Todos os capítulos de Nora and Her Unexpected Billionaire : Capítulo 71 - Capítulo 80

The next two weeks passed in a blur.For Nora, Thailand had slowly stopped feeling like the place where she had come looking for answers and started feeling like somewhere she had accidentally gone on holiday. She still thought about the photographs she had removed from the album and the questions she had never gotten answers to. Every few days, she tried calling JJ again, but the result was always the same.Nothing.Eventually, she stopped trying so often.There was only so much chasing she could do when the person she was chasing had seemingly disappeared.Besides, life had become surprisingly comfortable.Arlo had made it almost impossible for her to remain miserable for too long.They spent their days together whenever their schedules allowed it, sometimes going out, sometimes staying at the estate, and sometimes simply sitting together without doing anything particularly interesting. Nora found herself laughing more than she had in months, and slowly, the awkwardness that had on

The river was unusually quiet that morning. A local fisherman had been walking along the bank when something caught his attention near the reeds.At first, he thought it was a piece of cloth caught against the branches.He moved closer. Then he stopped.It was a body.The fisherman stumbled backward, his face draining of color. He pulled out his phone with shaking hands and called the police.By the time the officers arrived, a small crowd had gathered along the riverbank. One of them crouched near the edge. The body had been carried farther onto the bank by the current.It was a woman.“Everyone stay back!” he shouted at the peering crowd.Two local police officers stood in the mud, watching as the forensics team carefully bagged the waterlogged body of Suda.The decay made it clear she had been in the water for days. They lifted her onto a stretcher and carried her away while the local news crews filmed from behind the barricades.Far across the city, Eleanor sat in her private stud

When Arlo opened his eyes, the heavy fog in his brain had finally started to clear. The heat of the fever had broken, leaving his skin cool, though his limbs still felt weak and completely exhausted. He shifted slightly, noticing Nora. She had fallen asleep beside him sometime during the night, curled slightly toward him with one hand resting loosely against his chest. Her hair had fallen across part of her face, and the soft rise and fall of her breathing was the only sound in the room.Carefully, so he wouldn't disturb her, he adjusted his weight and positioned himself properly, gently pulling her body over until she was the one laying on his chest. A soft click sounded at the door, and the head maid walked into the suite carrying a fresh tray of medical supplies. The second she stepped inside, Arlo raised a single, finger to his lips, signaling for her to keep quiet.The maid slowed her steps, her voice dropping into a frantic, worried whisper. "Oh, Mr. Reeves... you shouldn't be

Back at the villa, the quiet of the master suite returned the moment the doors shut. Arlo looked over at Nora, his expression softening as he let out a tired breath. "I'm sorry about her," Arlo said, his voice apologetic . "She doesn't exactly have a filter when it comes to people she doesn’t know." Nora offered a soft, dismissive smile, stepping closer to the edge of the mattress. "It’s fine. Really. I've dealt with tough personalities before." Arlo didn't answer with words. Instead, he simply opened his arms wide, beckoning her forward for a hug. Nora didn't hesitate. She moved forward and jumped right into his chest, her momentum knocking the air right out of his lungs. Arlo let out an involuntary, sharp gasp, catching her firmly by the waist as they both burst into a loud laugh. Nora settled against his side, her fingers lightly tracing his palm. "I want you to actually tell me about your family, Arlo. What exactly should I know before I walk into that graduation?" Arl

Two days passed in a quiet blur of settling back in. Nora unpacked into her old apartment. Everything was exactly where she'd left it. Arlo had gone straight to his parents' house the moment their flight landed, and aside from a few calls and a stream of texts that ranged from mundane to embarrassingly sentimental, she hadn't seen him at all.On the second day, she had her hair looked at. Her roots had grown out over the weeks in Thailand, and instead of the dark brown she'd been dyeing it for years, what came through underneath was a warm reddish brown that the stylist insisted on blending rather than covering."It suits you," the stylist said, turning the chair so Nora could see. "You should let it grow out."Nora studied herself for a long moment, tilting her head before deciding she agreed.The dress arrived that afternoon—a custom Valentino, a deep olive green that made her skin pop, paired with a set of pearl accessories understated enough not to compete with it.By the time the
