<h4>Chapter 51: Chapter 50: Norman Bet, Are You Impotent?</h4>


    Saying goodbye to Cotton, Elliana Lyle was now on her way back to the hotel.


    She leaned back in the car seat, tiredly rubbing her temples. She had sleptte the night before and had been worn out by Norman Bet, so today she relied on medicated oil to refresh herself.


    She felt like her brain was boiling, with a kind of indescribable headache.


    "Miss Lyle, if you’re feeling tired, why not take a day off tomorrow?" Victor King suggested with concern.


    "No need, Ms. Wang." To be honest, Elliana rarely initiated small talk with Victor King, preferring not to distract her from her diligent work.


    Just then, her phone rang. It was Zane Bet calling.


    Strange, why would he call her at this time?


    "Hello, big brain!"


    Zane Bet’s ingratiating voice came from the other end, "Sis, lend me 600,000 yuan, please."


    "...What! Didn’t Norman Bet already give you 4 million? Have you spent it all?" Elliana was shocked at how quickly he came to ask her for money.


    "Sis, the game I’m creating is high-end, so the expenses are naturally a bit fast," Zane Bet exined confidently.


    Elliana, with a headache, repliedzily, "I don’t have it now, so wait for it."


    "Don’t have it? What do you mean? Are you lying to me, you little brat?"


    ...


    Bearing it, Elliana replied word by word, "If you dare to call me that again, do you believe I’ll cut off your financial source? Show some respect."


    "Sis! Then I’ll wait for you to send me the money." Zane Bet was always adaptable.


    ――― Vicars Hotel.


    Norman Bet hadn’t returned yet, and Lana had thoughtfully stewed rock sugar pear soup for Elliana.


    While drinking the pear soup, she pondered over the bank card Norman Bet had given her and finally decided to use it to send money to Zane Bet.


    ...


    At 10 PM, Norman Bet returned.


    She ran over and hugged him voluntarily. It was still the lotus scent she liked, but stronger than usual. However, Elliana keenly detected a hint of tobo!


    "Norman Bet, did you smoke?" Elliana looked up at him, and even her smile disappeared.


    "I’ll go take a shower; the smell will be gone soon." He gently patted her head, indicating to soothe her.


    Elliana didn’t let go, instead hugging him tighter. She said, "Norman Bet, smoking is bad for your health. Can you give it up in the future?"


    Her voice was soft, with a touch of grievance and sadness. She knew he wasn’t a smoker but only started because she escaped from the hospital once.


    "Okay, I won’t smoke anymore." A glint of a smile appeared in his eyes. He actually hadn’t smoked today but had just been at a gathering where he got the smell on him.


    Seeing him agree, Elliana beamed with joy, "Then I’ll run the bath for you."


    "No need! Let’s go together." With that, he picked her up in one swift move, giving her no time to react.


    Elliana was stunned for a moment, then immediately began struggling, but was afraid of falling, so she had no choice but to hold onto his neck.


    With her strength, she couldn’t possibly escape! So, she started protesting, "No! I don’t want to! Norman Bet, let go of me! Put me down..."


    The more fiercely the little girl protested, the faster he walked, heading straight for the master bedroom.


    Lana, who was cooking the second batch of pear soup, pretended not to hear or see anything, but couldn’t help smiling.


    At this rate, Grandma Bet might soon have a great-grandchild.


    An hourter...


    Elliana rushed out of the bathroom in a panic, wrapped in a towel, grabbed her clothes, and ran to the guest room, finally locking the door.


    Oh, great!


    Norman Bet had finished every drop of the soup! She had seen everything, both things she should and shouldn’t have seen!


    Only then did Elliana start to feel a little afraid. Even though she knew it was inevitable, having never experienced it before, apart from a tiny bit of anticipation, she was mostly scared.


    Knock, knock knock.


    "Miss Lyle, the pear soup is ready, it’s cooled down, you can have it now." Lana called from the door.


    Elliana didn’t feel like going out at all, and only after stewing for a long time did she finally open the door.


    Norman Bet was sitting on the sofa in a pure white pajama set, looking aloof and proud, his slightly damp hair draping down, making him look different than usual, but still handsome.


    This man! Seriously!


    Always acts like nothing happened!


    Feeling irritated, Elliana picked up the bowl and sat next to him.


    If he’s not shy, why should I be? Elliana thought to herself.


    "Did you send the money to Zane Bet?" Norman Bet asked.


    Elliana paused and then quickly nodded, "Yes, I’ll pay you back once I earn some money."


    "No need, I won’t give you the payment from your acting jobs. Just use that card from now on, use as much as you like."


    This statement should have been a happy one, but Elliana wasn’t happy at all!


    Wouldn’t that mean he knows everything she does!


    "What? Does it have to be this way? But... then I won’t have any privacy!" Elliana pouted, even her longshes seemed to protest.


    "Do you have any secrets I don’t know about? Hmm?" That final "hmm" was incredibly suggestive, as if hinting at something.


    Sensing the implication in his words, her face flushed, and she muttered angrily, "Norman Bet, you’re a rogue!"


    With that, she downed the pear soup in one gulp and stormed back to the master bedroom, not even leaving the door open for him.


    She figured wisely. Investing in Zane Bet was the right choice! This way, she could just say she’s investing in Zane Bet whenever she used money!


    Pikachu ?～


    Her phone rang in the living room, forcing Elliana to step out from the master bedroom, where Norman was holding her phone.


    "Norman Bet, give me my phone!"


    However, he mischievously held it higher, forcing the frustrated little girl to climb onto the sofa and kneel on hisp, reaching for her phone.


    Just as the call was about to hang up, Norman handed it to her.


    It was Joy Lyle calling. Without thinking, she quickly answered it.


    "Hey, sis, how are you?"


    Joy said, "I’m fine, I just got out of the police station."


    "Ah! Norman Bet, what are you doing? I’m on the phone!"


    Just then, Norman unexpectedly wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close, causing the surprised Elliana to exim.


    "...Oh, my brother-inw is there too. You guys carry on, I won’t disturb you."


    Elliana could hear strangeughter on the other end, though faint, she still heard it.


    Then there was a beep from the phone, and Joy had hung up.


    "It’ste, time to sleep!" he took the phone from her and carried her back to the master bedroom.


    Elliana struggled hard, "No, Norman Bet, I won’t sleep with you tonight!"


    Did struggling help? The answer was no!


    Just as she was about to obediently give in, Norman held her gently and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Be good, sleep."


    Elliana was stunned, and in a sudden bout of impulsiveness, asked a silly question, "Norman Bet... are you unable to do it?"


    Why does he always stop just in time?


    Of course, she didn’t dare say thest part out loud.


    "What did you say?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and Elliana sensed danger!


    He pinned her down and said every word clearly, "Why don’t you try and find out?"
