Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 264:

Reclining with his back against the headboard, Kason found a rare moment of comfort. His striking looks had captivated many of Glophia’s elite, yet now, his gaze was fixed solely on the documents sprawled before him on a tray table.

Kaiden observed quietly, understanding that Kason’s thoughts were likely with Norah.

Shifting his mood, Kaiden ventured, “Uncle Kason, do you have a moment?”

Kason, his eyes still on the papers, responded curtly, “What is it?” He suspected Kaiden was seeking another favor, perhaps caught up in some new mischief.

“Uncle, any word on Norah?” Kaiden asked.

Lifting his gaze, Kason’s voice carried a mix of impatience and resignation. “Why bring this up? I haven’t crossed paths with Norah in days. Aren’t you aware?” Their interactions had been nonexistent, both in person and over the phone. The sight of Norah’s picture on his phone often left Kason lost in thought, reminiscing about past events.

“Uncle, do you harbor feelings for Norah?” Kaiden probed, trying to gauge Kason’s reaction. It was a new line of questioning for Kaiden, driven by a suspicion that Kason might indeed have feelings for Norah.

Kason felt a stir at the question. “And why do you ask?”
