Fated to Love You Again (Shawn and Norah) novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200 Norah's Origins 

Norah looked at the bread in her hand, her eyes stinging with tears. 

The bread warmed her hands. 

She had never felt any warmth from her father since she was little. 

For her, the word 'father' was just an appellation and held no meaning. 

However, when a moment of family affection suddenly came, she realized that she was just a child who longed for the warmth of fatherly love like everyone else. 

She couldn't ask for more than a loaf of bread. She was quite content. 

The rims of her eyes reddened. 

Norah took a deep breath and shoved the bread into her mouth. 

It was tasty. The flavor hadn't changed. 

Seeing that she ate one, Kelvin immediately stood by her side and gingerly asked, "How is it? Good?" 

"Not bad." 

"Good! Have more then." 

Norah ate a few more, but halfway through eating, Kelvin suddenly spoke again. "If you still regard me as your father, help me. I'm at the end of my rope." 

Upon hearing that, Norah abruptly stopped moving. 

A request? 

Heh, there he came again. 

In the end, the joke was on her. 

"So, you bought the bread today not to make up for any fatherly love but just to achieve your goal. To make me go soft and give you more money, right?" 

"It's not like that. I'm your father. Isn't it normal for me to buy you breakfast?" 

"Normal?" Norah sneered. "As a father, you have only bought me breakfast once in the past 20 years. Do you think that's normal? Anyone but you can say that. 

"You want money? Fine. How much do you want this time?" 

Kelvin's eyes lit up, and he held up a finger. 

"15,000 dollars?" Norah asked. 

He shook his head and spoke cautiously. "$150,000." 

"Heh..." Norah scoffed, tossing the bread into a nearby trash can. "You know what? Not to mention $150,000 or $15,000, I don't even have $1,500." 

Kelvin's face fell when he heard Norah's refusal. 

"No matter what, I'm your father. Are you really going to abandon me?" 

"Is that your go-to line every time? Ask yourself. Have you ever fulfilled your duty as a father? When have you ever come to me for anything other than money, eh?" Norah couldn't help but shout. 

"I know I failed you, but ever since Martin took you in, you've been living a life of luxury, with fine food and drink. I am unable to provide that kind of life for you." 

"Is money all I want? What I want is fatherly love. Do you even understand that?" 

The more she spoke, the angrier Norah became. 

"I know, but look at the state I'm in. If I took you back, you'd only have to endure a life of hardship with me." 

"I'd rather face those bitter days and still be happy."
