Janice paused, seemingly surprised by his blunt answer.
"I'm sorry," Xavier continued. "I never made it clear to Norah. Please don't blame her. She's young and doesn't know any better. This is entirely my fault."
"So, our Norah is dealing with unrequited love," Janice said, her tone filled with surprise.
Xavier pressed his lips into a tight line and stayed silent.
Janice smiled faintly. "Then she must have been a huge bother to you. I apologize on her behalf."
Xavier's chest tightened. "She wasn't."
"In that case," Janice said gently, "I'd prefer if she didn't come here anymore. Once you two are apart, her enthusiasm will fade over time, and she won't bother you again."
Xavier's dark eyes were bottomless, hiding any trace of emotion. "I'll handle it," he said softly.
"Alright. I trust you." Janice smiled and nodded.
Janice didn't stay much longer. After she left, Xavier sat alone on the second-floor balcony for an hour before pulling out his phone and calling Simon Hanson.
"Didn't you want to set me up on a date? When is it?"
Simon was shocked but thrilled. "You finally thought it through?"
"I'm not coming back to the Hanson family right now. If she can accept that, we can meet and talk," Xavier said.
"Then when are you coming home?" Simon asked.
"I don't know," Xavier replied coldly.
Simon didn't dare push his luck. The fact that Xavier was even willing to date was enough to make his day.
Hanging up, Simon immediately went to find Hannah Hanson to make the arrangements.
The very next day, Hannah called Xavier. She asked what he thought of Carol, the girl he'd met previously, and explained that Carol had been interested in him from their very first meeting. Carol had just held some misunderstandings about the Hanson family, which were now cleared up, and she had been asking about him repeatedly.
