Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 44:

When Kason revealed his friendship with Norah, the three members of the Carter family were taken aback. They hadn’t pictured Norah and Kason knowing each other. Since Kason had returned and taken charge of the Hayes family, he hadn’t mingled with other notable families. The connection between Norah, known to be an illegitimate child, and Kason baffled them.

Madeline’s left hand was balled into a fist, yet her smile remained soft. “We’ve just learned about your friendship with Norah, Mr. Hayes. However, I must point out, given that Norah resides in Dreamview Villas, there’s hardly any need for your keen interest in her.”

From behind Madeline, Kathy added, “Norah seems to be catching the attention of quite a few men.”

Joanna, known for her fiery temperament, was ready to lash out at Kathy. Once, when Jordy had the nerve to upset Norah, Joanna had smashed a beer bottle over his head, forcing him to apologize. She was about to react again when Norah caught her wrist to stop her.

Moving ahead, Norah confidently said, “I don’t live in Dreamview Villas. Is that a problem? Maybe you’re just envious?”

Kason, well-informed about Norah’s background, was aware of these details.

“Miss Powell, Miss Carter, perhaps you should focus on your own lives rather than interfering in others’. As far as I know, Norah is no longer Mrs. Carter, having divorced Mr. Carter.”

“Thus, her personal matters are no concern to you,” Kason calmly stated.

Derek, annoyed, retorted, “Norah and I haven’t officially completed our divorce proceedings. Legally, we’re still married. So, why shouldn’t I be involved in her affairs?”

“It seems you acknowledge that the divorce proceedings are ongoing, Mr. Carter,” a chilly voice cut through the tension.

Their attention shifted to the entrance of the Glamour Club, where a tall, authoritative figure stood, bathed in the glow of neon lights, exuding danger and allure in equal measure.

“Mr. Scott,” Kason was the first to acknowledge Sean.

Derek wanted to respond but the memory of their unpleasant encounter at the Krusa Mountain Racing held him back.
