejectedly. Inside and outside the ward, the two people were silent, each with their own worries. Out of the hospital,Zoe shouted excitedly. “Cora,do you know how domineering you were just now? You were so cool!" Shrugging her shoulders, Cora said, "I have no choice. I was born to be like this. I just didn't want to embarrass Tristan too much in the past. I didn't expect Phoebe to be so shameless, so I couldn't help but teach her a lesson." At this time, Noah caught up with the two. "Wow, Cora, you’re really something." Noah teased. He really enjoyed watching Cora standing for herself. "Are you praising me or mocking me?" Cora was speechless. She felt that she was more like a tough woman in Noah's eyes. "Of course it's a compliment."Noah continued. What happened just now was really a great joy to her. He was natural to praise such a happy thing. "Come on, let's go to have dinner and welcome your return home. I noticed that you've finally gained some weight recently. You look more beautiful with some weight.”Zoe put her arm around Cora’s shoulder and held Noah with the other. They looked harmonious and reassuring. "That's great. My appetite has improved a lot recently. I don't have to worry that I will be depressed by my divorce and lose weight day by day." Cora’s words were self-evident. "Oh, my God! Miss Cora has finally thought it through. I'm so glad that she doesn't put all her eggs in one basket." Zoe burst into laughter. With a smile on his face, Noah found Zoe more lovely. The three left the hospital. Anyway,Tristan had woken up. He had no serious problem, not to mention that Phoebe was there. They didn't need to worry about him, so the three went to have dinner at ease. When they arrived at the restaurant, they ordered some food. Looking at the two who were leaning against each other with a smile on their face, Cora could recall when Zoe was still skeptical over Noah two months ago and now they were all over each other. After clearing her throat, Cora couldn't help but say, "Why do I always feel that I'm redundant here?You two are like newly weds.” Zoe was stunned and let go of Noah's hand. “Well,we don’t mind giving you a godson soon.”As soon as Noah said that, Zoe felt as if those words had stabbed into the pain of Cora heart. Fortunately, Cora’s mood didn’t change. "Wow, you're thinking of having a baby now. So fast! Noah, your speed is beyond my reach." Cora teased with a smile. Zoe blushed, "what are you talking about?" Noah said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, we'll have a baby sooner or later. Why don't we take advantage of our young age and seize the time? Do you think so,babe?" Zoe blushed harder, "who wants to have a baby with you? Shame on you!" Cora burst into laughter. "Well, let's drop it.Zoe is shy." After hearing what Cora said, Noah looked back at Zoe who was blushing. He nodded and didn't say anything more. Looking at the happy blush on Zoe’s face, Cora was happy. She finally saw the feminine aspect of Zoe. Fate was really miraculous. However, in Cora’s impression of Noah, the two were a perfect match. After all, Zoe had a different temper from ordinary people, but the two had the same interests. Noah stood up and raised the glass in his hand. The red wine in the glass looked intoxicating. "In fact, I have to thank you, Cora.Zoe told me you had advised her to give me a chance back then when she was doubtful of my intentions about her.If it weren't for you, Zoe and I wouldn't have been together so soon. You are really my matchmaker." At a loss what to do, Cora stole a glance at Zoe and found that Zoe was also looking at her with a smile. So Cora had to stand up and raise her glass. "I wish you two happiness. Be good to Zoe." Noah nodded and said again, "Once again, it’s nice to officially meet you,Cora.” Cora wore a gentle smile on her face. She didn't expect that they would meet today, but she felt happy in her heart. After taking a sip of wine, the two sat down. Zoe picked up a piece of foie gras for Cora and said, "Come on, eat more." Noah couldn't help but note that the friendship between girls was so solid. After dinner,Zoe sent Cora home, and Noah went back to the hospital to see Tristan. When he was about to knock at the door of Tristan’s ward, Noah heard the sound from inside. "Tristan, why can't we be like before?Our relationship was so good at that time! Is it because of Cora? What did she do to bewitch you to protect her like this all the time?She is really a dubious woman!”Phoebe’s voice was mixed with sobs, as if she would cry out the next second. With a melancholy look on his face, Noah didn't know whether he should go in or back. He stopped at the door. Hearing Phoebe abused Cora,Tristan frowned. Why had he been so blind to see how Phoebe talked ill about others before? He had always thought she was polite. “Phoebe,I already told you, we can’t work.We already tried to but it didn’t.I couldn’t even be intimate with you.This is not about Cora.Because even if I can’t be with Cora,I just can’t imagine being with you.”Tristan said slowly. As he was still injured, he could only speak slowly.
