Chapter 177 Norah, I Like You Too (1)
Upon hearing those words, Shawn was immediately stunned, frozen like a statue.
What did he just hear?
Did she say she liked him?
So, was he the man she liked?
But how could that be?
If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed it.
"Norah..." Shawn lowered his head, calling out her name with tenderness and excitement.
At that moment, his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his body, and he was too excited to express it in words.
"I didn't hear wrong, did I? You really like me?" He gently touched the tears rolling down Norah's face, patiently asking.
Norah looked up, her tear-filled eyes gazing softly at him. Before she could speak, tears ran down her cheeks.
"Don't cry."
"Don't cry, Norah."
Seeing her cry, Shawn felt heartbroken. He held Norah in his arms and pulled her close to him. Then he lowered his head and kissed away her tears gently.
One tear, two tears...
As long as Norah shed tears, he kissed them away softly.
Throughout the process, he was gentle beyond words.
But the gentler he was, the harder Norah cried.
She even thought she was dreaming because only in her dreams would he be so gentle to her.
Today, he had been so cold to her all day, treating her like a stranger.
How could he suddenly be so good to her?
"Shawn..." Norah sobbed softly, holding his hand. "Am I dreaming?"
"Fool, I'm right here with you. How could this be a dream?"
"But..." Norah hugged herself, curled up, and said pitifully, "You treated me like a stranger. You didn't stop me even when I was drinking. You just watched as others bullied me."
"Shawn, you just bullied me during the day. How could you suddenly be so good to me?"
Thinking of those scenes, Norah couldn't forget them.
In the private room, his gaze and tone were too cold, like a sword thrust into her heart.
"I'm sorry, Norah. I was wrong. It was my fault." Shawn held her face. Now, he regretted it deeply.
Xander was right. He was stupid. There were so many ways, but he chose the dumbest and most circuitous one.
Not only did he hurt himself, but he also hurt her.
"If you're sad, you can hit me or punish me. Anything is fine, but please don't ignore me." Shawn coaxed her tenderly.
Norah looked at him and suddenly reached out her slender and delicate fingers, touching his face.
She caressed his eyebrows, nose, and finally, his thin lips.
"But how can I bear to ignore you?"
She loved him so much. How could she bear to ignore him?
Norah's fingers gently caressed Shawn's lips.
The touch was so soft. He was just by her side and accompanied her. But she still felt empty in her heart.
At that moment, looking at his red lips, Norah suddenly stopped thinking. Her mind was blank as if she deliberately didn't want to think about anything.
She just followed her feelings and leaned in, pressing her soft lips against Shawn's.
In the past, it was always he who took the initiative.
But this time, Norah was particularly impatient as if she wanted to prove something.
She kissed him eagerly, almost completely abandoning the shame and awkwardness in her heart, using all her courage to kiss him recklessly.
She only wanted to do what she wanted and indulge herself once, expressing her true feelings.
But just as she kissed him for a moment, she realized that something was wrong.
