Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 151:

“Luna, don’t you find your words ridiculous?” Norah said, her arms crossed and her tone even, sharing her thoughts. “You should feel fortunate that I’m even inclined to converse with you.”

Voice laced with frustration, Luna countered, “I’m speaking the truth. What’s wrong with my words?” She perceived Norah’s lack of gratitude as a deep flaw.

Shayla, unable to contain herself, chuckled and mimicked the words, “Ridiculous!” Her innocence made her seem endearing compared to Luna.

Without a word, Norah turned and made her way into the hall, declaring, “Your company isn’t necessary. I’m perfectly capable of walking alone.”

Shayla, tugging at her mother’s hand, gestured toward Norah’s retreating figure. “Auntie… Mom, look! Auntie…”

Impatience wearing thin, Luna lifted Shayla into her arms. “Enough with the calling. Who do you prefer, your mom or your aunt? Just stay with me quietly and stop mentioning her.”

Still too young to grasp the situation, Shayla simply adored Norah. She pouted, “Mom, auntie… pretty.”

In the banquet hall, the air was alive with the buzz of conversation among business elites, all dressed in their finest, holding glasses of wine. Children’s laughter and playful shouts filled the space, adding a light-hearted tune to the sophisticated gathering.

Upon Norah’s entrance, heads turned. Her makeup was flawlessly applied, her presence radiant, and she moved with undeniable elegance.

“Is Norah really a Wilson? After her divorce, she ceased all contact with the Wilson family. It led many to assume she was estranged from them,” someone remarked.

“Originally, she married into the Carter family as a Wilson. Despite her divorce, she remains a Wilson at heart,” another person added.

“I’ve heard she secured a considerable fortune from the Carter family when she divorced. Whether it’s fact or fiction, I couldn’t say.”
