Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 147:

“Thanks for your unsolicited advice! You don’t have the right to judge me!” Luna yelled, displeased with Norah’s words.

Luna continued, “Anyway, I am back in Glophia. I just came by to say hello. There will be plenty of time for us to catch up.”

She then took out an invitation from her bag and added, “Dad’s birthday banquet is in two days. I won’t be missing it. Remember, you’re part of the Wilson family. You can’t deny that. You ought to be grateful for the Wilson family’s kindness to you.”

Norah snatched the invitation out of Luna’s hand. “Whether or not I attend is none of your business. Stay out of my private life.”

Norah then glanced at Luna’s obedient daughter and added, “I’ve said all I have to say. Whether or not you pay attention to your daughter’s condition is up to you. She is your daughter, after all.”

Norah turned and left the hospital without a backward glance, leaving Luna frowning and Luna’s little girl looking bewildered.

“Mom, is Auntie…?” the little girl asked, pointing at Norah’s departing figure.

“Let’s go, Shayla,” Luna said to her chubby-faced daughter, unfazed by Norah’s words. To her, Norah was just jealous of her doing well and trying to make her worry.

She vowed not to let Norah deceive her with those words, believing her daughter was completely healthy. She looked forward to the drama that would unfold at their father’s birthday banquet.

Back home, Norah tossed the invitation on the table and headed into the kitchen to cook. The words said yesterday seemed to be effective, as she came back without Susanna’s presence and Sean’s cooking. Smiling, she decided to treat herself to a good meal.

Thinking about Susanna’s complaint about not having tasted her cooking, Norah invited Susanna over for dinner. Susanna happily agreed to come.

Norah was cooking when there was a knock on the door. Upon opening it, she was met with Susanna, Sean, and Phillip. Phillip had just turned around and was about to take his leave after dropping Susanna and Sean off.
