Jonathan chuckled wryly, "And you're still going for it?"

"Absolutely!" Norah retorted stubbornly.

Jonathan fell silent for a moment before asking, "Do you blame Estelle?"

After all, Xavier's rejection of Norah surely took Estelle into account.

Norah shook her head immediately, "Of course not. I'm not that unreasonable. Sure, I have a crush on Xavier, but Estelle is just as important to me as a friend. Plus, she's my aunt-in-law!" Jonathan nodded, "Good that you know it."

Norah pleaded, "Jonathan, I'm an adult. I've finished grad school; I know what I'm doing. My feelings for Xavier might've started out of curiosity, but they're not just a novelty anymore. I'm certain about them." "But Xavier doesn't like you that way!" Jonathan said bluntly.

"Truth hurts!" Jonathan retorted.
