Chapter 1647


    The guy next to him was taking a sip of water and ended up spraying it out.


    Zachary wasughing so hard that mrs were exposed. Their boss, Xavier, living off a woman?


    That wasughable!


    Of course, Xavier had no idea he was the topic of his staff’s chit-chat. He felt a strange heaviness,


    probably due to the fact that he was about to return to the Hanson family soon.


    He walked through the kitchen and headed towards the backyard. When he entered, he saw a girl in


    overalls by the tap, filling a water jug. She was half-crouching, with a big catymg at her feet, allowing


    her to pet it.


    A branch of a rose happened to lean over. With her delicate and lively profile, the whole backyard


    suddenly burst to life.


    Xavier’s heart skipped a beat. Didn’t Damian say she had left?


    He paused for a moment, and then stepped into the yard, casually asking, “Why did youe over on


    such a important festival?”


    Norah turned her head at the sound of his voice, her eyes twinkling mischievously, she chirped, “I


    missed you!”


    Xavier suddenly looked up, furrowing his brow unconsciously and saying, “Norah, if you keep this up,


    I’ll call Jonathan right away!”


    Norah raised an eyebrow, muttering under her breath, I’m in my thirties, I can date anyone without my


    parents’ permission?”


    Xavier was so frustrated that his forehead veins throbbed, “Date? I will tell Jonathan to stop youing


    here. He didn’t want you toe here in the first ce!


    Norah stood up and walked over to him, “Alright, don’t be mad, I was just kidding!”


    Her doe-like efes stared at him, and her voice carried a hint of coyness, making Xavier’s heart ache.


    He kept silent without uttering a word.


    1 came all the way see you on this holiday, and you’re giving me a cold shoulder Norah said, looking at


    him innocently.


    Xavier tock a deep breath without showing any emotion, “You better go home now!”


    1 will leave in a while!” Norah held a water bottle in one hand and pulled out a half-eaten pumpkin pie


    from her overalls with the other, “Here, have some


    Xavier presumed the other half of the pumpkin pie was eaten by Norah, and he declined, “I don’t like


    sweets!”


    “This is pumpkin; it’s not very sweet!” Norah grinned, “Just try a bit!”


    Xavier looked at her smile, which melted his heart, and took the pie and took a bite.


    “How does it taste? Norah asked and her eyes full of anticipation.


    Xavier nodded, “It’s not bad!”


    Norah burst into a grin, “It must be delicious. The cat took a big bite and devoured half of it in one go. If


    I didn’t stopped it, there would be none left for you!


    Xavier looked at Norah in shock, “The cat ate the other half of the pie?”


    “Yep!” Norah nodded.


    Xavier, holding the quarter pie left in his hand, his face turned pale, “Norah.”


    “Just kidding” Norah burst intoughter, “I ate it, actually!”


    Xavier looked at her suspiciously, then at the cat who was wagging its tail beside them


    “Don’t believe me?” Norah raised an eyebrow, “Then I’ll show you!”


    She reached up, took hold of Xavier’s wrist, and in one swift movement, took a bite of the pie in his


    hand.


    Her soft lips brushed against his fingers. Xavier felt his heart race, his body stiffening.


    Norah, whose cheeks stuffed with pie, looked adorable, “Now, do you believe me?”

    Her innocent demeanor made it seem as if she had no idea how provocative her recent action might be


    for a man.
