Chapter 1021 - 704: Sharing the Love [07] Nora Scott Goes on a Show with Her Unrequited Love from Youth!
Before leaving the barbecue restaurant, the bells CP’s livestream had already closed.
Nora Scott and Pedro Langley finished up and headed back home, bidding farewell to the program crew at the restaurant entrance.
What they didn’t know was that just in the half-hour after the livestream ended, a crowd swarmed in, almost trapping a few crew members who hadn’t left yet. Luckily, Nora and the others left early, or they would’ve been stuck in the restaurant unable to leave.
The next day, before Henry Chapman’s barbecue restaurant even opened, the queue of guests was already a long dragon.
In stark contrast was the store across the street.
—Business was bleak and dismal.
The two stores across the street, one was visited by his sworn brother, the other by his sworn sister.
Thus, this became a topic of conversation.
[Haha, it’s time for a popularity contest! I’m wondering if Nora did it on purpose.]
[What’s up with Actor Chapman, he doesn’t visit the barbecue restaurant associated with his sworn sister but goes to the one across the street instead. Is he against his sworn sister, or did he just go to the wrong store?]
[I want to know if the restaurant Henry Chapman made popular is better than the one Nora Scott popularized.]
[Having tried both, I’d choose the one Nora went to. But it’s not a knock on Henry’s taste, just that Nora is a certified foodie. This place is really tasty, even without "Mr. Jennings", the taste is top-notch. I heard the owner spent nearly a year preparing to open, even switching chefs several times.]
...
Just like that, with Nora Scott’s immense influence, coupled with Henry Chapman’s carefully selected talented chefs, they managed to snatch business from the trendy store across the street.
Henry’s restaurant suddenly became a hit.
After following the news for two days, Nora called Henry, mentioning the matter, "How much have you made?"
"..."
Over the phone, Henry gave her an eye roll.
Because business is so booming, he can’t even go to his own store to eat barbecue now. Fortunately, Humphrey Jennings is still in Fenton City, so he can go to Humphrey’s home or Virtue Retreat at any time to eat, thus his resentment toward Nora isn’t too strong.
He paused, then changed the topic, "The ’Star’s Married Life’ program crew contacted me, asking if I could appear in your livestream."
"Oh." Nora blinked and said, "No need."
"Hmm?"
He didn’t mind doing Nora this favor.
"You’re too dull, not interesting," Nora said frankly.
"..."
But soon, Nora laughed, "Next recording is in Xiangel City, I can show you around the Martial Arts Hall and Martial Arts School."
"..." Actor Chapman, versatile as ever, immediately said, "Then I’ll get back to the director."
"Okay."
Nora smiled.
Antonio Easton’s hometown is Xiangel City.
When Nora was 19, after venturing around the Northwest for a while, her second destination was Xiangel City and Xiangel West area, where she ventured into the Sullivan Clan’s Mechanism City, and also made a bunch of like-minded friends.
—The so-called "like-minded" isn’t referring to one kind of person. It includes those into martial arts, research, environmental protection... various sorts.
And, what caught Henry’s attention was "those into martial arts."
Near Xiangel City, there’s a town known as "Martial Arts Village," with multiple specialized Martial Arts Halls and Martial Arts Schools, with rather complex relationships, interwoven factions and powers, making it a town with a strong "martial arts vibe." Here, involving all sorts of "Three teachings and nine schools", each industry and path is quite interesting.
When Nora first mentioned this to Henry, he was intrigued. Nora said she’d take him to see it if there’s an opportunity, but—
To this day, there hasn’t been a chance.
Now, Nora brings it up again, and Henry has some free time, so naturally, he agrees.

The next livestream is in a week.
During this week, Nora, amidst nurturing, studied mechanism diagrams.
Meanwhile, the technical team, who had previously visited Cloudwater Haven, started formally collaborating with Hardy Rivers and Daniel Ford. After a few short days of understanding, they began to get hands-on, and the progress slowly started to improve.
And—
Three days before the second livestream of "Star’s Married Life", the official released the latest preview notice.
Three couples will be recording at the same location.
Including interaction.
Including tasks.
Recording their lives separately as couples seemed quite dull, but the synergy promised to be flavorful.
The online reaction was quite positive.
But, as they dug slightly deeper, they suddenly uncovered an astonishing scoop—
Third couple’s Nora Scott, had once pursued the second couple’s Lennon Turner!
The whole internet: "..." Whoa, stirring things up!
Just as they were bewildered, countless old rumors surfaced, with specialists auditing them, laying them in front of them, forcing them to swallow them down.
Back then, the news was spread everywhere.
[My Heavenly Immortal once had such poor taste?! She was so pure and innocent with an angelic face, yet she fell for such a greasy, unattractive old guy?!]
[Damn, compared to that, I suddenly accept Nora marrying Pedro! Thanks to Lennon Turner for not accepting her back then!]
[Suddenly eager for the next livestream! Hahaha, a hell of a show is about to unfold!]
[Just want to ask Nora: Bringing your current husband to appear on a show with the god you couldn’t win over, how do you feel?]
[I mean, given how good Nora’s situation is, why would she be so persistent with such a guy? Her past taste... I’m utterly baffled. A living history of failure.]
[Nora shouldn’t participate in this program, all her past affairs have been dug up. Doesn’t she feel awkward? Or is it that she wants to maintain exposure at all costs. Would she die if she doesn’t hype things up?]
