Chapter 32

After he was done speaking, Mr. Riddle Sr. did not bother about Norah anymore and left with Nicole instantly When Nicole turned around, she swept her cold gaze across Norah, mocking her for not knowing her place. Norah was so angry that her eyes turned red that even Samuel thought she was going to cry with disappointment. “Norah… We will leave with you in a while. Don’t cry…” Samuel tried to console her as he sensed that she was upset.

Norah immediately bawled in response, “It’s okay… You already have Nicole. Everyone can just pay attention to her. I’ll be fine; I can go to school by myself.”

She then took her bag and left with tears of disappointment in her eyes.

“Norah…” Gloria saw that Norah had not even taken her breakfast, so she wanted to run after Norah. But Daniel pulled her back. “Just let her be. She has to accept reality sooner or later.” Though Daniel, too, could not bear to do so, it was only a matter of time. Norah would not feel as bad if she acknowledged the truth sooner.

“I’ve neglected Norah.” Gloria was a little guilty.

Samuel looked regretful as well. “Let’s treat Norah better from now on… After all, she has to leave soon, right?”

His remark had shaken everyone at the table.
