Norah looked at the weighty message on her phone, filled with significance.
After a moment of hesitation, she called Shawn.
"Hello, Norah."
Shawn answered quickly, as if he had anticipated her call.
"Is everything you just said true? Do you really have a way to get Professor Greer's help for me?"
Norah asked.
Although it was bait laid by Shawn, when she called and only asked about this, his heart suddenly
ached.
Something was tearing at his heart, and a big hole was left.
He even wondered if she wouldn't have answered his call or met him if it weren't for the need to find
Professor Greer.
With a lump in his throat, Shawn said, "It's true. If you want, come find me after work tonight."
"Okay."
As soon as Norah finished speaking, Shawn hung up the phone.
He hung up quickly, afraid that he would feel even worse.
"You..."
Norah was about to ask how he was recovering, but before she could start, he had already ended the
call.
After work, Norah changed her clothes and went straight to Shawn's place.
When she arrived, he had already changed his clothes and packed his bags.
Norah was surprised, "Are your wounds healed? Are you ready to be discharged so soon?"
"Yeah, almost."
Beside him, Anthony frowned. His boss was so stubborn.
He said that he was fine, but in fact, his condition was terrible.
He had stayed in the cold all night yesterday, and he hadn't eaten properly all day today. How could he
possibly be fine?
However, the air around him was so cold that he didn't dare tell Norah the truth.
The two got in the car, and twenty minutes later, the scenery became more and more familiar.
Norah finally realized the situation. "It seems like we're on the way back to the Lawson Mansion."
"Yeah." He nodded. "We haven't been home for a long time. Mom and Dad miss us a lot and want us to
come home for dinner tonight."
"Oh."
Norah had mixed feelings.
It had been a while since she divorced him.
But given his words, he probably hadn't told his parents yet.
So, they didn't know about their divorce.
When they arrived at the Lawson Mansion, Marty and Susan were already waiting. A hearty meal had
been prepared, and the food was all their favorite.
The car stopped, and Shawn got out of the car first, followed by Norah.
She looked at everything in front of her and quickly suppressed her emotions.
In retrospect, since her grandfather passed away, she had hardly returned here.
As she thought of her grandfather, her heart ached again.
Shawn stood straight beside her, his arm forming an arc.
Getting no response from her, he said, "Since it's a show, let's play the whole act and not let them see
any flaws."
Norah nodded and held onto his arms.
Hand in hand, they headed inside.
When Susan saw it, tears welled up in her eyes. The two kids were made for each other. Why did they
break up?
She felt sorry for the old man, failing to persuade Shawn and Norah.
She also felt sorry for Shawn.
Her marriage was terrible, and she didn't expect her son to fail in his marriage.
As they approached, Susan immediately suppressed her emotions.
At the same time, she nudged Marty and warned, "They're coming over. Be careful, and don't let them
see any flaws."
Since their son didn't want them to know about the divorce, they would pretend not to know.
Although the two had divorced, she still held onto a glimmer of hope.
Hoping that one day, they could come back together and remarry.
During dinner, Susan and Marty both picked up food for Norah.
"Here, Norah, have some shrimp. It is fresh and tender. Try it," Susan said.
Just as Norah took the plate, Susan handed her another delicate bowl, saying, "And the chicken soup
is tasty. Have a bowl while it's hot."
"Thank you, Mom!"
Norah had just finished speaking when Marty placed a rib in her bowl. "Try the ribs. I asked the chef to
cook it according to your taste."
"The duck is fresh out of the oven. It's crispy. Have some."
Norah was flattered by their hospitality.
Holding the bowl in her hands, she felt a sense of weight.
This was a gesture of love from the two elders. No matter what, she had to finish them.
Halfway through the meal, they picked up more food for her.
Norah took the food and said, "Mom and Dad, that's enough. You've already picked up a lot for me. You
guys should eat too."
"Eat more. It's been a while since we last saw you. Look at how skinny you've become."
Marty turned to Shawn and scolded him, "How did you take care of her? As a grown man, you can't Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
even take care of your wife?"
"Dad, it's not Shawn's fault. He takes good care of me. I have lost a little weight because I've been
busy with work and sometimes stay up late."
Susan also looked distressed. "Your dad is right. It's shameful if a grown man fails to take care of his
wife."
She glanced meaningfully at Marty.
Marty immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
Susan continued to pick up food for her. "Eat more. You're so skinny now that a gust of wind could blow
you away. If your grandpa were still here, I wonder how heartbroken he would be?"
The mention of the old man made everyone feel sad.
Holding the fork, Norah's hand trembled.
A sharp pain crawled up in her chest.
It was true. If her grandfather were still alive, he would definitely make people bring her back and watch
her eat.
Then he would check her weight and let her leave only after it reached the standard.
Unfortunately, the old man was no more.
Sadness rose from the bottom of her heart. Norah bent over her plate and dug in food.
Susan looked at Shawn again. "A man's career is important, but what's the meaning of your hard work?
To get a better life for his wife and child.
"Spend less time on work and more time with your wife. Women should be cherished and pampered.
"Let me tell you. Nora is a good girl. If you lose her, you won't find another one as good."
Shawn nodded vigorously, as if making a promise. "Mom, I know.
"Don't worry, I won't lose her."
"Okay." Susan nodded, then looked at Norah again, "Although your grandpa is gone, I will treat you as
well as him. If Shawn does anything wrong, you can just tell me. I will straighten him out for you."
