Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1542

Chapter 1542

Daisy was holding back discomfort, she still had a soft spot for Xavier. Being accused like this in front of him, she felt extremely embarrassed, as if she wanted to find a hole to crawl into and disappear. 

In her underwear, there was no way she was going to strip down and give her skirt to Norah. All she could do was take out her phone and refund the $6,800 she had just received to Norah, then storm off in a huff. 

Norah settled back in her seat, took a sip of hot chocolate, and was in high spirits. 

Even if she was loaded, she wasn’t about to let a bad apple take advantage! 

Xavier turned to her, murmuring, “Come over!” 

Norah scoffed. I don’t want to sit where she just sat, you come over here: 

Xavier gave a helpless chuckle, got up, and seated himself next to Norah. 

“What do you want to eat? My treat!” Xavier passed the menu to her. 

“Are you trying to thank me? I’m afraid you might not have enough to cover the bill.” Norah propped her cheeks up with both hands, her eyes shimmering under the light, looking absolutely adorable. 

If I can’t pay the bill, you’ll have to stay and wash dishes Xavier jested. 

“Don’t worry, I’ll drag you into dish-washing with me!” Norah retorted immediately. 

Xavier glanced at her and gave a faint smile. “Alright, we’ll wash together. We can clear the bill faster that way” 

Norah’s heart skipped a beat, and a hint of unease flashed across her face. It had been a while since they last sat together and chatted like this after she confessed to him in the backyard and got rejected. 

She collected herself. “Um, my uncle and Estelle are upstairs; shall we join them?” 

“Nah!” Xavier replied, Tm not familiar with Estelle’s friends. 

He checked the time and said, “You should go ppstairs too, I need to get back to the shop.” 

don’t feel like going up either. Norah murmured, stirring her chocolate slowly. 

Xavier gazed out of the window, not saying a word. 

After a while, Norah asked him, “Why did you come to the blind date?” 

Xavier turned his head, speaking flatly. “Someone else arranged it, I didn’t know about it.” 

“Oh!” Norah breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, “So, if I hadn’t shown up, would you two have gone to the movies?” 

“No way!” Xavier answered firmly 

Norah gave a faint smile. “So I actually did you a favor!” 

Xavier nodded. “Yes, I was at a loss on how to turn her down.” 

“Then you should thank me properly!” 

“Alright, how should I thank you?” 

In the dim light, Norah and Xavier locked eyes. She seemed to catch a whiff of a faint floral scent, speaking softly, “Treat me to a movie, consider it a thank-you” 

Xavier looked into her innocent eyes, finding himself unable to refuse. He slowly nodded. “Alright, I’ll take you to a movie.” 

“Let’s go now!” Norah got up immediately, picking up her phone. T’ll buy the tickets now.” 

“Eat something first. Xavier noticed she hadn’t touched her dessert, 

“I’m not hungry, let’s get going!” Norah pulled Xavier up, eager to leave.
