Xavier's heart skipped a beat, and a tingling sensation spread through him. He instinctively leaned back, pulling his shirt down to cover his bare, broad shoulders. “I'm fine. You can go back now.” “I'll leave when I'm ready,” Norah retorted as she put the medicine away and looked at him seriously. “Why did you get shot? Are you mixed up with skind of gang? Are you going to keep getting into fights?” Xavier fixed his gaze on her. “Scared?” “Yes!” Norah held his gaze. “Scared you'll end up dead!” Xavier was taken aback. Norah pursed her lips, “I don’t care about your past, but from now on, | want you to stay out of trouble. Live a good life, okay?” Xavier wanted to argue that this was who he was, but seeing the redness in her eyes, he simply nodded slightly. “I know my limits.” As adults, especially Xavier, with his wealth of experience and maturity, he didn’t need her preaching.

Norah tucked him in, “Rest for a while. I'm leaving.” “You don’t have to call the time. | don’t mind your visits, but you should have your own life. Besides,” Xavier searched for the right words, “your frequent visit might cause rumors and harm your reputation.” He knew from the uproar online that ruining someone's reputation didn’t require the truth, just a trending topic and someone to stir the pot. Especially since she was from the Lamont family, if someone with an agenda decided to use that against her, how would she withstand the gossip? Norah didn’t seem to care. “You think Damian and your guys can’t see what's going on?” Xavier was momentarily stunned. Blushing, Norah stood up. “I'll head back now. It's Monday tomorrow. I'll cover after work and bring you something delicious!” Xavier was speechless, leaning against the headboard with a wry smile on his face. “Am | a child to you?” Norah's eyes shone as she looked at him. “It’s been a long tsince I've seen you smile.” Xavier's eyes twitched with an awkward feeling. “I'm off!” Norah waved, gave him one last look, and walked out the door. Leaning against the wall outside his room, Norah let out a long sigh, feeling an urge to cry. Because of his wound, because of his smile, because he had softened a bit and wasn’t pushing her away as coldly as before. She wanted to stay with him a little longer, content to just watch him in silence, but she feared that the mood they'd eased into might stiffen again, that he’d tire of her. Henson was right; love not only makes a fool of you, it also brings you low! When Nicolas pursued her, she liked him back, and they naturally ctogether. When she found out about his sordid acts, she was heartbroken, but not with the deep, enduring longing she felt now, nor had she experienced these intense highs and lows of joy and sorrow. Norah calmed her emotions and took another glance at the closed door before turning to leave. Behind the door, Xavier knew Norah hadn't left. His hearing was sharp; he could even hear her muffled sobs. He was shocked. What about him was worth such [x | Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

affection? A different feeling spread through his heart, and he frowned, stopping himself. He had allowed Norah to cto his shop as an excuse, to make her see more clearly the gap between them. He couldn't let his feelings lead him astray just because he was moved. She was young and naive, and he couldn't make a mistake! Xavier reached for his cigarettes, only to remember Norah had taken them. She was trying to control him already, and they weren't even together. God help him if they ever were! Xavier snorted and picked up his phone to call Damian. “Geta pack of smokes!” “Boss, Norah just left, and she said not to buy you any cigarettes,” Damian said. Xavier narrowed his eyes. “You're taking orders from her now?” “I listen to whoever makes sense,” Damian chuckled. Xavier clicked his tongue. “Quit your yapping and getmy smokes!” “Boss, | really can’t.

Plus, Norah said if you try to go out and get them yourself, she'll...” Damian’s voice trailed off, barely containing his laughter. “She’ll do what?” Xavier asked in a hoarse voice, skeptical. “She’ll take out an ad declaring her love for you all over town!” Xavier was speechless.
