Chapter 291: She was helping her
Alice gulped when Noah inched closer to her lips and was about to kiss her when suddenly his phone rang.
Snapping out of her trance Alice moved back. She felt her cheeks heating up and what’s more, she was embarrassed as hell.
Groaning at the interrupted kiss, Noah picked up the call ready to yell at the person.
"Boss" hearing Sky’s voice Noah’s anger dissipated.
"Yes, Sky any update" normalizing his tone Noah asked.
At the ntion of Sky’s na, Alice found herself withdrawing from her thoughts and she quickly looked at Noah. She knew Sky was working for Noah on Tristan’s orders and if he attempts to call them it ans he had sothing important to inform them about.
"Turn on the speaker" Alice whispered and Noah quickly turned the call on the speaker.
"You were right boss. It’s miss Avera who is secretly helping Natalie but she has no hand in the accident it was solely planned by Natalie herself."
Noah clutched the cell phone in his hand, ready to crumble it due to the rage that was building inside his body. So his assumption was right and it was hard to find the reason behind it.
She wanted to avenge Alice and him for targeting Dylan and she was using Natalie this ti.
"I should have seen this coming" Noah muttered gnashing his teeth in fury.
"What else did you find" he further asked.
Sky started dictating everything. The cell phone he caught hold of contained the chats between the man and Natalie and it was enough proof against the culprit.
"I want you to send
the recordings and wait for my next orders" Noah ended the call and heaved out a sigh. He wanted to vent his anger but stopped when he realized he wasn’t the only one inside the room.
"Alice" he mumbled and turned around. Alice sat there without uttering a word as if she was trying to grasp everything she heard from Sky.
Noah felt his heart torn apart when she moved her teary eyes on him. Those unshed tears were like a dagger to his heart and he hated to see her cry.
"Why everyone hates
Noah" her lips trembled as she spoke. She thought Avera was a sensible girl who knew about good and bad but how did she forget about the blind love she had for Dylan?
"Is it all because of Dylan she is getting back on ?" she asked.
"And what about Natalie? Where did this girl co from and why is she so adamant to erase
from her path" she babbled absentmindedly without realizing that her words were making Noah feel guilty.
Yes, It was all because of him. If they had not targeted Dylan financially, Avera wouldn’t have held a grudge against them. And for Natalie, that girl was never in the picture because he never saw her as a threat. But he was wrong.
"I am sorry" Noah’s words froze her the very mont. She didn’t realize what she had been blabbering, forgetting that her words might hurt Noah’s sentints.
Snapping out of her thoughts, Alice turned to face Noah. A lump ford in her throat when she watched his bloodshot eyes stare back at her.
Alice parted her lips to speak but before a word could escape her mouth, she was pulled for a bone-crushing hug.
"You don’t have to feel sorry Alice. I know it’s all my fault and I promise to nd everything. Those who are trying to harm you will have to face my wrath. I am not going to anyone and that’s my promise to you" Noah ant everything he said. It wasn’t an impulsive act but a declaration.
Alice didn’t say a word and just let him embrace her. She had stopped crying and the negative thoughts in her mind vanished. She felt safe.
Noah was the only person who would make her see the good side of life and she ended up hurting him with her insensible words.
Pulling away from his embrace, Alice stared into his deep eyes and found herself getting lost in them. Before she could understand, she slowly leaned closer and sealed his lips.
Pouring her every emotion in that one kiss, Alice wrapped her arms around his neck and crawled onto his lap.
Holding her firmly, Noah accepted her initiation and kissed her back. They were going slow keeping her surgery in mind. Nibbling and clasping their tongue together, both tasted each other until Alice abruptly pulled back.
"Ah..." she suddenly felt dizzy due to a lack of oxygen. Sliding her arms down his neck Alice rested them on his chest. His heart thumped against her palm and she found herself leaning against it.
Noah was dumbstruck. He didn’t know what was happening but the way she hissed in pain, he assud it must be because of her surgery.
"Alice, don’t worry. Let
call the doctor" he said frantically. His hoarse voice made her chuckle and he froze with a crease appearing on his forehead.
"No need to call the doctor. I just felt dizzy but now I am feeling better" snuggling her face more into his chest, she kept listening to his soothing heartbeats.
Sensing the assuredness in her voice Noah breathed a sigh of relief and tightened his hold around her.
"You just scared " Noah chuckled once he felt better and looked down to see Alice smiling back.
Once Alice was back to normal, she crane her neck up and stared at Noah who seed like he was busy thinking about sothing.
"What are you planning to do with them?" she asked grabbing his attention.
Noah heaved out a sigh and looked at Alice. He had a plan but he was a little skeptical about whether Alice would agree with it.
Alice sensed the dubiousness in his eyes and imdiately pulled back. She narrowed her eyes, sharply analyzing his expressions, and asked," Noah if you planning on getting close to Natalie then let
warn you, I will break your legs and isolate you in our bedroom for your entire life"
Noah gulped at the sight of a daredevil look. She could so easily see through his mind.
"B-but Alice, this is the only way we can make Natalie accept her cris" Noah tried to defend himself. He knew staying away from Natalie will never let them expose her. They needed proof and for that, he had to get close to her.
"But why do you have to get close to her? You know I don’t like the way she looks at you. Nymphomaniac."
Alice knew Natalie craved Noah because she desires him. She was so obsessed with him that it wouldn’t take a second for her to pounce on him like a hungry beast.
"No, I can’t agree with you. Co up with another plan" climbing down his lap she stord back to her bed leaving Noah in denial.
