Chapter 296 He Is Still the Bright Light in Her World
Seeing that Dora was alright, Mathew let go of her.
"Thank you!" Dora smiled and looked at him coyly.
For the first time in her life, she had intimate contact with such a handsome young man.
Especially when Dora saw his handsome face, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
At that moment, Norah and Melisa had already walked over after chatting.
"Dora, why did you come out? Are you in a hurry?"
"I'm not in a hurry. I need the two of us to work together, so I came out to find you." Dora replied.
Norah was relieved to hear her say that and looked at Mathew at the same time. "Thank you for
bringing Melisa down to apologize to me. Now everything is clear. We're both relieved."
"And..." Norah smiled and said, "He doesn't have to be jealous over this. He even came to the hospital
to see me."
"He?" Even as calm as Mathew was, his voice sounded a little shaky when he questioned Norah.
"Have you two made up?"
Norah smiled coquettishly. She nodded and said, "Mat, I have to thank you for it. Shawn became
extremely jealous when he heard you asked me to pretend to be your girlfriend last time."
"Technically, Mat, I should be thanking you."
Norah admitted that there were parts of her words that weren't true.
Norah and Shawn weren't together yet. And the relationship between her and Shawn was not eased
because she pretended to be Mathew's girlfriend.
However, it was the only way she could break Mathew's heart and get him to give up on her.
Even though Norah mentioned it accidentally, she knew Mat was a smart guy all along.
Mathew would read her mind at once.
As expected, the light in Mathew's eyes instantly dimmed, but he still looked gentle and calm.
Seeing this, Melisa immediately walked towards Mathew and took his arm. "Mat, in that case, we really
have to bless Norah for finding her happiness."
"Norah, when you get married in the future, don't forget to invite us to your wedding banquet!"
"Okay. I'll definitely remember." Norah said with a smile.
"Norah, go get busy with your work. My brother and I are going up to see my mum."
"Okay."
With that, Melisa and Mathew left.
Watching them leave, Norah couldn't help but feel extraordinarily guilty at the same time.
If Melisa hadn't warned Norah, Norah would have been in a daze. And she would never realize that
Mat had feelings for her.
Now that Norah knew that Mathew liked her, she decided to force Mathew to give up on her as soon as
possible.
Since Norah had no feelings for Mathew, she would not get his hopes up.
That was what Melisa said, and Norah thought Melisa was right.
"Mat, you are a very good friend. And you are the one I admire. Someone as nice as you can surely
find a better girl than me. The important thing is that a girl will surely love you with all her heart. There
will be no one else in her heart."
Norah turned around and looked at Dora. "Let's go inside and get busy."
"Okay."
After the two of them finished their work, Dora hesitated for a moment before asking the question she
had just been wanting to ask. "Norah, are those two siblings your friends?"
"Yes, they are. What about it?"
"That handsome guy stepped in just now and saved me. I want to know his name."
"That guy?" Norah smiled and said, "His name is Mathew. A very nice name."
"Mathew."
Dora parted her lips and uttered the words softly, syllable by syllable.
So his name was Mathew.
That was right.
At the time, Dora didn't know that this name would be a secret she'd been keeping for a long time.
She'd never even dared to reveal it to anyone.
It was just after work when Norah received a call from Shawn.
Looking at his name on the caller ID, Norah put on a smile.
"Will you get off work on time today?" His low voice came into Norah's ears through the phone.
Norah looked around. When Norah was about to speak, Dora immediately smiled and moved closer to
her. "Alright. All right. Go ahead. I know you have a date. Don't worry. There's nothing more to do. Just
leave the remaining bit of work to me."
Shawn heard Dora speak on the other side of the phone.
He chuckled in a low voice. His laugh was soft and sexy.
Norah couldn't help but ask happily, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing. I just suddenly thought of an idiom. Your colleague sounds like a back-seat driver. Look, your
colleague is in more of a hurry than you are."
"Please tell your colleague that I'll be forever in her debt. I'll make up for the dinner I owe her."
"Okay." Norah nodded.
Then, Norah looked at Dora and said, "Dora, thank you then."
"And..." She pointed to the phone and said softly, "He thanked you. He'll buy you dinner someday."
Upon hearing her words, Dora deliberately raised her voice. "Then I'll have to remember that your
boyfriend now owes me two dinners. How to put it? If I ever were in a relationship and needed to leave
work on time, you would have to..."
Norah immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm definitely a better wingman than you are."
"Norah, you got me."
After saying goodbye to Dora, Norah had just left the hospital doors when she noticed Shawn's car
waiting outside.
Norah was quite surprised when she opened the car door and was about to get in.
The back seat of the car was empty except for Anthony, and Shawn wasn't even in the car.
"He didn't come?" asked Norah.
Anthony immediately explained, "Mr Lawson is waiting for you at the destination."
The car drove for quite a while. Norah had thought she would be there soon.
However, Norah didn't get there until she was slightly tipsy and asleep.
When Norah opened her eyes, she realized that the street in front of her was a bit unfamiliar. It was a
little dark on both sides. It seemed as if they were far away from the city.
"Anthony, how much longer?" Norah asked as she opened her bleary eyes.
"Miss Chase, don't worry. We'll be there soon."
After about ten more minutes, Anthony's car finally pulled up in front of a flat area at the top of the hill.
The moment Norah got out of the car, she saw Shawn standing across the street.
Shawn was wearing a suit and tie. He looked very formal. He was born noble and elegant, which
fascinated others deeply.
He stood under the largest spotlight. He had bright eyes. He was handsome and gentle. The light made
his distinctive features look as if they were sculpted.
At that moment, Shawn was like the spotlight of her world, bringing together all the excitement and
unattainable attention.
For a moment, Norah felt like she was back in college.
Shawn stood at the podium while she stood with her classmates.
Shawn was the brightest star to Norah. He was holy, noble, and unapproachable.
Now, Norah could watch everything that belonged to Shawn face to face.
Just as Norah was lost in thought, Shawn came and stopped in front of her.
At the same time, Shawn asked in a sexy voice, "What are you thinking? Or were you mesmerized as
soon as you saw me?"
