Chapter 1450
At the Lamont family’s, Catherine got up and greeted them as soon as she heard the maids’ greeting “Why are you only coming now? I’ve been waiting for you guys since this morning. Next weekend, you’d better show up a bit earlier
Jonathan chuckled “Can’t we enjoy a lazy morning on the weekend?”
Catherine thought for a moment: “You have a point. Then you guys should have lunch and dinner at home”
She pulled Estelle by the hand towards the living room and said. “Don’t rush off to teach just yet. I made some caramel egg pudding for you I’ve been preparing it since this moming Have some before you go off to teach
“Mum!” Jonathan immediately pulled Estelle’s hand back and said, “Let Estelle go teach first! Don’t get too excited, we’ll be coming back often
Catherine still held onto Estelle’s hand. Tve been waiting for her for days, can’t you let me chat with her for a bit?”
Janice came over laughing, saying. “Estelle is already part of the Lamont family Mum has always had a soft spot for her since the moment she first saw her if it were any other young lady, I don’t think they’d be able to handle such an enthusiastic ception”
Estelle chuckled. 1 feel pretty spoiled night now”
Catherine looked at her gently and said, “That’s alright, you’ll get used to it after a few visits”
Jonathan rubbed his forehead and said, “If you keep this up, I won’t bring Estelle back anymore. I have Henson go to her place for lessons instead
“You dare?” Catherine said angrily
Janice sent a signal to Jonathan, put her arm around Estelle’s shoulder, and said to Catherine, “Estelle and I have something to discuss. We’ll let her keep you company for a bit”
Catherine finally let go: Tll have the kitchen prepare some more desserts for Estelle
As Estelle and Janice headed upstairs, she thought Janice’s excuse to pull her away from Catherine was just an act. But to her surprise, Janice meally did take her to the small garden on the second floor. She seemed to have something serious to talk about.
Once they sat down, Janice asked straightforwardly, “Estelle, is Norah dating someone?” Estelle was taken aback. “I don’t know, she never mentioned anything about it to me
Janice wrinkled her brows and said, “She’s been acting off lately. She used to work part-time on the weekends, but today she didn’t go out. She’s been in her room
day and looks like she got dumped
Estelle only knew about Norah’s past with Nicolas. After Nicolas was arrested, their relationship ended.
This time, when she came back to J City, Norah never mentioned having a crush on any guy.
Janice said with a hint of guilt, “Norah’s dad and I are often away on business trips. We’re not home most of the year, and we don’t know much about her growth. She’s always been sensible, taking care of herself and Henson. As long as the guy she likes has good character and truly loves her, I won’t object”
Estelle asked, “Do you want me to ask Norah?”
“Yes” Janice smiled and said, “You guys are classmates. She might be more willing to open up to you. Can you help me ask her?”
“You don’t have to be so polite. I’ll go find Norah right now.” Estelle stood up and said, I’ll go teach Henson later”
“Alright?” Janice smiled gently.
At this moment, Norah was lying on her bed, feeling depressed and uninterested in anything
Her phone was right by her side. She would pick it up and check it from time to time, but there were no calls or messages, which made her even more disappointed. She threw her phone on the bed and buried her head deep into the pillow
However, less than three minutes later, she couldn’t resist picking up her phone again.
There were still no messages on her phone!
Norah clenched her teeth, about to throw her phone away, when suddenly it vibrated in her hand. She looked at the caller ID and suddenly sat up
Her heart was pounding as she stared at the name displayed on her phone. After four or five rings, she finally picked up the call and said nonchalantly, “Hello?” Xavier’s voice was as husky and low as ever. “Why didn’t you come today?”
Norah bit her lip and answered coldly. Tm not coming”
Xavier asked again, “Is it just today, or are you not coming anymore?”
Hearing his indifferent and uncaring tone, Norah suddenly felt a surge of anger and said angrily. “Im not coming anymore”
Xavier paused for a moment, then replied indifferently, “Alright, I’ll have Damian settle your salary for this month and transfer it to you”
Norah’s eyes widened in surprise. Before she could say anything. Xavier had already hung up.
Listening to the sound of the phone hanging up. Noratis tears suddenly flowed down her face it turned out that she was so insignificant in Xavier’s heart!
