Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 562 - 343: Marcus Shaw: Good, Where’s My Cactus? (4)
At this moment, Marcus Shaw walked in from the balcony—
He looked at Nora Scott with an expressionless face, with a tone difficult to describe, "Good, where’s my cactus?"
"..."
Nora Scott almost threw the script at him.
Good, what Good, wasn’t he just trying to tell her that he had already seen the snacks all over the bed, the traces of physics problems, and the missing cactus?
Can’t he just speak properly?
"Oh," Nora paused, her expression unchanged, still lazy and composed, "On Monday, there was wind and rain, and a pot of cactus got knocked over."
"...Oh."
Marcus was skeptical.
After a pause, Marcus looked down at her and said, "If you want to do physics problems, I can get you a study book."
"I don’t want to."
Nora frowned.
She had finally graduated from school, why would she torture herself with physics problems again?
Marcus said "Oh" again, then added, "Next time you steal snacks, don’t make it so... obvious."
To consider Nora’s feelings, Marcus forcibly changed the words "childish."
Nora frowned and shot a cold glare over, "What, my own snacks, and you call it stealing?"
Marcus remained expressionless, "Confiscated means it’s mine."
"..."
Absolutely outrageous!
Why didn’t Oliver Scott come back this weekend with them?
Feeling annoyed, Nora looked up and suddenly caught sight of Pedro Langley leaning against the bedroom door, smiling, which made her even more exasperated, "What’s so funny?"
"I’ll help you teach him a lesson."
Pedro instantly wiped the smile off his face and seriously said to Nora, then looked over at Marcus.
Marcus frowned and looked back.
Pedro said, "As a younger brother, how can you take all your sister’s snacks? Next time you take them, leave her a bag or two."
"...Oh."
Marcus responded dully.
He realized they were showing off their love.
He turned and went back to the balcony.
Nora, in frustration, picked up a pillow from behind and accurately threw it at Pedro Langley.
Completely harmless.
Pedro caught it with ease.
"Go back to your own house, stop being a nuisance here."
Nora would rather have them out of sight, out of mind.
These two were just too annoying.
Pedro strode over, looked down at her, half smiling, "Can I take something with me?"
"What?"
Nora casually asked back.
At that moment, Pedro had already walked up to her.
Leaning slightly down, he got close to her ear, speaking in a seductive voice, "You."
?
Nora’s eyes lifted.
Pedro had already picked her up by the waist.
Suddenly lifting off the ground, Nora held the script in one hand and wrapped the other around his neck, baffled, "What are you doing?"
Pedro’s lips touched her ear, speaking softly, saying a few words.
Nora was stunned, her ears turning slightly red, subconsciously glancing at the balcony, glaring angrily at Pedro.
Pedro carried her towards the door.
"Aren’t I on a variety show tonight?"
In her embarrassment, Nora changed the subject.
Pedro replied, "The TV station has a live broadcast, ’City Secret’ is postponed to air at nine tomorrow night."
"Does it clash with ’Escape Room’?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
...
Their voices gradually faded away until the door to the living room closed, and couldn’t be heard anymore.
Standing on the balcony, Marcus who was meticulously tending the cactus, glanced towards the living room with some confusion.
These two people...
Haven’t they been dating for five years, why are they still so affectionate?
Like they’re in a hot romance.

The next day, early morning.
Nora was covered in sweat, lying in Pedro Langley’s arms, breathing lightly.
She retaliated by biting his shoulder.
Reluctant to use force, she left a shallow teeth mark.
"Ouch."
Pedro didn’t furrow his brows at all, instead, there was a smile on his lips as he spoke naturally.
"Go away."
Nora gave him a glare.
Pedro not only didn’t go away but clung to her even tighter.
Nora pushed him, "I need to take a shower."
"Later."
"No time." Nora frowned, "I could have slept a bit more..."
Half awake, Nora thought about "going on a business trip," and groggily told Pedro about it. She didn’t expect him to wake up in a second, ruining her precious sleep time.
Pedro kissed her, voice deep, "Can’t you tell me earlier next time?"
Nora leaned back, mumbling softly, "It’s just a few days..."
"A few days?"
Pedro pressed on.
After a pause, Nora said, "I don’t know. I’ll come back once it’s done."
A long-missed task, found through Boss Alex by Nora.
Because of something she particularly cared about, she agreed to go over.
"Is it dangerous?"
"Not dangerous, just a matter of talking."
Nora cupped Pedro’s face, pressing her forehead against his, teasingly staring at him, calling, "Pedro Langley."
"Hmm." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"You look especially like a sad wife right now..."
Before she could finish, Pedro tickled her waist, making her laugh uncontrollably.
The words naturally swallowed back.
