Chapter 111 Giving up, Not Caring Anymore
With no way to avoid him, Norah could only walk up to him and say, "I just wanted to get some fresh air,
so I came out."
"What about your phone? Why is it turned off?" Shawn looked at her phone.
Norah bit her lip and replied lightly, "Maybe it ran out of battery and turned off automatically."
At this moment, she had no idea that Shawn had almost searched the entire city to look for her.
He didn't mention the difficult process at all.
In the end, he just walked up to her and took her hand.
Since he had come, Norah knew she couldn't escape.
She didn't resist and let him take her hand, following him into the car.
On the way back, a sudden strong wind blew as if it was about to rain heavily. The trees on both sides
of the street were swaying wildly.
Norah looked out the window calmly, not saying a word.
It wasn't until they turned left at a traffic light that she realized something was different. "Aren't we going
home?"
"I'm taking you to dinner," Shawn said.
"Okay."
Norah replied lightly, with no expression on her face, neither agreeing nor refusing.
When the car stopped outside the restaurant, it was already pouring rain outside, and large raindrops
hit the car.
Since this restaurant didn't have an underground parking lot, they had to enter from outside.
As soon as Norah got out of the car, Shawn said immediately, "Wait a moment."
The next moment, he got out of the car and took an umbrella, making sure everything was ready before
finally taking Norah's hand. "Let's go."
"Thank you!"
Norah still had a calm expression on her face after thanking him.
She was no longer the naive girl she used to be.
She had long passed the age where a piece of candy could make her happy for the whole summer.
Maybe she had been hurt too much, or maybe her heart was too deeply wounded. Norah suddenly
realized that this "sweetness" could not heal the pain in her heart.
Her heart was still very cold and painful.
They arrived at a VIP room on the second floor which was very tastefully decorated.
The room was peaceful and quiet, with the scent of orchids lingering in the air. Through the window,
they could see a small garden below and hear the sound of the rain outside.
As soon as they arrived, the manager came in and respectfully asked, "Mr. Lawson, would you like us
to serve the dishes now?"
"Are you hungry?" Shawn asked Norah.
"I'm fine with anything. It's up to you."
Shawn looked at the manager. "Okay, bring us the food now."
Soon, one exquisite dish after another was placed on the table, each one perfectly cooked and
presented.
At that moment, the familiar melody of a piano began to play in the hall on the second floor. It was one
of the songs Norah liked.
Norah wasn't stupid. With just one glance, she understood everything.
He had asked someone prepared all these in advance.
Just then, the lights in the room went out.
Norah thought there was a power outage, but the next moment, a beautiful cake was brought in.
Shawn held a bouquet of roses and looked at her tenderly. "Norah, happy birthday!"
At this point, she should have remained unmoved.
But for some reason, her heart melted.
"You..."
Her voice exposed what she was thinking.
"Do you remember my birthday?" Her voice couldn't help but tremble.
"Of course, I always remember it. I prepared all of this a long time ago," Shawn said.
They had been married for two years, and he had celebrated her birthday before, but it had always
been a formality. Even the birthday cake and gifts were chosen and given by Anthony.
But this time, Shawn had personally celebrated her birthday with her.
However, for Norah, this feeling of being touched and pleasantly surprised came too late.
Yes, it was too late. Her heart couldn't hold any more expectations for him.
Even when Shawn placed the necklace and earrings in front of her, she was unusually calm.
"Let me put them on for you," he said.
Norah didn't agree or refuse.
But even so, Shawn acted like a gentleman, putting on the necklace and earrings for her.
If it weren't for that phone call, Norah thought that she might have been unable to control her emotions
before the meal ended, and her heart would have softened.
But life was unpredictable, and one could never know what would happen in the next moment.
When all the dishes were served and they picked up their forks to eat, Shawn's phone suddenly rang.
Norah didn't stop eating. She continued to serve herself food and ate slowly and delicately.
The food was delicious, but she was not interested in it anymore.
She had no appetite.
The call was from Lilian.
Norah was not sure what Lilian had said, but Shawn's eyebrows were tightly furrowed the whole time.
He kept his lips pursed, his aura cold as ice. Although he didn't say a word, it made her shiver.
Finally, he hung up the phone.
Shawn opened his mouth and looked at Norah in a dilemma.
He hesitated several times and was about to say something, but before he could speak, Norah spoke
first, "It was Lilian, right? Let me guess. Is she in danger again? And only you can help her."
"Yes." Shawn nodded truthfully.
Hearing his answer, Norah stopped eating.
She raised her pretty face and couldn't help laughing sarcastically. "I knew it, but Miss Fountain always
uses the same trick. Even I am tired of it. Can't she come up with something new?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Norah, it's different this time."
"You always say that. When we got married, she had a car accident. Last time, she tried to commit
suicide. What happened to her this time? Has she been kidnapped?"
"Lily has indeed been kidnapped," Shawn looked at her and replied seriously.
"Ha-ha..." Norah laughed, ran her fingers through her hair, and swept it behind her ear. "Her
experiences are truly unique. Bad things always happen to her. Shawn, have you ever considered that
all these incidents might be fake?"
"Everything is just an act. She never had a car accident, never tried to commit suicide, and was never
kidnapped. All she wants is for you to abandon me and go save her recklessly."
"This is a serious matter. I don't want to speculate or make assumptions," Shawn said solemnly.
"If I'm right, no matter what happens tonight, you'll go save her, right? If that's the case, then go,
Shawn."
"What?"
Hearing this, Shawn raised his head in disbelief.
In the past, she always opposed and refused whenever he went to save Lily.
But today, she actually didn't say anything and allowed him to go so easily.
Shawn looked at Norah's calm eyes and felt that something was different, but he couldn't pinpoint what
it was.
However, he was certain about one thing. Norah was too calm and generous today.
"What's wrong? Don't you believe I'll let you go?"
After speaking, Norah opened the door and pointed outside. "Go ahead. I won't stop you no matter
what happens."
"I always thought you were the wrong one, but it's not. I am the wrong one. So, Shawn, I won't stop
you. Go ahead."
