Chapter 1611

Norah’s heart was a mix of emotions, and whenever she thought of him, she couldn’t help but let a small smile grace her lips. She unlocked her phone, eager to see his response.

However, Xavier didn’t respond.

A wave of disappointment washed over Norah.

She clutched her phone, wondering if he had stepped away for a smoke, or got caught up in a poker with Zachary and the gang, hence, missing her message.

She put her phone down, and after a minute, couldn’t resist picking it back up. He still hadn’t respond.

Feeling a bit annoyed, Norah decided to keep her phone away from her, convincing herself not to wait.

She went to get a glass of water, downed half of it, and rushed back to check her phone, only to find no response.

With a heavy heart and a sense of loss, Norah was about to put her phone down when it vibrated with an incoming call from Xavier.
