Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 354:

Norah was slightly unfriendly toward Luna, but she remained patient with Shayla.

She knelt down, wrapped Shayla in her arms, and then stood up, asking casually, “Good girl, where is your daddy?” Shayla wrapped her arms around Norah’s neck. “Daddy left; no Mommy and no me.”

The child’s words were fragmented, yet the message was clear.

Norah vividly remembered Luna crying at the birthday party, pleading with Dooley not to leave her, even using Shayla’s tears to try and change his mind.

“Have you and Dooley separated?”

“We’re fine. Why bring up such a bad topic? Are you done with work? Haven’t you eaten yet?”

Luna stepped closer, trying to link arms with Norah, but Norah subtly stepped aside.

“I haven’t eaten, and I have no plans to eat at your house. Luna, what are you really up to?”

She lowered her gaze, while Shayla, in her embrace, looked up at her with big, innocent eyes.
