Chapter 1477
“Really?” Norah suddenly felt a twinge in her chest, and her throat tightened as she dropped her gaze. “But you’re
different from Zachary and the others in my heart Xavier blinked in surprise as he looked at the girl in front of him.
His heart sank, and after a long pause, he finally spoke. “Norah, you’re still young. You might mistake your reliance
on men for other feelings.”
Norah suddenly looked up at him, frowning. “I have a dad and uncles. I’m not some ignorant girl who lacks fatherly
love!”
A cold, dry feeling rose in Xavier’s eyes. “But I’m nine years older than you, I could be your uncle. This is
ridiculous!”

Xavier nodded. “Yes, I’m not interested in young girls.”
Suddenly, Norah’s face turned pale, and she looked embarrassed and ashamed. Tm sorry, just pretend I never said
anything” Xavier took a deep breath. “The guy who has a crush on you is great. You guys are a better match. You
should consider it.”
Norah couldn’t stand it anymore, and she nodded haphazardly. “I understand, I’ll consider it.”
She looked quite flustered. Tm going to help Zachary wash the vegetables. Just forget what I just said, I won’t bring
it up again.” She practically bolted after she said that
Xavier watched her retreating figure, feeling a sudden, inexplicable imitation. This was absurd!
Zachary cooked a full table of dishes. When it got dark, everyone gathered around. Some opened wine, and some
served dishes, it was a lively scene.
Norah intentionally sat far away from Xavier. Apart from that, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She joked with
Zachary and Damian, talking about funny incidents at school, which made everyone laugh. However, she only joked
with them and didn’t look at Xavier once
As it got late, Xavier stood up and turned to Norah. “Are you full? I can take you home”
Norah glanced at the darkening sky, picked up her bag, and politely said, “No need, I can take a cab home.”
Xavier could tell that Norah was deliberately keeping her distance from him. That was fine, it was what he wanted
too, so he didn’t say anything. Norah said goodbye to Zachary and Damian. “You guys continue drinking: I’m going
to leave
“Norah, are you coming this weekend?” Zachary immediately asked.
“Of course, why wouldn’t I? Are you trying to fire me?” Norah joked.
“Definitely not! Just come Zachary scratched his head and laughed.

“Bye, everyone!”
Norah picked up her bag and walked towards the exit. Xavier stood up to see her out. “Call me when you get home”
Norah paused in her steps and turned back to smile at him. “I just send a message in the group chat.”
The barbecue shop had a group chat that Zachary set up. The name was quite down-to-earth, “Family Forever”
Xavier nodded slightly. “That works.”
Norah nodded slightly, turned around, and walked out the door.
It was the end of summer and the beginning of fall. There was a cool breeze since it had just rained. Norah shivered
slightly in the wind, and her mind became clearer. The embarrassment of being rejected by Xavier surfaced again.
She tilted her head back and took a deep breath, walking to the side of the road to hail a cab.
