Chapter 1646
“In his room making a call, Zachary casually said as he opened a box of pies and asked Damian. “What flavor would
you like?”
I’m not hungry now. Save it for later!” Damian replied.
“I’m going to the backyard to check my roses Norah, with a pies in hand, headed towards the backyard.
Upstairs, Xavier sat in a wicker chair on the balcony, basking in the sunlight, almost dozing off
After a while, His phone vibrated, and he lazily opened one eye to check it. His expression somber; it was a call
from his father, urging him to come home for the festival. This was the third call from his father since yesterday.
He picked up the call, I’ve already told you I’m not coming home. Celebrate without me!”
“Xavier, today is a day for family reunions. How can you not come back? We haven’t celebrated Thanksgiving
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttogether for years,” Mr. Hanson’s voice trembled. “You know my health condition isn’t great. Perhaps this is our last
Thanksgiving together. Could you just fulfill this wish of mine?”
Xavier reached for his cigarettes, his face showing visible indifference. It’s just Thanksgiving. Is it that important?”
“For you, you have many more Thanksgivings ahead. But for me, celebrating Thanksgiving Day with you are
becoming increasingly scarce,” Mr. Hanson said solemnly.
“Fine,” Xavier lit his cigarette with a match, and then checked his wristwatch, I’ll be back at six.”
“Great! That’s great!” Mr. Hanson repeated, “We’ll be waiting for you.”
“Fine. Bye”
Xavier hung up, planning to spend a short while with them at home and then return. He had no connection to that
family, and he had no intention of encountering Mya and her daughter.
After finishing his cigarette, Xavier went downstairs.
Damian and his staff were arranging the pies. When they saw Xavier coming down, they invited him to enjoy the
pies.
“Where did these come from?” Xavier asked in a soft tone.
Norah brought them!” Zachary replied with a hearty laugh.
“She’s here?” Xavier raised an eyebrow slightly, “Where is she?”
Just as Zachary was about to respond, Damian jumped in, “Norah just come to deliver these pies. She probably
want to stay at home for the festival.” Xavier’s expression remained unchanged, he nodded and glanced at the ples
on the table, “You guys go ahead and enjoy
She had come, but she left without saying hello to him?
Xavier found it somewhat strange.
He couldn’t quite place the feeling that arose within him. He turned and headed towards the backyard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce Xavier was out of earshot, Zachary turned to Damian, “Why did you say Norah had left?”
Damian smirked, “Did any of you notice that Norah seems to have a thing for our boss?”
They showed signs of realization and excitement.
“Yeah, Norah is particularly nice to boss!”
“Norah always sticks to the boss!”
“She always thinks of the boss first when there’s something good to eat or drink.”
As they all chimed in, Zachary found it hard to believe, “Our boss sees Norah as a little sister. Besides, they have a
ten-year age gap
Damian lowered his voice, “Whether it’s true or not, let’s pretend we don’t know. Norah is a young girl and she’s
sensitive. Don’t let our joking around seare her off.”
“Agree” Everyone said.
Zachary chuckled, “If our boss actually marries Norah. It’ll be like the ugly duckling turning into a swan!”
“Can’t you speak more elegantly?” Damian rolled his eyes. That’s used to describe women. For our boss, it should
be something more elegant, like being a kept man!”
