Nora Harrow returned to the guest room arranged for her by Mr. Green and saw Xavier Warren inside.
"You're back?" Xavier Warren smiled and stood up to greet her, "Is Tessa asleep?"
Nora Harrow responded with a faint "Hmm," then asked him, "Is there something you need? I'm about to rest."
"You're mad." He wanted to give her a hug, but Nora Harrow pushed him away. She pushed him away plainly and asked, "What are you doing?"
Actually, ever since that day when they had agreed to something, the tall man often rested his hand on her shoulder, and occasionally took the opportunity to hug her, which she had always allowed.
This was the first time she showed resistance.
Xavier Warren stiffened.
He looked deeply into her eyes, guessing softly, "You're angry? Did you feel just now that I... I didn't help you? You think it's because I still love Lilith that I spoke up for her? Wasn't it already explained... We just misunderstood each other's perspectives, we were speaking the truth."
