When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Chapter 704

After a moment’s hesitation, Linda beckoned me to sit with her.

I sat next to Linda but realized Nora refused to look in my direction. Judging by that reaction, I figured she was still mad at me from earlier.

A sharp-eyed Linda also noticed the tension between us and tried to change the subject. “We’re so thankful for your help today. Otherwise, who knows what that scumbag Derek would have done to us.”

“Don’t mention it,” Nora casually replied.

Piqued by curiosity, Linda couldn’t help but continue, “Ms. Oberick, the grandfather you mentioned earlier, is he the Mr. Oberick that I’m thinking of?”

Nora pursed her lips as she pondered about the question. “Don’t think so much. Meeting you was fate, so let’s drink to that!”

 

It was at that moment when I realized how little I knew about Nora. We had initially met in Venria, and even though everyone shared their stories, we all kept them brief. Even I didn’t divulge much about myself, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if she had held back information about herself too.

Linda noticed Nora’s reluctance to elaborate and thus didn’t ask any further. It was also then when the food and drinks got delivered.

 

Linda poured us our wine and raised a toast to us. “Once again, I have to thank the two of you for today. Here’s to our friendship!”

Nora raised her glass of wine in return and drank it in one gulp.
