Fated to Love You Again (Shawn and Norah)
Chapter 135 Cheap and Belated Affection

Chapter 135 Cheap and Belated Affection

Norah didn't know when Shawn turned into such a proud gentleman with a good tongue.

Now she even couldn't refuse him directly.

The night in the ancient town was attractive.

Even the moon was as gentle as being washed by water.

The moonlight silently poured on them.

Norah and Shawn walked side by side to the ancient mansion. They kept quiet all the way, as if they had a tacit understanding.

"Ah..." Suddenly, Norah let out a cry.

Shawn hurriedly grabbed her hand and balanced her.

It turned out that a pothole appeared on the downhill road. Norah ignored it and almost fell down.

After regaining her balance, Norah gently disentangled herself from Shawn's grip and said politely, "Thank you."

Anyway, Shawn should respond appropriately.

However, seeing her hazy and beautiful cheeks in the moonlight, he felt bitter and could not say anything.

On this day, she laughed it up appealingly and enchantingly.

For a moment, he felt they traveled back to the moment of their first meeting when there had been always a bright smile on her lovely and innocent face. He even thought that Norah let go of the past and wanted to get a new start.

However, all the illusions were broken at this moment.

Norah didn't forget.

It was not a "let-it-go" smile, but the one to cover up.

When the night came, she suddenly stopped all her smiles, returned to the indifferent attitude, and distanced herself from him again.

That was why she quickly withdrew her hand;

That was why she expressed her thanks so politely.

Her politeness made him uneasy, like a stick across his heart, or a fishbone stuck in his throat.

If it was possible, he wished Norah could skip beside him with a smile and made a noise.

However, the happiness would never happen again.

At the door, Norah looked up, and saw the whole ancient mansion was bathed in the bright moonlight. The two lanterns dotted in front of the gate were particularly beautifully soft. Entering the gate, she smelled a faint fragrance of flowers.

At this time, Shawn hung up the phone and followed Norah.

With a bang, a dazzling firework suddenly bloomed over the mansion.

Then, it followed the second and the third...

Soon, the whole sky merged into a sea of fireworks, which slid across the sky like meteors, blooming colorful flowers in all shapes, forming a red, yellow, and blue beautiful scene. The fireworks lit up the whole mansion in an instant.

In the dim light, Shawn looked at the surprised expressions on her delicate face.

She raised her head and looked happy, making a gentle smile.

"It's worth it."

At that moment, Shawn's mind only rested on this thought.

Everything else seemed unimportant.

Fireworks lasted for a long time.

The whole sky was lit up, and Norah always kept a smile.

After the last firework was in full bloom and died out, Shawn walked over and asked, "Is it beautiful?"

"It is." Norah nodded, "I didn't expect to meet such a surprise."

She smiled with obvious excitement and joy.

Shawn looked at her and said nothing.

After watching the fireworks, they went to the room.

"We live here at night." Shawn said.

Seeing the neat bedroom and the clean and warm bed quilt, Norah felt warm and was pleased by the cozy air. "Okay." She nodded.

Hearing her simple answer, Shawn felt that she might not fully understand his meaning.

With a slight cough, he explained, "I mean, we both live in this room."

Norah pointed to the only bed in the room and asked in disbelief, "You mean, we both live in the same bed in the room?"

"Yes." Shawn nodded, "There are only two rooms. The other one is filled with sundries, and has no bed."

He implicated that he had no other place to live except here.

Norah was speechless.

She thought that Shawn was better at pretending to be poor.

It was a pity for him not to be an actor.

"I know you don't want to sleep in the same bed with me. If you refuse, it doesn't matter. I'll replace a hotel in town."

"How long does it take from here to the town?" Norah asked.

Shawn said calmly, "It's about a 20-minute drive, but there is few taxi here at night, so it takes about an hour to walk." Norah was speechless.

After all, she lived in Shawn's house, and it seemed that she had no reason to drive him out.

Finally, Norah made a compromise, "Since it's inconvenient, then stay here. You can sleep on the bed. Is there a quilt in this room? I'll make a bed on the floor."

"Yes." Shawn nodded.

He knew that this was Norah's biggest concession. He should satisfy and couldn't ask for more.

"Then I'll take a shower first. I'm a little tired after running around all day. I want to go to bed early." Norah said.

"Okay."

When she came out of the shower, Shawn was bending down to lay a quilt on the ground. When he looked up and saw Norah, he paused for a moment and quickly looked away.

But no matter how fast he was, he still remembered her fair skin and charming body after taking a shower.

Due to the warm water, Norah's skin was as fair and delicate as a tender teenager rather than a woman who had been married for two years.

Suppressing the sexual desire, Shawn said, "You sleep in the bed and I will make a bed on the floor."

"No need, I'm not delicate, and I can sleep well on the ground."

Norah took off her shoes and walked to the bed on the floor.

Shawn bent over and directly held Norah in his arms and walked to the bed.

In an instant, all her fragrance came into his nose, and the faint fragrance stirred his nerves and almost made his heart boil.

The temperature of his body turned hot and so did his hands that held her body.

Shawn looked away and didn't dare to stare at Norah. He was afraid that he could not suppress his desire.

However, when taking Norah onto the bed, he lost his balance and stepped infirmly. Suddenly, he fell toward Norah.

"Watch out." Norah shouted.

Shawn immediately grabbed the side of the bed and stabilized his body.

When he was ready to get up, he found that they were face to face, and their noses were touching each other. They could not get any closer, even feeling each other's breathing clearly. More importantly, their lips were so close that they could kiss each other as long as moving forward for a few centimeters.
