Come on Daddy!

Nora looked at Freya with gratitude, and smiled, "Thank you, Freya."

"You're welcome, Ms. Nora. What I can do is to accompany you and take good care of you. That's my pleasure." Freya loved Nora as much as her own daughter.

"Freya, I think you are more like my mother. Without your care and company, I think my life would be lonelier." Nora took Freya's hands that were rough from years of housework, but Nora didn't care.

"Don't say that, Ms. Nora. Your ladyship would be angry if she hears that." Freya was a little surprised, "Master and Madame love you very much. You are their only biological daughter."

"Yes, they love me and have never mistreated me in material life since childhood, so they took away my most important thing in exchange for it." Nora was referring to her love affair with Oscar.

If Oscar had not died, she might not have resented her parents so much. But he died, and she could not forgive her parents. Therefore, Nora would not go back home unless in the Spring Festival. Gradually, they drifted apart.

Alan knew that Nora was referring to her previous love, but he just pursed his lips and said nothing.

Nora looked at Alan, knowing that he was being very careful. "This has nothing to do with you. I'm not going to get you involved. If they didn't marry me to you, they'll marry me to someone else. At least I'll have my own freedom when I marry you, and you respect me. Alan, though it's not my wish to marry you, you're a good husband. Thank you."

"Don't say so, Nora." Alan put the chicken soup in front of Nora and gave it a light blow.

Nora looked at the chicken soup. Not wanting to waste Freya's effort, she took a sip.

The delicious chicken soup was mixed with sweet red dates, and it smelt fragrant.

Only Freya knew what she wanted to eat.

Nora had had half a bowl of soup.

"I can't have more." Nora had done her best. This was the most soup she'd had in a while.
