Chapter 21:

Kason’s voice was icy as he said, “Just go see your great-grandpa and then head out. Don’t expect to stay here. You’re not invited.”

Kaiden looked full of sorrow and pleaded, “Come on, Kason. It’s time for a meal. Can’t I just eat with you?”

Kason declined sharply. “I didn’t order the meal for you.”

Kaiden objected, “But there are so many dishes on the table, aren’t there?” His eyes then shifted to Norah, sitting across from them, guessing that Kason might prefer dining alone with her. He had yet to see Norah’s face behind the mask, and his curiosity was piqued.

Sean glanced at the papers in his hand, turned a page, and casually asked, “Did she mention when she’s coming to the Scott family’s residence?”

“Not yet,” Phillip responded, mopping the sweat from his brow. Since their last encounter, Norah had vanished without a trace.

With a laugh, Sean murmured, “Norah.”

He tossed the documents onto his desk and declared, “Let’s go. We’re visiting Devante.”

Meanwhile, Kaiden failed to sway Kason and left the villa dejected. Resting against the door frame, he said, “Kason, when will I meet your mysterious lady? Since she’s here, why not share a meal?”
