The Ugly Lady Strikes Back novel Chapter 803

“I can’t be bothered to explain,” Noah Smith said.

“It’d be bad if people started spreading rumors of us being in a relationship,” Catherine Batton said.

“I don’t mind,” Noah said.

Catherine was speechless.

“Did you watch my debut performance?” Noah asked.

“Yeah… I did… You’re pretty good. I like your stage name too. It sounds great,” Catherine said.

Meanwhile, Noah was sitting in his sapphire-blue Porsche parked within the vice president’s residence. A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes when he smiled after reading the text from Catherine.

He immediately gave Catherine a call on the phone.

Catherine very quickly picked it up.

“Have you gone back to school?” Noah asked.

“Not yet,” Catherine said.

“When are you going back?” He asked.

“Probably tomorrow,” she said.

“Hmm… Would you like to come out for supper?” Noah asked.

“No. I don’t feel like moving.” Catherine rejected him right away.

“Forget it then…” A look of disappointment appeared in Noah’s eyes.

“I’m going to hang up. I want to game a little…” Catherine said.

“What are you playing?” Noah asked.

“Honor of Kings…” Catherine replied.

“Let’s play together…” Noah said.

“Sure… Let Mommy carry you,” Catherine added.

“Okay,” Noah said.

“Hmm… I’m not hungry…” Stanley said.

Beep, beep, beep… Right then, Stanley’s phone started to ring.

When he saw that the number ended with three nines, Stanley directly canceled the call.

“I have to go out for a while. Have an early night after you finish eating, alright?” He got up and said.

Xyla subconsciously glanced at the watch on her wrist.

It was already close to midnight.

“Why are you going out at this hour?” Xyla asked.

“Something came up,” Stanley said.

“Well, go ahead then… Don’t come home too late,” Xyla said without asking further.

“Okay.” Stanley ruffled her hair affectionately. He then fished for the keys to his Bentley Arnage before leaving the dining room.

Xyla didn’t know who the caller was, but she figured it was probably one of his friends asking him out to spend time together. Hence, she didn’t think too much of it.
