Henson watched Norah's frantic figure and gave a cold snort, something was definitely fishy.
Xavier returned to the shop, the others were still playing cards. He took a shower and lay in his bed. He lit a cigarette, but he couldn't stop thinking about the look on Norah's face when she confessed to him in the car.
He was considering whether to tell Estelle about this to give Norah some guidance.
He thought Norah's feelings for him were a mistake.
He might need to reconsider letting Norah quit the barbecue shop.
Norah had finished her studies, she was excellent, and many companies were interested in hiring her, but she did not go to the Lamont Group or any of the companies that recruited her. Instead, she continued to work in the barbecue shop, he had been meaning to talk to her about this.
But the last time they had a stalemate in the backyard, he didn't know how to bring it up, so he didn't.
After smoking two cigarettes in a row, Xavier turned off the light and prepared to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep.
Listening to the shouting of Zachary and the others playing poker outside, he was even more irritable. He got up and said to them, "We have to get up early tomorrow, everyone go to sleep!"
Zachary and Damian were a bit surprised. They usually played until midnight, but it wasn't even eleven yet, and their boss was telling them to go to sleep.
But when Xavier spoke, they dared not disobey, they quickly tidied up and went back to their rooms.
Xavier closed the door and lay back down on the bed.
It was quiet outside, but he still couldn't sleep. He turned over a few times, still unable to sleep.
He was about to get up and turn on the light to smoke, but his phone on the bedside table suddenly lit up. He glanced at it, it was a message from Norah, and he immediately sat up from the bed.
Norah's message said, [I can't sleep. I'm having insomnia; I kind of miss you.]
Xavier leaned against the headboard, looking at the phone screen.
After five minutes, Norah sent the second message, [Did that Daisy contact you again?]
Xavier's long fingers were on the phone, slowly typing, [No.]
Daisy indeed didn't contact him, but during the movie, his father did call him, but he didn't answer. Without thinking, he knew he was asking about his blind date with Daisy.
Norah sent a message: [So you haven't slept yet!]
Xavier could almost instantly imagine Norah's surprised face in his mind. He replied to her, [I'm watching Zachary and the others play cards.]
Norah sent another message: [I can't sleep either, I wish I could watch you guys play cards too.]
Xavier frowned and replied, [Stop messing around!]
Norah sent a cute cat emoji.
Xavier looked at the emoji, and his heart softened a bit.
Norah sent another message: [It's late. Go tell them to go to bed early; you should rest as well.]
Xavier put his fingers on the phone and replied, [Okay.]
Norah sent a sleeping emoji, waited a minute, then sent another message, [Goodnight!]
Xavier didn't reply, he just watched the screen dim bit by bit until it went black.
He put down his phone and reached for his cigarettes.

The readers' comments on the novel: Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)
May we please have updates. Thank you...
Someone needs to send a new picture of Trevor to Oliver and Luke so that they will get their requested reports to Gonzalez asap. If they didn't know, now they know what awaits them if they continue to disrespect and NOT follow orders....
Well, well, well. I love how Gonzalez sent out the warning that he's the CEO and either they will acknowledge him as such or get their due diligence. I'm waiting to see how the Franco family will be walking on eggs and come into a new understanding of Gonzalez taking charge. Thank you so much for the five updates....
Adrian is hoping that he has a chance with Norah and will do everything and anything in his power to keep Norah and Xavier apart....
Thank you for the updates. I hope that Norah will remember Xavier and their relationship before the accident and that they will ever be to....
Thank you, thank you for the updates today, which is also my birthday. The saga continues. I really want Norah and Xavier to be together... but he has to want Norah....
May we have updates please. Thank you....
