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.

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.

In an instant, her heart raced with excitement. Her disappointment and sadness faded, replaced by excitement and joy. Her hand holding her phone trembled slightly.
