Chapter 914: Chapter 606: Master Sliver [End] A Beautiful Accident After All

Frank Ford, who was busy eating meat, suddenly looked up, excitement gleaming in his eyes. He rubbed his hands eagerly and gossiped, "Is there a dramatic dog blood scene?"

The Ford Family was too harmonious, nothing much to talk about. Just like Nora Scott, Frank Ford loved to gossip about the "dog blood events of the neighboring wealthy family."

However, Nora never expected that she would have a day where she’d be the subject of gossip.

"Eat yours."

Pedro Langley stuffed all the grilled meat wrapped in lettuce into Frank Ford’s mouth.

Frank Ford: "..."

Nora Scott turned to Pedro Langley, "Wasn’t the grilled meat for me?"

Trying to stop Frank Ford from being reckless, Pedro Langley was caught off guard by Nora Scott’s remark. He raised his eyebrows slightly and replied, "I’ll wrap one for you now."

"I heard," Nora Scott propped her chin with one hand, tilted her head slightly, squinted her eyes, and gauged the two, her gaze sweeping back and forth. After a long pause, she suddenly unearthed a shocking secret, "I heard you two were once set up on a blind date?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The courtyard fell into sudden silence.

"Cough, cough," Frank Ford patted his chest to swallow the grilled meat, his eyes turning red. He didn’t have time to accuse Pedro Langley, quickly explaining to Nora Scott, "Sis, let me explain—"

"Heh." Nora Scott realized something, let out a cold laugh, "So it’s true?"

Frank Ford: "..." That logic?

Thomas Langley was stunned for a moment and then added fuel to the fire, "No wonder Mom doesn’t like it when you two hang out and often suspects Pedro’s preference... You two went on a blind date?!"

"Thomas!"

Frank Ford was collapsing.

Compared to Frank Ford’s commotion, the other party involved was much calmer.

"Yeah, we were." Pedro Langley wrapped the grilled meat for Nora Scott and casually handed it to her, "Didn’t fancy him."

"Oh." Nora Scott took a bite, then glanced at Frank Ford, saying, "Indeed, not as good-looking as me."

"..." Frank Ford was hit hard, but upon closer inspection of Nora Scott, he had to admit defeat, "Someone better looking than Sis, I haven’t seen yet."

"Hmm."

Nora Scott was very satisfied.

After finishing the grilled meat, Nora Scott clapped her hands, perked up, and curiously asked, "So, why did you two go on a blind date?"

"...You want to gossip even about your husband?" Pedro Langley was shocked.

—This woman seemed indifferent about everything, yet secretly loved reading fanfictions about herself and others. It was said that she once donned a vest online to gossip, only to end up gossiping about herself.

Oh, she also loved gossiping about dramatic events among the wealthy.

Now she’s even gossiping about her partner.

"Hmm." Nora Scott found a suitable, legitimate reason for her gossip, "We’re getting the marriage certificate in two days, if I become a same-sex wife, wouldn’t I be at a loss?"

Pedro Langley: "..." A woman without a heart.

"Let me explain."

Maybe having offended Heavenly Immortal, a gust of wind blew smoke into Frank Ford’s spot, making his eyes teary and reddening his circles.

Here it comes... truly a moment of grievance from the party involved.

Nora Scott immediately got into the mood.

The story was quite comical.

Everyone knew Pedro Langley had a good relationship with Katherine Collins, childhood friends. Katherine Collins had a friend named Isa, who also had a decent relationship with Pedro Langley. At that time, the Ford Family was worried about Daniel Ford’s marriage, so they thought of arranging a blind date for him, asking Katherine Collins to set up Daniel Ford with Isa.

Daniel Ford was unwilling and couldn’t avoid it, so he asked Frank Ford to take his place.

Isa was unwilling too and asked Pedro Langley for help.—Oh, Pedro Langley didn’t pretend to be Isa’s partner but pretended to be Isa herself.

By some twist of fate, Pedro Langley and Frank Ford ended up on a blind date. And it was quite a scene, Pedro Langley insisted that he was "Isa," and forced the date to proceed.

The more Frank Ford spoke, the more agitated he became, "Master Pedro was really a beast back then, I don’t know how he managed to do it without batting an eye..."

Nora Scott laughed heartily, leaning on Pedro Langley’s shoulder.

—He really knew how to play.

Seeing that Nora Scott was quite interested, Frank Ford talked more enthusiastically, digging up dirt on Pedro Langley with Nora Scott, speaking whatever came to mind. Although Pedro Langley was the one being aggrieved, the atmosphere inevitably turned lively and joyful.

Pedro Langley: "..."

For the sake of Nora Scott’s happiness, he temporarily refrained from being harsh on Frank Ford.

Eating and chatting, even enjoying a few drinks, time passed quickly.

Frank Ford became a bit sentimental, having had little time for fun since starting graduate school; the last time he leisurely grilled at home was half a year ago.

"Why did you suddenly decide to go to grad school?" Nora Scott casually asked.

Frank Ford was only a bit younger than Pedro Langley. Logically, if he went straight to grad school after college, he could be pursuing a Ph.D. by now.

Some people work for two years before pursuing a master’s, usually because they’re unhappy at work... Frank Ford likely didn’t have that problem.

"Oh, just an accident," Frank Ford said, "Two years ago, I saw a great poster on a forum, who did a detailed explanation of the geology of the Northwest. Several articles were very hardcore, plus the scenic pictures were beautiful, I got inspired and wanted to delve into geology, so I applied for a master’s."

In the eyes of others, "wanting to go and getting in," especially at a top geology school, would warrant some amazement.

But to someone like Nora Scott, who got into Capital Tech in a year, it wasn’t too surprising.

"Oh. It’s a wonderful accident." Nora Scott casually commented.

Posting a few articles that inspired someone to pursue further study... wasn’t that contributing to the country?

"By the way, the poster’s ID was Living Map of Northwest." Frank Ford continued, "I private messaged him and chatted a few times, but then he stopped being online."

Nora Scott: "..."

For some reason, upon hearing "Living Map of Northwest," Pedro Langley reflexively glanced at Nora Scott.

Coincidence?

Seeing Nora Scott’s knowing expression, Pedro Langley instantly judged: no.

But—

Beautiful scenic photographs?

As Frank Ford went to fetch the ingredients, Pedro Langley leaned closer to Nora Scott, quietly asked about the least sensible part of the story.

"Borrowed from a photographer friend." Nora Scott said helplessly.

Pedro Langley: "..." That makes sense. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Despite not being a fan of using her phone, whenever she had spare time, Nora Scott was a regular visitor to various forums and sites. Due to work, she frequently changed phones, so she had many accounts with lifespans spanning her use of a particular phone number.

Some accounts were obscure, others gained a bit of authority due to their informative content.

But none could be accessed now.

Encountering too many people and incidents daily. The story Frank Ford mentioned was something Nora Scott had long forgotten, with no need to admit it to Frank Ford.

Just like she said earlier—

A wonderful accident, enough in itself.
